made = few remarks, during which he stated that

party, he believed It to be the party Of princi
pie. He had no doubt that they would hsye from
200 to 40 votes in the next electoral college. The
speaker referred to that part he took in the Har-
rison campaign In 1910, and to the political tide
that then swept over the country; but hisremsrks
on that subject were coolIy received by the old
''dyed-in-the-wool" Democrats present.
He charged the Republican party with buying
up votes In Ohio, forgetting that this was Tueeds
game in.former years, and the only one BY which
the Democratic party ever prospered. In relation

would keep the President, the Administration
and the currency within constitutional bounds.
He spoke Of the "good old times before the

up his hat. After talking himself out Of breath,
and seeing no sign Of the advance guard OF
Brother Norris army Of dispatches that that
gentleman had promised was marching on in the
early part of the evening, the Judge retired.
About this time rumors commenced to reach the
hall from Newspaper row Of heavy Republican
gains, but they were received with such ex-
pressions as "boRus, "false," &c. Things were
getting desperate about Ahis time. X. S. Davis
took the floor, and made one of his characteristic
harangues about rings, robbers, thieves, sc. He
paid his respects to Boss Shepherd" but forgot
to say anything about "Boss Tweed" Matters
looked pretty blue when the Rev q. H. Dennison
gallantly came forward and made an effort TO in
terest the anxious crowd in waiting. Like the
rest Of the speakers, he tried to dsown the ''rsg
baby"
BAD NEWS.
Shortly after the close ofMr. Dennison's speech
Mr.. r. s. Davis entered the hall with copy Of
dispatch received from Richard Smith, editor Of
the Cincinnati Gazette, by General H. V. Boyn-

Republican gains everywhere for Hayes; indi-
cations showing that we have carried Hamilton
county" This brought President Norris to his
feet, who pronounced the dispatch bogus.

news came in 1t was received good naturally by
both the genial president, Mr.. VIM. Dickson, and
those present. There was an entire absence of

only thing left blank being the amount Of Aliens
