AN AMUSING SPEECH.
John Blankinsop,, jr., house and sign
public orators in the county, after a faith.
lul days work with his brush, concluded
TO deliver an anti.Granger address at the
Court House. Accordingly short time
after dark "tliat bell" was rnng and soon
tile court room was packed and jammed
with living humanity. John mounted
the rostruul and proceeded 10 60 for the
Changers in dead earnest. Whether he
meant all he said or was talking just for
the sake Of amusing the people or not we
are not prepared to say. Al any rate
there has not been as much sport and
good nature at public gathering here
for manya day. mus"

POLITICAL CLUBS ORGANIZED. I.
The Democracy Organized Tilden ant
Hendricks club last night. They enroll
ell thirty.five names aud expect TO swell
the list 10 two hundrcdduring the coming
week. An adjourned meeting Of The
Hayes and Wheeler club will be held 10
night. It's a fact noticeable by every
body that thus far there has been less
enthusiasm in politics than for many
years past. 1t is presumed that after The
nominations for county officers and The
State Senate are made there will be more
interest manifested. G.B. q.
