THE Republican mass meeting at Mil
ford on Saturday last was a complete sue
cess. From early in the morning a con-
tiHuous stream Of people came in from
the surrounding country; trains from
above end below added to the number,
till the crowd had increased to the pro-
portions Of old-time gatherings.
Promptly at 2 O'Clock Hon. James R.
LoAaud introduced the speaker OF the
day, Hon. Charles Foster, Secretary Of
the U. S. Treasury. The Secretary be-
gan by complimenting our little State by
saying while your State is composed
of but one Congressional district, you have
furnished more distinguished names to
the roll of Congressional membership |
than many larger States. Your one Con-
gressional district has as many Senators 1
as any of the States of the Union, and
therefore an election involving a Sena-
torial succession in this State, is as i'm
portant as a Senatorial election in any of
the larger states, and therefore this State
giving promise Of another United States
is a focus ofinterest to the coun-
Try at large, aud particularly so to the Re-
publican party. Judging from the ap-
ofthe people before me, the peo-
pie of this section of the State are mainly
farmers. You may not know it, but I'M
til unfortunately got into politics, my
business was with just such people as
suppose YOU to be. I was raised in a
country store and employed my time in
selling calico and other articles of gen
.ral merchandise to my neighbors. Judg-
ng from what have seen of your State,
you have temperate climate, a fertile
ioil, and ought to be happy and pros.

uch in a much larger degree if your
State was thoroughly Republican in pol

statistical statement of the condition

Is a common scold that party is great
