not before" We sre Informed BY the

Logan. March 10.-The circuit of this
county by Messrs. King and Dunbar
was completed today at Newton, where
Mr.. Dunbar and Messrs. l. c. Thoreson.
F. K. Nebeker and J. N. Blair held a
big and enthusiastic meeting, preceded
by a similar gathering at Charleston at
10 o'clock this morning. In all twelve
meetings were held in this county, and
each gathering was marked by the
number of votes il contained. the
younger element being excluded until
all adults had obtained seats. and usu-
ally the grown people filed the hall.
Both speakers made a good impression,
and strong party feeling now prevails
in Cache. Judge King was well known
here, and, of course, his reception
everywhere was cordial. Mr.. Dunbar, a
comparative stranger here, was greet
ed as enthusiastically as Mr.. King, and
he has made for himself a host of
friends in Cache, who admire intensely
his ready acquieScence in the will of
the majority, as eXemplified in the
hearty support he is giving his rival for
the Democratic nomination. The IOca.
speakers who accompanied MeSSrs-
King and Dunbar through the county
did excellent work and helped by their
example to close up all divisions in the
