An Amusing Affair.

An Amusing Affair.
Yesterday afternoon a half dozen
persons made arrangements to have a
little meeting last night at McDaniel's
new dramatic theatre in the interest of
Pease, and for the especial benefit of
Judye NJ. u. Miller, who ispretty badly
f~rieftenedy Col. MurrinN was called to
the Chair, with ]. n. Keller and Judge
Miller as right and left bowers.
Murrin's speech was a good one. 1t
was quite good when we first heard 1t
years ago. The Colonel had it well
committed fof course, and when he
ceased speaking some n in the audi
ence, whose name u reporter failed to
learn, cheered in a most enthusiastic
manner.
Judge w. II. Miller then arose and
made a short speech. That's what he
called it. The judge understands law
and is a very clever man, but as Ia speech
maker on the stump or a pleader at the
bar, he is q lamentable failure. He has
the good sense to know it., and conse-
quently cut his remarks short. His re-
marks were principally directed toward
f. +. Johnson. against whom he enter
tanned bitter feeling, because johnson
Is his opponent and is seeking to be
elected prosecuting attorney. The
Judge, when on the streets, claims that
he win receive a good many republican
votes, and that this is not n party con-
test. Last night, however, he urged
all present to vote the straight demo-
cratic ticket. 1t occurs to us that If
the judge expects any republican votes
to-day 1t would be better for him to ex-
hibit less partisan feeling. lie thought
we ought to send Pease to congress but
gave no reason therefor except that he
was u democrat and opposed to the
president, the cabinet and the senate.
The next speaker was Peter HANNA.
1t would be impossible for us to follow
Peter throughout his harangue for, like
an old shot gun, he scattered fearful

little about him as they do for the man
