Friend Red belle e I am safe in saw
ing that Rome can claim the credit of Or
ganizing the first Hayes club in Ashta-
bula Co., which was done last Thursday
evening. The Hon. W. P. Rowland of JEFF
ferson was present to assist. Forty names
were subscribed to the constitution and
the following officers were elected. J.R.
Reeve, President, Henry c. Ackley, Vice
Prest-, A. W. Stiles, Secretary and Capt.
L. c. Reeve, Treasurer. At no time since
the election of 1868 has there been 50
much interest manifested in State can
Vass. The people are determined that
the full republican vote of the township
shall be polled. They begin to realize
that the general apathy of the past two
years lost the State to the Republicans
and are completely disguised with that
general, and hence have fully determin-
ed to rally around the standard of Gen.
Hayes, and under his leadership feel con-
fident of victory. After the organization
OF the club, Mr.. Howland took the floor
and for an hour briefly and pointedly re-
viewed the questions now being discuss
ed by the two political parties, and gave
short history of the candidates now be-
fore the people The Republicans here
are united on the financial questions, and
are very decided IN their opposition to
any and all attacks made by the Pope of
Rome and his minions up on our free in
stitutions. After Mr.. Howland, Rev. Jo-
seph Chester, of Cincinnati, spoke a few
minutes on the necessity of the people be-
ing awake 10 the open ASA ults of the Ro-
man hierarchy upon our school system
He is an earnest and eloquent speaker.
His lecture on "The Bncroac hments of
Romanism on our Free Institutions" is
the most interesting one we ever listened
to upon that subject He has given his
undivided attention TO the subject for the
past few years, and has an array of facts
and figures which are truly appalling.
F. A Smith, of Windsor, was present
and spoke of the Importance of full
vote being polled at the ensuing election.
Dea Chester, who was so badly injured
by ki9k from horse, recently, is able
to ride out.
Sam'l Stillman got his hand badly in
jurcd, last week. by being caught in the
engine at the cheese factory, at the Cen
Ter.
The Y. NJ. c. A, recently organized in
this township, have fitted up parlor, in
the Congregational church in beautiful
manner, and the same was dedicated last
Sabbath. The dedication services were
conducted by H. A. Sherwin, of Cleve-
land, assisted by Walter c. TIsdel, of
Painesville. The services were very I'M
pressiYe and interesting. MACK.
