would be very materially cut down. A "big
meeting" with a big speaker" was hit upon as
the best expedicnt to drive away the feeling
that had been quietly bringing the people to a
determination to support Harrison and the whole
Republican ticket this fail. Saturday was set
as the day. and Capt. W. r. Myers, the means
