Cary, of Mpnticello, who made some very good remarks. He made his points clear to everyone. Mr, Cary’s speech was followed by A Halleck, Mose Leopold, of Rensselaer, then some of the candidates made short talks, which with a few well directed remarks by ,C. F. Mansfield, of Monticello, 111,, concluded the speaking for the evening. The crowd was extremely attentive to the speakers. There will probably be another republican speaking here before election and it is hoped the date can be announced farther ahead.
