NICHOLAS O. H, September 3.-There
was witnessed here Saturday the greatest
outpouring of the Democracy ever seen In
this county. The occasion was the rscep-
ton of the Hon A. B. Fleming, our next
Governor; the Hon, Alfred Caldwell, our
Attorney General, and the Hon. B. F
Fisher, q next State Senator. Never he
fore did our people turn out in such num-
bsrs and with such enthusiasm TO a po-
Itical gathering. In the morning, at
about 10 u. NJ, they assembled in carriages,
in wagons, on horseback and sfGot, In a
isl6 near this town, under the command OF
Mr.. VIM. G.. Graves, chief marshal, and
his efficient aides, Msssrs. E. John Bell, j.
A. Mearips and J. a.. Bobbitt- No hand
somer or more efficient commanders could
have been chosen. The Hon. John Alder
SON was also prsssn, and looked mt to
grace any positiont, however high Inc
marching column was half q mile long,
and headed by a junior club in uniform,
the band, uniformed in gray and gold,
with the horsemsn and the carriages, filled
with gaily dressed and smiling ladies,
made a spectacle. Judge Fleming aud
Messrs. Caldwell aud Fisher, repeatedly
expressed their admiration on account OF
the grand reception rendered them.
At one O'Clock p. m. the people assem-
~z.r koNyn a fha nnnnhar
of over two thousand, to listen to the
speeches by Judge Fleming and General
Caldwell. The meeting was most orderly
and attentive, and the great crowd was
RECALLED for nearly four hours by the elo-
quent speakers.
Judge Jennings mastery and forcible,
as we'll rs eloquent discussion Of the tariff
question received the warm approyai OF
a citizens. Our genial candidate for
Governor is winning votes everywhere ne
gees, both by his speeches and his popular
manners. The people say that when he
is Governor, any man, however poor and
humble, will be able to approach him and
receive 8 patient and respectful hearing
Attorney General Caldwell spoke mainly of
State matters, although devoting some OF
his time to the national issues.
His eloquent and spirited remarks
i-ptsrspersed with anecdotes, immensely
pleased his audience. The unanimous YER
dict of their hearers is that the two speak
srs are the right men and that they will
both be in the right places as Governor and
Attorney General Of this State. This was
truly q red letter day in the history OF
Nicholas county. Here Democrats are
earnestly at work with unparalleled enthu-
siasm. The Republicans are paralyzsd at
Saturdays performances, as it has shown
them that the sturdy farmers of Nicholas
are determined TO roll up an unprecedented
majority in November for their ~tsvorites
A very pleasing incident occurred after
the marching was over. The marchers
and band proceeded to the residence of Mr..
Anderson, and, entering into his grounds,
marched several times around his house
cheering tremendously for our next Con-
gresham. Mr.. Anderson was called for
and made an elegant speech, which was
received with such applause asSto show
the speaker to be an idol Of the people of
this county. Nicholas county houors her,
self in honoring her distinguished con. We
hsye 9 splendid and winning county
ticket, and we have no use here for Rspub-
licanism, high tariff and cheap whisky.
