THE LOUISVILLE MEETING.

Speeches Of Lynch, Ran and Judge GOOding'
The meeting at Louisville on Tuesday

A goodly attendance was on hand, and
the meeting was held in Mr.. Flickinger's
orchard, near the mill, that gentleman
kindly profFering his grounds for the
purpose.
The Louisville and Canton City bands
gave abundance of the best Of music,
and about p. M, the procession march,
ed through the town to the place OF
meeting, where stand had been erect
ed and seats improvised.
In due time the meeting was called to
order by Joseph Penney Esq who presi-
ded on the occasion, and after few in
troductory remarks, introduced VIM. A.
Lynch Esq, who for three quarters OF
an hour continued to engage the earnest
attention of the crowd. Mr.. Lynch
made one of his best efforts.
Ex-Judge G. W. Raft was then intro
duced, and spoke for about half an hour.
The Judge expressed the great interest
he felt in Democratic success, and the
hopes therein in honest and just meas
ures of public policy.
While Judge Raft was speaking the
distinguished Judge Gooding Of lndi'
ana, arrived on the $3.50 train, and was
at once introduced when Mr.. Raft clos
ed. Judge Gooding spoke for over an
hour in his most effective and happy
style. The friends, one and all, were
evidently pleased at having been there
and enjoyed the occasion pro6tably

All the speakers were frequently ap
plauded, and it was Democratic feas
to be there. The meeting did not ad

East Tuscarawas street, Canton. on the 81 inst OF

In the death Of Estella the parents and friends
suffer bereavement that only those who have
thus suffered can realize. She has been taken
away at that interesting age when childhood was
fast budding into youth, and assuming useful
place in the household and family circle. Her
su6erings we're great, but she bore them with be-

that tn ir loved one was ever docile and affec.
tionate. In their inmost soul, till time will end
with them, they will cherish fond remembrance
OF their loved one who has passed away.

EE0M WAYNESBURG.
THAT SNYDER CERTIFICATE OF
N GOOD CHARACTER.
A Little More Frsud-How Snyder Played nur'
ply, and How He Set Up the Beer 70 He
Elected Justice by Votes.

Mr. EDITOR Noticing card in the
Repository vouching for I. G. snyder's
moral standing, and signed among 9TH
ers by number of prominent Demo-
Gratis Of Waynesburg, I concluded to
make enquiry, l have long since found
that trickery and fraud enter largely into
Republican management.
John E. Wilson, F. Mackaman and
others whose names appear to the Sny'
der card, declare they never signed their
names to any such document.
The certificate Of character for I. U.
Snyder, who is the Republican candidate
for the Legislature, is to help the fellow
where he is not known. In this place
Ills fame is established, as may be seen
when he was elected Justice by three
votes only. in a township that gives a
hundred or more Republican msjority'
SNYDER needs certificate of character
He was Murphy temperance leader
was chairman of the Murphy society
here, lectured for them in Malvern, Min
erva, &C., and in fact, was full, for timeI
of Murphyism. His reelection for JUS
tice, however, came around, and seeing
that ]. X. Bowers would beat him unless
he got help, he went to the most promi'
nent saloonist of this place, renounced
Murphyism and obligated himself to sci
up two kegs of beer for the boys it he
was elected. In this way Snyder saved
himself and got through by three ma
jority
No wonder he wants lying certificate
to bolster him up. It. will bother Sny

next. His certificate won't help thu

FROM WOOSTER.


WOOSTER, o., Oct. 7tb, 1879.
Yesterday the Republicans came up to
Wooster to the feast of tabernaCles, to
have their faith confirmed in the great
doctrines Of their party. No pains had
been spared to make this meeting eclipse
the Democratic meeting of last month,
when Senator Voorhees, spoke, but
somehow they were doomed to failure.
They advertised that three hundred stu
dents would be in line in the procession,
and there were just l19. They we're
making calculations on having five hun
dred horsemen, and had only about 80
They expected ten bands, and had three,
one of which was from Wooster. The
crowd at the grove was considerably
smaller than that which greeted Senator
Voorhees,, and would have been smaller
yet if the University had not patriotic.
ally dismissed in honor of the occasion.
When Voorhees, spoke, the roads had
been rendered muddy by rain in the
forenoon, but the Republicans had a
beautiful day. Still the Democratic
meet ng ecipsed the Republican. 0ne
amusing feature Of the Republican meet
ing was the notices. The first one in
the procession said that Foster would
have so 600 majority; the next gave it
10000; the nexi 80 0O0; one at the grove
reduced it to 10000; and the last one in
the procession made it only 10 600. 1t is
a mercy they didn't have another motto
or two, for if they had, Ewing would
have been elected without an effort of
the Democracy.
Senator William Wallace of Pennsyl-
vanja, addressed the Democracy of Woos-
ter on Monday evening, Oct. 9th. The
meeting was held in the Opera House,
and the audience was large and enthu.
siastic, great many ladies were present,
Senator Wallace was frequently applau-
ded and heartily cheered,
Wayne county is good for more than
her usual majority next Tuesday. We
shall make a very decided gain.

FOSTER THE IMPOsTOR.

During the past week Mr.. Foster has
been forming an alliance with the Pro-
hibitionists, and promising them great
things in case he is elected. The pied
ges msy be good enough to catch votes,
but nobody believes they will ever be
fulfilled, and large wing of the party Is
disgusted thereat.-Akron Times.
In Connection with the above this is
lust the time to re-publish the following
from the Cleveland HeraldS special tele-
gram, as to how Foster secured his nom'
ination:
STRENGTH OF THE TWO cANDIDATEs'
"There is strong element in the STAN
ina of the Convention for Taft, but Foster
captivstes many by stationinG himself in
his room with cigar in mouth, free side,
board and the exercise of his personal
magnetism"
Having secured his nomination by free
whisky, Foster now proposes to secure
his election by counting the Prohibition
lists. This illustrates Fosters mercantile
abilities to the fullest advantage. Hl
will buy anybody or sell anything fol
gain, pecuniarily or Politically. Fol
Calico Charley is his Dame."
