MADISON COUNTY MOVING!
Eight thousand Wigs in Council old Madi-
son in the field.
Correspondence of the Albany Evening Journal
CAzENovIA, July ID, 1874
FRIEND WEED: The largest assembage OF
people ever held in this county was yesterday at
the glorious Wing Mass Meeting "Old Tips
raising" in 1910, was "small fry beside it. In
vain would it be for me to attempt description
of the numbers, professions, banners, and enthu-
siasm on this occasion. You know our peculiar
position; last fall the Locos had 1000 majority
in the county, Notwithstanding this, her indomita-
Bile Wings rallied in spirit and with detcrm-
nation which surpassed anything inthe campaign
Of 40 On Thursday the Locos had a Mass
Meeting, and with the efforts Of riders all over
the county and fourshing handbils of the an
nouncement of Gen. Dix, At Gen. Barker, Lieut..
Gov. Dickinson, II. A. Foster, Michael Hoffman,
and host of others, yet there was not one man
or boy over two thousand The next day the
Wings had over S,C0O-the Locos concedng to
|, and glad to drop it at that.
AS said, will not attempt description of the
pertormance-alow me simply to mention that,
Il
in oUer four miles in lengtl--and in it were nine
ty four-horse teams-he whole procession from
these two towns was more than one hour and
half in entering Morrisvile, the seat of the Con-
venton.
Farmers were getting out flax, hanging up
feeces On the platforms over their wagons ; me-
chanics working at their various trades, with mot
toes over them, "Give us Protection" One ban
ner needs especial mention. A beautiful carriage,
filled with beautiful ladies', had beautiful banner
floating over them, on which was Inscribed An
ne1ation but no Ieras'
After the organization Governor Seward APP
peared on the stand and addressed the immense
throng for an hour and half | will say moth
ing of what the speakers said-the people know
and will remember Succeeding him was. John
a. Collier, who won golden opinions for himself
in speech of over an hour on the State policy.
After him came Joshua A. Spencer, in his usual
strong, logical, and persuasive manner, for about
an hour. And closed by the eloquent Geo. Daw-
son, in glowing speech of an hour.
You can have no idea of the satisfaction of the
people when they returned, determined to con-
quer or to die. Old Madison, rest assured is
coming. Her wool growers, her farmers, her ar
tlsans, her honest people cannot and ,O'N not go no
protection and the abominable scheme of annex
alton. Tell your next neighbor, Greeley, to take
Madison out of the " doubtful" list. Yours truly.
CHEMUNG WAKING Up There are good in
dcations even iron, Chemung, says the Albany
Evening Journal, where Locofocoism has so long
been in the ascendant, The Elmira Republican,
in giving an account of very animated Wing
meeting, which was addressed by the Hon. A. B.
Dickinson, Judge Dunn, E. s. Sweet, Esq, and
c. l.. Ward, ESQ., says
Judge HERR1cK, followed next and RE-
NOUNCED THE LOCOFOCO PARTY, to
which he has been attached for 80 years, and
gave clear and satisfactory reasons for so doing
lie said he had gone with the Locofoco party I'M
til he Was convinced there was no vestage of de-
mocracy left in it. He said he was satisfied that
the Wing party was the true Democratic party,
and he should at the coming election, vote with
It for the first time, and support CLAY and Fac
