terrible ordeal Of 1887, by the election Of
Harrison and again 70 the next victory

The scenes and incidents at Washington
Hall last Tuesday night when the returns
were coming In were described with great
effect by the speaker who was an eye wit.
nees Of them.
The future Of West Virginia as indicated
by the recent returns was next briefly
foreshadowed by the speaker In an In
teresting manner.
DIR J. N. TODD,
Of Bridgeport. was next introduced. He
said: Ladies, gentleman, and that same
old coon, who is one Of the honored guests
OF this evening, became acquainted with
him in 1910, aud he has never strayed
into the forbidden grounds Of the De.
mocracy; he has never Topped, but has
ever remained square on top Of the Regis
kr's rooster all the time.
The Doctor then very felicitously re.
lated several little incidents, and as the
laugh consequent thereupon subSided, he
suddenly grew solemn and warned his
hearers that the hall In which they were
seated was not the place to make merry in,
as It was the hall oil death. A briel his-
tory OF the rise and progress Of the Repub'
lican party closed the remarks OF the Doc
tor. =.
A song by the GIee Club, ave havn't
got weary yet" followed the Doctors
speech, aud was received with great ap.
plsuse.
NE. A. W. CAMPBELL
said that he was little staggered when
irst INVITED to attend a political meeting
at Washington Hall this evening. He had
become accustomed to regarding. it as
the Democratic headquarters Of the city,
But then he recollected that there had
been an election last Tuesday, aud that
that election had terminated the lease a.
we'll as all necessity on the part
OF the Democracy for headquarters.
He felt little melancholy as he looked
about on the stage and beheld the faded
wreaths and played-out paraphernalia Of
the former occupants. They reminded
him OF the harp that once hung in Tara's
Hall-that once the soul of music shed
bat that afterwards hung so mute on
Tsrs's walls as TO make famous Irish
poet feel very dtsconsolste indeed. Here
we we're in the banquet hall deserted" Of
the late Democracy, and here were their
faded garlands as dead as their hopes OF
the future. Instead oil an assembled Dem.
ocracy In this place this evening, listening
To the moving eloquence OF those orators
who had put themselves under contract to
congratulate them on the results OF the
elections, here we were In full possession
oftheiy headquarters celebrating their de.
feat. It reminded him OF the couplet
about the man who dug the pit:
.ae d'rged IL dsep-ae disssd 1t for another;
But he fell 10 and not his brOthef,"
The effect OF the elections on the Dem
ocracy had been wholesome already. He
had noticed an Improvement in one or
two OF their newspapers. They actually
speak OF Garfield with some slight degree
OF respect now. It reminded him OF the
anecdote about Napoleon, when he es-
capped from Elba and returned to France.
The Paris Aoniteilr announced that the
great anthropsphsgist had escaped shortly
afterwards It announced that the Corsican
ogre had landed. Still later, that the mon.
sIer had slept at Lyons; Q few days alter
wards, that the tyrant was on his way to
Paris; still later, that Bonaparte was advanc.
ing on the city, and finally on the memor.
able 2lst OF March It announced that His
Imperial Majesty had entered the Tuileriea
In the midst OF his faithful subjects,
Therefore, having in mind this historical
incident, he had great hopes by the 4th OF
become accustomed to the employment OF
respectful language when referring 10
the next President.

said: l would have been scared, but ss It
is an experience meeting, I am at home.
must confess that am glad, because in
the rear, before aud behind, see the no.
BILE faces OF party that unshackled 1000, :
900 OF my race. feel glad because / live in
an age Of light, science and liberty, on

TIE LITTLE GIANT.
Col. Geo. b. Caldwell was next intro.
duced and said: ave have not only got
the temple OF the heather but we have
got the heather also. We will save them
up and the next time We will corral them
again. Not long ago these walls echoed TO
the footsteps OF either Btutus-by either
Brutus l mean Johnny Pendleton or
Bridge Cracrait; they echo no more.
Last October the other Brutus (Cracrait)

friends. / started, but was turned back
by Ohio and Indiana. who told US that
navigation was closed up, and now the
same boat that We took passage on Is steam

Democrats who will never come back"
Mr.. Tom Campbell then gave good i'm
itation oil the fraudulent relative Of Gen.

campaign.
HON. G. D. HuBs ARD
Could not really see why the people could
not as readily rejoice over the salvation Of
their country as over the salvation Of
their friends. We have been saved from
that pernicious dogma OF States Rights.
We have saved the country from this and
laid it 10 its little bed where 1t will sleep
It's eternal sleep. We have been saved
from shaky currency. We have been
saved from Solid South, and never again
will any man stand up and promise 1888
votes to any party. The flag OF our coun-
try Is in the custody OF those who love It
and those who would die for It, baptized
as 1t Ia in the blood OF quarter Of a mill.
ion OF It's SONS.
To the young men be said: You have
pitched your tent in the right camp and
with the right party. 1t Is the party Of
truth, right and intelligence. You
