Splendid Democratic Demonstration.

Never before in the political history of Of
tawa have we had SO fine an impromptu pol
itical demonstration as was gotten up at a few
hours notice on Saturday evening of last week
in front of the Clifton House. The only no.
tice given was line in the FREE TRADER of
Saturday morning that the Seymour Legion
would parade in the evening, and halt in
front of the Clifton Hotel, where they would
be addressed from the balcony. When the le-
gion did halt there, they found themselves
jammed into the smallest possible space, by a
crowd of several thousand democrats, who
had also come to hear the speaking.
The first speaker called out was Col. Il. j.
TURNER, OF Freeport, late chairman of the
REPUBLICAN State Central Committee. Col. T.
gave very good reasons why he could no
longer train in the ranks Of the radicals, and
then proceeded, for an hour or more, to give
us one of the finest Democratic speeches we
have heard during the campaign.
After him Mr.. BARGE, of Dixon, was called
out, and then we had another splendid
speech. Mr.. Barge dealt not only in sledge ham
mer facts and Arguments, but kept his audi
ence in the best possible humor by his happy
illustrations. We have heard few more able,
logical, and convincing speakers than Mr.. b.,
who at the same time can be so witty and en-
tertaining.
II seems quite number of republicans had
attended the meeting with the purpose of
calling out Mr. Storrs, when the democratic
speakers had finished Mr., Storrs, however,
on being called out, didn't like the wayin
which tho crowd was rapidly dwindling
down to the little end of nothing and pru-
IDENTIFY declined to address democratic au-
dience"

Pendleton at Springfield.

The greatest political demonstration of the
present campaign took place on Thursday at
Springfield on the occasion of Geo H. Pend
Teton fulfilling his appointment at that city.
1t is estimated by candid men that 40. 900 peo-
pie were gathered in the park west of the city
to hear the distinguished statesman of Ohio.
a special railroad train from Chicago brought
fifteen carloads ofpcople from the north a
special train from Alton brought IA carloads
from that and intervening towns; two trains
from the east on the Toledo, Wabash and
Western railroad, brought "A carloads. while
from Quincy, Is coaches and considerable
number ofpattorm cars came loaded with pas
sengers. All of these delegations came decked
out with flags and banners,-the number of
decorations OF this kind being over 1000.
Besides these, every county in tie whole
Springfield Congressional district was repre-
sented by delegations numbering from 90 to
1000 each.
MIR. Pondleton appeared on the ground at
2 o'clock p. NJ, and spoke three hours, holding
his audience spellbound by the eloquence and
impressiyeness Of his oratory In the evening
there was torch-light procession several miles
in length, and numbering from six to seven

The Expulsion in Georgia.

A trenchant article on the expulsion of the
negro members of the Legislature of Georgia.
will be found on our second page, copied from
the St. Louis Republican. II remains but to
add, that the Senate have followed suit to the
House, and expelled the negro members OF that
body also.
There is mcanness about this that finds
few parallels in history These carpet-bag-
gers first bamboozle the poor negroes in elect
ing them to office, promising them equal
rights, &c, and then, after getting office them
selves, they turn upon the negroes and GUST
them from office, on the plea that by the con-
stitution which these same arpet-baggers
made to secure equal rights to the negroes,
the negroes are ineligible to office No wonder
the expelled negroes threaten war of extir-
minatlon against the carpet-baggers.
But what must be thought now of the great
congressional reconstruction scheme when the
radical party itself in the South is defeating it
and rendering it abortive? If democrats at
the South are called rebels and traitors for op-
posing the reconstruction scheme by which
they are placed under negro domination, what
is to be said of the carpet baggers, who, under
| circumstances involving infinite treachery and
baseness, do the same thing?

Maine Election.
provenlent,

The Republican papers have set up shout
over the election in Maine on Monday,
claiming great victory because they claim to
have carried that state by 10000 majority.
Were this even true, how much victory
would that be q The Republican majority in
Maine was,
in 1850. Observation-Disclosures 6.11S
i0of'' 5000. 's''o5s
1000, 1870
In 1867 the election was so mixed up with
the temperance question that it was no fair
political test, the nominal republican majority
being but II GA. The election on Monday was
again on square political issues with a very
full vote, and the republicans are quite willing
to take 10000 majority
But is their majority so large? We see in
yesterdays daiies u despatch from Portland,
signed by Charles W. Robertson and E. w.
Flagg, two prominent citizens of Portland, in
which they say the telegraph, as usual, has
greatly oyerstated the figures in favor of the
Republicans from Maine, and that their real
majority, when the returns are all in, will not
exceed $4,000.
So the Republican 'victory" consists in a
loss Of about $4,000 votes since the election
in 1866, which was the last real political test
in that state.
How many more such victories can the par
ty stand
The Democrats expect nothing from New
England. In all Democratic calculations,
New England is always given up, except the
little oasis of Connecticut The RAIDS can have
Maine by 4O0 900 if they like, but look out for
Indiana, Pennsylvania &c.

A YER'S CHERRY PICTORIAL.

Is soothing expectorant, prepared to meet
the urgent need of a safe and reliable cure for
diseases OF the throat and lungs. A IL ial for
many years has established the fact that it is
more eff1caclous in pulmonary affections, than
any other remedy. Its efficacy has now been so
generally known, that it is justly regarded in
many countries as q medicine of indispensable
necessity. In Great Britain, France and Ger
many, where medical science cas- reached its
highest perfection, it is prescribed in Domestic
practice, and constantly used in the armies, in
hospitals, and other public institutions, where it
is regarded by the attending physicians as the
most speedy and agreeable remedy that can be
employed Scarcely any neighbOrhood can be
found where we'll known cases of diseased lungs,
which had buffled the efforts of the most skill
full and experienced doctors, have been peIma-
nently cured by it. These results are the most
convincing proofs of the superior curative prop
critics OF this preparation; and to them the au-
thors point with peculiar satisfaction. While it
extremely gentle as medicine in infancy and
youth, being quite harmless to even the youngest
when administered judiciously.
| This health restOrer accomplishes even more
by prevention than cure. If taken in season, it
heals all lrriations of the throat and lungs,
whether arising from Colds or Coughs, or from
other causes and thus prevents that long train of
| painful and ncurabe diseases, which would
arise from the neglect of them. Hence no fami-
| ly should be without it. Influenza, Hoarseness,
Coup, Whooping Cough, Pleurisy, Incpient Con-
sumption, and other affections of the breathing
organs, give way before this pre-eminent combi-
nation of medical virtues.
! Prepared by DR.. j. G. AVER & Co., Lowell,
Mass, and sod by all Druggists and dealers in
medicine everywhere.
