Pioneer Press: Forty thousand people assembled at Warren, Ohio, yesterday, at

| the great Republican demonstration. The j meeting was of the stalwart order. Gen. I Grant presided and Senators Conkiing | and Logan were the speakers. Gen. Grant's ! speech was a frank, shrewd and sensible • His statement of the reason why he is a

Republican is one of the mo.-t etloetive i utterances of the campaign. His arraign-j ment of the Democratic party as the par­

ty of sectionals m and injustice is a r> sary | of pointed epigrams. It is perhaps un- | charitable to remark that the spcech con- I taincd no reference to Gen. Garfield. Gen. Hancock was ignored in the same man­ner. It seems that Cen. Grant chose to discuss principles in stea l of men. 'I'll whole stalwart party went, from Warren to Mentor to pay their respects to Gen. Garfield. The consultation will probably under the circumstances be merely formal.
