EUREKA, July 80.
Eureka, as you may imagine, is badly
torn up" over the action of the Green
back convention at Topeka. The con-
quering hero, Gov. Nrooman, reached
home the day following. After land
ing from the train he retired, mOdestly,
to the bosom of his family. After a
sufficient time had elapsed for him to
acquaint his family with the honOrs that
had been bestowed upon him, the pub
lie, assisted by Frank Raymond and
others went to his residence with a
| kansas wagon" mo horses and invited
him to come out and make a speech.
Being at all times and upon all occasions
ready to make a speech, he gracefully
responded and climbed into the wagon
and was hauled by a grateful and apDre-
ciative people down Nam street to the
place where others had already kindled
large bond fire. What grand and
soul inspiring scene was that
march down Main street? What
triumph of brain and Drawn
over injustice" did that triumphal march
indicate How the souls of the freemen
were inspired by the sight of Judge
Vrooman's imposing figure. standing in
that wagon, with his plug hat crushed
| back over his left ear, his right hand
placed upon his heart that was even then
throbbIng over the woes and sufi'erings
of his dear people; in his left hand was
Il cane by which he supported his unsu-
ally erect position. The procession
reached the bonfire, where an Immense
cOncouTsc of people were assembled. He
made speech. just what he said no
body knows. The enthusiasm was so
great, the hearts of the people were 81
full of joy unspcakable that they could
only manage TO cry Time" Stop 'er,"
Give US a rest Hurrah for Hancock
Hurrah far Garfield, Perry Washington

tendency 10 encourage and cheer the
speaker. For an hour that immense
crowd hung upon the lips Of the speaker
with bated breath-relievcd occasionally
with remarks as above-they listened
and all would have been well, had not
some inconsidelatc chap proposed three
cheers for Garfield. The response was So
unanimous that the speaker at once saw
the point, and calling the crowd lot OF
"cayotes," climbed out of the wagon and
returned TO his house, and thus ended
Nrooman's reception. The nomination
of Judge Erooman will necessitate q
change in his card to the public"
