the ''Grecian Bend. 1t was nsw In Cadiz
and erpensiire to IMPORT A MASS
| MEETING from the city OF Stevbenville.
II was on the. second evening of our
County Fair, too, and there are every year,
several hundred strange, S trom abroad who
stay over night in our village that they
/ may witness the Fair cn the THIRD day.
Some ten days previous to the meeting a
a gentlemen arrived from Washington city,
bringing with him fluids for the demoRsta-
tons, and also to hi5e and buy votes. We
could not understand, Of course, the exact
! amount, but kaowing Radicals winked slyly
at each other, and whisper among therl,
| selves that it was TEN T THOUSAND
DOLLARS. Think ofit, Taxpayers, ten

fare for six hundred would be $720, 90,
Entertainment at Hotels would be $500, co.
FIRE works. transparencies and printing
wosald be $400, 90 more-and other msScel-
lseepes accidental expenses would make the
bill for that one demonstration over sepen-

might not think that great amount but
the taxpayers will have TO- sweat for it, and
lit will be no small amount to them.

Of the notices. they we're certainly
: coarse attempts at wit IN bad taste-the
offspring Of week and valgarmind. We
noticed one caficature of Bingham cutting
off the heads Of Democratic roosters; we
supposed this to be an allusiont to the

In Ill truthfuiness, Bingham made tb'

his puerile notliings. He rallied at Equa

! and thought that his Wool Tariff, by whicl
the wool growers Of Harlson County lose

: He as ,erted that it had been three thous'

of the Treasury makes monthly statements
of the conditiOnof the debt, and from then
: we find that the debt has been increased
