Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1872-10-31

The Republican meeting last Saturday
considering the extr eme inclemency of
the weather, was n complete success.
The audience was largely composed Of
people from the country, for whom the
meeting was specially designed. No Re
publican day meeting having been held
here for the past several years, farmers
justly complained that they We're never
afforded any opportunity of attending
our meetings. The simple announce
ment that Senator Sherman would speak
las Saturday afternoon, brought many
of our staunch Republicans and their
ladies to town from the different parts
of the county. AT quarter before two
p m. the Upper Sandusky Independent
Band CAV. the signal for tn e people to
assemble and Beerys Hall, was soon well
filed. On motion of Gen. Kirby, Chair.
man of the Republican Cent raj Commit
tee. Henry Peters, Esq. was called to the
chair, which he promptly assumed, and
at once introduced the distingui she'd
Senator, who began by saying that it h~s
not been customary by either party to
hold many meetings between the Octo-
Der and November elections In frct the
great national question had already been
practically settled The important is
sues of the day were then discussed by
the Senator with great ability. 1t is in.
deed rare that an audience gives SO
many manifestations of delight, or that
a speaker is so frequently and heartily
applauded as on this occasion. The
monstrous hypocracy of the so-called
Liberals" was held up in such man
ner as to excite universal laughter and
ridicule. The utter groundIessness of
every charge made against the Pres i
dent and his administration was prov en-
to the entire satisfaction of the intelli-
gent audience. The Military Ring"
''French Arms" appointment of Rela-
tions to Office" ''Gift Taking and 9TH
er questions were each handled in .
clear, candid, and impartial manner.
While acknowledging tie great ability
of Mr.. Greeley rs an editor. in view of
his impractiblc theories and vascilating
turns of mind. He regards him totally
unfit for the Office of President of the
United States. and his election, which is
not within human probability, would be
a great national calamity. He paid a
glowing tribute to Gen. Grants career
his personal character. patiotism, unwa-
vering fidelity to the principles of the
Republican party, and defended his
administration as in all great points. the
most successful in the history of the
country.
After the close of the meeting, tho
Senator repaired to the Warpole House,
where he was serenaded by the Upper
Sandusky Independent Band. He ap-
peared on the balcony and in II few re-
mal ks acknowledged the honor, compli-
mented the Band upon their performan-
ces, and then inyited the members to
his room, where cordial hand shaking
took place. During his brief stay, mum
Der Of our citizens called to pay their re
spects to him. This Was his last speech
in Ohio for this campaign, .as all this
week, at the urgent solicitations of the
CIdbC Oom ihitISC' hc 10 W Spcdh al Ndri-
GUS points in New York State, where
we bespeak for him the most cordial and
enthusiastic welcome.

American ladies' on the street. The
