People began arriving early in the evening and before the hour of calling the meeting to order the streets were crowded with people from various sections of the county. The circuit court room was filled to overflowing and standing room was at a premium, and only about one-half of the people were able to gain admittance. The speaker of the evening was the Hon. Eph Inman of Washington, well known in this section of the state. Mr. Inman held the closest attention of his large audiejnce by his oratory aud the issues of the campaign on which he spoke.
