ushered in crowd Of Wings into Rich-
mond, that numbered At the highest es-
innate about 5000. We could not
help recalling the crowded appearance
Of the streets then, when there only
oue-third as many, and the jam along
the entire length Of Main street to
Eighth, down Eighth to the Depot
down Noble to Fl. Wayne, Ayenue-up
the Avenue to Pearl-up Pearl to Liber-
ty Pike-down the Pike to Fifth-down
Fifth to Main ard thence to the Fair
Ground. The People were out in their
strength, and when the later end Of the
procession was on Main at Marion st.,
the head had crossed Main on. Pearl,
coming within . half square of tapping.
Whilst the hearts Of the Wings of
1910, leaped within them and rejoiced,
the countenances Of the "Locofocos" of
that day were saddensd BY the gloomy
prospects for them, that the vast crowd
prognosticated aud whilst every true
Republican, on Thursday last, felt his
heart overlooking with great joy 1t the
vast demonstration in favor Of pure
administration, and confidence IN "our
Great Captain-a true Independent, hon
est man." the Confederates looked as
though they had lost oil the gravel in
their gizzaIds, and were ready to cry
out for the rocks and mountains to fall
on them and hide them from them
selves /!
We copy the following account Of
our demonstration from the Cincinnati
Times and Chronicle-whose reporter
has given, we think from our own OBJ
servation Of the various delegations, &c.
Q truthful account
On September II, the Democrats
and Liberals from all this sur-
rounding country gathered togcth-
er, men, women, and especially
children, to beat the former Re-
publican demonstration held here
In this they we're successful to a
degree that every Republican felt
the humiliation, and vowed that
upon to-day they would so far out
strip all previous demonstrations
that the enemy would not dare to
try to eclipse them again. For
weeks silent preparations have
been making, and at daylight th is
morning the gatherings from the
outer townships commenced TO ar
rive.
