Although the ram was pouring IN tor
rents, and had been all day. the Demo
crate across the street were holding the
largest and most enthusiastic meeting
Of the campaign. Sounds Of their cheers
iioated into the Republican meeting.
Judge Foraker began by defending
himself against what h seemed 10
think were the unjust aspersions OF the
Democratic press, which, he said. mad
advised the people 70 stay away from
his meeting. lie made the same speech
as reported hitherto, eulogizing Lee
and jackson and denying the reports Of
his northern speeches.
Across the street the Democrats were
having al enthusiastic meeting. The
pouring rain had not prevented them
from filing the courthouse 70 its full
capacity. There were Al this meeting
four times as many people a. greeted
the Ohioan. but there was no BIAS
band.

sion with either Massey or Walker.
The latter gentleman then spoke II tins
courthouse. The Hon. II. S. Walker
spoke al hour and hall amid the great
est enthusiasm. Mr.. Massey, although
very unwell, was on the stand and made
brief speech, IN which he referred
70 the prospects Of the CANVASS.
