| hepofteo Jor ue CHfOntcte.
The Democratic Club of Washington
Township, were addressed on last even
ing Friday, Aug. 2l,) by "Unbounding
influence" Umstead and Co. After
whispering about in the corners for some
length of time; Mr.. Morgan Pugh, Sr.,
was chosen Chairman of the meeting,
who introduced a boy from Little York
by the name of Robb. 1t would be in
truding upon the readers of THE CHRON
ICLE to give his speech in full, however.
The Boy came forward and said his
speech. Mr.. Umstead being called upon
made quite display OF watch guards
and white handkerchiefs. 1t seemed to
be great trouble for George TO read mum

influence seemed to be very anxious to
say his speech. He was attended to with
water, and all the little necessaries which
would enable him to go off in full blast.
Hear him. Ladies and Gentlemen and
Felier-Citizens: L appear before you on
the political rostrum of the day. 1t is
not my intention to enter into the dis
cussion of the great questions of the day
to any extent. The first thing | shall

ladies of Richland Township, to the
Democrats of Washington Township for
sending up the greatest democratic gain
in the County last fall. Now, gentlemen:

that the so-called Editor of THE BEL
MONT CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE has been
publishing through its editorial columns,

from the County seat by Unbounding
influence, that it was carried up to the
garret loft by Unbounding influence.
and there secreted for the time being

of concentrated lye. / told them to go
into the house and get two numbers of
THE CHRONICLE, burn them and put the
ashes into the kettle. They hooted at
the idea. Do as / tell you, and if it does
not have the desired effect, will 90 to
the StOre anu Duy the lyt. They did as
| directed, and what was the result p
The next thing L found, they were
hunting more soap grease, the I've had
become too strong. / told them that
could easily tix.that matter. Myilittle boy
had gathering in his ear, and | had got
some Niger wool and put it into his ear
as preventive. L took this wool and
put it into the kettle, and the result was
we had u good kettle of soap. Now Fell
Ter Citizens: So much for that part of
my discourse.
