MEETING ON MONDAY EvENING.-Senator We'll
Ter and Calhoun Benham addressed the Democ-
racy of Nevada on Monday evening in the hall
over Boswell q Hanson's store. The room was
crowded and many were compelled to go away,
not being able to get in. Mr.. Weller is just out
OF sick bed, and his health would not permit
his speaking in the open air. His speech was
received with vociferous applause, and cannot
fail to have powerful effect in increasing the
Democratic majority in this county. Mr.. Benham
followed in a fOrcible and eloquent speech,
which was frequently interrupted by cheers

DEMONSTRATION or THE SACRAMENTO DEMocRA-

that the Democracy of Sacramento turned out
in their majesty on Saturday evening last. Ii
was the largest gathering of the campaign
some two thousand persons having assembled.
1t had been arranged that the meeting should
he held at the Forest Theater, and brilliant
pyrotechnic display noted the hour of assem-
bling. The Theatre was densely crowded, ev-
cry seat being occupied, and the lobbies being
also completely packed with human beings
Col Sanders was chosen to preside on the oc-
casion, and in speech of some hours duration,
he eloquently advocated the merits of our great
and glorious cause, and riddled the opposition.
At the conclusion of his address, the people we're
informed that some two or three hundred per-
sons had been compelled to go away, owing to
their inability to find even standing room in the
Theatre, and motion to adjourn to the front
of the Orleans Hotel was put and carried, with
loud huzzas for the Democracy
The meeting having re-assembled on Second
street, Mr.. V. E. Geiger took the stand, and
made one of the most eloquent speeches Of the
campaign. His vindcation of Stephen a. Doug
las from the assaults of the K N. politicians o.
this State was a mastery effort, and was receiy
ed with rapturous applause.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Geiger's speech, vo
ciferous calls were made for Mr.. Ferguson
That gentleman mounted the stand, the GROVE
made the welkin ring with their applause, ant
during the delivery of his brilliant speech h
was continually interrupted by the deafenin!
cheers of his audience.
The meeting concluded with trcmendou
cheers for Buchanan and Breckenridge.

wild, mournful melody of water, the
wailing of the brook for the green and
sunny channel left in the upper world,
