The people Of Bedford county in fa-
vor Of turning the Radicals out of Of
flee, met in the Court House, on Mon
day evening last, in overwhelming
numbers. Democrats and "RepubIi-
cans" from all parts of the county,
were in attendance. The Court room,
and jury rooms adjoining, the aisles,
the vestibule, and every available inch
of standing room, were occupied and
many were compelled to remain out
side, not being able to effect an ent-
rance. An imprOmptu delegation was
gotten up by the gallant and indefati-
gable Democracy of SchelIsburg and
Napier, which presented a good ap-
pearance as it entered town. The
meeting was called to order by the APP
pointment of HON. JOS. B. NOBLE,

HON. T. NJ. KIMMELL, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, in this
district, was then introduced to the
meeting as the first speaker. Judge
Kimmell proceeded to show how Radi-
calism had forced Negro Suffrage upon
ten States of the Union, at the point
of the bayonet, in time of profound
peace, at an expense of nine hundred
and fifteen millions of dollars for the
army and navy, onc-third of the pub
lie debt. He advocated the Democrat
ic Seymour doctrine of paying off the
public debt as speedily as possible, in
grcenbacks where gold is not specified
in the contract He also advocated
the taxing of Government Bonds, and
one currency for all, the lab0rer and
the capitalist, the speculator and the
farmer, the pensioner and the bond
holder. He dissected the eXtraVa-
gance of the Radical gold pen and pen
knife Congress, until its corruptions
and thefts of the peoples money were
exposed to the gaze of every man who
chooses to open his eyes and sec. Judge
Kimmell's arraignment Of the Radical
leaders, was one of the most effective
efforts we have ever listened to. The
Judge was frequently interrupted by
the plaudits of the audience, and when
he retired from the stand, he was
greeted with such cheers as only Dem
ocrats know how to give.
HON. CHARLES II. SHRINER,
of Union county, was then introduced
to the audience. He began by stating
that he was one of those men who had
voted for Abraham Lincoln in 1864,
and that his Republican" friends
would remember that he made speech
es for andrew G. Curtin, in Bloody
Run, Bedford and Schellsburg, in 1868.
But he was one of those Lincoln men
who could not go with Radicalism to
its present extremes, and who intend
to cast their votes for the patriot states
men, Seymour and Blair. He said
that he had come to this conclusion
from the fact that the "Republican"
party had violated every pledge they
made to the people during the war.
