A Graad Republican Tsrch-LlgAt
Procession - WOODBURY. and
Lindsay Address an I'm.
nense Audience.

The most enoctlvo demonstration
OF tho campaign thus far in this
county took place on Saturday even
ing. Tho Hon. William Woodburn
IVES announced to address the people,
and every one felt sure that what he
might have to say would be instruc-
tive, Is he has been in the
House Of Representatives during
oil the disrsputsble career Of
the Confederate Congress. The
humor and off-hand style Of Bob
Lindsay vas not without its indu-
ence 10 attracting large crowd. Ac-
cordingly, at the hour for starting the
procession from Silver, a large crowd
assembled on Main street and awaited
opportunities to ride down to the
town by the river. Every available
vehicle was pressed into service. and
all departed with loads that sug-
Gcsted possible breakdowns on the
soad. Among those who thus gave
evidence of their loyalty to the great
political party were several ladies. A
band Of musicians took the lie I'd in a
four-h,rsc r,ckswsy, and furnished
delightful music at briet intervals to
those who followed. Many were un-
able to get seats in the convevances
provided or to procure means OF
travel of their own, and were CON-
PEELED to remain at home. The Vir-
Rinia Chroa,cle can display ITS lead
ing quality by saying in its next
issue that no one went down from
Silver at all.
A roRcHLIOHr PROCESSION.
Arriving 1t the toll house. about
half mile this side Of Dayton. the
coaches drew up aad all siighted.
About one hundred torches had been
provided and were in readiness. All

nrctei presence astonishing the peo-
pie. The procession Was about half
a mile long, aud marched through
the priaciptl streets tn the court
house. rae lire Of march WAS
marked by brilliant bnadres, and
was ined with people who had
slready assansled from outrl aad
a.ighbnring settlements.
The fact that torchlight pro-
cessioa was camia, down from Sill

enliven the seeae, VAS not preached
t. the citizans nf Dayton at all.

ray of ligats was seca marching

II WA unfortunate that q more
commodious place than the court
house could not have been secured
for the delivery ut the speeches.
Although its capacity (or the Dis
&rict Court roam'sl Was equal to an
emergency Of four or Ave hundred,
not more thaa half of those present
could fnd sitting or standing room
within ear-shot Of the speakers.

Alter converting at tn . court
house, the assemblage was called to
order by W. r. King, Chairman Of
the Central Committee, aud L. L.
Crockett was elected President. The
President lost no time in Introducing
the speaker, who in return lost no
time in getting into the heart of his
subject. Mr.. Woodburn said that
he would not endeAvor to entertain
che audience with waving Of the
ensanguined garment. He would
c,uflne himself entirely to period
within the present year, aud would
show the audience the danger Of 4
Democratic restoration. illustrating
the picture with the record of the
Democracy in the House while no
was there and while there every act
was under his own personal observa-
ton. He WAS convinced that if
citizens knew tho conduct Of the
C,ufedesate House - he knew 1t or
IS anyone might know it who was
there to take note, they would not
allow the control Of affairs 10 fall
into the hands Of tho Dem ocrstic
party. II would he exceedingly

sham. He spoke from the record.
aud 40 Democratic crater or news
paper could successfully deny his
allegations.
NJ. Woodburn made some telling
points against the Democrats that
ought TO DO kept before the people.
We ahould like to print his whole
speech, bat lack 81 room prevents
any such attempt, As showing
The disposition Of the southern
wing Of the Democracy TO rule
within themaelves. the fact was
cited that Speaker Kerr (now
