DISTANCE LENDS EECHANTMENT-
| RACINE, Sept. 2-The campaign was
opened here to night in splendid and
most effective manner, The Hon. James
r. Doolittle addressed one of the largest
and most enthusiastic meetings ever held
in this city. He was advertised to speak
III he Court House, but long before the
hour announced it was crowded to re
| pletion, and vast crowds were unable to
gain admission. The meeting was then
adjourned to the open air, and he spoke
| from the Court House steps. His speech
was two hours lopg,and one Of the ablest
productions Of his life. The immense
audience was held spell bound, and
greeted the speakers many eloquent and
powerful appeals with the widest APP
plause-M5l. Nea0s.
AS the meeting was held Saturday
plight, after eight o'clock, and the Nea0s
comes out Sunday morning, the prob
ability is, that both the account of the
meeting and the extracts from the speech
were prepared some hours previous to
| the meeting. Certain it is, that whoever
furnished the NeaOs with an account Of
the meeting, drew entirely upon his i'm,
agination for his report for, as q polit
zeal demonstration, it was q most total
| failure
The story about the Court House being
crowded, &c, is all bosh The meeting
was purposely held on the Court House
steps, which come square to the sidewalk
IN one of the greatest thoroughfares in
our city ; and we say it, not out of spite
or any i'll will, that the crowd at 20 time
was larger than is usually seen about the
lamp light stand of Wizard Oil pedler
and no larger than the same band used
on that occasion would draw any evening
in the week. There IS no use in trying
to magnify the affair into anything like
q demonstration for every democrat in
this city know it was failure. Had it
been held anywhere save in zone of the
most public thoroughfares in the city,
where dog fight would halt as large a
crowd,it would have been dead failure
The people in this city understand
perfectly well the position occupied by
Senator Doolittle While they respect
him as citizen, they have no regard fol-
his political heresies. They know
perfectly we'll the finespun theory upon
which he attempts to vindicate his
course, and they do not care to hear il
again. This is a gospel truth
Rdcjne Journal.
The above editorial from the Racine
Journal is a sufficient answer not only t.
the Milwaukee No208 but to the Kenoshs
Union. 1t is evident that both the Noa0
and the Una0D have labored to exalt
meeting compared to Wizard Oh
peddlers gathering, no larger than til,
same band used on that occasion would
draw any evening of the week, into
great and enthusiastic meeting. B,
exaggeration and brag they hope to make
up for the deficiency in numbers an(
enthusiasm.
The Union says: "The Court Hous

We never saw a more attentive ant

this sentence to find out what it means
The word vt must refer to and be a sab
