perse With Subdued Feeling.

The Hayes Meeting, W. ich was
SO extensively advertised during tho
past three weeks, camo off ut the
appointed time, on last Wednesday.
About throe hundred men, women
and children from the country, n
bout one hundred of whom were
Democrats, made tReir appearance
IN town IN good season. Governor
Hayes arriycd here about eleven
o'clock, A. NJ, aud was very quietly
taken to the Central House for din.
ner. After dinner the services of
the silver c0rnet band were called
in, and Hayes was escorted to the
Grove. About five hundred per-
sons, counting men, women and
children, were assembled there; aud
aftcr the usual prolminarics IN o.
pening u political meeting, Govern =
or Rutherford B. Hayes, us he takes
great satisfaction in calling him
self, stepped forward and began his
address.
He began by holding mp Andrew
J0hnsOn's Administration MS the
quintessenoe ofrottonness, and tried
to make it appear that II was a
Democratic Administration-for-
getting that Andrew johnson was
shorn Of all power by tho Rump
Congress, and was thereby unable
to put any Democratic ideas into
effect.in the administration of Ma
tional atIaIrs.
Next, he eulogized tho economy
OF Grants administration 80 far
pralsing the ability the Secretary of
tho Treasury IS displaying in caus.
ing tightnoss in tho money market,
and causing such general dopres-
sion IN trade that assignments and
bankruptcy arc but every day oc-
curronces.
Next, he seelns TO be glad that we
have a National debt that necessi-
tates a Revenue tax on ali kinds of
labor and all articles of consump-
tlon-glad, we say, because it af,
fords a chance for little revenge
ON the Johnny Rebs who have to
labor and 20 use these articles of
consumption In connection with
The Johnnys, he made hit at the

He said 1t done him good to see

in that forced TO pay off a great
portion Of tho debt. Thi- was the
only Int we noticed that he made al
the Prohibition party,
He had considerable to say about
the Ohio Legislature. The last Rc,
publican Legislature increased the
salary of members Of the Legisla
ture to five dollars a day and as a
consequence, the expenses of tho
two last sessions were greater than
heretofore. Further, Governor
Hayes, himself, recommended the
passage Of certain laws which wo'd
increase the burdens of taxation;
and Col. F. b. Pond, the present Re-
publican candidate for Attorney
General, introduced, advocated the
passage of, and voted for certain
bills which greatly increases the
burdens of taxatIon--ail these acts,
which terminated IN placing un-
wholesome laws in tho statute books
of Ohio, was deprecated by Gov.
Hayes.

so hard upon your old comrade IN

But after all is said, wo have a
kind of a warm feeling for Governs
or Hayes. He evidently recognizes
the action OF the Peoples County
Convention as the correct thing
io says the people of OHIO cannot
stand tho increased taxation that
will cnsue from local improvements,

In conclusion, Gov. Hayes advi>

llo evidently does not look on his
election as a sure thing.
At tue close of tho speech, the
band was called upon for music, af.
