on Market etreet square. between Madison and
Washington streets. The open air is not the
sb9st place to hold demonstration at this season
OF the year, when the evenings are chilly and
the premonitions Of winter make attractive the
romfort and warmth Of the hresdo. It could
not ne helped: however. There WAS no hall OF
sufficient size to accommodate the assemblaGe,
which, in spite Of the inevitable discomfort OF
standing for three hours in the damp atmos-
phere, was one Of the largest and most respect
able in character that has been held in this city,
b; any party, in this or preceding campaigns.
LONG BEFORE O'CLOCK,
4he hour set for the meeting to begin, citizens
AEathered from all quarters Of the cty and early
corners tool, their choice OF seats on tile side
walks orrailingz, of atandng-room on thestreef
There were none of lie usual accessories OF po-
.atical meeting, no torch~.ights: no professions,
no organized bodies OF any kind, nothing but
spontaneous outpou1ing OF citizens Thr needed
sno Fictitious aids to awaken their enthusiasm, Or
i. xstreugthen their faith in the sentiments which
they held and cherished. Two stands had
been erected, the main one in front OF the eide
< 4o1 Field e. Letters store, near Madison street,
and the auxiliary one on the opposite side OF
4he square, not far from the corner OF Washing
ton street. Numerous gasoline jets illuminated

Goyernor-elect of Indiana the great Hoosier,"
Ra he is styled in his own State,-and the Hon.
~ }aA1, 4i,a c{o ofa
'>of Ohio. The crowd did not know what to do;
they we're anxious to listen to both the distin-
,8uished gentlemen, which would be physical
,fmpossibility, if they spoke at the same time
from different standz. The difficulty was settled
-by & happy decision OF the managers to have
them follow each other from the main stand
This was soon understood, and the crowd con-
®ated around the platform, standing as close
rs flowers in q bouquet. From the stand could
.be seen thousands Of earnest upturned faces,
watching those fortunate enough to have found
ssoom the broad platform, expecting every
enonent to see the speakers come to the front.

sand who could not get On the stand, that being
q moderate estimate of the number who stood
and listened throughout with admirable atten-
<t:on. It was quick and intelligent audience,
swift to zee point and ready to reward it With
cheers and applause.
