sgR THE LADIES OUT. "a 1871
At an early hour the crowd commenced
filing the hall, more ladies being present
than at any former meeting. No loyal
citizen could fail to be proud of the patriot
ism displayed in every feature and Incl
dent of this perfect meeting. The trans
parencies had been tastefuly ornamented,
and painted with the national Red, White
and Blue.
MUSIC. M
Ifthere was particle of the spirit of
loyalty in any breast, it could not fail to
respond to the stirring music of the band
with which the meeting was opened. The
people Of Dodgeville feel a just pride in
this band, which is, for its numbers, Sec
ond to none in the State. 1t has been out
at all the political meetings of the canvass,
and is entitled to the thanks of our music
loving, liberty loving people.

given the second place on the national

infamous letter are incorporated as plank
OF their platform. Their convention was

Four years Of war had accomplished
what hundred years of peace might
not have done-the freedom of four mill

have Government of which we may well
feel proud. The General rejoiced las we
