The MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT-Our
citizens turned out en- mGsse, without distinction
OF party, Thursday night, to hear the speakers
announced for the occasion. Senator Harlan
opened i'll very powerful and effective speech
OF some two hours IN length, in which he set
forth in clear and straightforward manner
his views and position on the principal topics
involved in the present canvass. The contrast
which he drew between the expenses of the
Democratic National Administration and the
Republican State Administration was especially
striking and overwhelming in ito effects upon
the Democratic leaders there assembled.
Senator Harlan was followed by Mr. Marsh,
the Republican candidate for District Attorney.
who made q few remarks to the voters present.
and declined entering into the discussion Of DO
litical matters.
Mr.. Marsh was followed by Captain Prentiss,
of Quincy, who announced himself as neither
professional gentleman nor stump speaker
but mechanic, as the Democrats of the
present day would phrase it, one OF the mud
sills of society. Captain Pren.lss' speech
was spirited and telling throughout, and his
concluding appeal to Henry Clay Wings brought
down the crowd in tumults Of cheering and
applause.
Upon the adjournment Of the Republican
meeting. the crowd called the names Of several
Democrats, and Judge Caegett was fool enough
to respond as usual He entered into history
Of his sacrifices, labors, sufierings, and pros
pective martyrdom, during the course Of
which be pitched into our young friend Nc
Crazy with malignant TRADE of falsehood and
abuse.
McCrary followed the Judge, demonstrated
the falsehood of his charges, and SO brought
home to the apprehension of the crowd the
mean and infamous course pursued by Clagett
in using his judicial position to wreak his pri-
waite spleen against young member of the bar
that almost every voice in the vast assembly
rose in indignant condemnation of Clagett, and
in hearty cheers for McCrary.
II was great meeting, take it all in all, and
while it effectually scaled Clagetts defeat told
powerfully in favor Of the entire Republican
ticket in the State.-Gate City, Saturday.
