Otthe ratif cation meeting In Louisville,
the Journal says
at far exceeded n numbers, and It great
ly surpassed in enthusiasm, all the vast
the mighty mass meetings, held
in Louisville during the memorable Presi-
dental campaigns Of former years. There
was not one OF the great Harrison meetings
of 1910, not one of the great Clay meetings
OF lS4l, not ono of the great Taylor meet
ngs of 1913, that could compare in nagni-
tude or IN spirit with this tremendous out
pouring Of the people for the ratification Of
the nomination Of Gen. Winfield Scott and
the Hon. w. A. Graham for the two high
est Slices ofthe Republic"
awe should be glad to be able to give ab-
structs OF the eloquent speeches made upon
the occasion, but we could not do them JUS
tice, nor could we give any adequate idea Of
the shouts which they called forth from the
gathered thousands. Ifthcre have en- any
doubts heretofore as to the reception which
Kentucky, glorious old Kentucky, would
give to the Wing nomination, those doubts are
dispelled and annihiated forever and ever
We do not forget the overwhelming majority
which Kentucky gave for Cen Harrison in
1910, but we confidently believe that she
will give heavier majority for Scott and
Graham than she has given for any cantidnte
within the last quarter Of century. A spir-
il IS aroused in the hearts Of the Kentuck-
ians that nothing can withstand"
The meeting in Cincinnati was equally
large and enthusiastic. The Times, neu-
tral paper, says:--
Upon the whole, the demonstration was
quite encouraging to the Wbigs of this city.
! It exceeded in numbers the ratification OF
the Democracy, held few evenings since in
Court street square, and was far more enthu-
siaslic. One feature in it was observed by
every boGy. \ large portion Of the crowd
was composed Of Irishmen, who have here
tofore acted, almost to man, with the Dem
ocratic party. They were not only present,
but were among the most enthusiastic in the
cheering. This would seem to indicate that
large portion, AT least, Of the Irish voters
ofthis city intend to "bolt," and goit "iScoti
| free"
At this meeting, the Gazette says:
"Mr, Gibbons, an Erishman, and with all an
IriShman's fervor In the cause he cspOuses,
was the next speaker. lie proceeded to
give his reasons for supporting Scott end
Graham in preference to the nominees Of
the Democratic party, so called. Scott
though stuunch Protestant, was a catholic
lnan--catholic, in that hiS soul was large
enough to tolerate every form of honestly
entertained religious belief. [Applause, ana
cries Of "surc, aud aint we all going for
him"l When the corrupt and perjured En-
glish government would with characteristic
cowardice in crushing fulIen foe, have shot
the Irish prisoners taken in the last war
with that country, Gen. Scott stood upon the
quarter of an English man-oiwar--dy'e
mind that boys!--on an English man-of- f-icar--
and told the epuuletted hrelngs Of that
man shot, t,Oo British officers should bitethe dust
Enthusiastic and long continued cheers for
Scott. That dauntless bearing saved my
countrymen. And can | forget the mag.
nanim us actions Of the conqueror of Mexi.
co, who secured to vanquished people al
h-righ,s Of property and-more than this
all the rights and privileges of free and un
restricted worship! Never Gentlemen, my
father fought under Gen. Scott on the bat
tie field, and, II it pleases God, | am going I,
fight for him in this political campaign.-
! [Checrs.
Mr.. Gibbons alluicd to the clause in tht
constitution Of New Hnmpshire--thnt State
in which Gen. Pierce is said to have beer
the leading poiticiun--dis(ranchising all o
his faith, and declared that the arch enemies
OF his dearly loved Ireland--Lord Lyndhurs
! (hisses) or Lord Clarendon, (groans) or the
Duke OF Welington--should rs soon receive
his vote as this same Franklin Pierce"
This, in mercantile phrase, is only n sam
pie the lot, aud conveys mere idea OF the
peoples enthusiasm and rejoicing.
