Mr. NORRIS ADDRESSED THE MEETING
at some length on the situation. He said the
purpose of the gathering was 10 hear the re-
suits of the most important and exciting
election ever held in this country. He did
lot himself attach the same degree OF i'm
party struggle, but should 1t go i'm accord
snce with their wishes and hopes IL would
encourage the cause when the next and more
important election cOmes-that for the chief
executive officer. A band OF music had been
procured to enliven the occasion, let the re-.
suit be as IL might. Ii the news should be
play a dirge. 1t was the bloatei bondholders
who are clamoring for a specie currency.
The labor1ng men are wise enough to oppose
,nls, because they can see that the effect
holders richer. If the democratic party are
successful in this struggle IL will be encour-
aging TO every industry In the country. Zap

sPFECH OF HOPEFUL CONVERT.
Mr.. Minnix nominated Col. +. A. Tyler for
mem bership, and he was elected. Col: Tyler
was then introduced and said he bad been
more of a writer than speaker. He had
been an old line wing IN the past, but he
row stood with the democrats on the ground
OF principle, as Ii was the only party which
has any principle LETT I'm ii. In Ohio is pro-
crossing great public struggle, which
though Ii may fail of success, will in the end
lead the democracy to certain victory. ZAP
plause) In two years from 1872 10 1874. there
had been a change of a million and quar-
ter of votes, and in 1876 the democrats will
have 20 votes in the electoral college
against 10,
JUDGE MOORE
was the next speaker and said the first and
greatest object Of the democracy now is to cir
cumscribe the powers of the executive with
10 Its constitutional limits and clean corrup-
ton out of the public departments. We can
not return TO sspecie payment-there Is not
gold and silver enough in the universe 10
substitute for the rag-mOney thrown upon
the country by the Treasury department and
the hundreds of national banks. Before tai
ing his seat the speaker remarsed To the
chair that the news seemed to be rather slow
in coming in.
The chair reminded Judge Moore that
no NEWS WAS GOOD NEWS,
as the telegraph wires are in the custody OF
the enemy.
r. s. Davis was called for, and said the
time for speech-making had passed. They
were now awaiting the results of the efforts
OF the democracy in Ohio, and there was not
community In the land more interested in
the results OF the elections than ours, which
had been ruled and robbed by one of the
most corrupt ring governments ever known
to history. The Shepherd ring had ruined
this community, az had the Pacific mail
ring, credit mobilier ring, subsidy ring, and
the numerous other great radical rings,
ruined the country at large.
Rev. G. w. Dennison was the next speaker,
and spoke about "the corrupt republican al
mini, ration" and the prospects of the re-
turn of public honesty, industry and har-
mony, with the return OF democratic rule.
The speaking closed at about $50 O'Clock
whenfthe crowd became
SOMEWHAT INPATIENT
at the non-appearance of dispatches. Occa-
sionally the band would enliven the mOnOt-
ony, and about 10 O'Clock Mr.. II. s. Davis
read dispatch received by Gen. BoyntOn
from Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Ga
publican gains for Hayes, and that the Indi-
cations were that they had carried Hamilton
county. This had
A DEPRESSING EFFECT,
and the cry was raised OF "bogus dispatch, -
"a lie, ""thats too thin," &c.
Mr.. Jesse b. Wilson said he was author
lied to state that it was a bogus dispatch.
Mr.. Davis replied that he only had to say
that II was an exact copy of dispatch re-
ceived by BOynton.
Mr.. Wilson.-'An exact copy OF a hum
bueI"
The crowd began to fall off and collect in
groups about the hail. Dispatches came
pretty regularly. between IL and 1 O'Clock
which did not meet the hopes and expecta-
lions of the crowd, and Dr. c. p. Culver
assured them that they had not got at the
truth Of the matter. DR.. Charles Allen, who
was In the CITY OF columbus, mad not yet
been heard from. He had been canvassing
the state, and would send them information
at the earliest possible moment when 1t
could be obtained, and which they could RELY
upon.
DIR. ALLEN SETTLED IT.
Soon afterwards a dispatch was received
from DIR. Allen, stating that the appearances
indicated a general republican gain. This
seemed TO clinch the thing, and many left
the hall for other places to CLEAN some
crumbs Of comfort Most OF the unterrihed
remained and listened in gloomy silence to
the dispatches as they came. Several times
during their reception, when a democratic
gain was announced, cheers were given for
Governor Allen, but they lacked the spirit of
the old time democratic cheers. During the
evening Col. Tyler offered
A SERIES OF RESOLUTIONS,
which were read and unanimously adopted:
THAT If the election in Ohio goes republican
We shall regard it as no Indication of the
result of the next Presidential contest, be-
Eeving, as We do, that the national banks,
bOndhOlding and ring and monopoly inter-
ests are largely represented in the state con-
test by money influence; that defeat In Ohio
on the so-called question of imitation will not
indicate that the people of that state favor
the present corrupt administration; that we
have strong assurance that Ohio will give a
majority to t e nominee of the next demo-
cratic convention for the Presidency"
