ing-Matrimonial- General News.
FAIRNoNT, October 8 Exclusive. =
On Monday last the Mountain City was out
to see James &. Blaine, Republican candi-
date for President A crowd variously esti-
mated at from one thousand to twenty-five
hundred gathered at the depot without re-
gard to age, race, color, sex or previous
condition Of political servitude to see the
only greatest American living wonder. Mr..
Blaine spoke from stand, and made a
pleasant allusion to the wonderful increase
Of our wealth in this State during the last
ten years. He was given respectful hear
ing and was heartily cheered ss the train
moved of. Blaine looks almost as old as
Gov. Pierpont, but he does not possess halt
the ability-for scattering a crowd. Some
Amusing Features
Of the Great Am : visit here, were the
introductions he had to different admirers
One enthusiastic lady grabbed his hand and
said Mr. Blaine, | am john Jones wife;
and a girl introduced herself as Mr. John
sons daughter" OF course the intimate
relations existing between Jones, John
son" and Blaine will cause the latter to re
member the wife and daughter Of the form
er until his accurate memory fails him.
Hon. william l.. Wilson
will address the people OF Palatne, in the
school hall, this evening. Mr. Wilson is II
great favorite with the working men of this
community, and this, together with his
matchless eloquence, sound logic and pleas
ant social qualities, will insure him large
and appreciative audience. The speech
made in the Court house here some time
since, by this gentleman, Was by far the best
made here during the campaign. Perhaps
il was the only one that did very much
good but our people will always listen TO
William L. Wilson, and most Of us will vote
TOR him.
There will be a Butler pole raising in
Palatine. tomorrow, Saturday. Prominent
ora 'ors will be present, and a good time is
anicil ated.
