strong contrast to this was the delegation
from the Echo mines, which consisted of a
large company of grimy miners, fully
equipped with lamps, picks and fuse,
and followed by wagon.load OF
dusky diamonds. The cavalry
section was, perhaps, the most imposing in
the procession. comprising, as it did, from
1,5OO to 1000 horsemen, marching four
abreast. The procession consumed over an
hour in passing at rapid rate of movement,
and when it finally reached the point of dis
baDdment the effect of the Blaine affair had
been completely trampled out.
This reception WAS, OF course, exceedingly
gratifying to Governor Hendrick-, for it
demonstrated the fact that, though he
had gone among those people year after year
till his face was almost as familiar as cue OF
their own townsmen. his welcome had never
worn out; but on the contary, their love for
him had grown warmer " th sacn visit until
now they found a pleasure in proving that
not all the boasted magnetic power
of the tRttoed statesman could elicit
an expression of popular interest, or curiOs
ity, even, which they could not readily
eclipse in behalf of their idol. So it was
that when lIr. Hendricks endeavored to
thank them for their kindly manifestations
he found progress exceeding slow, because
OF applause. He spoke bsieay, for the hour
was late, and his "God bless you alp was
received by 10000 grateful hearts as the
benisou from a father. He was followed
by Governor Gray, to whom was accorded q
welcome and God-speed only second to
that of Hendricks, and it was midnight when
Mr.. Westbrook, of st. Louis, closed the meet
ing in a brief address.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 26.-The Repueli-

and there is something dolorous about the
discussions by which they endesvor to draw
some comfort from comparisons between the
Blaine denomination and the great Demo
cratic rally of last night 1t would be pre-

in that respect. Rather than conceds the
full extent of the defeat, it charges, first, that
the uniforms were. not quite 30 bright as
those the Blaine men wore: that the voters
did not keep step quite so we'll. and that any
how more people took dinner at the hotels
the day Blaine was in town than on yester-
day. The organ is to be thanked for being
thus Unexpectedly gracious, and since it
acknowledges that the number who proved
their fsith by their works, and joined in the
Democratic procession. was much larger than
gave greeting to Blaine, nobody will begrudge
1t the reflection that more people came to see
the Blaine hipprodrome than came to enjoy
last nights display. The latter claim will de-

that never has be seen anything of polit-

place, while 1,700 was the limit Of the
number of torches carried in the Blaine pro-
cession, 5000 torches were In use last night
and more than one-hslf of those who partIci-
pstsd in the parade carried none. The floats
were not only numerous, but were works of
high art, which represented a lavish expen-
diture Of money. The designs were unique
as well as tasty, and 1t was hard to conceive
that political enthusiasm could find express

gan pouring into the city from the adjoining
country, and by the time the hour arrived

pie were in the city. The procession was at
least five miles long. The delegation wagons
were beautifully decorated and adorned
with appropriate notices; the streets of the
city were beautifully festooned With bunt-
ings and banners, and the enthusiasm was
bouDdless, and never in sll the history OF
this county were such manifestations of
earnestess displayed as by the assembled
Thousands TO day. Judge Clampiit delivered
the first address, and for two hours he held
the vast audience while he recounted the
wrongs inflicted upon the people by the vii
famous practices of the Republican party.
