THE REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING
The Republican meeting of "Wednesday
last was by odds the largest, the most en-
thusiastic, and the most respectable ever
held in Ebensburg. The attendance in
the afternoon was probably 1000, and in
the evening fully $500. Though rain fell
at intervals throughout the day, at an
early hour delegations began arriving from
the different sections of the county. First
came the delegation from staunch old
Blacklick, in wagons beautifully decorated
with the National colors ; then the deiega-
tion from Susquehanna township, in four
horse wagon, with music and banners; /;
then delegations from Allegheny, Jackson,
Cambria, Summcrhill, and the other dis
tricts, till town was crowded to its utmost
capacity. 1t is worthy of remark that
erery election district in the county was
represented at the meeting by one or more
electors.
At - o'clock in the afternoon, the
meeting was called to order, in front of
mr Henry Fosters Cambria House"
where suitable stand had been erected
for the speakers. On motion Of Lieut.. j.
I o. Brook bank, John Williams, Esq, of

After the organization had been perfec-
ted, Gen. Harry White, our candidate for
State Senator, was introduced to the as
semblage. He spoke for two hours, and
fully and fairly discussed the great issues
involved in the campaign. Appealing,
not to the passions or prejudices of his
hearers, but to their reason, he proved to
them conclusively that the salvation of the
country depends upon the success at the
polls, next November, of the Republican
party He was rapturously applauded at
various parts of his speech.
Samuel Singleton, Esq, of Ebensburg,
was next called on. He spoke in his usual
forcible and eloquent style, and let day
light through the mischievous Financial
policy" of the Democracy. His remarks
were eagerly listened to and heartily ap-
plauded.
Before the conclusion of Mr. Singleton s
speech, the Johnstown delegation of 400
Republicans arrived in town, per special
train The delegation consisted of Tan
ners' Club, nearly 100 strong, with capes,
caps, and lanterns, Grant Club, Glee
Club, and large number of Republicans
7aot- connected with these organizations.
They formed in line at the depot, and es-
eosted by the Johnstown Cornet Band,
marched in procession to the place of meet
ing, where they were received with vocife-
rous cheering. If town before was crow
ded, now 1t was crann,e5 with Grant and
Colfax men.
Quiet being secured, Mr.. Singleton con-
cluded his speech; when the assemblage
dispersed, with cheers, for rest and refresh
ment.
At : o'clock, the Tanners Club. with
lighted torches, transparencies, banners,
and fireworks, and preceded by the Cor
net Band, paraded through the principal
streets. They made grand display,
which was keenly relished by the immense
multitude who witnessed it.
