Both the Democrats and Republicans
seem well satisfied with the success OF
their meetings on Friday night, although
the meeting at the City Hall was sort
OF an unpromptu affair, and to let their
friends know of il, the Republicans
started drum corps out in the early
part OF the evening with drums beating
and banners flying, announcing that
Judge West and General Capehart
would speak at the City Hall that night.
The Hall at s o'clock was completely
TANNED, and Judge West delivered a
speech which was eloquent and iuil OF
able thought, and free from that detest-
able vein SO common with polltlcai
speakers, viz: The wholesale denun-
citation OF the opposing party. Inc
Judge paid quite "A tribute 10 the Fed
eral soldiers with the following, while
speaking of finances and the war. Gold
is not good enough for soldiers; silver is
not good enough Tor soldiers; all the
gems and, jewels in the world are
not good enough for soldiers.
No, nv friends, the only thing
which will compensate the men who
have suffered privatiOns and hunger
and who have risked their lives and
fled for this country, is the boundless
gratitude of the people of these United
States. and the rich reward they are
sure to reap in the world 10 come. ~
The Judge made many friends during
his visit here, and should he again re-
turn he will be cordially welcomed.
The Democratic meeting ut Public
SQUARE was well patronized by members
of both parties. The st. Cecilia band
was out in full force and treated
the citizens to some very fine music
after which the Hon. Cnas. Reemlin,
Democratic candidate for Auditor OF
State, delivered n sound and stirring
address, eagerly listened to Throughout
bv vast multitude OF people. Mr..
Reemlin is a very pleasing and iorcible
talker and his speech abounded IN rich
humor peculiar 10 the gentleman him
self. The Democrats have put forth a
strong man i'm Mr. Reemlin, and II We
mistake not he will run largely ahead OF
his ticket in this city, owing to
the position the Republican candidate
took, in regard TO the county seat re-
moval question.
The picnic under the auspices OF the
PRESBYTERIAN Sunday School, at Bethel,
on Saturday, was grand success, and
WAS thoroughly enjoyed by the great
number of people who attended. The
cars, canopied by the b. 4 ;. W. Rail
road Company, were found to be sadly
wanting in their capacity TO furnish
seats for the COncourse of people which
wendell It's way To the depot IN the
morning, and rs consequence a num-
Der OF flat ears which were standing in the
ward. were brought into requisltion, and
those who were not fortunate enough 10
get seat under canopy, were com
PEELED to get on flat car, with only
the blue canopy of the heavens for a
covering and ride TO Bethel III the hot
sun, with ANYTHING but a delightful
rain OF cinders coming down on them,
filling their ewes and ears. After the
arrival at Bethel, however, all thoughts
of the unpleasant ride had disappeared
and the enjoyments OF the day
were entered into with an
enthusiasm and Zest which
made the children and some OF the older
ones too, wish that the day would
| last a week. The train returned in the
evening bringing in a tired, but hap.
pv lot OF human beings, who oil voted
the picnic Il grand success, and hoped
that it might soon he repeated.
