The Democracy tired of Sample Clark.
From the Bellaire Advertiser - 3..3s'
Political Speaking. Mr.. r. S. Clark
Of Morristowh, delivered Democratic
speech to a very small audience at the
Cits Hall, on Tuesday night last. 1t
was, perhaps, the smallest audience we
think ever greeted a public speaker of
any kind IN our town. The weather
was unfavorable, and q great many peo
pie did not know anything at all about
it, and more than tiiut, the people are
tired of being hurnbugged 10y these
speech making gentlemen. THEY are
going to do their own voting without
listening to what party shall, or may
say aud do about matters and things Il
Dir. CLARK is well posted in party his

his adversaries. His style is too tienufi-
