rapidly on. At every subsequent stop the
same experience was witnessed until
Dauphin was reached. Here q band
and booming cannon gave emphasis to the
enthusiasm, but, notwithstanding this
demonstration, the train moved before the
first tune was completed, and thus the op-
portunity to talk was lost and the people
were disappointed. At Harrisburg Gen
eral Snowden and Colonel Dechert were
sent to York, Chairman Hensel switched
of for Philadelphia and the balance of
the party proceeded to Carlisle.
Little time was consumed in transfer
ring from the Northtrn Central to the
Cumberland Valley road, and tue same
business method that has characterized
the trip from the beginning served to
facilitate matters in this emergency. A
very large crowd of people were assem-
bled at the station, and Elbridge NcCon-
key. Franz BONNER, William ROdearmel,
Charles Rodearmel Boyd Martin, A. P.
Lusk. Casper Ball and a number Of Others
boarded the train to join the procession to
Carlisle Little time was consumed in
preparation, and the special train provided
soon steamed out, those behind speeding
the parting guests with round of cheers.
At Mechanicsburg a delegation
headed by brass band boarded
tho train, and thus multiplied in
proportions the party proceeded
to it's destination. Arriving there large
crowd was in waiting. Tho train stopped
in front of the hotel, and the visiting party
disembarked and sought tho seclusiOn Of
the hot0l parlors without waste of time.
The local committee was equally energetic
in its movements, and as soon as the train
v,,ox1oA of o,,A The f,,oS ION inn Ionf
to that work had subsided Major John B.
Bratton appeared ON the piazza aud intro
duced Mr.. Pattison, who alluded feelingly
to the fond memories of Carlisle and its
illustrious institutions of learning which
clustered about him. He remarked that
for six years his father was Officially con
nected with tho faculty and referred to the
local interest that incident gave him in the
institution. After continuing briefly in
this strain the candidate thanked his au-
ditors for tho kindly reception rendered
him aud bowed himself through the
open window. Senator Gordon was
next introduced. He spoke only u
few moments aud was followed by
Major Moses Veale, who delivered an
interesting address, ut the close Of which
the meeting, informal though it was, ad-
jjOurned. A reception followed, during
which many persons were introduced to
the controller. A pleasing incident OF this
part of the affair was tho presentation Of a
beautiful bouquet by a charming little CIR!
who expressed tho hope that the recipient
would soon be called by tho people to the
high Office for which he had been nOmina-
ted. After this had gone on for some time
one Of the. professors Of Dickinson college
called and invited the party to visit that
institution. The courtesy was accepted
and all proceeded to tho building. AS the
controller entered tho campus the bells of
the town rang out in notes of welcome, a
recognition of tho memory that the son
was hOnoring the father. whose faithful
work stands recorded to the credit Of the
institution. But even SO interesting alt
event could not reprcss the mischieviCuS
impulses of the students, and while the
party was being conducted in solemn and
silent procession through the edifice some
of tho boys locked the party into room
and for several moments retained them as
prisoners. The party soon re-embarked
and, running Wild" made good time to
Harrisburg, arriving there at half-past six.
Tho Harrisburg Demonstration.
Within the memory of man there has
been no such Democratic demou-
stration as that in Harrisburg iu
honor of tho young reform candi-
date. One ardent Republican referred to
meeting in 1864 which ho claimed sur.
passed it, but the prepondcrance of senti-
ment was against this individual, and the
common judgment was that this was the
Jumbo. When the train arrived the
streets were crowded and evidences OF en-
thusiasm were everywhere apparent. The
candidate and his associates having tasted
since the morning lunch in New York
state, however, wisely determined to have
supper first and proceeded to the
Bolton house for that purpose. After the
meal was served, escorted by band
they marched to the court house. Though
sOmc minutes before the time fixed for the
meeting, the house was crowded to its ut
most capacity. The immense crowd that
followed the visitors tried to tird standing
room, but that was impossible. The
visitors made their way to the stage, how
ever, and took their places on the plat
form. Tho venerable Hamilton Alricks
was called to tho chair and long list Oi
vice presidents and secretaries was read,
thus completing a formal organization.
This accomplished, Mr.. PattisOn was in
troducad. He spoke for upwards of half an
hour with earnestness, and was followed By
Major Moses Fealc and he by Senator
Gordon, and 1T the conclusion of whose
speech the meeting al djourncd. While
the inside meeting was i'll progress vast
crowd, unable, to obtain a,!mittance to the
ball, organized an overflow meetin. in the
square in front Of the court house. This
gathering was in itself \ large mass meet
ing. George Bailey, the famous Red
Cloud of Democracy, presided, and Geo.
II. Hoffman, OF Philadelphia, maai0 the
first speech. Controller PattisOn having
been released from the indoor gathering.
followed briefly. and Duncan Graham, of
Carlisle, and Ben NJ. Mead, of Harris
burg, followed him.
The success Of the meeting is tho sub
iject of comment everywhere. No one cx-
pected such u demonstration. The Inde-
pendent meeting recently held was Z grand
one, but did not approach this. At the
conclusion of the meetings the Chambers
burg band, the State Capitol band and the
Stee!tOn band, in turn, serenaded Candi-
dato Pattison, to each of which he made
brief speech. Tho party 70 embarked in
their special car, which was attached to
the | 80 train, for Philadelphia. This
afternoon they depart for Reading, where
a meeting will be held tonight.
