There was quite large crowd In attendance.
Nearly all OF the candidates were on the
ground-shaking hands with everybody. The
peopleof that section had provided a very.
liberal supply to the things needfnl to satisfy
the wants of the inner man." The ladies or
sisted by the Salem ladies, had also on hand
refreshments, Ice cream, lemonade, cake, &c,
which went like hot cakes. Unfortunately
for their interests, the supply, OF these delica-
cies, was considerably short Of the demand.
They however realized about thirty-ffye dol
lars, clear profit, for their days work. They
are encouraged and very grateful for the aid
thus given, as 1t will enable them, to- at least
partly do their necessary church work.
Many Of US were disappointed that the cam
didates did not give us their Ideas upon the
leading topics Of the day. We think TINT we
but voice the sentiments Of the entire crowd.

membered, and very much doubt me, II the
campaign affords more pleasant and enjoy
able day to all concerned and participating,
