FROM the amount of play cards, hand
bills and posters seen stuck up all over
the country, in every town and manifest
one would have imagined there would
have been a grand display OF the Radical
torch bearers in Martins Ferry, on last
Thursday evening, but alas, 1t was too
true TO be told by the faithful,
1t wss an ignominious fzzle.
At sunset they were seen blistering their
! reptiles. while at dusk they chung TO their
victims like teaches. At dark they were
heard to cry, Fall Fall in! Your ma
ton, your country, and your God is at
stake. Why will .ye stay2" Yet still
later they were heard to exclsim, at

will be sorry Tor this nights doings." In
side 1t was pitiful sight to see them
languishishlng, they were truly an
object OF pity, because of the time, ex-
pepse and trouble they had gone to-.
Because, however partisan one may be-,

And after the lnehaired condemnation
New York had sum- med the thing all up,
and marked Mr.. Tilden, the irrepressible
kid gloved gentleman must give song
of warning TO the people, he sung Of the
bloody shirt and imaginary depredations,
TO the tune OF Morton and Fitzpatrick,
when the crowd began TO disperse
and leave him fighting with his imag-

To say, awe have met the enemy and
they are ours" Is putting it very lightly
They are discouraged, hopeless, dis.

a Republican stronghold with the most
inclement weather, and with fow hours
notice can rally and pat the Radicals to
fight. Score Martins Ferry precinct
down as a Democratic victory.
