hESEoH' september ~ Exclusive. i
The demonstration here on Wednesday was
the greatest possible success, and the Dem
ocrats of Lewis are congratulating them
selves in the warmcst terms.
At 10 o clock a. M. the Weston band
marched to the depot aud there met and es
corted to the Court House the Buckhannon
band and her Cleveland and Hendricks
club. At $40 the Cleveland and Hen
bricks club of Weston and the band met at
the edge of town the various Democratic
clubs from up the river and marched to the
Court House All the clubs escorted By
the two bands marched 10 The depot and
there met the T.c.: Creek club and
band together with the Jane Lew
club and hundreds of people all falling into
line marched to town, and thence to the
Fair ground. At noon slices Of the OK and
tweuty sheep, along with bread, pickles, etc,
were handed TO the multitude on 1000
wooden plates. About twenty barrels Of
lemonade and cider were used in allaying
the thirst of the countless throng. At p.
III. our noxt Congressman, j Judge John Bran
non, called the multitude 10 order and named
Senator J. A. Camden as chairman. The
Senator in taking the chair made an eloquent
speech. Tho impression here has always
been that Senator Camden is no speaker,
but those who heard his address Yesterday
pronounced Kim not only a good speaker,
but logical and pointed debater. A prom
inCnt Democrat said at the Sterling House
last night that Senator Camden had done
more for the success of the Democratic
pOrty in thls State than any ten men in the
party, When tn" chairman introduced
the prince OF oratory Henry 5. Walker, the
applause Was terrific. His speech was
simply grand, unanswerable ard unisuc.
For two hours the attention of 5000 people
hang ia transport on the music OF
His Magic Words.
Senator Camden in presenting kenna
paid HIM grand tribute and said he wrs
known as the hoy Senator o. the nitod
States. He may hc in years bat in point Of
experience and intellectual power he surely
