party much good here. The first Republic
an speech ever made in Lane township,

siastic crowd, representing all political
parties. The meeting at Boonvilie on Sat
urday afternoon was a large one, but ow-

pearance soon after noon the melting had
to be held in the court room. and only. a
portion of the crowd was able to get in.

were represented. Ex-Congressman Tay-
lor, who was so completely showed under

man Hemenway,. had made a speech here
