Abolitionist Rally Draws Women and Doubtful Turnout
The county abolitionists held a large campaign rally in the city at Ewing's Grove with a procession of ninety seven teams. Speakers were scarce and undistinguished, led by Judge Test and Ensel of Van Wert, while Morton and Brough were expected to speak tomorrow. Officials questioned the turnout as many attendees were women and children, and the crowd count lagged behind the previous Democratic gathering. The War Department notice announced a proposed three year draft with Ohio Indiana Illinois Iowa and Wisconsin offering infantry, to be raised within twenty days, no bounty, and standard pay and equipment.
