MoRdAxTowN, W. Va, Oct. l2.-All
day yesterday and till a late hour last
night Morgantown was alive with the
most enthusiastic and largest assembly
OF Republicans that was ever in this
town. The delegations from every dis
trict were very near complete. At an
early hour the delegations from the
west side OF the Monongahela river be-
gan to assemble, aud during the entire
morning till eleven o'clock a vast con-
course of people might be seen gather
ing and forming into line. During the
same time the delegations from tho
east side we're being formed above
town, and at eleven o'clock these two
formations with tho town organizations
formed into one Of the largest parades
Morgantown ever saw. The parade
was formed oil the following delegations
successively: Sheridan Troop, Grand
Army delegation, companies OF the
Sheridan Marching club, University
Marching club, Colored Marching club,
and these were followed by the delega-
tions from the seven districts of the
county. A large number OF bands were
in the parade, and with the floats and
banners the entire %concourse furnished
n grand spectacle. All the principal
streets OF the town were taken in tho
route OF march, and adjournment was
made for dinner.
After dinner, for three hou:s a large
assembly listened to the political ora
tory Of Hon. V. B. Deliver, Of Iowa;
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth. OF Ohio,
and Hon. A. W.. Campbell, Of Wheel
ing.
Mr.. Deliver showed the folly Of the
old plantation politics" OF the Demo
cratic party. This gentleman was list
ened to with special interest, as he is Il
native Of West Virginia n spent a
great part of hisearly life in and around
Morgantown.
MI. Butterworth dealt principally
with the tariff. His mastery treatment
OF tho subject showed him 10 be worthy
of his reputation. His pleasant style
ynd good logic won repeated applause
from the attentive assembly. Morgan
town never listened to q better treat
ment Of the subject.
MI. Campbell dealt with the tariff, es-
pecially in regard to it's effects upon
capital and labor, and showed graphic
ally the contrast between American
and foreign labor. Mr.. Campbells
speech was especially interesting in
this connection on account OF the fact
that he Just recently returned from an
extended trip to Europe. It had been
arranged that Mr.. Campbell would not
speak till in the evening, but 80 great
was the enthusiasm and SO many the
cries for Campbell" that he responded
and, aver after quite a lengthy talk,
was still called for and arrangements
were made for an evening session in the
wigwam. the afternoon meeting having
been held in the open air. Mr.. Camp
bell and Mr.. Dolliver consented to speak
at the evening meeting. The wigwam
wonld by no means accommodate the
people who were present in the evening
but all who gained entrance were again
greatly entertained and listened atten-
lively during a good talk by each OF the
speakers. After the day was over it
was considered the greatest rally OF Re-
publicans that ever took place In this
Hon. W. L. Wilson is expected to be
here next Saturday to assist in the Dem
ocratic demonstration.
This morning. after chapel exercises
had been completed, Hon. A. w. Camp
bell was introduced to the students by
DIR. Turner. Mr.. Campbell's interest
ing talk was confined principally to a
comparison of the American and Ger
man universities. His speech was heart
lily received by the students.
