The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1891-09-19

most efforts had been exerted tc
make this the Grand Rally of the
campaign in this part of Ohio, and
every train was loaded with per.
sons bent on attending the meet.
ing, the Fair, or both, and early in
the day our streets began to All
with citizens and visitors bent on
seeing the show.
1t would be nonsense to say that
the gathering was a failure, for II
was not. 1t was a success, for a
Republican meeting, and that il
was so is entirely due to Messrs
Pursell, Vickers and Davenport,
who had labored for month with
untiring energy and zeal to make
it so.
Had Hooking County alone been
represented, the crowd would have
been slender, but large delegations
came in from Athens, Fairfield,
Southern Perry and Vinton coun-
ties, drawn here by the livid repre-
sentations and urgent solicitations
of the aforesaid Pursell, Vickers
and Davenport.
We felt that the event would be
great one, because Pursell and
Davenport both appeared on our
streets early in the morning, wear
ing in addition to the regulation
silk hat and buston-hole bouquet, q
Hn-tGg, to remind the people that
they were in favor Of the increased
duty on tinplate.
Notwithstanding all this the
meeting might have been II failure
but for the forethought of Daven-
port. Ed had been granted the
privilege of acting as Chief Mar
shall, and had sent to Lancaster for
speckled stud horse on which to
ride. The horse was on hand and
Ed had him decked, tail, name and
foretop with bright, cardinal rib
bons, and when Ed was seated
astride looked like a painted toy
pony under load of hay 1--WE

"McTinley" arrived on the south
bound morning train and was load
ed into a carriage with Pursell,
Vickers, John F. White, who kicks
on Campbell because the Lrgisla-
ture did not follow his advice and
relieve the furniture manufacture
ers from fair share of taxes, and
Abbott, the Republican candidate
for State Senator, and hauled from
the depot to the Market Square be-
hind Davenport and the spotted
stallion.
Behind them! that was the trou-
BILE. Every eye was riveted on
the huge mass of gorgeousness, and
the proximity of the "tin god" of
high taxes passed by unnoticed
and uncheered.
Arriving at the Market Square
the party mounted the ethereal
John Strentz platform, which was
already over-burdened by Repub-
licans, who can't vote, and while
making his bow to the stupendous
throng gathered on the Square, $50
by l25 feet, and fully half filled,)
down went the platform, broken to
smithereens, carrying McGinty
with it. The platform was ruined
beyond the possibility of repair,
and a convenient spring wagon
was substituted, from which the
Major addressed the crowd in his
stereotyped campaign speech for
two mortal hours and until most
OF his hearers went away.
The Major was cheered four sep
arate times during his speech, and
once more, the heartiest of all,
when he quit.
1t was eminently proper that the
Major, who has labored so inces-
sanity to make petty lords of the
manufacturer and serfs of the la
borer, should be entertained by one
of the favored class, and so he di-
ned at the table of Darius White,
the nuclus of whose fortune was
accumula ted in the position gran
ted to his father by the old time
Democracy Of Little Hooking.
