corted &c a square In the center Of the
city. where he spoke from a platform

The meeting was by far the largest of
the day and II was thoroughly enthus-
iastlc.
The Republicans also had torchlight
procession In the city tonight with
speeches In the public hall by Sena-
tor Spooner and w. d. Bynum. As a
consequence the city was full Of red
hre and political enthusiasm. The
lines OF march Of the two parades We're
so arranged as to not conflict and there
was no physical clash.
The majority OF the meetings during
the day were not so largely attended
nor - demonstrative as those of the
Indiana and Illinois tour of last week.
Rain threatened during the greater
part Of the day and this circumstance
doubtless had 4 dampening influence
or the ardor OF the crowds as well as
upon their attendance.
