The night was the most unpleasant
OF the fail season; cold with high
wind blowing. It was, as one OF the
speakers said, typical Democratic
weather. m Notwithstanding this the
Atheneum was well filled with men
and quite a number Of ladies graced
the occasion with their presence and
seemed as much interested in the dis
cussion Of the. issues as the sterner
sex. $ a

with the national colors Lincoln's por-
trait occupying q prominent place in
the center. Arranged around the

to Grant, Serman, Sheridan, Logan
and other noted chieftains, occupied a
place on the stage. 1t was also
