About dusk last evening we went TO The
Rancho to see what preparation was making,
and we found the building filled with live Dem
ocrats, some filling torches, some adjusting
globes, some rigging up transparencies, ban
ners, &c, every hand busy at something and
every heart full of enthusiasm, ever and anon
some one more impatient than another, ex-
claiming "ain't it most time to start, wont
we be too late" &c, reminding one of the ca
gerness which the soldier manifests TO rush in
to battle when he hears the enemy's guns in
the distance To carry out this figure, we
will just say that some of the enemy's mum.
tions Of war were not far oH-for the Wide
Awakes were endeayoring to drum up crowd
at the Nigwam From what we learned after
our return from the Burg we rather guess
the drum sounded funeral notes entirely.
From The Rancho we went to the hall Of the
Oregon Regulators, where we found the same
preparation-Capt MARKGRAFF's men were
busy and from thence we dropped in at the
Young Hickories' headquarters, and it was
the same. Everywhere 'the boys" were at
work, making ready, to show the Burg folks
that things ioere working" in the city of Day
ton.
From the Young Hickories' hall we pro-
ceeded to the depot to await the arrival of the
procession. There we found quite number
assembled, among them many Publicans who
were much disposed to poke little fun at the
Democrats by prophesying that the crowd
would be small enough for them to call il fiz-
zle; we enjoyed their remarks, but preferred
TO let things work for few moments, for we
knew that their hopes would soon be blasted

tails, and the red white and blue torches, began
to file into the depot-first the Oregons with
their military step, tramp, tramp, on through
the building, and the end not yet; then the
Never Sleeps, their mammoth transparency
preceding nearly two hundred men; then the
Irish Americans with their green badges and
straw hats; then the Young Hckories, to the
number OF hundred and score When the
crowd had passed the depot it was found that
the number of cars was not near sufficient TO
contain the vast number the railroad men
said they had put on three more cars than the
number taken to Miamisbnrg by the Wide
Awakes, thinking that would certainly be
enough Two more were added, but the crowd
were not all in yet; another was put on, which
was filed in a moment of time and even then
there was enough outside to fill another-but
cars had run out, and every inch Of space
3 throughout the train of ten cars was called
. into requisition, which made it very uncomfort
= able, many Of the seats containing three per
0 sons. At last the train moved away, ant
cheer upon cheer of the assembly at the depo
which was answered with will by those OF
o board
a In very short time the train approached
0 Miamisburg, where sight the grandest w
o ever beheld met our vision. The depot wa
7 surrounded by blazing torches, with their red
white and blue globes, and from the depot Il
a point beyond the bridge into town, on eithe
side was a line Of torches, through which thu
Dayton boys marched, greeted by cheer afte
cheer, loud and long, for douglas and Vail.
p AT this point the procession looked better thar
b. at any other, because Of the close ranks
!. Those of our readers who witnessed the recep
h ton of the Hamilton delegation at the time o
the dedication of the Rancho, can form som,
' idea of its magnifcence and beauty.
The procession marched through the prin
{ cipal streets Of the city and along the entir,
line it was greeted with shouts by the men
a and the waving of flags and handkerchief
by the ladies'. On every street a large mum
ber Of houses were Illuminated, and from THU
q sign, we came TO the conclusion that Miamis
= burg contained .teio Democrats. Among
= them we noticed the houses Of John Hecker
