THE Republican meeting mere last
night was as grand dzzle as has been
here for years. Alter advertising in the
newspapers and with flaming posters
pasted up in all parts of the city and
surrounding country, for weeks ahead,
and two bands hired last night, the whole
thing can be set down as gigantic fail
ure. In ordor to make the meeting look
like large one, they took the chairs out
Of City Hall and placed them on the
pavement, but at the same time the num-
Der of men and boys present could have
been comfortably seated in any hall
in the city and all the attentive
listeners would not number over one
hundred men and women. The number
estimated of Republicans, Democrats,
women and children was from one hun
drcd and fifty to two hundred. The
speech Of Ex-Governor Hayes was just
what we had predicted it would be,
long and loud harangue about the late
war and an evasion of the leading living
issues of the day that are now demanding
the earnest attention of the people of our
parayZrd and distracted country. The
whole thing was drag, and not one
sound of applause greeted the speakers
ear during the hour We listened 10 him
addressing the corpse. The Repub-
lIcuus seemed to be out of sorts,
and looked as though they
dare not even hope for success.
Many Of them sat with downcaSt looks
with their visages elongated to q most
fright.ul extent, and We imagined we
could hear them say, Oh! coons, Oh,
oppoSsums, Oh, corn dodgers, is this the
weak little lump Of humanity we are
asked 10 put forth. our energies to elect
Governor of the State of Ohio, but be-
tore any one was aware of it, he took
his seat and death like stiffness hung
around the faithful when we left. Ii
the meeting here Is any indication Of
the feeling throughout the State, Hon.
William Allen will rise up in October
next, to the tune Of about fifty thousand
majority.
