The Fourth ward. Saturday night, was
the scene of the organization of Hayes
and Wheeler club. A small but not
overly enthused a.semblage, about 300 or
400 in number, rallied around. Crum.
hackers pole, corner of Eighteenth and
Wood streets, and the Wheeling City
Band soothed the feelings OF the crowd
preparatory to opening the meeting with
something like the following:
.vote, brothers, vote with care.
Vote for Hayes and Bill Wheelaire"
And on motion Of Captain q. j. Raw
lings, j. A. Dunning was called to the
chair. A committee of Ave gentlemen
Frank johnson, Geo. Kingdom, +. A.
Britt, A. J. Long and Geo. Crumbacker,
was appointed to Nominate permanent
officers, and reported the following:
President, Geo. B. Caldwell; first vice
president, jas. A. Dunning; second, H..
j. Leasure; third, VIM. Ramp; fourth,
George Crumbscker; fifth, Hugh Wilson;
treasurer, David Bell; secretaries,
David Baird and Jacob Jefferson. A
committee on Finance, consisting of John
Oesterling, Henry Hess, David Spindler'
VIM. Exley, Ben Goodwi and Nelson
Whitaker, was appointed.
During the absence of the Committee
on Permanent Organization,
GEO. b. CALDWELL
Grated on the probabilities and possibil-
tiles Ut the Republican party. He kicked
the bridge from over the bloody chasm;
waved the bloody shirt over his head,
said be was happy, and went away down
into South Carolina to get the particu-
lars of street fight between niger
and white man, holding up his hands
in holy horror that such things could
be, and then howled about the ku-klux.
In conclusion he ostracised the Democrat
ic party, asserting that thieves, assassins,
etc, were the component parts thereof, and
revealed the astonishing fact (?) that
there wasn't an honest man in it, Tor all
of which declaration, one OF his cohorts
handed him a glass of water, and he sat
down amid the silence of the multitudes.
The committee then reported the
nominations, as given above, which were
unanimously confirmed.
CAPT. B. d: DovENER,
next took the stand. There was not that
rant and tear in the delivery of his
address that characterized the others, nor
did he pay that attention one would ex-
pect to national issues. He was inter.
ested In the state ticket, and illuminated
Democratic officials rather freely, giving
utterance TO almost anything that would
stigmatize public men not in accord
with the Republican party. His con-
victions were firm, however, that victory
would find roosting place upon the
standard of the Republican party
in November, and that hard money and
all things necessary to the happiness Of
mankind in general were embodied in the
principles of that party.
GEO. R. THOMPSON,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" was the next one
10 the front. He said he had come all
the way from Ohio -northeTn Ohio
where Republicans were largely in the
majority las plenty as grasshoppers in
Kansas, as it were), and that now, for the
first time he would faunt the
bloody shirt before an audience.
He accordingly went down deep
into the CORY garment, Ut was somewhat
longer than the ordinary, and shaking,
with desire to pitch into somebody, or
something, commenced a TRADE against
we'll known citizens Of the State, which
was noticeable only for its repleteness
with blackguardisra and "unparliament-
ary" illusions to social standing. He os.
tracised, condemned, ana vilIifed every
Democrat whom be could think OF, and
pointing to the flag on the pole above
him, which hung at half mast, ashamed
that it should occupy so prominent a
position over such . foul-mouthed and
aunparliamentary" orator, he called on
the people to rally TO the support OF
those noble Romans" Ayes 'uu Weller"
CHANCELLOR JACOB KEMPLE
was loudly called for, time and again,
and appearing the circus went on. He
was lover OF the Republican party, and
had entered heart and soul into this
campaign to endeavor to save it from
the hands of the Democracy, who were
its enemies. He regretted that his ex-
treme youth prevented him laying down
his sweet and precious life as a sacrifice
to his country during the dark days OF
the rebellion, but he would now atone for
the unfortunate misnap and canvass the
state for Hayes and Wheeler.
He worked in a Scriptarsl story, and
said that the Republicans would take
Uncle Sammy by the arms, lead him 10
the top of the mount, present Paradise TO
his view, and say: "Uncle Sammy,
yo'uns has been disobejent an weuns
can't luff ys enter" and thus they
suddenly let him down in November.
Mr.. Kemple's speech was received with
cheers-some one in the crowd asking
him TO take . 'cheer' was repiete
with frequent stoppages to quench his
thirst.
This ended the pow WOW, and the mul
titudes folded their busters around them
and retired 10 their respective homes,
wonder and awe depicted on :heir seY-
eral countenances.
