WILSON AND GoTF
They spoke here on last Saturday.
Attendance good, considering the very
short notice. Gof claimed to be
the candidate of no particular
party which had no principles, or at least
if they had he failed to tell the people.
All he had to say was, 'down with all
rings and death to all cliGues" Well
that is exactly what the people Of Richie
think thst they are in favor Of breaking
up the ring of Stevenson and Company,
John J. Davis included. During Goff S
whole discussion, more properly hsrangue,
he never referred to National matters,
except the tax on tobacco and whisky,
and would not have said anything about
that, but for the fact that it no doubt oc-
cupied the highest place TO his heart.
He was very bitter in his denunciation
of the Legislature and County Court.
He stecred we'll the course marked out
for him by his ring master ex-Gover-
nor Stevenson, which was mot 70 say
anything about National matters"
but GO for State matters and
the County Court. He seemed to
be wonderfully exercised over the treat
ment which honest John J. Jacob las ne
called him) had received, not only at the
hands of the Legislature, but also the
Supreme Court. He concluded as he
began, Down on all rings and death to
sll cliques." He proclaimed that as
speech, ard could say nothing else.
Col. Ben followed him, in which he
stated to his friend General Golf that he
had failed to tell the people what he was
in favor Of or who were this ring, and to
what party he belonged; in fact, said the
1T your subject had have had
he small pox, you, General Goff, would
not have caught it." 1t WAS to b. re-
gretted that the Colonel was lsboring
under SO severe cold that he could
hardly stand up, being 40 prostra,ed and
worn out from its effects that immedi-
ately after the speaking he was COM
PEELED TO go to bed and
call in physician. Nevertheless,
laboring under these Disadvantages he
showed up the co,7rtptio" and fraud of
the party in power at Washington, and
think the General will not want to meet
him soon again upon the hustlng. Al
ter tie Colonel was done camel. J. Davis
who was here for the purpose of playing
second fiddle to Gof, although it Was
denied by the RAIDS that he was brought
here for that purpose, a. well as to vent
his malice on the Colonel yet the Wheel
ink Intelligencer of the 2sth of Septem-
Der, 1874, announces the fact that he was
% speak here-snd when You tell the
RAIDS that paper said so, they reply, "that
hat paper is always saying something il
ought not" 30 say We. Johnny proclaim
ID he was Calhoun Democrat,-nice
for Calhoun Democrat-nice
way for a Calhoun Democrat to do-ms-
ign, vilify and abuse the Democrae. Of
his District, all because they chose
% exercise the right Of free
men, and nominate some per
.on besides Jno. j. Davi, for
Congress, and because they did eN"r-
,rcise that right. A Calhoun Democrat,
IS he calls himself, turns his batteries
upon them in the interest of Republicans,
20 defeat Democrats. ! say away with
;uch men, and such Calhoun doctrine.
If that De Calhounism, the Lord deliver
ne from its snsrcs Ritchic will be all
light. We will elect our delegates from
his and Calhoun, anything which may
De- said u the contrary, notwithstanding,
