Thero was a rippplo of applause
and tho Colonel-coiuiiiljcd:

let me tell jou, fellow citizen", our
candidates are going to lido inti
office this fall on the crest of thp
greatest political tidal wavo this
country ha., ever known and when
tho sun .-ets on .November anil it
will set on a victorious democratic
host from Maine to California."
A stoim of checis folloned this
forecast and tho Colonel seized the
opportunity to spit, clear up his
throat and lake a drink of water.
After this ho ttarted in on tho
taiifi'and tho monetary questions
and laid down tho principles of
theo i--sues with telling effect.
From this ho switched off on stato
issues and spoko of tho spotless in
tgritv and illustrious careers of
the candidates on the denioe a ic
ticket. He spoku fur an hour and
closed amid a whirhund of ch'ors.
Retiring to bis seat tho Colonel
mopped his faco vigorously and
leaned back in his chair with an
air of extreme self-gratification.
After ono or two other notables
hid spoken, tho chairman in'ro
duced Mr. Sparks, who led off in
tho old fashioned stylo of stump
speaking. He spoko of "Our I'il
criin forefathers who landed at
Plymouth Rock in 1020 and who
came to this .country in oider that
thoy might worship God according
to tho dictates of their own con
sciences." Ho referred to Miles
Standish. touched on the Revolu
tionary war and spoko of "Our
grand and glorious homo of tho
bravo and land of tho free." Then
he spoko of the glorious possibilities
of the American Union, woi n 1 up
with the assertion that tho d 'mo
cratic party would, sweep tho coun
try on election day and closed amid
thunders of applause.
Tho chairman now announded
that tho meeting iwou'il adjourn
for refreshments aid dinner and
tho croud scattered out to tho
wagons and buggies from whence
boxes and baskets mado their ap
pearance and snowy tablo cloths
were spread on the ground around
among tho trees. From the depths
of the boxes and baskets came forth
cold roast chickens, pies, cake,
boiled hams, roast beef nnd mutton
salads, cold tea and coll'ee and a
hundred other good tilings, wliili

were already casing their leaves
and furnihed soft, downy carpets
through which the rustling feet of
tho thoutands pnscd to and fro.
Wagons loaili.il with watermelons,
barrols of eider, apples and every
thing to tempt the appetite stood
on every side. Tho excitement and
exertions of the day gave everybody
a good appetite anil more than an
hour pasted belbro tho crowds com
menced gathering about tho speak

bands were discour. ing sweetest
mii-ie. The afternoon was taken
up in giving t lie smaller fry of pol
iticians a chance to display their
oratorical abilities, and it wa3
about four or iivo o'clock belbro tho
crowds commenced dispersing and
turning their faces homeward.
Great clouds of dust hung over the
roads leading away from town and
hundreds of wagons were in lino
homeward bound. A large part of
tho crowds remained to witness tho
firoAorks and parade a, night and
the guards and delegations returned

and tho Colonel partook of a hur
ried -upper at tho Magnolia houso
and mado preparations for putting
in the night on tho street-. The
Colonel braced up his system on
gin and whisky while his friends
partook of beer and other mild
stimulants calculated to soothe a
man's nerves after the excitement
of tho day. ''We put it all over
tho Republicans." said tho Colonel,
leaning his his elbow on tho bar
and pushing his hat back on tho
bick of his head, ''tlio last time tluy
had a mass meeting here. They
advertised that they would have a
whole lot of big speakers and an
nounced that there would be a

when tho church bell begins to ring
ho pricks np Ids ears and miles
caught will make a bee lino tm
church. Once thero ho goes i. to
hiding under tho house until ser
vices begin. As soon as he hear
tho singing commence hi walk
solemnly in and takes his tt'i.id in
tho "amen corner" as becoming t
hi years and gray hairs, If he
j would ba content to remain lli-i
it would bo all right but he soon
gets restless and pincocrts to iiu'm
