ket, desirous Of encouraging the growth
in grace, "reform" and precocity, OF
promising and aspiring young Demo-
craticsprigs, congregated atTriadelphia
on last Saturday 10 hear some choice spout
ing from Good, Cracraft and Pendleton.
After each performer had hummed and
hawed his "piece" to tatters-each
awaited, with the assurance pecu-
liar to his. age and style the
encomiums supposed 10 have been
elected by their elegant bursts Of oratory
and ear-splitting calculations. The good
country folks spoke their minds right
freely, but not altogether to the satisfac.
tion. Of the orators. 0nethought Cracraft
was peart talker, but he never heard
such q howl from cold track. He SEEM
ed SO much in earnest and made such
powerful motions. Goods critic was sur.
prised that he did not do better, as he had
the start OF the other two boys in age and
experience, and had the first speech. An.
other thought that Pendleton had either
learned his speech well or had certainly
made II before; and that he would look
better between the handles OF plow.
When he told them about the vampires
that feed and fatten on the people Of the
country" several said that was something
new that was coming, now that the pota.
to bugs were aboutgones A gray headed
and venerable Democrat closed the citi-
zism. He said he liked to give the boys
a chance to speak their pieces, but there
was reason in all things. With regular
practice for while, Pendleton would
do tolerable well, but this year was no
time for fooling and practicing. Things
were getting critical, and "boys" must
wait until there is less risk to try their
gifts. TEL our friends in Wheeling to send out
their men, and keep their boys at home.
This is no time to Be fooling around with
pop.guns. VfDI.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF FrHEsAMEMEETISG
Editors INTEL igcncer:
On Saturday evening, as you will see
by referring to the Market street issue Of
the 25th inst, that few Of the beardless
boys Of this district, who owing to the in
clement weather were prevented from at
tending 10 their labor at home, came to
the borough to attend Democratic pole
raising. Ithad been announced by hand
bills that able and efficient speakers
would be here to dedicate the pole to the
cause of reform. The emblem being put
in It's proper place, Mr.. J. Fl. Good came
forward and addressed the element there
assembled. Not being present we can
not give the direction his discourse took,
but We all concede him to be an orator
when he has,a subject. Mr.. L. G. Cta.
craft followed, whose speech was consid-
cred Brick PomerOyish.
And now comes our bombastic friend,
John Pendleton, who made the usual
amount OF noise, and got 80 deep down
into the issues that he introduced to the
voters OF the district, their candidate for
County Commissioner,
Mr.. McKennon was called, and an
swered unprepared. But all OF a sudden
happy thoug ght struck him; he said, we
will now give three cheers for Tilden and
Hendricks. A Republican boy suggested
three cheers for the true standard bear
ers Of reform, Hayes and Wheeler, which
met with Tie approval of one-half pres
ent.
Another such meeting will be a still
further gain in Triadelphia district for
Hayes and Wheeler and the State officers.
