Fully 10,-" 000 people, residents and visitors, crowded the streets and the park of the Egyp- finn city, while « prodigious display of flags and bunting, Garfield and Arthur banners, and Chinese lanterns, and the presence of jialf a dozen brass bands, imparted a holiday alr to the occasion, and showed that the pa- triqtisin and enthusiasin of the Republicans of Perry Connty were nelther dead nor sleeping.

The large audience hardly needed any Ine troduction to Gen.

LANDERS KICKS, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Tupranaronts, Ind., July 29,—It is stated. to-night on good authority that the assess- ment against Franklin Landers, Democratic nomlnes for Governor, made by the State Central Committee, fs $9,500, and that he *muve his check to-day for this mmount. ‘The sum has bean yarlously given, the amounts ranging between $1,000 and $5,000, but on tho authority of a member of the State Com- mittee It ts now giyen at $5,500, Mr, Landers objected to paying so Inrge a sum, forthe reason that four years ago Gov. WHl- fing was assessed only $1,200, and that in 1872 Gov, Hendricks had been asked to pay nothing. . Besides, he belluved the ns- sessment hind been made larger than It other- wise would have been except for the personal disilke :of sevoral members of the Com- mittee, notably O, O. Stealoy, of the Neiy Albany district, who opposed his nomination very bitterly, and who. now proposes to get even with him by reducing his exchequer. Asan additional objection he claimed that ha would also bo culled upon to make a Nberal donatton to ench County Committes bestdes, so that, BY THE TIM TIE ELECTION WAR OVER he would be mulcted to the tune of $10,000 or $15,000, Tut these objections having no weight with tha Committee, Mr, Landers got mad, aworen round Presbyterian oath, and assigned the headquarters of the Com- “mittee to n place noted for Its torrid clinnte, After getting cooled off, however, and having advised with lita frionds, he eqneluded that discretion was the better part of yalor, and so ho drew his cheek to-day for the sum as atuted above. Why the Committes should assess Landers $8,500’ this year, when it let Williams off in 1878 with the paymont of $1,900, Is not clear, untess thot, realizing the sitiution of affairs, the Democracy seo no othor way to sueceed oxcept by buying thelr way fn. ‘Tho Democrats State Committee havo rented four parlors In the Bates Housq for headquarters durlng the remainder of the enmpilgn, ‘This is regarded: very oxtrava- cant and wuniecessary, but with assessments ike that of Landers the Committe feels thut Atcan afford to be extravagant. _ THE DEMOCRATIC OPENING, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Daxvinre, I, duly 20,--A private letter from Willinn HL, English states that the Ine dunnpolls Democracy propose to open thelr ia on Saturday, Aug. 14, by @ roustis meeting inevery county inthe State, Among the ‘linols Democrats invited to speak on that ovcasion are dumes ©, Robinson, An- drew J.
