ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
CINCINNATI, November 2.-By all odds
the most magnificent political meeting Gin
cinnati ever knew was that at Armory Hall
Tonight addressed BY Governor Foraker,
c. A. Boutelle, George A. Sheridan, Gem
eral Hale and Mr.. Bushnell, of Springfield,
o. Seats for 10000 people had been pre-
pared and standing room for 5000 more.
At s O'Clock not chair remained and every
foot of standing room including the main
aisle was packed and not a club had arrived.
The band played patriotic airs accompanied
by cheers from the audience.
At $50 the first club appeared. With
great difficulty the main aisle was cleared
for the clubs to march through in review.
For an hour they pushed through as fast as
they could walk, perfect storm of cheers
following them. Thousands of ladies were
present and enthusiastically waved hand
kerchiefs at the club men. Bv $50 o'clock
the hall was clogged, though thousands
were still clamoring for admission. By this
time eager hundreds had crowded into the
spaces between the rows of chairs, while
nearly 1000 men had climbed into the
beams and frame work that support the
arched roof.
WARMLY WELCOMED.
When Governor Foraker appeared on the
platform the applause was startling. 1t
rose and swelled until it was almost deaten-
ing and continued until the Governor in
despair waved his hands for quiet. Even
then it was many minutes before it became
possible to speak. The Governors speech
was short, but to the point. He referred to
the armory as one of the works of a Foraker
board, and said it was fitting that it should
be opened to the public by so wonderful
Republican out-pouring. He was followed
by c. A. Boutelle, who in turn gave way to
Mr.. Hale. General Sheridan then made
the address of the evening. 1t captivated
the audience completely. The following
telegram was received:
WASHINGTON, D. e., November 2
Chairman Armory Hall mass meeting, Cincin-
To such comrades as can reach through you
/ want to say that hope they will relax no
effort to keep Joseph Il. Foraker for another
term in the seat he SO ably and completely
fills and adorns. He is no fair weather friend
He has stood by the soldiers in all seasons, and
they should stand by him now.
JAMES TANNER.
ANOTHER BIG DEMONSTRATION,
Mr.. Campbeli's Music Hall meeting was
also splendid affair. 1t was crowded to
its utmost capacity, fully 1000 people being
present. There was but little music, as the
Republicans had employed every band in
the city. Mr.. Campbell was received with
the greatest enthusiasm, and made speech
that called out frequent applause. 1t was
much the same speech he has delivered
throughout the State, and was warmly re-
ceived.
Standing room in every part of the house
was at a. premium, and the constant shutting
of feet caused much annoyance; but not
withstanding this the meeting was in every
sense the most successful the Democracy
has held here for many years, and shows the
party is better organized, more soiidifed
and in better shape than for many cam
paigns. Mr.. Campbell is confident he will
be elected, together with Democratic
Legislature.
