THE CAMPAIGN.
TYLER COUNTY.

Grand Democratic Mass Meeting mt
Baskes Picnic mt niddIebourne, Sat
urday, Sept. 5ih-2OOO Person
Present.
Saturday will long be remembered b!
the Democrats and Conservatives o
Tyler county. The day was beautiful
and the turnout to the Basket Picnl'
of cid and young-of ladies and gentle
men-far exceeded anything of the kind
ever before seen in the county. The
flags, banners and devices, for neatness
appropriateness and display, woult
have done credit to any community
Among the many notices were:
"No Military Union" 1
"Tax the Bondholders."
"One Currency for all"
-"White Mans Government"
"White Superiority-Negro Interiors
ty."
."Free Government and constitutional
Union"
"Pay the Bonds in Greenbacks."
mo Carpet-Baggers in Congress"
Prominent among others, was nag
with the full sized likeness of Washing
ton, with the word "COnstitution," in
large letters.
The meeting was held in beautiful
grove near the town, and was believed
to number fully 1000 people. 1t was
organized by Gen. Boyers, upon whose
motion Col. d. D. Johnson was chosen
President, and one Vice President was
selected for each Township. Captain
Patton was made Secretary.
The people were addressed by Col.
Ben. Wilson, Presidential Elector at
Large, Hon. r. Z. Chambers and j. X,
Morris of Ohio, and Col. Johnson. The
speeches were enthusiastically received.
Vaas' Brass Band from Wheeling was
present and added greatly to the pleas
ure of the occasion.
Taking it altogether, this was one OF
the best, most enthusiastic and largest
meetings yet held in the State during
this campaign. The people seemed sur
prised at themselves that such splen-
did meeting assembled; and of course,
they were happy and jubilant.
There were many Republicans in the
meeting, who conducted themselves
with marked propriety. They, and
their wives, and their daughters, were
invited, were welcomed when they
came, and were treated in most re-
spectful manner. ..
A few of the more intolerant Radicals
disciples of the gospel of hdte-came
to town also, but instead of attending
the great meeting, as all had been in
vited to do, they went yelling through
the streets like savages, and then re-
treated to the woods, to hold, we gu
pose, 4 pow-wow Of their own.
Let the ball roll on, and "Let us have
peace"

GENERAL GARFIELD, of Ohio, recent
ly made a speech in which he indicated
policy for General Grant, who, it will
be remembered, has publicly assured
the people that he has none of his own.
He declared that it was the intention OF
Grant. if elected, and of the Radical
majority in Congress, to govern the
country by the help of "a little triaagG-
lar piece of steel, called 6dyonet." Gar
field has thus unwittingly let the cat
out of the bag. He says the Radicals
mean "war" and military despotism,"
and, of course, Grant will be as easily
moulded to their bloody will as clay in
the hands OF the potter.
Mark where his carnage and his oonquests
cease!
He makes a solitude, and calls it--peace!

SOME TINE ago the Grant Tanner"

SOME TINE ago the Grant Tanner
clubs of the West advertised for Demo
cratic pits. The Democrats of Ken
tucky gave them 10000 stout pelts;
Montana sent an increase of 2400. Or
egon supplied them with 1900, and Ida
no with from 600 to 500. This being o
little larger stock than these enterpris-
ing skinners were able to manage or
pay for, they have withdrawn their ad-
Vertisements, and have wisely conclud-
ed that Democratic pelts are more plen-
tiful than they had supposed. Vermont
is an odd skin, and not worth much.

Republicans Estimate of Maine.

Mr.. Fcsseuden expresses the opinion
that the Republican majority in Maine,
in the approaching State election, will
be increased 10000, while Mr.. Blaine is
of the opinion that it will be increased
at least $1,000. Both of these gentle
men having displayed rare judgment in
former estimates, their opinion may be
regarded as something more reliable
than mere guess work. The Republi-
can majorities in Maine, from 1860 to
lSG7, were as follows: 1860, 4,5Oi for
President; lSG4, 1880 for Governor,
1902 for President: 1865, 22,25l; lSGG,
% ,GS7, and in 1867, l1,6l4.

DISPATCHES are being ailyforwarded

DISPATCHES are being daily forwarded
from Washington to prepare the public
mind for the unpleasant announcement
of another heavy increase of the public
debt as will appear by the statement for
August. The amount of increase indi-
Gated is only five or six millions! And
this while it has been given out since
Congress adjourned that the receipts OF
revenue from all sources were extraor-
dinarily large. Besides the regular re-
sources of the Treasury, large sales of
government property, especially OF
naval vessels for which We have little
use as our commerce las nearly disap-
peared from Che seas, are being con-
stantly made. Thus dispatch from
New York few days ago announced
sales at the Brooklyn navy yard as fol-
lows: .-....- .... .-... 1Ts

Sales of millions upon millions Of
army and navy property since the close
of the war have swollen the receipts of
the Treasury in this way. Bat still the
debt increases. Let us, however, wait
for Mr.. MCCULLoCH's statement.

EXAMINATION OF A SELECT SCHOOL,
The semi-annual examination of
the Select School of Misses Hooker
and Hough was held on yesterday
That the public fully appreciate the
character of the school could be seen
from the large number of visitors,
especially in the afternoon when the
smaller classes had to be dismissed.
to afford a sufficient number of seats
for strangers. The recitations, as a
general rule, were. good; some were
very good, indeed. In some Of the
higher branches, a knowledge and
power of memory was exhibited that
many collegiates might envy. The
scholars seemed not only ready but
anxious to recite-a spirit rarely man
f ested. Many classes that the teacher
wished to excuse were examined on
account Of the importantly Of the
scholars Music, either1vocal or in
str1mental, by the members of the
school, followed every recitation, and
it's due to the practice of the must
clans and the proficiency OF their
teachers to say that their perform
ancesT would have Ilreaected credit
upon much older persons. The con-
slant fnaaifestations of applause could
but please the performers.
A word may be fifty spoken of the
disposition and energy Of the two
teachers who conduct the school. One
was made to govern boys, the other
to lead girls, and in their appropriate
spheres they work. Their success in
the past and the present condition of
the school speak praises intheir be-
half. The scholars, as a compliment
to their services, presented tokens of
regard in the form of a silver basket
to Miss Hough,s aud a beautiful ring
to Miss Hooker. Appropriate res
ponses we've made by the favored.
Miss Mollie Ragon received a prize for
Improvement in writing.
