The Greeley Fizzle at Freeport Meeting
A Chicago Tribune informant reports a Freeport Democratic rally for Trumbull and Koerner with a large outdoor crowd, yet local observers say the turnout was small. The procession counted 110 voters in the forenoon and 207 men plus 105 boys and 40 girls in the evening, while several thousand outside did not fill the Opera House. Germans split on Greeley, supporting Koerner but not boosting Greeleyites. speakers defended Grant, and claims of 6,000–10,000 attendees were dismissed as exaggeration. A baby show fundraiser drawn torches and chants for Greeley and Grant. A Maine result is cited as 18,182 Republican majority.
