but imagine our nstonishn,ent when We saw
more thaa that rany in single delegation that
came down Fox River. The number of peop.e
may be safely estimated at 5000. The same
number Of Democrats would pass for $4,000;
but it Is not necessary for Republicans to e1ag-
gerate. The mixed truth is big enough. The
procession from Een, ST. Charles, Geneva and
