Republican Co. Convention.

The Republican demonstration and con-
vsntion. came off on Saturday. according
TO previous notice The demonstration
was rather creditable affair as far as the
number was concerned. However, a large
proportion Of the crowd was composed of
Democrats. many of them having come in
to see what was going oil, and others were
in on business. All the horses that could
be obtained, both in town and its vicinity,
we're on parade at about half~pa.t nine a.
m. Many of them were ridden by Juvenile
republicans, who were manifestly much
elated at the appearance they made. Flags
with the name of LINCOLN, HAMLlN, LANE,
MoRroS and CoLFAx, were placed in the
6ridals Of the horses. There were 90
horsemen. in all. They first went out
north to meet the delegation from that part
Of the eounty--marched down Michigan
street to the never changing music of the
Republican band. They stopped several
times to cheer or hurral,," but, consid-
ering the number, they made weak eff,
ort. This was mostly owing to the fact
that, as we have before stated, many of
them were fledglings whose voices are in
the habit Of playing traitor, and they
would not trust them on this occasion.
Under the guidance of Col. Dr. CRAM
BURY, Senator BRowx, and Pixies Peak
Capt. Marshal. w c. SHIRLEY, the pro-
cession proceeded out south to meet the
southern delegations. After being gone an
hour or more they returned IN "full bio r."
The number of horsemen we before stated
and twenty-uine teams and two half teams.
One OF these last mentioned was loaded
with cool, which is emblematic of what
they are going to do to the people of Mar
shall during this campaign" pull the
wool over their eyes" In many of the
wagons were rails with small flags fastened
on them. As they passed along many of
the Democrats wanted to know if they
were like the one that was shipped from
here not long since-stolen from Demo-
Gratis fence. To this question the bearers
had no answers. but showed by their con-
fused looks and silly actions that they felt
exceedingly .f@. After marching around
town for sometime. they stopped at the
Court House, where they made tempo
rary organization. appointed the different
committees, aud then adjourned until one
o'clock p. m to meet at the Seminary
grounds.

himself, but this was matter that no one
