large and orderly assemblage; from the time

disposition to leave, even after the meeting

In the evening the headquarters Of the
Seventh District Ritchie Club was crowded.
DR.. shaw, OF Uniontown, was introduced to
| the audience by the President, Col. W. W.
! Dallas, and his speech was listened to with
marked attention. We congratulate the DR..

! that the end of the campaign is So close, as we
believe il he were to repeat his speech on that
occasion in every district in the county, there
| would be many converts to the Democratic
party. Gen. Latrobe and Hon. Thos. Swami,
each addressed the meeting. We regret our
inability to give n synopsis Of the various

sition see ned to be as deeply interested in the
| truths uttered by each as the unterriGed.
