HANOVER.
The great day has come and gone
aud now while We are resting on
our oars, We eau take a brief review
Of the doimgs Of the last week Of
the campaign IN this vicinity.
Wednesday evening Nov. Lat Col
A. o. brewster of BOstoM spoke b..
fore u large aud enthusiastic audi.
rnce IN the College Church. Mr.
brewster has spent the lMst twO
months in stumping for Tilden and
tlen,lri. ks.
His chief points of discussion
were over taxation and over pro
auction. In many respects his
speech was excellent, but ~ u whole
it failed to come up to the exl'ecta,
tons Of his party hero IN Hanover.
Friday evening Nov. 81 the Ke.
publicaMs had their last grand raj.
" "f the campaign. COl. Joyce ~
Vermont was the chief speaker Of
the evening.
@Nlr. Patterson of this place made
u short speech before Introducing
the speaker. Ills remarks were
confined to u few statements made
by Mr.. Brewster In regard to over
taxation.
Mr.. Joyce npon taking the floor
con. mence,l his speech by ,len0umc.
ing in the roundrst terms the Dem
cratic party. Ills manner and Ian.

that Of the speaker Oh Wednesday

Der of Republicans from Lebanon
and other towns in the neigl,,ur.
hood were present. - Tho welI.dri.l
ell and uniformed bmttali,ns from
Lebanon made ~ very imposing
show in the procession.
llough's Band furnished music
for the occasion.
Monday evening Of this week
Prof. j. X. Lord Of the College,
closed the political speaking OF the
campaign by addressing the Demo.
Gratis in the College, Chapel.
His speech was entirely free from
personal abuse of candidates, and
from the Wholesale condemnation Of
parties that has particularly mark
I'll the arguments Of some of Uul
speakers.
1t may he said that stump.speaL
ing ~ no business for a college pro

have listened to Prof. Lord. with.

gard to the position euery man sllo',l
