LOYAL mans face TO see the commander
Il of his army, the man who has earned
the place Grant occupies in his esteem,
made to succumb through the ballot
box to the men he defeated on the-b bat
tle.field. In three short years after the
war, you are called upon to make this
man, through your action, surren-

to whom he magnanimously grant
ed peace on the field of battle.
You are called upon to select instead
the man who must necessarily, from the
influences.th that have brought him before
the public as the candidate of his party,
should he be elected, fill his cabinet

old placein the Treasury he robbed?
These men would have to be represent

Government four years without war;
They would tell you at the next cleo

then Breckenridge or war. In 1872 it
would be JEFF Davis or Bob Lee or
war. This cannot he, this ought not to
be, this will not be. [Applause.l
After Mr.. Carlile had concluded, calls
were made for Hon, Benjamin Stanton,
who at length responding to them came
forward and made capital little
speech of half an hour, which was
cheered to the echo. We were unable
to prepare it in time for publication to-
day, but will print 1t in full tomorrow.
No meeting has yet been held that
was attended with such an exuberance
of good feeling as that of Saturday
evening. Mr.. Carlile's address as we'll
as that of Governor Stanton, gave great
satisfaction and was repeatedly cheered.
The audience sat delighted through the
whole evening, and would apparently
have been content tostay another hour.
After the speaking the Grant Glee Club
sang amid great applause vote for
Gen. Grant, ",and being encored, again
rendered "RIng, Ring the Bell" The
audience dispersed with many express
sions of satisfaction, all declaring 1t
was the best meeting of the campaign,
and would do great deal of good.

The Wheeling Register has the auda-
city to say there were %. 600 people at
the Klux demonstration on Wheel
ing Island last Thursday. The process
sion in passing through the streets,
was carefully counted by a Main street
merchant, and he made $50 persons in
all, men, women and children, boys
and girls. Another gentleman count
ed, and reported 2,olo. 1t would be
large estimate to say that :, 5OO persons
were in the. procession, and larger
one TO say that $500 persons were on
the Fair Ground at any one time, and
we doubt that there were as many as
$500 voters.
The Register came within 10000 or
II 600 OF the truth.
THE Pennsylvania carpet-baggers
who now run the Clarksburg ConserVa-
tivc 'tare constrained to suggest that
"whsther any Of as shall be white men
"and free men depends on the success
''of the Conservative Democratic party
Eat the next elections"
We are ut a. loss to know just what
this may mean. We supposed the car
et-baggers aforesaid were white men,
but If not. how is the result OF the cleo.
tions going to affect their cuticle? Can
any mere election enable the Ethiopian
to change his skin or the leper his
spots no
And who are enslaving these gentle
carpet-baggers2 The statute of West
Virginia made and provided, &C., de-
clares that within her boundaries shall
be neither slavery not involuntary
servitude except in punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been,duly convicted. WHO'S restrain

that our friend Ross, of Clarksburg,
who keeps the Harrison county hotel,
has these fellows under lock and key2
