MEETING. Hi
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
GREENvILLE, O., September IL.
The largest collection Of people that
ever assembled in this County met here
to-day to hear Gen. Logan. o.. .-li
The crowd was variously estimated at
from twenty to thirty thousand. EARLY
in the morning the people began to pour
in from all directions, until the streets
became one moving mass of humanity.
Large delegations were in attendance
from all the townships in this County,
and from most of the surrounding coun-
ties of Ohio and Indiana. Seven hun
dred horsemen came in from Randolph
County, Indiana.
Gen. Logan, in company with Major
Williams, M. c., of Indiana, and Col.
Taylor, of Chicago, arrived at 10 A. NJ,
over the Dayton & Union Railroad,
which, through its sgentlemanly Superin-
tendent, Mr.. Stevenson, furnished a
special train for the occasion.
The General and suite were taken in
an open carriage, and preceded by the
Greenville and other brass bands, escort
ed through the principal streets of the
town, followed by a large procession.-
The General was everywhere greeted
with the most deafening cheers from the
assembled multitude. Hundreds of his
old comrades in arms swarmed around
| the carriage, anxious to shake by the
hand their old favorite commander.
The meeting was held at the Fair
Ground, and was addressed by Major
Williams and General Logan. The
speech of the first named gentleman was
short, but able and interesting.
Gen. Logan made one of his most pow
erful efforts. Hespoke for over two hours
in the most impressive manner to sea
of upturned faces. He completely de-
molished the absurd objections of, the
Vallandighammers to the suffrage
amendment
The amendment will lose no votes in
this locality after the meeting of to-day.
The Generals appeal to the, soldiers to
vote with the party they fought with,
was most beautiful and pathetic, and no
soldier who heard him will turn his back
| ernment In its struggle for existence.
The speeches were frequently and
loudly applauded Everything passed
off pleasantly, and the day will long be
remembered by the Union masses this
day assembled.
