The Cincinnati Gazette says:
The great Union demonstration at Ham.
ilton, Butler county, on Saturday, was a
glorious success. The day opened auspici
ously, clear, bright and warm, aud thous.
ands upon thousands hockel to the meeting.
1t was announced in our morning city pa
pers on Saturday that an excursion train
would leave the Hamilton & D,vton depot
at 800 A. NJ, but many avail themselves
OF the A. NJ. and s A. NJ. regular trains,
to reach Hamilton in advance OF the crowd
Gen. Burnside, Gov Tod, Col Stanley
Matthews, with other distinguished gentle
men, went up on one of these trains
BY half past the excursionists began to
assemble. at the depot, and they filed the
panied by Menter's Cornet Band.
When tht train, on which were General
Burnside aud Gov Tod, reached Hamilton,
it was received with salute from 6-pound
brass piece stationed near the depot, and MS
the General and Governor left the cars they
we're received with cheer after cheer from
the large conc0ursc that had assembled at
the depot to welcome them. Carriages were
in Whiting to convey them to the residence
OF Col. Lew. Campbell, whose guests they
were during their brief stay
Halt an hour after the arrival Of the reg
ular A. NJ train out Of Cincinnati, came
the excursion train, with its delegations
from Cincisnati, Covington and Newport,
and from the way stations on the Hamilton
and Dayton road.
These were formed in line at the depot at
Hamilton, by Col A. w. Gilbert, Grand
Marshal, and preceded by Menter's Cornet
Band, they marched in line through some
OF the principal streets and passed the resi-
dence Of Col. Campbell, to the Court House
Park.
Shortly afterward an excursion train came
in from Dayton, bringing delegation from
that city, and among them quite number
OF ladies. The regular train on the Eaton
4 Hamilton Hoad brought down Gov. and
Mrs. Morton, who had remained over night at
Richmond, and this gentleman and his lady
were met at the depot by Mr.. Beckett, and
escorted to his private residence.
The Cincinnati Il indianapolis Junction
Railroad, although mentioned last, is enti
tied to the credit of bringing down the arg
est crowd.
Union county, Indiana, the home of Gen.
Burnside, turned out almost en- masse. An
