The Ohio Democracy — 123
The Cincinnati Commercial, in a report of a Vallandigham meeting at Carthage, Ohio, sets down what it calls “the barometrical register” of the meeting as follows:—“Nine a.m.—Invitations to drink are freely offered and accepted. Ten a.m.—Sober, but drinking. Eleven a.m.—Noisy and demonstrative; liquor becoming effective. Twelve a.m.—Generally ‘tight;’ pugnacity rising. One p.m.—Rather drunk; fights freely offered. Two p.m.—Quite drunk; black eyes in abundance—holders not very firm. Three p.m.—Very drunk; hacks and furniture-cars in demand. Four p.m.—D—cidedly drunk; too far gone to fight.”
