Tie KIine House Anair.


An we have to say in reply to the
Monitors version Of the Kline House
affair, Of two or three weeks ago is
that it is utterly false from begin
ming to end, and is one thatthe wri-
ter Of It would not dare to verify on
oath, if called upon to support his
statement by affidavit. When the
article appeared last Friday, respect
able Republicans were shocked to
think that any man could pen and
send forth to the county, such an
abominable, intentional and mali
cious falschood. All who were pres
ont, know that the statement in the
Monitor is an untruth. Last week
we gave the facts as we witnessed
them; and we know that on that
night, and at the time, Mr.. Sisson
condemned Mr.. Wizards action in
taking away the lights, and said he
endorsed no such work. Mr.. Tom
linson was very loudly called for, by
ALMOST everyone in the audience,
and did not appear for sometime, as
on his way to the door he stopped
and shook hands with and talked to
Mr.. Freer. Mr.. Willard did take the
lights away, and would, haye taken
the table ifhc had BEEN able to carry
it. When requested to letit remain,
that the lights and table had been
borrowed from the proprictors, Mr..
Willard said This is our meeting
and you can't speak here" We also
state, that whenever Mr., Frecr was
interrupted it was doao by Rcpubli-
cans, and the difficulty which occur
red at the close Of Mr.. Freers speech
was provoked by D. II. Willard the
Chairman of the Republican Execu-
tive Committeoof Mason county, and
what Mr.. Simpson did was for his
own defence. That Harpold, the re-
sponsible man of the Monitor, should
be made to stand the blunt Of these
lying articles, is wrong He is
simply a breastwork for Phelps and
Willard to hide behind, and shoot at
respectable and honorable men,
We can only conclude that the ar
ticle alluded to was gotten up for
cheap political capital, and that it
will rebound upon their heads with
double force.

The Tilden Reform Club at this
place was addressed last Wednesday
night by Rev. W. W. Harper, late
Chaplain of the Thirteenth West
Virginia Volunteers, and Chas. Z.
Hogg, Esq. The Court room was
nearly filed with ladies and gentle
men. Mr.. Harper was the first to
speak. His speech was almost en-
tirely devoted to a history Of that
s400 he paid over to Hayes in 1854
Mr.. Harper showed conclusively that
Hayes had taken the money from
him. by deciding that it belonged to
the Government. He also conclu-
sivcly proved that the Government
had never seen a cento of it, lie said
that since Hayes had "no recollect-
ion of it, he was forced to the con-
clusion that Hayes and Comley diyi-
dcd the 800 taken from the execu-
ted dcscrter, between them. He said
dishonest men ought not rule or ty-
rants be permitted to live, and
therefore he intended to vote for hon
osty and for Reform. All who heard
him, admitted that he was telling
the truth, and more, they believed
that Gov, Hayes pockoted that $500.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Harpor's
speech, Mr.. Hogg addressed the peo-
pie at some length.

Radical Campaign Argument.

We were called '.liar" no less

and they know it, and not-being
able to disproye what we stated, say
it's "liem Well, we can only treat

of any candidate on the Republican
ticket, and we defy the Journal II

we have assaulted the icbarheterfsci

had q right to do. criticized their
public and official acts, and told the
people that some of their candidates
had neither the ability or qualilica-
tons to successfully conduct the bus
mess of the Office for which they
were nominated, if elected. This
was duty we owed the people, and
aduty wefaithfully performed, with
out regard to whom it might offend.
On the other hand, the Republi-
can papers Of this county have been
personally assailing our candidates,
(who in point of integrity, charact-
or and standing in the county are as
high above these Radical editors, as
the Heavens are above the earth,)
calling them "bullies," "prizc-fght-
ers," "rougbs," "drunkards," "bank
rupts," and many other vile epithets.
Particularly have they directed their
venom at Mr.. Simpson and Mr.. Ste
ycnson. And more, the Republican
Executive Committee have hired
unprinciplcd men to ride over this
county and circulate base falschoods
about Messrs. Stevenson and Simp-
son. But the people have not taken
readily to their stories, and will re-
bukc, we are happy to say, their dir
ty work on the 10th of October, by
qlccting Simpson, Stevenson and the
