DIT. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FLAP
DOODLE.

A Democratic meeting was held in
The court house on Tuesday evening
last, at which A. Il. Coifroth, the
Democratic nominee for Congress,
was the principal speaker. Ho spoke
for q considerable length Of time and
disguised very many of his hearers.
His statements for the most part
were untrue. lie started ouE by as
serting that q peaceful and prosper
GUS Government was handed over to
Abraham Lincoln that the Republi-
can party was responsible for the
hard times that be was a green
hacker and he wasn't; talked about
finances and demonstrated that be
didn't know what he was talking
about; endeavored TO misrepresent
Gen. Campbell's position on The sill
yer bill denied that he sold a cadet
ship denounced Republican editors
as liars who cannot tell the truth !
And thus be h%arangued.
Such q man is the Democratic nom
inee for Congress in this district
Colfroth is q stranger to US and to
most of our people and perhaps this
fact will give him q better vote than
be would otherwise receive. We
have read considerable of the record
of this man CofTroth as published in
the Somerset and Bedford county pa
pers where be is well known-in fact
too well known. We are free TO ad-
nit that we Gid not believe half that
was said Of him but we have seen
the man end heard his demagoguery,
and the conclusion was forced upon
US, as it must have been upon every
candid, intelligent man who heard
him, that be is n willy, intriguing po-
litical demagogue of the basest sort
1t has been said that while a mem
Der of Congress be sold q cadetship
We believe il. 1t is asserted that be
more than once betrayed his party
We believe it. 1t is said that ne
will do it again, We believe it. His
demagoguery is only equaled by his
selGshness We should have ad-
mired his effort if ho had made a
straightforward, manly Democratic
speech. We despise the low, truck
ling political demagogue. We be-
lieve the election Of such selfish men
would be detrimental ID the better
interests of the country. No. Mr..
Coffroth, We ere assured that your
Greenback flspdoodle didn't have the
