Cloudy, cold day, but cleared off, and became more pleasant in the afternoon
There was a large Republican ratification meeting held here to day, which was addressed by Mr Grimshaw and myself in the afternoon, he speaking a half hour, and I an hour and a half. The Court house was packed to its utmost capacity, and then not half the crowd was in. There were a large number of ladies present.
There seems to be a great deal of enthusiasm among the people, and every thing now indicates an ardent and successful campaign.
