The Pioneer Of this morning, family claims
nat there was large croud in attendance
What does it call "large?"
But what shall we say of the glorious Re-
ublican gathering that shall give an adequate
lea gifts numbers, and enthusiasm. By half
asst two o'clock is was computed not less than
900 people were on the GROUND. Long after
he meeting commenced, wagon loads kept
oming in from the country. Hon. Carl
churz was met on the St. Paul road by a
recession headed by the Great Western
Band, and escorted into town. The procession
cached nearly mile in length. One feature
fit was a wagon containing thirty-two young
aides, dressed in white, representing the diff
arent States in the Union, and drawn by four
'eautiful horses.
After the procession had marched through
he principal streets of St. Anthony, the long
inc of carriages and wagons drew up to the
Speakers stand in the grove, where COL Cy-
us Adrich was chosen President, who then

usual felicitous style on local issues, to the
light of the audience.
As demonstration ;of popular feeling
favor of the Republican cause, the m;
gathering was one of the most effective a
impressive ever held in Minnesota; some
the banners in the procession had motto
which were quite TO the point. On one b;
ner was the picture of man leading d.
key to trough, which was noticed, "Lo

crib" On another we read /: "Down W
the tax leechers ;" on another: "No m
rag money-down with Sibley's wild cats
on another "Ten thousand Republican maj'
ty;" on another, Stree homes for the hor
less" and so on to the end OF the list.
