The End of the Campaign.

The Republican campaign in Jasper county ended Monday night, at the opera house, in an immense meeting, organized by A. McCoy. Uncle Mac was there with his “Sweet Singers in Israel” choir, and four sheepskin bands and the Citizens’ band. Speeches were made by Uncle Mac, A. F. Knotts, J. E. Wilson, C. E. Mills, H. B. Kurrie, and W. H. Coover. The opera house was packed with an enthusiastic audience. Earlier in the evening Uncle Mac and his musicians went out to St. Joseph’s college, by their invitation, and made a speech which was listened to by all the students and professors, and very favorably received.
