me through your paper, to give brief &C.
count of the progress of the campaign in

in the county, and from the date of its ur.
ganization to the present. it has held stated
meetings every two weeks, The object OF
these meetings has been to keep the work
closely organized and to see that every man
who appreciates the unprecedented prosper
ity secured to our Government through the
administration of its affairs by the Republi.
can party for the last quarter of a century
shall be prepared to exercise his right of SOW
ereignty at the ballot box on the 4th of No
vember
At its regular meeting on Saturday even
ing the 9th ult., the club voted toinyite the
Republicans of Jenner and the adjoining
townships 10 unite with them in raising a
pole, on Saturday the 4th inst, and the
Chairman of the County Committee was
asked to furnish speakers for the occasion
The response to this invitation was beyond
the expectations even OF the most sanguine
At an early hour on Saturday afternoon the
streets of our village were so crowded as TO
make it almost impossible to pass with a
team. AT halfpast ocock the committee
who had in charge the preparation of the
pole reported all things in readiness, and in
less than 25 minutes pole which for beauty
cannot be excelled, 40 feet in length, was
pointing heayenward.

the bands present the crowd were called as
nearly together as was practicable, and an
organization was effected by the election of
the following officers: President, Hon. Dan
