REPUBLICAN MEETING.-Hon. J. F.
OgleVee gave US fair and impartial his
tory of the two great parties. A history
that the mass of the audience had pass
ed through, and no one can deny. How
can the young voter, after hearing the
history of these parties as given by Mr..
Oglevee. put on the Democratic harness
and vote for Hancock and the Solid
South. The meeting was very large, the
Hall being too small to accommodate the
people. The meeting was a success.
