MoRRIsTowN. Oct. 23-The largest crowd
Morristown ever saw was here yesterday
to hear the political ISSUES discussed by
Hon. Thaddens s. Rollins, of Indianapolis.
In spite of the drizzling rain which fell all
day, q crowd vaziously estimated at from
three thousand to six thousand, was in
town. At o'clock a grand parade was
formed, nearly three miles in length, which
marched through the principal streets, all
gaily decorated with flags. banners and
bunting, ana dotted with pictures of Har-
rison and Reid. Delegations came in from
other parts of the county, led by brass
bands and drum corps, and made up. large
~ of traction engines drawing wagon
trains. A special feature of tho day was
the First Voters Club of forty, which
marched at the head of the procession with
music and banners inscribed "Hanover's
Forty First Voters and I'VE vote it
straight, everyone of u.s." These acted as
an escort to the speaker. Democrats had
previously derisively referred to the rally
as ''childrens day" but now the Repub-
icans have taken up the cry which rings
through our streets and the Democrats
have nothing TO say, realizing that their
great advertised tri-cOunty rally was only
q small side-shOw compared TO to-dav's
demonstration. Mr.. Rollins spoke for over
an hour, and hundreds of people stood
throughout the speaking in q drenching
rain. The speech met with the hearty ap-
prevail of Shelby county people. who were
lately called on TO hear q rank Southern
speech at this place. The speaker closed
with words of compliment and encourage
