The REPUBLICAN, QUALIFICATION LAST
NIGHr.-The Republicans OF Wheeling
last night celebrated the victory Of Hayes
in Ohio by a rousing iolli6cation meeting
in the Court House, Schreiner's brass
band discoursed stirring strains OF music,
and together with the changing Of the
Court House bell drew an immense
crowd Of people. About u o'clock Mr.,
], Kemple arose and called the meeting
to order, when an organization was et'
sected by the election Of DR.. +, w. Haz-
lett US President, and VIM. +, Peterson as
Secretary.
Col. {. L. Poorman, OF Bellaire, was
then introduced and delivered ringing
speech upon the most important issues
involved in the Ohio canvas, He spoke
for about thirty minutes, and was FREE
quently interrupted by tumultOus ap-
plause. The Colonel is a poignant pO-
iitical speaker, and denounced the Demo-
cratic platform and candidates Of his
State in scathing terms. Abiding
to Uncle William, the "tall hickory
OF the Ohio Democracy" he asked what
other party, in the name OF heaven, would
ever think Of putting such man before
the people as candidate for Governor
a man who has for years been on the
brink Of the grave-a man who is now, Us
his history will prove, in his dOtage 2"
Allen had said that he would get ma
iority Of 10000, and some Of the old
mans friends had told him they were
confident he would get $4,000, The old
man had Faithfully believed in his cleo
ton by an overwhelming majority, but
the people wanted honest money and free
schools, and Uncle William was sent
back to his "Fruit Hill farm" never
again to be resurreCted by the American
people. Speaking Of Sham Cary, whom
he termed roaring blaIherskite, the
speaker remarked that il was indeed u
subject Of generalization that he had
been laid on the shelf. He then pro-
ceeded to illustrate the various dcma-
gogical tricks rcsOrted to by the blatant
Shalnuel when addressing an audience Of
workingmen. The manner in which the
late Democratic candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor of Ohio was shown up and
handled by the speaker was highly rel
ished by the crowd, who were evidently in
the habit Of looking upon Cary's various
eyolutions as a fair subject Of ridicule
and contempt, Bhndy, the manufaCt-
urer, who stumped the State for soft
money, did not escape criticism. The
speaker had heard Blandy address an au-
dienCe at Zanesyille, Ohio, during the
late campaign, and described the manner
In which that gentleman appealed to the
sympathies OF his hearers. lie said that
BIandy drew the most desOlate picture Of
starvation and want that he had ever
heard; the wOrkingmen were told that
they were out Of employment, in want,
and starving, Just because the nasty Re-
publican party was in power. But upon
looking through that Zanesville audience
no saw no evidence Of want; the men were
we'll dressed, and did not look hungry.
But this was only a specimen Of the DEM
agogism used by the Democracy in the
campaign. Their arguments had never
struck above the waistband, but always
at the pocket or the paunCh. lie then
proceeded to explain how the issue OF
more paper money would make rich men
richer and poor men poorer, and re-
ierrcd to the difference in opinion exist.
ing between the Democrats OF the East
and West upon this subject, As to who
was responsible for the lack Of confidence
in commercial circles, he thought
those who ran about the country
drawing terrible pictures Of starvation
and want were the guilty parties, and
we're the cause Of men OF means
holding their money so tightly. The
Republican party had by many been held
res ponsible Tor the late financial panic,
but was the Democratic party exempt
from panics while in powerY It's history
would prove otherwise. Looking back q
few years hc alluded to several paniCs
during Democratic administrations,
notably during the administration Of
James Buchanan, during the latter part
OF which the Democrats in power had
carried off everything they could
lay their hands on, and tried TO carry of
the Government itself. lie thought that
Pennsylvania would fall into line and that
the Republican partyin 1870 would keep
step to the music Of the Union and elect
their candidate for the Presidency. The
speaker then thanked the audience for
their attention, and took his seat amidst a
perfect storm Of applause.
DR.. Junkins, Of Bellaire, was then called
upon and spoke for few moments, ex.
pressing his satisfaction at the result over
the river. In the course OF his little
speech lie related several amusing anec.
dotes. lie apOlogized for the non.appear-
ance OF Hon. Lorenzo Danford, who had
been prevented from speaking by severe
hoarseness.
lie was followed by Messrs. G. r..
Thompson, J. Kemple, B. d. Dovcner and
John X. Hubbard. The latter thought
that the Ohio Democracy should be con-
graduated upon their victory-they had
come forward and squarely met two Of the
greatest issues Of the day-the currency
question and the question OF Catholic
Interference in the public schools.
lie was glad 10 see that they
had abandoned the old resolutions Of 'OS
and 80, and stepped forward 10 face the
Issues Of the hour. They had ceased
their hostility to the colored man, and
now looked upon him as q man and
voter, and were eager to obtain his assist
ance. Mr.. IIubbard's remarks were re.
ceivcd with applause, "a were also the
efforts OF the speakers who preceded him.
Before the meeting adjourned three
rousing cheers were given for the Ohio
victory, md three more for Colonel Poor.
man.
A piece OF artillery was stationed on
the lower end Of the wharf near the B. 4
o. depot, and one hundred guns were fired
during the evening in honor Of the popu.
lar Governor Of Ohio, Hon. Rutherford
B. Hayes.
