House, in Clarion, on Tuesday even.
ing last.
~ LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.
General White then came forward
and addressed the meeting in his usual
eloquent style The speaker, during
his discourse, discarded all the dead
issues of the past, and in careful
manner stated and discussed at length
the issues of the day, at the same time
endeavoring TO enforce upon the audi.
ence the Importance of carefully study.
ing those issues SO that they might be
enabled to go to the polls and cast
their ballots in manner truly becom-
ing American citizens. The speaker
then defined his position as a Republi-
cans He did not beg for the votes of
the Republican party, as politicians
are generally wont to do, but he frank.
ly asked the voters OF Clarion county,
irrespective of parties, to carefully con.
slider the issues of this campaign, and
to more carefully consider what action
would be best and safest for the welfare
of this great Republic. The speaker
continued throughout his discourse to
discuss the live issues in true states
manlike manner, always appealing to
the intelligence of hearers. In closing
he hoped that every man present and,
in fact, every voter in the district,
would study the issues aud vote hon
estly and intelligently, and by so do.
ing he assured them that the State,
district and county tickets of the Re.
publican party would be unanimously
elected in November next. In conclu-
sion General, White thanked the intel.
llgent and oppreciative audience for
their kind attention, and then retired
amidst the most profound and enthusi-
astic applause.
AND THEN on THIS.
G. w. Arnold introduced General
Harry White, who entertained the au-
dience with speech an hour and a
half long. We intended giving the
points Of his remarks, but could dig
cover none. For plausible, smooth
and sophistical talker when ban.
ccmbe speech is needed TO kill time
White is the man to wind up and set
running, but in close logical argument
and vigorous debate he fails. His audi.
ence knew him by reputation as an
orator, but few had ever heard him.
and many have been the expressions of
disappointment, for he really seemed
faboring with difficulty, aud did not
even do average justice to himself
We ask all people of any party
whatsoever, if it is possible Tor two
honest men Of good common sense to
attend meeting, and differ honestly
to such an extent as the above extracts
would have us believe. The first ex.
tract is from the Republican, and the
second from the Democrat, both pub.
lished in the moral town of Clarion.
The first makes out that Gen. White
sustained his reputation as an eloquent
and forcible political speaker. The
second would have us believe that
Harry White, a man known and ac-
knowledged all over the State as an
able statesman, rapid thinker, and
profound speaker, made speech, the
opening speech of his campaign, too,
which would disgrace a school boy!
Mr. Brown, we wish to impress on
your mind a commandment, which, ifI
you have ever learned, you seem to
have forgotten, viz:-"Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neigh
bor." DO you ever think, Mr.. Brown
that your zeal for Democracy exceeds
your love of the truth, and has made
you, time and again, violate the ninth
of God? Reflect on
your sins, and retract your false wit
ness againstyour neighbor, and you
may in time be within reach of mercy
and pardon. Recollect that
'While yet the lamp holds out to burn,
The viiest sinner may return"
