| attended Republican III Getting last evening
Al Gold Run. The meeting was respectable
to numbers, but to say it was enthusiastic or at
tentiveto the speakers would be an error. The
first speaker was Mr.. Power, Republican candi-
date for the Senate. lie was introduced to the
audience 10y the Chairman as our present Senator
anl can ll,llte for rejection | expected MIR.
Power would have corrected this error, but he
see med not to notice it, being about much
emb srrassed the verdant Chairman. Mr..
Power spoke about an hour his audience grow
ing less from the beginning TO the end of his
speech, and never giving word OF applause or
cheer except when the speaker remarked: that
he had never seen fhe town Of Grass Valley.
Whereupon about half dozen persons cheered.
Your readers may not be able to see why man
should be cheered tor not having seen the town
of Grass Valley; and must say that am not
able to tell them; / only know the 7, mark did
elct cheers. j, NJ. Fulweier was the next
SPEAKER, ard what have said of the first may
b. said of him, an of all the speakers, to the
nattention and total absence of enthusiasm Ill
The audience. Thus the meeting dragged, the
deadest of all dead things of the kind that
have ever attended, till the speaking closed.
DR.. n. Martin. our talented and popular can
lidate for the Senate, was present and was now
loudly and repeatedly called, and finding that
those whose meeting it was, had no oh .ection,
he took the stand and greeted with thre,
rous ng cheers, which mnst have sent a thilli ..
disgust and dismay to the hearts of fhe line
candidates. The Doctor spoke for half an hour,
which showed that he had the right medicine Ill
store for the patient and knew how to admin
lister it. The speaker was repeatedly greeted
with applause and cheers throughout his
speech.
Mr. Fulweler now returned to the stand, and
his friends feeling stung at the warm reception
gwen to DR.. Martin ut their meet ng. tried to
offset it by cheering and applauding M. Full
