The next meetings Of the day were
for Ashland and Geagic counties, Ohio,
and were held in the Tabernacle. The
Ashland county delegation came in a
special train of eight coaches. 1t was
an enthusiastic party, conspicuous for
the many aged people. Several men
were pointed out as over eighty years
of age; one couple which walked down
the aisle of the hall, man and wife,
both over eighty, but as enthusiastic
as the young bloods. The Geagic coun-
ty party came in two special trains
and numbered about 5000. Addresses
were made on behalf of Ashland coun-
ty by DR.. G.. Hess, and on behalf of
Gaegic county by Judge Garfield, of
Chadron. Before the speaking began,
1t became apparent that the hall could
not accommodate those assembled and
those approaching. and it was decided
to address Ashland county and the first
train load from Geagic. Next a speech
was delivered to the second crowd from
Gea gic and when that was concluded,
a large crowd from Parkersburg, w.
Va, was given possession of the hall.
To the West Virginia delegation Maj. Nc
Kinley said in part:
Inc VI west virginia are 1Qe0Llcal
with the interests of every other section of
our country. TIL interests Of your state are
Identical with the interests of my state What
will benefit one will benefit the other; what
will injure the one will injure the other.
They have no divided interests. They are
one and indivisible No longer are they sep
arated in interest or affection fraternity
by the unhappy events of thirty-five years
ago. The wounds then inflicted have been
healed. The bitterness then engendered has
been assuaged The fires Of passion then
burning have been quenched. We are all
an equal part Of the glorious union of states
all equally interested in preserving its in
dissolubility all alike concerned in the
strength and integrity of the Union in up
holding public law. in maintaining that great
bulwark Of American rights the courts of the
country, with the old flag waving its folds
of protection over US, and Is as near to the
hearts Of the men Of the South as to the
men of the North.
1t will be glorious day in the history of
our country when the North and the South
shall be united in control of the government,
brought together in the execution Of a COM
mon purpose, agreeing in q common policy
for the good Of all. and together making laws
and administrations which shall be national
reach our full and imperial power as a gov
eminent until that unity shall demonstrate
it's presence in a national triumph which
shall be the joint work and common triumph
of all sections of our country. This is my
aim and prayer; and If this contest shall re-
suit in promoting that greatly-to- be-desired
result 1t will be the greatest victory for the
Union and for American destiny since APP
