Polo, OuLE COUNT, Sept. 6, 1874,
You have already learned, by telegraph, OF
tie result Of the grand Union demonstration
In this s.wide.awake, go-ahead little city, to-
day. It YVES, in all respects, O splendid and
cheering erccees. It does really seem as If
each meeting is an improvement upon It's
predecessor. Wherever + 60, find the
Union men more active and more enthusias.
tsc, and more confident of SUCCESS.
| FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF RESULTS.
When the campaign first opened and when
| We hhd no national candidate and no plat
1ofm OF principles 10 oppose, in common
with many sincere friends of the Untoo, /
Was extremely doubtful Ut the resnlt, 20 lar
as our own State was concerned. OF tho
election OF Mr. Lincoln never felt doubt
but Was fearful that our State ticket would
suffer defeat,
Ihe Conye1tion WIS held; Peace sae aks
ard copperheads blarted their treason upon
me public streets Of Chicago; Double En-
.nd7S platform was adoL ted, and "L1ttIe
Mac" the ngricultnrlst Of the Chickahomf-
NJ, Wss nominated. Thenceforth it was all
etear eallibg. There wss no danger OF rni,-
nlDg upon oars and hidden reefs. The Uniun
men were e.tisfled they rere right, and thew
went ahead" Ii Is just MS certain that ire
State and electoral ticket will be surcesslnJ
as that tue Angtl Gabriel Will blo1 hIs
lump on tha morning Of the general resur-
TIE pRA1R1Es ABLAzE.
You who have not attended these meettnpa
IN Inc Infal dtstf1cta, can have no proper ap-
pfcclatlOn OF the determination Of tia mem
Pic. The prairies are literally ab(azc With
cxcitemt Ut and zeal. And this is not confln.
ed to the men,.
UNION WOMEN.
The women, always loyal, ore Just as "a.
tIlotlc and enthusiastic as their lords. TheY
attend the meetings, rain or Rhfno. and theJ
spplaud as loudly as ii they had tie ri.bt to
lote- l sometizes wish they could meet ut
the ballot bnx with tho Horsee half OF cres-
tlon. They would be certain to net and vote
a. Frudent1y as tbe5, and not coppsrnead
wontd find thvo7 at their hands. 1t is rare
to And coppethead woman. T have never
seen any tn this lltftuoe. 4 poor, miserable,
cobtemptibie, disun1on peace sneak and a
woman are two things that don't harmonize,
There is no spiritual affinity between them.
Jutt over the border the case is different
ap2 Citations. You can trust the wives and
dauelters OF the people OF the North.
Death to traitors," aud "the Union. It
must and shall be preserved" are their mot
tocs. They nail theIr white colors to the
mast. and then they aoat triumphant. The
county ia ERie.
TIE w1GWAM.
These were the reflections that forced
Themselves upon my mind when I entercd
the WiyWem constructed In this city by the
live Republicans Of O.le. This Wiewam Ia
an immense af[air. I cannot tell how long 1t
Is, or how vide 1t is, or how much lumber
was used In its construction, or how many
f1r bo.&
the wosld-I dyu't know. ali 7 do know
about 1t Is. that It is q highly credl.able
building, and that the Union men Of Orle,
in this regard, hare taken the ''starch o1t''
Of the Republicans OF other portions OF the
State. ano that they will poll vote In No
Femoer that WILL astonish some people.
HEAP OF PEOPLE.
The nearest approach can make to the
numbers that attended the Convention In the
Wig %am to-day, is that made by ths owner
Of Mississippi woodward. when asked If
tIere were any + imusquitoss 10 hts neighbor.
hood replied, No, nary musketer here, but
there's 9 heap on Deg Tail Bar" There was
estimate NOT very definite, but comprehen-
siyc. The Wigwam was tiled, every ayaila-
DIG sitting and standing place was occupied.
