German element was on hand In full force.
They had two mammoth wagons respective

position upon the stand and gave several
songs, both in German and English.
A telling speech was made from the
stand by young man from Ravenna. Be.

was literally jammed with an earnest and
shouting humanity. Despite the frowning
clouds in the morning, the gathering was
estimated at from ten to twelve thousand.
When the hour of one arrived, acres of peo.

CONNRAUT.
Kingsville, Sept. 26. 1875.


Eds. Tei.-The first rally of the season
was had on Thursday last, on the occasion
of the visit of Senator Edmunds to Con-
neaut. He addressed an audience of four
or five hundred in Cleveland's Hall, and
for two hours ne held; the audience as if
spell-bound by the interest and eloquence
of his remarks The address was free from
the sarcasm and cant so prevalent with
stump speakers, but sbOunded with telling
facts and illustrations, that frequently eEc-
tied great applsuse-arousing new interest
among his hearers, and opening the cam
paign so effectually that from this time to
the closing of the polls on the second Tues
day of October no idlers will be found
among the Republicans Of Conneaut.
If anything was needed to assure the
great victory awaiting the Republicans,
such doubts would have been entirely re-
moved on witnessing the mighty gathering
of the people at Warren on Saturday last.
1t was an ovation long to be remembered,
and it may be safely asserted that more
intelligent and enthusiastic audience never
assembled in that sprightly and freedom
loving capitol Of old Trumbull. They did
not wait to come single, and by twOs, but
by hundreds and tens of hundreds, until
the public square and the streets fronting
thereon, were literally alive with the
masses. Tt carried one back to the days Of
1910, when the people went marching
on" Republicans went away delighted
with the speech of Senator Blaine, and
when he appealed to them to bring out
every voter at the October election, deaf
ening applause of assurance rent the air
that northeastern Ohio would do her full
duty in sending greeting to the gallant
Republicans of Maine and Vermont.
A most sad and fatal accident befell Mr..
Chas. C. Gibson, farmer, residing in the
south part of this township, on Thursday
last. He had just returned home from
town, and on driving his team into the
shed, or barn, the beam overhead struck
him and crushed his head and breast be-
tween that and the box of his express car
rage, in which condition he was found
few moments afterwards. He died from
the injuries ..on Saturday evening, aged
about Sc years.
The death of Henry C. Appleby, which
occurred on Saturday evening last, is keen
ly felt by the citizens of COnneaut, and his
loss greatly deplored. He was the young
est son of Capt C. W. Appleby, in the
SD year of his age, and was greatly es-
teemed for his genial and enterprising
qualities. How apt the expression, that
death loves shining mark"
The guns at the Republican ovation in
Ashtabula on Monday afternoon, were
heard distinctly at this distance.

Denecta1ic Meeting.

en- address from P. q. Watson, ESQ
though the weather was drizzly and wet
was well attended. The house was hlled to
nearly its utmost capacity, though proba-
bly, one-half or more we're Republicans.
There was evidently much pleasure felt
over 50 conspicuous an accession to the
ranks Of the Democracy, as the speaker. It
was quite apparent that be was the man Of
the hopr-the lion Of the evening, and ex-
pectstion was on tiptoe. Supposing that
the ordinary courtesy would be paid to him

the small fry on the stage first and that
the heavier metal would be held IN resorve
for the closing up, we in common with
many others, we're q little late In our en-.
trance, and therefore, lost the opening
The first that fell upon our ears was bit
Ter invectiye against those who were-as it
was charged-hurling "slHk-pots" at the
Democratic candidate. The gentleman
who was thus DETAINED and abused, It was
affirmed, was not only not obnoxious to
the numerous charges that have followed
him through the campaign without contra
diction, but that to the personal knowledge
OF the speakeE-he was a pure, patriotic,
and high-minded gentlsman-and reform
er, we suppose-ss he claims to be. Re-
publicalis had 10 bear the entire odilm of
odorizing the person and character of Mr..
Tilden, and the fact that the Democratic
papers were the first to heap these damag-
ing charges upon the Democratic candidate
was wholly ignored. The fact is one OF the
Plainest ones Of the campaign, that more
articles, perhaps, of the bitterest and most
seathing denunciation Of Mr.. Tilden have
appeared in some of the Democratic Jour
nails than have found their wav into the
Republican journals, up to certain stage
Of the campaign. The texts, therefore for
most of these alleged ISLANDERS, were fur
nishe1 us ready prepared. Thus, much Of
the invective that Mr.. Watson laid at the
door Of the Republicans was misplaced
and waste Of ammunition. That this Is
not a bald assertion, we might refer the
reader to the columns Of the leading Demo-
eratic paper Of this State-the Cincinnati

