evening was grand success. A spe-
cial train consisting of three coaches
well loaded, carrying the speakers,
republican campaign glee club, band,
torch light procession and large
number of citizens and ladies, was run
from Paw Paw. On arriving at Law
renee the visitors were met by dele
cation of republicans and the Lawrence
band and escorted TO the commodious
opera house, which was filed to its ut
most capacity, both upstairs and down,
as well a5 on the stage, standing room
being at premium and many people
being wholly unable to obtain an en-
trance. The meeting was opened with
8 few appropriate remarks by the chair
man, Geo. A. Cross, Esq, followed by
a song from the glee club which was
loudly encored, which, indeed, was the
case every time the boys put in an ap-
pearance. The first speaker was Judge
Heckert, who delivered an eloquent,
logical and convincing address, review
ing the political situation and going
very fully into discussion of both the
tariff and currency questions. The
Judge has studied these questions care
fully and is fully equipped for an intel
ligent discussion of them. Those pom
derous (s) editorials that appeared in
the Courier last week concerning that
republican silver resolution had been
printed in circular form and sent down
for gratuitous distribution, and as each
individual entered the room, be was
handed copy. In closing his address,
Judge Heckert devoted few minutes
to the author of the circular, haying
him in most artistic manner, leaving
him skinned to finish" The judge
was followed by Rev. +. III. Harvey,
who made brief, but earnest and tell
: ing address The speakers were fire.
quently interrupted with tumultuous
applause, the audience fully appreciat-
ing every point scored by them The
