observation OF the royalist mass meeting
IL was worse than i anticipated-a Dismal
failure. About three hundred natives and
whites stood rather sparseiy about a table
on the sidewalk. Perhaps a hundred more
natives lounged against houses and fences
In the vicinity. Most of the whites whom I
knew were for the republic. The natives
appeared very listless. The speakers
mounted the table one by one Resolutions
were read. J. o. Carter read the English
version. He looked dispirited Two or
three persons endeavored a faint cheer

rhetoric, alternately In both languages No
one applauded The expression on an faces
was that OF witnessing a dull attempt az
farce. After twenty minutes OF this I
came away.
The republican mass meeting will un-
doubtedly be a rousing one The Schuetzen

tons. emphatically indorsing the constitu-
ton. But must close TO reach the mail.
