a wild and enthusiastic democrat, who had
more targletoot aboard, than brains Jumped
upon the platform and began to wildly ges-
ticulate and give utterance to incoherent
expressions while the crowd yelled Ego il old
man" "thats good Doctor" and MS he was
spreading himself for grand burst of elo-
quence, the gas was suddenly turned off,
when he collapsed, and jumped from the
platform with wild whoop and FASTENED to
the fremont bar to drown his modification
in glass of old democratic whiskey. Sew
eral free fights were iminent, but better
counsels prevailed and the meeting adjourn
ed without any disturbance. Thus the cam
paign was opened. Efforts are being made
by tho Republicans to get up ratification
meeting, endorsing the nominees of the Chi
cago convention. Dispatches have been re-
ceived here from the Rangers of the Rio
Gtande," the inevitable Ochiltree, that he
intends to stump Pennsylvania and New
York for Hancock and English. The Re-
publicans might AS well throw up the sponge
since Ochiltrec has turned against them.
