OUR Observation-Disclosures the
speakers of the Republican party have
neld meetings in this county they have
been well attended.
The meetings of Mr.. Danford at Ja-
cobsburgh. East Richland and Pleasant
Grove were large and enthusiastic meet
ings. Mr.. Bingham's meeting at Flush
irg was decided success. This meet
inc was one of the finest meetings ever
held in the place. Welday's Hall las
crowded at an early hour and many per-
sons were unable to get in. OF the
,speech of Mr.. Bingham we have heard
but one opinion, and that is, that it was
one of the finest efforts of his life. We
regret that, though the order was unusu-
alIy good. come of the JEFF. Davis blood
hounds who are ever ready to do the
dirty work Of a certain small headed
CLIQUE. could not leave the occasion pass
without a characteristic manifestation
and. lust after Mr. Bingham commenced
his speech. q huge stone was thrown at
one of the back windows fortunately
striking the sash and doing no other
harm than that of shattering the win
dow TO pieces Why is it that Democray
ever seeks to prevent free discussion py
such outrageous demonstrations?
The meetings which We nave held at
Wheeling Valley. Hendrysburg, Loyds-
vile, Lewis Mills and Morristown, have
been complete successes, SO lar as large
attendance and general interest are con-
cerned.
The Democratic meetings, on the other
hand are generally pretty thorough fall

The market, in Il geners2 way, continue dull,
and devoid of any new or important features
worthy of special notice. Notwithstan ling
there has been quite panic in the Chicago
wheat market for several days, during which
time prices have declined about 20c . bushel, our
mills here continue to take all the winter wheat
that offers at former prices. Flour is dull, but
old is unchanged, and the same is true OF choice
grades of new. Provisions firm, with a steady
business.

can report regular sales of prime to choice freeh

largely in excess of the demand; sales at from

influence of limited receipts, and prices are
maintained. ranging from So so to So 10 = b5l.

the decline at other points. Oats quiet and un-
changed at go in first hands and 63 to 81, for
small lots in store Corn is still quoted at 81 e6

in demand at 81 80 to 80 with little or none Of

WORK. woRKri woRK.r!

Our friends must go to work and keep
.at work, and then their work Will be
done in the right way and with the right
results, The following suggestions de-
serve the attention of every Republican
/. Form "a Grant Club at once in every
township, with an Independent organ
ization in each School district.
2 Get the name of every Grant and
Colfax voter in that district, and have
him a member of the Club, if possible.
8. Next. record the name of every
other voter ia said district, with every
one entitled to become or be made voter
before November Sd.
4. See that every one whe will read
Republican papers is provided with at
least one good one.
5. Make arrangements that Will rem
der the polling of an illegal vote in the
district morally impossible.
6. Take care that-no matter what may
be the weather-every Grant voter in
that district shall he at the polls before
noon of electio: day. and shall vote as
early as may he.
Z. Look out for the undecided or
wavering, that they may vote for us as

SHEEP AND LAMBs-As has been the case for
some time past, the supply was again very large
and mostly common in quality. and in poor

ply was light, were in good demand, and sold
readily at full prices, while common and lnferl-
or were exceedingly dull, with supply largely
excess of the demand. Some two or three droves
were taken fer shipment, and more would nave
been taken had it have been that they were not

Action OF the Independent Order OF GOOD
Templars on the Death OF Henry NJ.
Mitchell.
Another sad change of the toanb-buil-
der Timei
b How often of late, are We, as Ledge,
called to mourn;
Now the young, now the ageI, and
now again the young.
Bro. Henry NJ. Mitchell is dead.
He has hastened away at the call of
the reaLer-Death.
In looking at our Charter We see his
name written high among the list of
officers. He was one of the first to seize
the snowy banner and he died with it
in his grasp.
In the hour when our temple wes con-
secrated as a sacred shelter for the altars
of Faith, Hope and Charity, he was a
link in the chain that hung about those
affairs firmly, and at the hour of his
death his place was in the Circle OF
Unity" among US, one of us, our 61 other.
Therefore be it resolved,
Fist That in the death of our broth
er, sorrow fills our hearts that in the
first-fiush of manhood, in the Spring
time of his existence he has been called
away.
Truly life is but day,
Nolips can tell how brief its space.
Yet in going We can only feel that he
has gone to meet our LOUed in Heavtn.
"Thou art gone from us brother.
To regions more blest,
And light lie the earth;
On the place of thy rest,
Still with us lives the hope
All our errors forgiven
To meet thee once more
In the light of heaven.
Second To the relatives of our de-
parted brother we tender our warmest
sympathy, reminding them of the
gracious promise in the wOrld-"Cast
thy burden on the Lord and He shall
sustain thee; He shall never suffer the
righteous to be moved"
They should not forget that their son
and brother has escaped the sorrows and
vexations of this world, knowing that
"The Lord killeth and maketh alive
he bringeth down to the grave and
bringeth up" And they should have
abiding faith that God who has ever
protected him-has only called him home
to heaven
Third. That our Lodge-room be
draped in mourning for thespace of thirty
days.
Fourth. Thatan attested copy of these
resolutions be furnished to the family of
the deceased, that they be embodied in
the records of our Lodge and published
in the CHRONICLE and Gazette and
Temple Visitor. --r-

ANswERED.-At the Democratic meet
ing held at Sewellsville, Mr.. r. S. Clark
assured the audience that the "Black
Republican party had organized "ne-
gro Governments" in the Southern States
and had furnished them with arms
Had placed arms in the hands of the lib
Grated slaves He then asked, for what
purpose have these arms been sent
South?" An ex-soldier standing at the
door said, "when we elected Lincoln
your party caught us unprepared and got
up rebellion, we intend when we elect
Grant next November to be ready for
you"
The answer seemed to be pretty salts
factory to the aundience.
We would like to know of Mr.. Clark
on what authority he makes the state
ment that arms are being sent to these
reconstructed governments? An appli-
cation has recently been made by the
Governor of Louisiana for her quote of
arms and the Secretary of War informed
him that under laaU of Congress these
States were not allowed these arms, and
were not authorized to organize their
militia If Mr.. Clark is not aware of
this decision he ought to be. If he is
aware of it. What then?
