Eight TO Ten Thousand Persons Present.
Last Wednesday, as predicted, was the
g.eateatt that has been witnessed in
Anderson County for mary years; and
indeed ia, we believe, generally conceded
TO have been the greatest gathering Of
people ever seen upon any occasion in
the County. 1t was what it should have
been-a fit reflex Of the esteem enter
tainsd by the people of this County for
Governor Hampton, and Of their interest
in and devotion 10 the Democratic party.
At an early hour the crowd began assem-.
bling, and by ten o'clock 1t was simply
immense-and still they came.
