CoNNERsvILLE, Oct. i5.-Thls is Fsyett
Republican day. There are fifteen thou
sand strangers in the city. and the streets
are crowded with surging masses. The
campaign badge and it's vender, the grand
fathers hat and linen duster indicate the
political complexion of the crowd. There is
another mark of identity. There is no open
gambling. no 'Oid Hy." no she'll W orkers,
and no drunken men maundering about
-eharacterlstics still fresh in the memory
of the Shelbyyille and Peru Democratic
barbeeues. There Is still another indica-
tion of political faith in the prOfusion of
the national colors, swinging to the
wind from stores. factories, carriages
and private residences. With flags,
bunting and streamers the city is in gala
attire. The sky is lowering. as if threat
eniug rain. A little of rain would be well
come to lay the dust. The thousands of
vehicles keep the dust in stir. But every
body seems eontented and happy. and the
spStby, at which apprehension was felt by
both parties some weeks ago, has disap-
peared as far as the Republican hosts of
Fayette are concerned.
BEGAN TO GATHER EARLY.
The city was astir early in the day. The
first delegations to arrive were from New
Castle and Richmond. Bands of music ao-
companied the New Castle crowd. and
the handsomely attired bugie corps
OF Richmond made favorable
impression as model campaign
club. delegations continued to arrive all
the morning as the regular and excurson
trains pulled in and unloaded their thou
sands. The air was constantly vibrating
with sounds of the tireless drum CORPS.
Fayetteville, Laurel. Alquina and num-
bers of small towns in the county sent
delegations in wagons. Liberty sent a
campaign club of four hundred and
is entitled to the banner. The Fayette-
vile Band spent the morning in leading
the Harrison Township Republican Cav
airy Club about the streets. This is an or
ganization of young farmers, who repre-
sent stanch element in the Republican
party.
The old soldier was prominent among the
crowds. being dIstinguishable on account
of his enthusiasm and his coat of blue. If
Is said that the Democratic veterans of
Fayette are following General Sickles's ex-
ample in boltlng the support OF the great
pension-vetoer and maligner of the de-
