day.
Our contemporary seems lately to have
abandoned all pretence of decency and truth
The above is specimen in point. Mrs.
Swisshem was not at the meeting, nor with
in one hundred miles of st. Paul on Monday
NIGHT: and il she had been, we fail to see
how the Pioneer can advance its cause by
such dirty filings as the above. There was
lady present with her husband, gentleman
from the Upper Mississippi, where in her
vicinity it is the custom for the mothers ana
daughters of the voters to attend and hear
the great men of the land expound their
views of governmental policy. Not aware
that here a different custom existed,
nor that decent females were liable to be
abused by ribald press for being in attend
ance on such an occasion, she accompanied
her husband to the meeting, unexpectedly to
find herself the only female present, but to
find also that great crowd treating her with a
chivalrous respect not to be found in the ranks
of Southern women-whippers, or of Demo-
Gratis who burn women in effigy, or who use
their presses to SANDER or slur them. She
was politely given seat on the platform
and we are happy to know not one thought
or expression was uttered by Speakers or au'
dience that was offensive or Earring to iemi
nine sensibilities. Thank Heaven-some Of
the old Yankee chivairy-not Southern
which honors woman, and defers to her dell
cacy and weakness, yet survives in the ranks
of the Republicans, if it has taken leave en-
tirely of the conductors of Democratic press
es, and of the Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor and his hirelings.
But of the meeting itself let us say
word. The Pioneer calls it Republican fiz
zle. This is in keeping with its reckless I'll
about Nss. Swisshelm being at the meeting
Senator Bingham, of Michigan, and Membe
of Congress FarnswOrth, had reached here al
ter dinner Oh Monday. Two OF three hour
+ was all the notice that could possibly be CIV
. en- for meeting to be held in front OF tn
': Winsow House.
A large crowd was in attendance, bon-fir
blazing, and music playing. The evening
however, was cold-too much so, as it wa
found, for Senator b., already hoarse with
cold to speak oct in the open air. A prop'
sition was therefore made to adjourn to Rot
ert's Hall, which was carried and with til
band at their head, the meeting formed itse
into a marching procession, over two square
long, and to some extent on both sides OF II
street and keeping step to the music,
length reached the Hall, and filed it in sly
it has never been filled before, even to ru1
ming over. The Republicans when there ha
" most glorious and enthusiastic tlme.-
. Speeches from Senator Bingham, MIR. Farm
worth, Mr.. Kreisman, an eloquent ue1m'
orator from Chicago, and S. P. Jennison,
St. Paul, kept up the feeling of the audien
making the occasion, altogether, perse
political "love FEAST" such an one as o.
Democratic friends are utterly unable to rec
izc in their own experience. The meetll
closed with three rousing cheers.
4 xe,,,, ,, oh -, 4 fpw more such fiZZl
and the Democracy are undone.
