public buildings. by appointing the Hon.
Joseph Rea, to the chair, and ]. NJ. Estep,
Esq, Secretary. The meeting was the larg-
est polilealgathering ever held in this coun7
ty since 40 We express the opinion Of
those WHO have had experience in number
ing large assemblies, when we say, that
there were OVER TWO THOUSAND
PEOPLE present. Aged men who had
not been at a political gathering for ten years
before, were in attendance TWAS indeed,
proud and glorious day, long to be re-
membered by the Democracy Of Harrison
County.
Col. McCook was first introduced to the
assembly. lie entertained the audiencebut
few moments, excused himself for not
speaking on the present occasion. If Sena-
tor Pugh had not heen present, it was his
intention to have spoken. He promised
thatat some other time during the campaign,
! he would endeayor to address US. But as
there were those here from a distance,
whom this audience had never heard, he
would give way for the present, that we
might have the pleasure Of hearing them.
Gov. Medill was then introduced to the
audience, and entertained it for one hour
and three quarters, in one OF the ableSt ad-
dresses ever delivered in this part Of the
country.
/ His manner was sincere, earnest, calm,
and digniied. His views were presented
with luminous elearness, and logical, ar
gumentatiye force, which sent them righ
home to the reason and understandings Of
his hearers. The state policy of the admin
istration was iriumphantly indicated. Ad
hitting that our taxes were enormous, he
pointed out precisely whore retrenchment
was nesled, and recommended the applica.
ton d the remedy THERE. The evil exists
al HOME and is within cur own power--h he
was not responsible for the ruinous anlount
Of our LOCAL taxes. Many Of those whe
had heard SO much about "enormous taxa
ltion, retrenehment and reform" and who
4 had come out almost determined to be dis.
I pleased, went home completely satisfied,

economically managed. He won golden
opinions here, md what is gilmore import

or happiness to have witnessed before, in
