BOWLING.
Meeting CT the Reform Club, at Keller's
school House--speeches by McEl-
herne and O'Mara.
To the Editors of The Arans

10 the Editors of The Argus
The Spirit of Reform is abroad, even in
Bowling, and our people generally, with.
out regard to party, see the necessity of a
change of administration. Times are hard.
business poor, prices low, and the country
Is not prosperous. Dishonest management
oy our rulers and robbery and bad legisla-
ton has brought our country to the brink
OF rum, and change is necessary. 1t
can be any worse and the chances are
that 1t will be better. This is the way our
people feel. And feeling SO. we have or
cameo Reform Club, composed of men
without regard to party. We invite all 10
loio us who want change and more pros
porous times.
on Wednesday evening our Club met
at the Keller School House, with our
president, Mr. Forgy, 10 the chair. The
mousse was full and good attention was
given by all. z. T. McElherne, ESQ.,, of
your city>spoke about ! J hours, in a calm
ana persuasive and convincing manner,
setting forth the condition to which our
country has been brought, financially, by
the Republican managers. and showing
the Dement'S to be derived to the country
at large by change; that it was for the
interest OF all persons to work for Uncle
Sam Iilden, the Great Reformer, whose
management had contributed SO much
towards the honest government prosperity
in New York, and who, on broader field.
would be great benefit to the whole coun-
try IN the presidential office. It was
good, strong, convincing speech, and did
much good.
Mr. U Mara, the gallant Irish soldier,
our candidate for states attorney, followed
in short and able effort of about
halt an hour, and made fine impression.
Our people do not care for names. It
is no matter what the party is called, it
is results that we look for, and the results
OF Is years of peace, Is years since the
war closed, shows US that even now the
peace and harmony of the union is not re.
stored, and the people are neither happy
or prosperous. Without regard to party. |
We want change, not merely of men, but
OF parties, for we know that if Hayes shall |
lie elected the same set, the same rings |
that have brought us so near to ruin will
still rule and we shall get no Improvement |
Our only hope is in Tilden.
