Justice in the way of describing il.
In the morning large and imposing pro
cession paraded the principal streets and
thoroughfares of the town. This procession
contained At least 1900 persons two brass
bands and six large Glee Clubs, besides
numerous hickory wagons and slx-horse
teams. It was 2 sight to make glad the heart
of any Democrat or lover OF constitutional
liberty
In the afternoon when Mr. Landers began
speaking in the Court House Park there
must have been between eight and ten
thousand people upon the grounds There
were absolutely acres and acres of patriots
gathered together TO do honor to the princi
Piles represented by Mr. Landers as the Demo-
ocratic candidate for Governor OF the great
State of Indiana. Mr.. Landers made one of
his best efforts here, and was rewarded by
meeting the hearty appreciation of his inn
mense audience, and when he concluded
grand ovation was given him by the assem-
bled thousands. Mr.. Landers can shake
more hands in a day than any
splendid mixer After Mr.. Landers
concluded his remarks Hon. A. y. Martin
addressed the people in speech that did
him great credit and the cause much good.
But this did not finish the grand meeting of
the Warrick County Democracy. At night
the town was illuminated and the Court
House Park lighted up and here c0ngre-
gated "a great multitude which no man could
number TO hear more of the gospel
of peace After music by the bands present
and songs by the Glee Clubs. the night
speaking began. Hon. C.. l.. Wedding, of
Evansville spoke first, and made splendid
speech Mr.. Wedding is comparatively q
young man. but he's a good one, and enter
tains and interests an audience like an old
veteran. He was followed by Hon. John ].
Kliener, candidate for Congress from this
District, in a few happy remarks, and the
meeting was closed by short and ringing
speech from Hon. George l.. Reinhard of
RockDort And then the thousands who
had all day long marched TO the music of
Democratic victory dispersed 10 their sew
eral homes, and the bird OF triumph and
success plumed her pinions for her
flight to ROckport. The meeting
was towering success. There never wa
so many people in Boonville at ono time, or
on any occasion as to-day. The Democrats
of Warrick deserve world of praise for the
untiring zeal and indomitable energy
which brought about this magnificent meet
ing. The Chairman of the County Commit
tee. Hon. John Taylor. worked day
and night for nearly two weeks
in getting up the meeting, and
people responded 10 his invitation to come,
you may know that he did not labor in vain.
Mr.. Taylor is a splendid, active, wide-awake
young man. and has the County thoroughly
organized and alive, and will have the
County roll up larger majority than ever
before If all the Counties in the State was
in as good fix as Varrick, the end would be
10000 Democratic majority in October and
$1,000 in November
Glee Clubs are what 1 dote upon and 1
can not close this letter without saying a
word in praise of the splendid appearance
made by the Boonville Club. This Club is
largely composed or ladies, and, as they are
all lovely creatures in the most bewitching
costume imaginable, can not be blamed
for saying that they sang like
angels fresh from the summer
land of song, and so delighted
me that L have made arrangements TO come
back here on the 10th of September, and to
insure a crowd, will bring Hon. Franklin
Ladders and Hon. Albert G.. Porterwith me.
