The Mass Meeting.

The project for Mass Meeting in this County,
to be beld on the 1e h inst. has taken deep and
powerful hold of the minds Of the people. So

they are determined to put themselves, next Octo-

and general, we We ud not conceal from ourselves

suredly will. that the movement is one of entire
fairness and philanthropy.
Let no wise man, then, be staggered or disturb
ed by any ssory statement. however specious or
oily, from any source ,0hatcuer prior to the ConVen

The Convention is to be one emphatically, of the

of the Peoples Union movement in Columbiana

"the calls for Peoples Union Nominating Con-

unanimously signed by the liberal portion of all

matters in this county, or know the reason why"
The Buckeye also pertinently says:
We feel it duty that we We to the people of
this county and the dearest interests Of society to
to call their attention the absolute necessity of
acting as becometh freemen in this matter. There
is legislation wanted by the interests of this State,
which it is in vain to look for from the present
party in power. The people Of this County and
State have appealed 10 that power and trusted it
too long. Our importunties and prayers must
now be thrown into tangible shape-a practical
shape, and shape that will tell upon the desines
of future generations. There is every attempt
