The republican meeting announced
for last Tuesday night was quite largely
attended. Mr.. Pennewill, one of the
announced speakers, was in Milford on
Saturday and mentioned his inability
to be here on the advertised date, so
the rumor got out that the meeting
was a fizzle, and when the other an
nounced speaker, Judge Fisher, was
presented to the audience, there were
not more than $50 people in the hall;
but as the meeting progressed, ,and-the
people on the street heard thata repub-
lican meeting was going on, the hall
filled up, until when Mr.. Willis was
introduced there was little floor space
unoccupied. The Veteran Club was
well represented, and Mr. Fishers
talk was chiefly TO these old comrades
ofthe "ls4O" campaign. Both speakers
were followed with rapt interest by
tbeaudienceand frequently applauded.

contemporaneous interest, is we'll worth a
visit, which can never be more pleasantly
made than at this season. The Pennsylya-
