LARGE REPUBLICAN MEETING AT sHERRARD.
One of the largest and most Inn
posing demonstrations Of the campaign in

desired for an outdoor meeting-beautiful
aud a balmy atmosphere-and
the people gathered from far and
near 10 attend the meeting. They came
In spring wagons, in bnggies, and on
horseback aud aioot, and by seven O'Clock
au audience, such as WAS never seen at q
night political meeting in that part Of
county, had assembled. The Ex-
celsior brass band from the Mt. 0livet
and drum corps belonging
to the Sherrard Garfield and Arthur Club,
enlivened the occasion by their inspiring
music, and many OF the patriotic and en-
ladies OF that region graced the
large assemblage with their presence.
Prior TO the meeting pole had been
raised-a beautiful, tall and shapely poplar
pole, with Garfield and Arthur streamer
at It's peak and q magnificent National
flag below it-and 1t was pleasant sight
TO look upon as 1t stood high and clear
over all in the beautiful moonlight. A
commodious speakers stand had been
erected, OH which sat a number oil the
leading Republicans Of the neighborhood.
The Garfield Club paraded in their hand.
some uniforms, headed by their bands oil
music, and altogether the scene was most
attractive and inspiring. The speakers
Of the evening were A. W. Campbell, oil
Wheeling, and Messrs. HootOn and Wayt,
OF Marshall county. The speaking lasted
from Z until hali.past 0 o'clock, when the
meeting broke up with great enthusiasm
and with hearty cheers over the news
from Maine and for the Republican ticket.
Mr. Campbell read the dispatch from
Blaine which appears in our columns to-
day, and 1t was greeted with great hurrah'
ing and rapturous delight. Blaine q name
moves the hearts Of the people wherever
and whenever it is mentioned, and no
where more so than in old Marshall. Alto
gether the meeting was a grand success
and Sherrard will roll up telling vote FOL
the national and State ticket.
Before Mr.. Campbell left the stand be
was presented with magnificent bouquet
gotten up with exquisite taste, the work
