Perhaps the most beautifully decorated
stand ever at political meeting in this coun
ty, was the one at the Waverley meeting on Thurs
day night of last week. There were three large
American flags, with number of smaller ones,
draped over and around the stand, with festoons
of the most beautiful flowers, in great profusion,
from the nursery of Mr. Chas. Hamilton. A large
portrait of Gov. Hayes graced the rear Of the
stand. In addition there was any quantity of
Chinese lanterns strung to the hayards of the pole
and across the pike the whole making up o pic
ture worthy the study of an artist.
An old and esteemed friend writes as fol-
lows: "On my return from Ocean Grove learned
of your great calamity, which panied me much.
DO not be dsheartened. Your past will be pass
port for your future prosperity, as you richly de-
serve. You have the best county paper-acknowl-
edged by all who see it-and the cause you advO-
cate is just cause and one to be proud Of" We
are almost daily-since our calamity--in receipt
of just such letters as this. We highly appreci-
ate the many kind words of our friends and in
the future, as in the past will endeavor to prove
worthy of their confidence and support.
"A few days ago 9th district farmer was at
work in his woods when he heard an unusual
sound if calling for help He
started in the direction of the soundl and he
approached what did he behold? Why, there un-
der a large white oak he saw the "Sage of Ross
Mill DAM" all alone, making political speech to
the forest trees The farmer inquired what in the
world it all meant when he was informed by the
orator that he intended to make Democratic
speech at Middletown on Saturday and he was
just "practicing up little, you know" Wheth
or this great speech was made on Saturday or not
we have not learned.
