Tanytown turned out largely, and the men Of prop
erty and education Of the vicinity were eager to
press their coLde mnaton Of the present Adminstra
ton and their determined intention to overthrow il
and place in power the nominees of the Philadelphia
Convention. What was especially Indicative of the
feeling which pervades the entire County Of West

political strife confessed that the events Of Kansas and
Washington have called them again to take earnest
part in public affairs others never known as politi-
clans proclaimed this time for the action Of all good
citizens and young Americans, never having voted at
