AT 3 O'Clock Hon. John F. Duncombe, of

two hours to large and highly appreciative
audience and his sentiments were frequently
appiauded. We only wish his speech could

or that we had space to give it entire in the
columns of the GLOBE.
But great was the enthusiasm
during the day, and great as
were the numbers, it was reserved for the
evening to eclipse it all. The city had been
filing up from morning till night, and when
darkness set in dense mass of human be-
ings thronged the sidewalks. making it diff
cult TO 20 from place to place. Thousands
of Chinese lanterns were suspended from
every available place; rockets, Roman can
dies and other fireworks Illuminated the
night, and the foot and mounted men with
torches, together with the music of dozen
brass bands, made the scene wild and mag
nificent to a striking degree. 1t had been
| announced that Mr.. Carlisle would speak at
s O'Clock in the evening, but the
train from Sioux City was late
on account of the numbers who wished to
come from that city and a delay of over two
hours was oceasloned thereby. special

came from there and steamed into LIE Mars
at 9 p. m. 1t took them from twenty min

delegates countermarching during this time,

be impossible to name the delegations in
order as the procession was formed, but fully
1000 men were in Inca the brass bands,

more For two hours before the appearance
OF the procession at the court house, headed
by Carlisle and his party in carriages, dense

No synopsis Of that speech which would do il
justice can be given 1t must be heard or
read to be appreciated. We have listened TO
many Of the men who have for the last
twenty-five years been eminent in the
councils of the nation-but for profound
thought, breadth of argument, and logical
expression we have never seen his effort sur
passed and seldom eouaed. The speaker is
q man of medium height, compact form and
strongly marked features.
HIS VIEWS As TO The POLITICAL OUTLOOK
In an interview With the GLOBE CORES
pendent during the afternoon he said: IT
do not regard the result in Ohio as discour-
sging--it is essentially Democratic victory.
The only effect it viii have upon New York
and Indiana viii be to make Us redoubIe our
exertions- look upon New York as certain
for Cleveland, and have no more
doubt about Indiana than I haze
