that he will waive his preference for q
civilian for the office of President.
Cigar merchant Deering was solicited
to 90 up into Milford and get up boom
for the ratification meeting. Banker
Parker was placid in his smiles over
the demonstration of the erring bre;h-
rem as if attending a socisl gathering.
Epumerator Watt felt as positise Of
the success of Hancock as of any event
in his life before. Lawyer Parker
moved around as if the whole business
is joke, that he will shout for Han
cock, when but few years ago he was
Of the firm opinion that the General
and all tine boys IN blue we're the mer-
cenary troops of Abe Lincoln. He
looked as if would like to boom up the
record of Hancock, and boom down the
record of Garfield. Enumerstor Jen-
kins felt jubilant, but be could not be
induced to 90 to Milford to get recruits
for the meeting. Liquor merchant Mo
ger was feeling so elated that he could
not help expressing the belief that the
man who says that Hsncock swears like
Turk should be banged forthwith.
Editor Jsckman was stunned into 81
lence, but whether from joy, disap-
pointmept, fright, or what, no one
could tell. Merchant Weakly was re-
joiced, and bis face beamed the delight
of his heart. DR.. Banks said nothing,
only once in while calculated, "Good +!

non -committal. The only dampening
episode on Main street was that which

When the dusk of evening began to
fall, the Band was brought out, and was
sent around to inspire the multitude,
and after traversing the streets, and
after a tour to Patterson, i; led the
crowd to the Court House yard, where
the meeting was held. Nearly all the
boys in town were there. A number OF
men we're there. Editor Jackmar called
the meeting to order and announced
E. 8. Doty, Esq, Sr., as President.
Mr.. Doty, on taking the chair, delivered
a speech. Mr.. Doty always makes O
good speech. If his lot bad been cast
in . city, or great business place, where
men of wealth often give dinners to
each other, he would have become one
of the best of after. dinner speech
makers. His speech was just the
kind of a speech that President of a
Democratic meeting may make. he
swallowed the soldier, Hancock, with
out grimmace, and expressed himself
satisfied with the work Of the Cincin-
natl Convention, and was full Of ex-
pressions of hope for the restoration
of the Democratic party to power.
Having delivered his speech, he ex-
