WELCOME HoME-sPEECHEs By JULIAN
AND GENERAL MANSON.
Especial Correspondence of the Sentlnel.l
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Sept. 2.-To day
has been a field day for the Democracy OF
Montgomery county. Although it was
not generally known That George w.
Julian would be here to address
the people, ne was greeted by an assem-
blsge OF fifteen hundred voters. He began
speaking at two o'clock and held his
hearers in rapt accord with him for
nearly two hours. The meeting was
held in a noble grove in
the Elston Park, and although
Mr.. Julian seemed in frail health, and his
voice broken from much speaking, so
carefully sn0 heedfuily did the vast multi
tude wait upon ard follow bis every
thought, that every word spoken reached
the ears of the outmost listener. IL is use
less to attempt a description OF Julian's
speech. Having heard him once in this
canvass, your imagination will serve you
better thsn any mere pen picture. He fol-
lowed the trail OF the war governor, and
wherever the lash of bis mstchless sarcasm
fell, the Topped blossoms of Morton's
bossted record were whipped snd drsegled
In the dust. Nothing can exceed Julisn's
power of ridfcule. Men can face a battery
of blazing cannon who can not en-
dure. the torture of general
laugh at their expense. Many Repub-
hcsns who would sit uDfiinchingly
under the ste ady torrent Of Julian's
eloquent srraigDmeDts, writhed and
WINGED when the frighJful color of their
hidden record was held so close to their
eyes that they could not dare dispute Its
verify. He does not strike q listener as
though he were painting picture OF the
shameful corrBprion of the party, bur
hal k..d crff f1ar and nJx-
hibitiDg the Cresd nj original. He does
not discribt-he reveals. 1t is needless
to say that bis speech was veil received
We know that it rss Done its work, and its
effect will be felt in the day sat for trial In
October.
OUR OLD WAR HORSE.
Before dark the people began assembling
In the streets about the court house. where
a stand had been erected, and by O'Clock
1t looked ss though the great Hendricks
rally of 1872 wss TO be repeated. Such
meeting is inde- cribsble. Tne TildeD
and Hendricks Guards to the number OF
800, bearing lamps under command OF
Major Frank E'sioo, ptrsded the streets
with the Nom gOmery Qua ds' fine band
at their head. A $3.50 hey marched to the
residence of General Manson and conduc-
ted him to the stand. Then there were
shouts and chez rs, the rush of rockets, the
bands and the rosr OF guns, while steady
rain of fire fell from the adjacent build
ings. Nothing like iG has been seen here
for years. IL was an improvised greeting
on the shortest notice, from q grateful
people to loved and hOnored leader. 1t
struck amsZement into the heart of the
men who follow the leading OF gold, bread
cloth and kid gloves, and scoff at blue
Jeans, hard hands and the simple great
ness OF such men as Williams and
Manson. The old war horse looked as
happy a. he did on Ihe day ter the cleo
ticn in 1870, when he marched through
this congressional district, overthrowing
an enormous Republican maj ,ritv and
closing the political history OF Wallace
forever. The affection of the Democracy
In this county for Ibe Id general amounts
almost TO idolstry. In auy race he could
simply carry i5 by storm. We give the
substance OF his D iech, only omitting the
argument On the financial question, which
has appeared in PRINT before:
