The Lansing state Republican. [volume] (Lansing, Mich.) 1855-1874, 1860-09-12

Tie grand mass meeting which took place II
Lansing on Thursday, september 9th, was all
the Republicans could desira The accounts
which have gone abroad, have in every instance
uaiarrated the numbers; not perhaps from de-
ign, bat from wish - keep upon tire safe side.
There were uot less than
TWENTY THOUSAND
persons Iu attendance; and it is worthy OF note
that though it Was a regular od-timc mass meet
ing, such Is the people got up in 1910, aided by
none of the present facilities for Iocomotiou, a.
not man, woman or child of the vast concOurse
came a single rod by railroad, but every one
either by wagon, on horseback or on foot
With the same zeal aud spirit Indicated by the
Lansing meeting, and with the facilities enjoyed
by Detroit in her railroads and numerous steam
ers, with the additional advantage of large pop
ulogs surroundings, the meeting would have
called together lot less than one hundred thou
sand persons.
After the ma-lifcent reception and enter
taiancat o. Gov. Seward at Detroit, his progress
10 Lansing vas a triumphant march. At every
point upon the Detroit and Milwaukee railroad,
where the train made any stop, hundreds crowd
cd up TO the ears eager to st shape of the
head or glance Of recognition from the nau
whom they love and honor.
