posed II would be q necessity Of the cam.
paign TO wave the bloody shirt,
Us the rebel Democracy choose
TO call II. This reminded him Of the boy
who, in crossing 10 field, by his red shirt
attracted the beligerent attention OF 4
bull. The boy tried to escape by circling
tree, but the bull kept after him.
Finally, the boy discovering that there
was but little distance between himself
and the bulls tail seized hold Of it, All
at once the bull concluded that the status
Of the chase had changed, and that the
boy with the red shirt on was after him,
and started on the run. The boy having
discovered the weak place in his enemy
kept up IN energetic twist till the bull
roared with pain, when the boy yelled
out, "you begun it, you begun it." That
Is what's the matter with the Democratic
bulls, they begun this bloody shirt
business and now that il bodies them III
they cry out abont il, but the question is
who began it. Let them answer for them
selves.
The Capt. compared the record Of the
two parties for Governor OF this State.
Gen. Gdf was we'll known to all the pcO-
pie Of the State, in every respect he had
reputation without spot or stain. How
was Il with Mr.. Mathews the Democratic
candidate'for Governor. Hc had not only
fought to rob West Virginian OF her
interest in the glorious union Of states,
but after the war was over he
tried to have her dismembered by
petition. TO remit the counties Of
Grecnbriar and Monroe to the care Of
the old Mother OF States, because their
connection with the new State wasnncon-
genial, was forced upon them. y
Mr.. Miller, the Democratic candidate
for Auditor, Is The bosom companion Of
Ferguson, and probably can explain how
the bill to appropriate $1,000 for the sur;
vey Of paper railroad got to the head
OF the calendar at time favorable 10
rush ii through without observation; also
how the money was expended and how ii
got into the hands Of certain individuals
~ compensation for weeks work.
After some remarks upon general poll.
tics the Captain closed the best effort we
have heard him make.
After the singing Of the "Star spangled
Banner" by the Glcc Club, Chancellor
Kemplc, who had been specially invited
by the Boys Club to address them, was
loudly called for, and came mp gay and
smiling. Jacob had been to Moundsville
twelve miles away-but remembering
that he had promised the boys to be with
them at Philippi, as the evening shades
drew on apacc he had mounted his stced
in hot haste, and now he was here Ia Ia
Shcridan) 10 keep his promise and
rescue the boys from anguishlng
disappointment. The Chancellor gave the
crowd to understand that what remarks
hc had to make would be devoted to the
boys and right well did he keep his word.
He made what We shall denominate n
sensible and instructive speech, one that
the boys were capable OF understanding
and appreCiating, and which was well re.
ccived and did not fail 10 receive compli-
mcntary consideration from the older
people present. Deacon Stone showed a
sIlrewd appreciation Of the ChancellOr's
talents when he endeavored to press him
into the Sunday school business. At the
clOse Of his speech Jacob was greeted
with hearty applause anil shower OF
bouquets, the language OF some ot the
flowers OF which was very tender.
With three cheers for the Hayes and
Wheeler boys Of Union district, the meet
ing adjourned. 90.
