On a banner from Meyersdale
was the following inspiring inscrip-
ton, I'VE vote a solid Republican
ticket in the cause Of American lib
erty." The most suggestive Of them
all, however, was that of the colored
delegation, which bore whole
chapter Of historical rccolloctions,
8 Freed by the hands of the martyr
cd Lincoln. Al these and many
more were in the parade in the
evening, Illuminated by hundreds
of torches. The bands from Meyers
dale, Salisbury, Berlin and Somerset
furnished inspiring music for the
marching Republicans, and as they
came to the court house door and
surrounded the square they present
ed a very enlivening picture.

After an organization was effected
the President introduced
HON. GALUsHA \. GROW,
Of Susquehanna Co., whoopened the
ball by begging pardon for removing
his coat, as he proposed to sweat the
Democratic party and not himself,
and he showed his manly form in
his shirt-sleeves, and did sweat the
Democratic party in such 4 manner
as only the author of the Homestead
act. He showed from the past the
reckless financial policyof the Dem
ocrats. since and before the war, and
their general incompetency to gov
crn in all and at all times. His
speech was convincing and showed
as clearly as the light of day that
the increase Of our prosperity, the
stable condition of the currency, the
grand results of the protective tariff,
were due to Republiranism; that the
Of the citizens Of the re.
public was due to Republican adj
ministration, and that if the honest
ballots could not be counted honest
ly and justly without, he was in IA
vor of counting them. by force. Mr..
Grow closed his speech with IN
elegant tribute TO the former leaders
of the Republican party, aud with
the assurance that on the ID of No
vembcr next the Republican party
will again march to victory, under
the cry ofthe Union, the constitution
and the enforcement OF the laws.
His speech was often interrupted by
.oud and long applause.
:. L. TRENT, ESQ.,
he young and eloquent speaker,
whose talents have been recognized
" the National Committee, and
Who, though quite youthful, is to
tump Ohio and Indiana for Gar
ield and Arthur. Mr. Trent re-
bonded in a brief but eloquent
peech, and closed by thanking the
audience for the unexpected honor
bestowed upon him, as there were
nanv others present whom he had
hought they would much prefer to
lear speak. At the close Of his re-
marks the applause was loud and
ong continued. After order had
,een restored, the following resolu-
ION was offered:

somerset county hereby tender their
