1569 - L Oct. 28:4/5 - The Demccracy of the third, fourth, fifth, and
sixth wards met last night at Euclid and Brownell sts. with lanterns,
banners, and music, and proceeded to the home of Mr. Noble. On arriving,
the band played the "Star Spangled Banner" and gave three cheers for
Noble. Their next stop was at the residence of the Hon. H. B. Payne
and the band serenaded him with "When the Cruel War is Over." After the
cheering ceased, Payne congratulated the crowd on the mighty reduction
of the "Abolition" majorities, and said that one more such victory as
that of the late election would lay the Abolitionists at the feet of
the Democrats. He also told them that they must not relax until McClellan
is elected. At the conclusion of Mr. Payne's speech, the crowd proceed-
ed to the home of F. T. Backus. This worthy gentleman held forth in
speech until most all of the lanterns burned out, and tired serenaders
lost their enthusiasm. (24)
