reception Of Senator Douglas, as tho standard
bearer of tho halftribe Of the squatteri.es, b,
his Chicago ftierds. II had been down On TIL
bills for Al ehr1ieT period BY sone weeks, bu'
no sooner Was it known that Gov. Seward wI
. to appear before our Chicago Republicans, tia.
the eqaatteEite managers preferred to come OF
In the afterpiece and see how large gathering
, would be given to the noble Senator of New
! York with view to measure their own effort,
, By the sane.
We think they have already enjoyed full
measure Of regret, at this change in their Fro
gramme, in voluntarily bringing themselres
into SO close juxtaposition with the noble ora-
ton Of Tuesday last. They hare been diligent-
" at work, however, and dzummed out a gath
ering for last evening and to-day by exsrt:ons
Of no commen order.
Judge Douglas was to come in over the Mich
isan Central railroa1 At +. u. It was decided
to meet him at Michigan City, sixty miles frem
Chicago, and special train was chartered by
the squatterites to convey the Reception Com.
mittee to tha: place. They were to leare there
yesterday morning, and len ears we're insisted
on, Is the managers we're confident that doe
hundr<d persons would 60 out to meet Little
Dag. They te'egraphed the figure to Michigan
City and assured The unhappy innkeepers th7.
five hundred persons would be down On the
morning train and require dinners there yetts:-
day. There mnst have been cold dipr ers wait.
ing aud wasted yesterday at Michigan city, f.r
BY hard druaming, and \ free train, onty n;n..y-
f0e persons went out 10 meet the object Il tie
ovation.
Tho train reached this city in return little
after eight O'Clock Last evening, aud Judge
Douglas aod tie Committee left the cars at P.sk
Row, being there received BY torchlight pro-
cessiou and escorted through the principal
streets 10 the Tre.nont House.
| The Squatter leaders had their press papes
IN active operation eli yesterday, pressing
the Irish laborera; coal hea1ers aud d.aJmen
into their torcl.Ight procession. Three.fourtbs
Of the whole turnout were hired by the hour"
Every fellow and ragged boy who would agree
t, walk In the procession was provided With
torch gratuftcuslJ. Tho dray horses were
ssddled and the drivers mounted On them and |
furnished free With lamp and stick. The |
Douglas committee bought ! 1000 caps and gayc
them away to Ill who would promise to join |
the march. By employ ing these extraordinary
methods the ranla were swollen ous to 1900 or
2e00me and boys. Three counts made 1920 to
1910, and one count mads by Republican aud /
two Democrats made the number 2,421, horse
and foot, men and boys, music snd officers in
cluded. This was several hundred the highest |
report that was made; 2ss were MOUNTED, being |
the draymen before mentioned.
The regular organized aud drilled Ever
Readies" corresponding to cur Wide Auakes,
did not exceed 400, including two email cenpa-
MICS from Aurora and Batavia All the rest Of
the torch-bearers were pressed into the service
for the occasion, raw Celts-men and lads
many Of them fresh from Cork and T;pperary.
We presume that the turn out to night, when
recruited oy oil the arrivals By railroad, will
much exceed that Of last night Though the
advertised programme set forth " Douglas is to
abe welcomed on his entrance into ths ctr
"with grand torehl;ghs proc<ssioa ard esc:rt,
"in which all fClubs snd Associations ara 70.
"quested to jain, including those arrived from
sebroad," putting Tho turnout ar the 1ar3est
estimate, and adding al the scrspings, urchins
and Fsbble eto the regular conpspie5,-s still
it foil shart Of being on<tAird Is numerous As
the Republican procession, which was composed
exclusively Of regular uniformed, organized
and drilled Wide Awakes-a!l sold vote1s.
This distinction must not bs left out Of Sigh. in
drawing comparisons between the turn ont TO-
night and tie Tuesday night procession, which
was u Wide Awake procession exclusively.
The decorations and i!Iuminations at tbs TIE
mont House were those prepared for the ora
tion Of Tuesday sTening, used at secondhand.
Besides this, We eounted three SALOONS On Ran
dafph street and two On Clark that hang out
e9lored lanterns, purely with an eye to busi.
meas, perhaps, to lure in thirsty squa.teritee.
The procession marched txo abreast, and
skillsully avoided long drawn ont inspection BY
making short turns not set down upon their
line of march. Thus they passed up Madison,
Clark, Lake and State streets, or nearly an eu.
tire circuit.
At The fremont House ,on the Dearborn street I
front, very farge crowd gathered at tho hour !
OF expected arrival and kept their patience and
their places remarkably well for nearly two
hours. It Was past ten O'Clock P. II. when
Judge Douglas made his appearance upon the :
balcony. He Was received in brief speech by f
Col. E. D. Taylor. Judge Douglas made but q
brief and informal speech in reply.
Tkten altogether, the Squatterite reception
