Henry Republicans Hold Last Grand Rally for Year
The Henry county Republicans held their final rally Friday night after a large Democrats gathering. Dr P H Cronin of Chicago spoke from a carriage in front of Geo Scholes Jr’s store and urged Irish voters to back the Republican ticket. A 780 strong procession included clubs from Whitefield Saratoga Putnam and Henry, with 70 from Chillicothe and Spring Bay. The parade featured a broom brigade of 50 women and a wagon with 88 white clad young ladies. The Grey Eagle boat brought 150 torchbearers and campaign groups, with bands and a cannon salute. Speeches praised the American system of protection, contrasted with Britain’s free trade, and urged support for Jim and Jack. The event closed with two grand rallies combining both major parties in a town of notable spectacle.
