the answer given with youthful enthusiasm, "why
they'll parade if it cyclones. There are no fair
weather Republicans In this lot, you can bet" Still
the rain had an apprec!able eject in reducing the
numbers in the crowd, especially of that portion
of it whose feathers and bonnets were almost as
dear to them "a their political creed.

with n gathering formed to n largo extent

largo force of mon engaged In
keeping the swarmng crowds to the line of the
sidewalks, had to use much discretion to whom
he admitted not to encroach on the space re-
served for Mr.. Blaine at the southeast corner of the
stand. Among those who were carly on the field
and who employed themselves for an hour or more
in discussing the burning questions of tho hour
were General Lloyd Aspinwall, Thomas {. Acton,
Reuben HoJt, G. \. IIalsey, Of New-Jorsey j. ID.
Vrooman, Colonel Grosyonor, Lew p. Morton,
Chief-Justice Noah Davis, Alexander Taylor sr., j.

x-Lientenant-Go Governor Robinson, Samuel Fessen-
den, \. NJ. Palmer DR.. Mallory, and many of tie
cergymon who had called on Mr. Blaine IN the
forenoon.
