nificant as we'll thpt there have been large
audiences at all OF the public meetings
held by the Union forces except one, that

Lentz home, in Ohio.
He had the ho1or OF introducing to q
Linn county audience one whom many
declare to be the nblest orator who ha.
ever spoken in Albany. Mr.. Lentz has
received hearty reception in the state,
though stranger here with only one
