The Mckenzie House still keeps up
its reputation as one of the best hotels
in the country, and is libepally patron

Agood shoemaker and a good butch

that place.
Prof Finley exhibited his Stereop>

Mckenzie is doing more business

HUNTINGTON, March II, 1871
Another remarkable event has Just
been recorded in the political history
of Carroll county. The Radical party
proper of this vicinity, / mean the ne
groes and white "riff,raff," +" held high
carnival here last night in honor of
the count in" of Returning Board
HAYES. The rabble who assembled
for this purpose were addressed by the
Hon Alvin Hawkins and S. w.
Hawkins. The latter was elected last
November by majority of over 5000
to stan at home. as the Radical nOmi>
nee for Congress. The most distin.
gushing feature of their harangues
was their oft>repeated "my beloved
fcllow-citizens and countrymen, and
many other equally endearing and
disgusting titles. 1t is with regret |
inform you that this motley group who
thus assembled to endorse and ratify
the most outrageous crime ever per-
petrated through the worst phases of
perjury and fraud did not consist
alone of ignorant negroes and disrepu-
table whites. A certain knight of
the mortar and pestle" was seen gal
lantly leading in the procession squad
of four miserable white fellows and
about one hundred specimens Of the
Hottentot persuasion.
There were many honest and re-
spectacle Republicans in our little city
who stood aloof with the Democrats
and looked on with disgustand shame
at the proceedings of this mad and
yelling mob.
1t is sand that Whom the Gods
wish to destroy they first make mad.
If this be true, then certainly the day
of destruction of the Radical party of
Carroll has arrived, and the scenes of
last night marked the last expiring
gasp of the organization, and its re-
quiem was sung by amob of drunken,
yelling negroes and rabble of whites
more mad than sane. REX.
