ing called at the Court House. was not large and
far from being enthusiastic. The disappointment
too fresh to get mp hurrah and Of the bow,
preferred wait until it quit hurting Some tried to
laugh it of by saying they going to vote for Peter
Cooper; but all said they would pitch In for HAYES but
wanted to wait till they felt better
However the band played the meeting assem- bIed

Mr. Larzelere said that he had been accused of
being the professional Chairman and must decline or he
might lay himself open to the charge again.
A. Perry was then elected Chairman. Perry was an
original Hayes man. and could give him an enthusiastic
support

stances.
A. Larzelere said he had always been Republican on
national occasions. In County elections he always
served the right to oppose corrupt He should sup
port Hayes
D. Mcintosh said he could not make a speech, but h.
had brought friend from Scotland for whom he 60
ing to get naturalization papers, and make
Hayes vote
Nanny Rsville tried be cheerful hut like boy
with sore mouth trying to laugh. He would 90 for
Hayes but he could be enthusiastic after he got

Heatley said 1t always thus. The popular idols
always sacrificed and comparatively obscure
carried of the prize Such had been the fate of Henry
Clay. But because Henry Clay had the belly thirty
ago the speaker didn't tell why that should
make the people of the present day feel roced have
it.
Over ali hung the cloud Of possibility that Hawley
might be nominated for Presidents the result of
that nomination not known here until Saturday
morning.
But The hurt is fast subsiding and the enthusiasm
for Hayes is rapidly rising
