II, PTTYsBURG, Pa, Sept. o. 1872.
The effcct Of the demonstration in this city the
23d inst. In honor OF Carl Schurz and liberalism Is
still the all-absoTbing topic Of conversation
throughout this county, being considered one %
the most enthusiastic, as well as OF the largest
that has occurred since the war.
Allegheny county for the past ten years has been
noted chiefly being the headquarters of republi-
canism for Western Pennsylvania When Grant
was elected, In 1865 it gave o larger republican
majority in proportion to Its population than any
county in the Union.
The Soldiers and Sailors Convention that met
here last week seemed an earnest OF what the dis.
trict would do In the coming elections, but,
unfortunately for radlcalsm, Mr.. Greeley
came along Immediately after that Con-
yention had adjourned. and the ovation he
received was genuine that the hearts Of the re-
publican leaders nearly failed them, and it needed
but the advent OF Schurz last evening to complete
the final overthrow Of radicalism in this county.
1t was estimated yesterday morning that there
would probably be about three thousand men in the
procession, but as club after club passed along,
many OF them having been uniformed and organ
lied within twenty hours,
THE STRENGTH OF THE DEMONSTRATION
was manifest. Democrats who had felt the hu-
initiation Of defeat for years past were very jubi
liant, you may be sure, and when the procession

CURTIN's LIBERAL TENDENCIES,
as proved by his letter published to-day, and first
spondence, has done much for the benefit Of the
cause here. Although not altogether unexpected,

Of thought and speculation as to the causes that

OF decided views, is too well established in Penn

by Mcclure over two years ago in Philadelphia that

liberal movement had been thought Of; but IT shows
