590 - L. Oct. 5:4/3,8 - The grand Union rally held today, was in all respects,
a most complete and wonderful success. In spite of the rain, the city was
decorated in gala day attire. "The banner of glory and beauty floated
proudly from the flagstaff on the Square, and flags of all sizes hung from
roofs, windows, and ropes stretched across the streets." The whole city
was enthused and excited. Crowds came in trains and private conveyances
from every direction. Surrounding townships turned out in full force, East
Cleveland receiving the banner for having the largest delegation present. --
The meeting was called to order by H. M. Chapin. Judge Spaulding made a
brief speech in regard to the death of Governor Wood, who was to have pre-
sided at the meeting. Judge Day of Ravenna then made an address which he
began by reviewing the history of the secession movement. Ile spoke at
length on the Union cause and the duty of loyal men toward it. His speech
was received with much enthusiasm and applause.
The Hon. Benjamin Stanton was the next and last speaker. He spoke in
defense of the course Lincoln had taken, and showed how many things he had
thought unwise, had since been proved the very wisest measures. He defended
the emancipation proclamation and eulogized Sherman on his recent campaign.
He then showed up the weakness and absurdity of the "Chicago Platform."
Never has the city been more brilliantly illuminated. Public and private
piaces alike displayed lighted candles and lanterns. The torch-light proces-
sion of the different wards as they marched from Euclid place to the Square
was one of the finest pyrotechnic displays ever seen in Cleveland. Several
speeches were made at the evening meeting, which progressed nicely until some
"Copperhead" rowdies tried to tear down the banner and lantern hung near the
American building. Police were hurriedly called and order restored for the
remainder of the evening. º (115)