had to do. He traced him as to the greal
loyal demonstration movement in New
York, as to his notorious sufferance Of the
frauds complained Of in the Greeley letter,
and so on down through his sinuOus and
checkered way to the present. This was
done with his Characteristic ability. His
time was one hour and half.
Garfeld's time became somewhat limit
ed. He contented himself with saying that
when the war-eloud arose upon the horizon
in 1861, and enshrouded in gloom the
whole land, there was genius Of good that
took possession of many loyal hearts. He
himself felt, that surely, out of it all light
would come, sooner or later. At this time,
the somewhat divine assurance was felt as
before, that deliverance would come.
The fact was brought out, that while
Tilden was at Chicago with Vsllandigham,
resolving that the war was failure, Hayes
was leading on his command to victory.
The crowd hung upon his lips with the
closest attention, and when he closed, the
welkin rang with cheers. Peace and order
reigned throughout.
Beside the entertainment of the speaking,
your correspondent had a greeting with
many Portage Co. friends, and residents Of
Warren, who were all fully paid for the
visit.

The Silver question viii he discussed
in a speech by Theo. Hall, at the Opera
House, on Saturday evening next.
The great meeting at Warren, is no
ticed in our Kingsville and Conneaut cor
respondence-the writers Of both having
been present at that proud demonstration.
We learn from Mr. J. BudlOng that a
meeting of the parties to the indictment of
Judge Garfield, was held at Chardon, on
Tuesday last, at which mutual agreement
was arrived at to abandon the case, and
as soon as the preliminary steps can be pass
ed through, u nOEle viii be entered.
There are serious complaints of the
miserable slipshod manner of the getting
up Of the late report of the Secretary Of
State. Its statistics are not worthy Of the
least reliance. The blunders are Of the
grossest kind, and they go to raise the idea
that the mind that prepared and arranged
them. was muddled with whisky-an idea
strengthened by the well known habits
Of its author. Bell, who is the father OF
the laundering mass, is the Democratic
candidate for reelection to the same Office.

The Anti-Garfeld meeting on Tuesday
evening drew together good house; as all
rarties gathered to hear the PaInesville
mslcontents. We were not present, but
hear that the denounciations were very
bitter. A friend who was present, alludes
to the probable effect OF the efforts of these
gentlemen-as given in another place
will be only to make his friends the more
determined to support our able representa-
tive. The character of one Of the brace Of
gentlemen, by recent Developments, quail
fies him for the work he is engaged in. The
manifestation of great zeal in maligning
others, not unfrequently is but the dodge
to cover up or turn attention from obliqui-
ties and Irregularities at home.

Some tribulation attended the Republi-
cans in reference to this meeting. The
morning was wet and unprOpitiOus and
not until near noon could it De decided to
go into the park But the sun then smiled
out in beauty and genial warmth. When
this was all settled, a telegram came from
the train, down this side of Struther's station
that the track had been jumped and Gar
field could not reach Ashtabula before 3
o'clock. The down train reached the
wreck and the passengers were transferred,
and the speaker arrived between and 4.
He was conducted directly to the stand,
and after a tune from the band and the
KingsTille drum corps, and salute from
the artillery, Mr.. Garfield began his speech.
For some two hours the attention of the
audience was fixed in the closest manner
upon the speaker, bursting out frequently
with bolsterOus applause. He paid his re-
spects first to the silver question, and dis
posed of it for the present, and for the
campaign, very satisfactory. Congress had
admitted its incompetency to cope with the
subject, and had placed the matter in the
hands Of the ablest committee that could
be selected, to examine and report what in
their opinion, could be done. And Congress
is waiting for their action at the coming
session. It was not a question that any
one government could handle. The expe-
rienee of our own, corroborated by that Of
several of the great governments Of Eu-
rope, was conclusive upon this fact. The
fnetuation of amount and consequent val
ue of silver pointed to the necessity of a
concert of action among the great powers
of the earth. The fixing Of a standard val
ue under these circumstances, would be
disastrous to the government adopting
such standard in carrying on international
trade with such nations as had redundan-
cy and the price of which was depressed
This was made 50 plain that it met hearty
approval.
The sham issues of the campaign were
then shown. The blinds and deceptions of
the Democratic party were stripped away
and the real, vital issue steadily in view Of
the Democracy is to carry the election, gain
control of the government, and secure to
the rebels of the Sooth and their Northern
obsequious servitors, that which they failed
to wrest from US by the sword. The speech
was most able one, combining the beauty
Of the elocutionist and the soundness and
clearness Of the statesman. There was no
sophistry about it, no tricks of the politi-
clan to fire the heart OF the people. The
plain facts wee somber enough and impor-
tant enough to reach the convictions of the
well informed, honest patriot. The honest
purpose was formed by the crowd to relax
not an effort, but to do the whole duty Of
loyal citizens up to and at the election. No
one wields the power over this people that
Mr. Garfield does. They come out in their
strength, too, as on this occasion, whenever
he speaks. The number present was prob
ably 2, 500 or 5000. Ashtabula viii DO her
duty.

Ifthe enemy of mankind were permitted to
exert his diabolical ingenuity to the inven-
