RADICAL TACTICS.

The Democrats and Conservatives OF
Triadelphia township had splendid
gathering at the town of Triadelphia,
on SATURDAY., 20th inst. The meeting
was decidedly the largest ever held in
the place, and the proceedings could
not fail to promote the success OF the
cause in that vicinity. As previously
announced in the REGISTER, free
train for tho accommodation OF persons
desiring to attend the meeting, left the
Hempfield Depot ut 1:30 L. NJ. Promptly
at the hour named a large crowd, filling
five cars to their utmost capacity, en-
barked upon the train provided Tor
their reception, and left the city AMID
the acclamation of large numbers OF
spectators of both sexes. who lined the
route.
Arriving mt Triadelphia Station, the
Wheeling delegation was warmly re-
ceiyed by the immense throng of Demo
Gratis and Conservatives who had assem-
bled on massc to participate in the eXer-
cises. Several bands of music were In
attendance, and their inspiring strains
contributed greatly to enliven the oc,
casion. An organization was effected
by appointing b. 5. Good, Esq, Presl-
dent, and Mr.. W. II. Stclle Secretary.
The President then announced Col. B.
n. Smith. OF Kanawha, rs the first
speaker.
OF Colonel SMITHS address we are
unable to make any extended report,
but it will be sufficient to say that the
effort was one of his best and happiest.
The points ut issue between the two po-
litical parties of the country were stated
with fairness and concisencss, and dis
cussed with such force and clearness
as indicated that the acntencss
of the sneakers intellect was in no way
impaircd by the arduouS and constant
labors of the campaign. Col. SMITH was
followed by j. w. PARKER, ESD, of this
CITY. in n brief. but eloquent and power
tnl speech Mr.. PARKER has justly
earned high reputation as one OF onr
foremost and most effective speakers,
and his effort upon this occasion fully
yindicated his claim to the position ac-
corded him as an orator and debater.
Colonel j. G.. Lane. of Wetzel caunty,
being called for, took the stand ut the
conclusion of Mr.. Parker's address. The
Colonel proceeded to a consideration OF
some subjects connected with onr State
notifies, and exposed iii a scathlng man
ner the iniouities of our legislation.
His references to Governor Boreman's
administration were as severe rs they

| addresses cannot fail To have telling
effect upon the coming election. Tie
! hour for adjournment having arrived,
the assembly dispersed i'll the greatest
enthusiasm and harmony, with renewed
faith in their principles, and with II

We had almost forgotten To say that
the Radicals had gathering of faith

through curiosity to listen to the Ohio
orator. With their usual generosity a
considerable number of our friends
went up to the Radical meeting, partly
to hear the distinguished importation,
and partly to enable the meeting to
make respectable showing i'll point of
numbers. T'ley report their faith I'M
