meeting. 1t Is very llDeral eslliiiale "
saw that the attendance was about one
fourth as large as that Of the Democratic
meeting, held on the same ground last
Wednesday evening, and that, too, after
every exertion that could be made had
been put forth BY the leaders of the party
to drum up big crowd. The Heather
ington band was hired, and paraded the
streets in II band wagon, dlscOursing
sweet music Streamers were attached
TO the wagon bearing the announcement
in large letters, "Dantord tonight" a
spccIal train Of cars WAS sent from Bell
aire to bring down and take home again
free of charge, all who wished to make II
little pleasure trip from Mar
tins Ferry, 4Etnavlllr, Bridgeport
and Wheeling to Bellaire and return,
after having announced by posters and
otherwise for several days previous, that
such train would be run on that night.
There were nearly as many ladies ut the
meeting AS there were gentlemen; they
seemed tn come on the square like the
animate creation of God entered the Ark
of Noah, the male and his female, and
at g o'clock the meeting organized by
clectIng Mr.. James Wilson chairman,
and James +. Anderson, Esqr, secretary.
The chairman then arose and said:
Gentlemen ant Ludies: 1t gives me
pleasure 10 introduce to you the Hon.
Lorenzo Danford who will now address
You, &c.
MIR. Danford then came forward, and
for ut least half an hour endcavored to
entertain his hearers by portraying the
horrors OF the late WAT, using the words,
dark hours of the rebellion seventeen
times bv actual count. He said "the war
cost II great deal more than it need to
have cost us, but that is all past and gone
and cannot be helped now. He spoke at
some length on the subject Of the taxes
of the country, and during his remarks
upon this point he said, Il cuncedc the
tact, and 50 must everyone conccde IT.,
that the national taxes to-day are great
burthcn upon the people lie then
passed to the currency question, and rs
It Is II well known fact that uS IA mathc-
maticiau, friend DAntord is not II success,
and that the multiplication table is I"
hlm an ,uusolved problem almost, his
remarks upon this branch OF his speech e,
while dealing with large numbers, were
quite amusing. He said that the fact
that there was no settled policy IN the
Republican party with regard to the cur
rency OF the country, had caused panic
t. extend its shadow over the land for
over two years. He then tried
to get up big scare on the Geshan bill,
told IL great many jokes, and wound up
with piece of the most uubIushlng
etfronterv we have listened 20 during the
campaign. In the face of the prostra-
tion of business of all kinds throughout
the country, and the mills, machine shops,
factories. and manufacturing establish
ments all over the land lying idle, thus
throwing thousands and tens of thou
sands OF laborcrS out of employment he
said. Put the Democrats III power and
the lrcs will 20 out of the furnaces OF
the mills and factories of the country,
but nS the fires are already out, we THINK
the most of the audience took this ~ II
huge Joke, n Mr.. Dantord had made use
of the very same words in this city two
years ago. A thousand such speeches III
Bc.laire wouldn't make one vote less for
the old SAGE Of Ros, county. Mr.. Dan
ford in his remarks would indulge in a
TRADE of abuse against the Democratic
party. and especially It's leaders, and
spoke ofthe speeches of Morgan, Cary,
Pendlcton. Ewing, Thurman and Gov
cruur Allen uS trIiling and dishonest bar
uugurs 1t made strange contrast to >rc
this bud Of untavorable promise from the
Captine hills standing on the same stand
where, but few evenings before, stood
Morgan and Governor Allen men of
learning, of judgment, of honest princi-
pies ana maturcd wisdom-men who
have forgotten more than Dantord can
ever hope to know and yet he dcnounc-
ed them aS dishonest huranguerS and
demagugncs His effort here WAS very
weak one. At the close of the meeting
the chairman took occasion u warn the
mill men that Henry B'andy would
speak here OH Wednesday evening, and
spoke as though he would rather the
working men wouldn't get to hear Mr..
Blandv. because he isa mechanic and
knows how it is himself. But the work
ing men have had promises OF better
times until they are tired and disguised
with it, and Eow theyarc going to act
for themselves.
Good order prevailed during the meet
ing.
Arr o'clock yesterday afternoon our
citizens were startled by the announce
mert that Mr.. Edward Kinney, of thi,
city, had been found dead ut the City
Hall building, and upon arriving there
we found that the report WAS too true.
When first discovered he was lying
doubled up with his head under him and
WAS dead. When his wife and children
arrived at the City Building their screams
and sobs we're hcart-rending. 1t Is sup
posed his death was caused by apopcXy.
The following Is report of the proceed
ings before Coroner Garrett. y jury OF
six were impannellcd, consisting Of the
following persons: John McCornick, DR.
NJ. d. Resoner, Edwin Owens, Peter
Peterson, John Garrett and ID.
w. Lcet, who, after hearing the
testimony OF several persons AS
to when they seen him last and under
what circumstances, and the testimony OF
DR.. NJ. W. Junkins, as to the cause Of
his death. rendered n verdict, that the de-.
ceased came to his death from the result
OF an apopiectic tit.
THERE will be meeting Of the city
Council tomorrow night.
LET every workingman turn out and
listen to Henry Blandy's reasons for
deserting the Republican party, stump
ing the State for Governor Allen. The
leaders Of the Republican party here,
don want the working men to hear Mr..
Blnndv. and are trying every Way they
can To induce them to remain away from
the nlectis on next Wednesday evening
This fact of itself is enough to put the
working men on their guard, and make
