Republican Rally at Morgan
Notwithstanding the drizzling charac :
ter of the weather in the morning OF
Tuesday, the turn out at Morgan was a
proud one in numbers and politically re-
freshing in the evidences afforded of the
earnestness and enthusiasm of the peo-
pie. 1t was a most important demonstra
ton and its influence will tell in the re-
suit of the campaign. Ths first thing
that took the eye at the centre of the
village was approached, was the grace
fully pendant fag-to be given to the
largest delegation-hanging over the
streets at the Corners. 1t was large
one, of regular bunting, and very de-
sirable possession for the Republicans OF
any township. The new fountain was
playing in all its beauty. the margin dec
GRATED with flowers.
The morning hour had considerably
advanced before the delegations began
TO come in, though single carriages were
constantly arriving. The Rome process
sion made its appearance from the south
frst-led by its martial band, and nu M
bering in vehicles of various kinds about
20. The actual number of tn e people was
1884, This was thought TO be pretty for
midable affair. but before the end could
reach the centre of the village, the Lenox
delegation, led by the fine music of
Kings Cornet Band, appeared from the
east. Following the band were two six
horse teams and a number of two and
four horse. The number of various kinds
of vehicles was between eighty and nine
ty according to various counters. The
delegation numbered COL. In this pro-
cession were various devices and mot
loes-among them pair of inflated rep
resentatives ofDemocracy, whose breadth
of beam and righteousness OF costume
and carriage were too muchIfor the graV
lty of the crowd, and they were greeted
with general yell.
Our Orwell friends came in next, pro.
vided with drum and fife band. The
procession was very fine one, though
not very lengthy. owning to the rain
that was falling about the time of start
ing-this deferred many from joining in
the column Part of the train was made
up of a cavalcade of mounted men carry
ing stats headed with spears and small
flags Beside this. one load was made
up of young ladies, in white, each repre-
senting and bearing the name of one of
the States. In the procession was some
twenty five or thirty vehicles, and like
number failed to take their places.
All drove TO the school grounds, where
seats had been provided and a beautiful
" dressed stand fitted up, with the words
standing out in front and over the speak
ers' heads-"Welcom to all"
Along towards noon, the people being
generally upon the ground, the speaking
began by the introduction of Sen ator
Wade, who with much Of the fire of his
earlier days, riveted the attention of the
grea mass of people for about two hours
His comparison of parties and their
easiness, was not favorable to democra-
cy. We did not hear the whole of his
practices, but understood that State as
well as general issues received attention.
He was followed by Senator Sherman
principally in regard to finance and taxa
ton. He took up Gov. Aliens arguments
and showed their falsity and futility. He
went over the whole range of campaign
issues, and acquitted himself with his ac-
customed ability and force He also oc-
cupied about two hours.
Mr.. Furay, young gentleman connect
ed with the Cincinnati Gazette, was then
introduced. As he was at home on State
matters, his speech was devoted to show
ing up the two parties in their counec-
ton with Stale policy. During the short
time left US before train time, this young
gentleman showed himself not only
very agreeable speaker, hui much more
than usually furnished with the history
of parties in the State He must have
people were deeply interested is evident
from the fact that they patiently listened
TO this consideration and discussion of
political questions for five hours.
The flag was to be formally presented
to the Lenox delegation at the conclu-
sion of the speeches, that township hay
ing far out numbered any other in its con-
tribution of attendance.
Much amusement was produced by q
mounted company in masks and fancy
costumes, gotten up In town. The mer-
riment they caused was not a little bois-
ferrous wherever they appeared All hon
