For weeks our Democratic friends had
advestised the grand rally of the cam
paign at Jackson on the 1st of this month,
Days were spent preparing banners. mot
toes, etc. The band was got out, with
orders to meet and escort the delegations
| into town. But no delegations came.
About eleven o'clock some four or five
wagons came in from Jackson township,
and paraded the streets for half an hour.
The procession" contained II men who
appeared to be voters. The whole affair
was fiat failure, and the Democrats were
Inundated and disgusted. They had lied
about speakers, but as the Democratic
party is party of false pretenses. they
thought this would make no difference.
AT o'clock the grand pageant started
for the Fair Ground. 1t fhe pageant)
consisted of the band-wagon, followed by
one buggy, and TWO BOYS on horseback.
Mr.. Hutchins engaged in a terrible, hui
initiating struggle with his record, morti-
flying his friends and disgusting his oppo-
nents. He explained his votes against
the colored race, and against war mea-
ny OIO ldCDC1 CACi oooCl-
ti0n that those measures were introduc-
ed by SOME FELLOW, who did not know
what he really did want" Mr.. Hutchins
did not want to save the Union or befriend
the colored race, because "some fellow"
was in favor of such measures! We have
a5oy six years old, and if he should ever
make such an explanation, about any
matter, as did Mr.. Hutchins, he never
possessed pair of trousers of sufficient
thickness to protect his person from the
effect of our righteous Indignation. Pos
sibly Hutchins would have done better,
had there been anybody there to hear
him.
10. GEIGER OUTDoNE!
The richest public exhibition ever CIV
en- in Jackson was given by the Democ-
racy Friday evening. They brought a
scare-crow, that called itself "Col. Coch-
rane," on the 2 :35 train. They took it to
the Fair Ground, where it got up and
made an indecent and absolutely idiotic
personal attack on Gen. Garfield. Every
Democrat who heard it, knew it lied, it
knew it itself-but this seemed to have the
idiotically. At the Court House in the
evening, it opened it's valve and discharg-
ed another dose of hOg-wash. 1t was out
horseback riding next day when the
small boys hooted at it, thinking it was
stuffed advertisement of some travelling |
show. 1t ought to have lied, for its very |
form is libel upon creation. We are |
told that the all-wise made man after His |
own image. With regard to this garru-
Gus old scare-crow, we don't believe it, at |
al. Nothing like it was ever seen in
Jackson, and we defy Forepaugh to equal
it. One thing is settled-the Democrats
will never say anything disrespectful of
Toe Geiger or the Buckeye Blacksmith
gain.
The Democrats had one banner hung
over the street, having upon it the an
that cas- Maine goes, so goes
;he Union" AS there was not Demo
,rat elected to anything in Maine, the
MOTTO was suggestive of Garfield's victory.
Don't talk to the Democrats about this
Meeting for few days-they're out of
lumor. At the time we were at the
Fair Ground, Mr.. Hutchins was address,
ng about $50 persons. We could not find
! Democrat of sufficient composure to
rive US an estimate of the crowd-in fact,
most of the crowd were not there.
