grms came into Canton to-day and the

and the street in front of the residence

before o'clock, but delayed it's call till

day, and the crowd became so large tina;
the speaking had to be transferred from
the porch to the reviewing stand. Every
caller was intent on shaking hands with
the nominee, and SO far as possible the op-
portunity granted, though it a
herculean task. AT one time the crowd be-
came so large it was impossible to organ
ize a line for a Misunderstanding reception.

the house waiting for the Major to reap
pear, and towards evening he came out
upon the porch to meet them.
