numbers and spirit anything Of the kind

procession of six hundred strong. Anoth-
er of the German wards marched 500

A rousing Republican meeting was held
at Hillsboro, the county seat of Montgom-

after hearing the speeches of the after
noon, had come square over into the Re-
publican ranks, and avowed their intention
to vote for "Honest Old Abe" Many 9th
