One OF the largest impromptu demon.

closed with such glorious results over the
river, and, 30 far as they have been able,
have from time to time contributed to
swell The throngs that have turned ont to
hear Garfield, Blaine, Gibson, Foster and
other 'stalwarts." During the afternoon
Mr.. Chas. BigClow painted an immense
banner upon which was an eNgle holding

A. Campbell, Of Hancock county, who
said: HFelow Republicans Of Wheel
ing: The Wheeling Register OF this morn
ing contained splendid Republican edi-
toTial. 1t says every citizen has done his
duty in Ohio, and it looks that way.
There psVernWRs such a contest In the
annals OF free eleCtions,' and 1t looks that
way. Quiet. as q .caInpmeeting, good
comnenlary on -thD, Southern shotgun
policy. There is something grand in the
silent majesty Of the ballOt.box. In the
firm but quiet manner in which the mil
lions decide these questions, and in that
decision all men acquiesCG. This is the
moral power of Republican institutions
and education. No difference to what ex-
tent partisan feelings are run, or political
enthusiasm causes, yet on election day it
Subsidies into good sense aDd goad citizen,
tah;p; and the credit OF 80 educating the
American people is due to the great party
whose victory we celebrate tonight.
We had an election in 1860 Us decisive
as this one, but the party that had SO long
been b. boNEet Tetus 10 acquiesCe in the
verdict, and the war that followed was the
result. That war forever settled the ques-
ton Of free elections, and finally that
their results were supreme. This is an
ovation to no man, but to the great princi-
pies for which the contest that has just
closed was carried on.
In 1873 the contest in Ohio was on u
Ipurely negative platform. In 1875, Gar
field Gibson and Stanley Matthews car
ried on the contest on the one hand and
! Pendleton, Allen and others on the other,
and the election OF Hayes was the result.

plicit, 6ne pronounced sksue been Rdvo.
Gated and carried out by the Democratic
party for the last 25 yearsH The financial
policy is settled, free elections are settled,
honest government is settled, our dignity
as q Republic is established, and we are
second TO no power on earth, and 20 years
. OF Republican domination has done this.
The speaker then at great length re.
viewed the war and its causes, the politi.
cal issues that that struggle developed, the
policy Of each party in the last twenty
, years, the situation Of the government as
: compared with 1860, and satisfactorily
demonstrated the superiority OF the new
over the old in the prosperity that we now
enjoy and the prestige Of this country
among the nations OF the earth. nd.
He was frequently interrupted by cheers
and other signs OF appreciation.

is in the city for few days, was intro
