CINCINNATI. o., Aug. 3.-A reception
to Murat Halstead, of the Commercial
Gazette. upon his return from Europe,
was given tonight by the Republican
clubs of Hamilton county IN Music hall.
The great hall was tastefully decorated
with flags and streamers of the national
eolors. The lower floor. was entirely
given up to the clubs, while the dress
circle and balcony were filled with
ladies and their escorts. The clubs
marched from their respective quarters,
and as they entered with their
music the enthusiasm of the
crowd was kept at white heat.
