0 - Eastside Republican Club - Early History of Detroit Republicans
The Republican party, organized at Jackson in 1854, was the first to make use of regularly officered political companies. They were uniformed in caps and capes, and being well drilled, presented an attractive appearance. Many thousands of them came together in Detroit on October 2 to attend a State Republican meeting, which was held on a vacant lot now occupied by the Central Methodist Episcopal Church. These were the days of bonfires and fireballs, and often several cords of wood were burned on the Campus Martius, whole barrels of rosin giving brilliancy to the flames. The active help of mischievous boys could always be counted upon to add fresh fuel to the pile; and woe to the unlucky merchant who had left boxes or barrels in sight, for they were confiscated at once, and the huge pyramids and the hopes of many candidates went up in smoke together. Both parties eventually availed themselves of drilled torch-bearers, whose manœuvres enlivened the campaign, as they marched to “ranch” or “wigwam.” During the campaign of 1860, when Lincoln was running for his first presidential term, there was a great Republican meeting, held on September 4, at which thirty-five hundred Wide-Awakes were on parade. In the evening the multitude listened to a speech from Hon. William H. Seward. On the fifteenth of the following month, an immense Democratic throng gathered to hear an address from Hon. Stephen A. Douglass, the “Little Giant” of Illinois, and candidate for the presidency. ~ by Silas Farmer
