CLARINGToN, Oct. 25, 1880.
We notice by the Democrat the De-
mocracy of this place held a meeting
which was zone Of the largest ever
held in this place." Now, that may
sound very we'll to the denizens Of
other sections, but we consider it enc
of the largest 'jokes" ever perpetrated
on an innocent and inofending COM
munity, and if the other meetings we
see chTouicled in that sheet are any
thing like the one held here we pity
the dear people who are thus afflicted.
The fact of the matter is there were
barely enough of their own party pres
ent to fill the offices. Our good old
friend VIM. Shields was elected Presi.
dent, but We hope he will not take of.
Tense at our mentioning the fact in
public. Peter Heasley was made sec.
retary, but as Peter was unable to
WELD the Faber, our worthy school
teacher, a stauneh Republican, kindly
lent his assistance, and the "bawl"
went on. But l am getting somewhat
ahead of my story. The speakers ar
rived in the afternoon or evening and
put up at our hotel. At the proper
hour they proceeded to the field of
action, the school house. While pass.
ing through .,the hall or vestibule,
something dropped from one of the
speakers pockets it busted, and the
"oil" which was doubtless intended TO

clusively what the sentiment of the
people was, and showed that the course
of the editor was disgusting to all de.
cent people. The Doctor, during his
entire address uttered not one word of
abuse against opposite candidates, and
closed his remarks in good style, leav.
ing the large audience in the best of
mood. The Youngsville Brass Band
discOursed some very fine music dur.

cheers for the whole Republican tick

the ballot box next Tuesday.

Republican Rally Last Night.

Last night, although the weather
was miserable. the Republicans had
a rousing meeting at the court house
in this place. Gen. Harry Allen, of
Warren, and DR.. S. S. fowler, of
Marienville, were the speakers. We
have but time and epace to say that
the meeting was the pleasantest and
one of the most enthusiastic that has
been held in town during the cam.
paign. Hon. n. P. Wheeler was made
President and S. D. Irwin, Esq, Vice
President ; Secretaries, G. A. Randall
and J. E. Wenk. Gen. Allen was the
first speaker, and delivered one oftbe
solidest speeches of the campaign,
reviewing the situation from an early
period to the present day and proving
conclusively that the party which had
brought the country through twenty
years so grandly, should be kept in
place as long as it did so we'll. DR..
fowler touched briefly on some of the
points made by the first speaker, and
then came down to the local ticket.
His 6rst move was to riddle the Dem :
ocratic meeting held here during court
week, and the way he went through it
was a terror to the unterrifed. The
fusion meeting on Monday evening
last came in for its share of ridicule.
Tom. ST. Clair's infamous ISLANDERS
against Gen. White were met and
refutsd most efectuAlly. DR.. fowler
proved st. Clair's assertions libelous
and most malicious. The smut
machine down at oOfee.pOt headquar-
ters was handled without gloves by the
Doctor, and the way his remarks were

Democratic -Greenback Meeting.

The Democrats and Greenbackers
had fusion meeting at the Court
House on Monday evening, upon which
occasion james MOsgrove and DIR.
Thos. st. Clair held forth. These dis
tinguisbed, and soon. be extinguish-
ed personages arrived on the 2:47 train
Monday, and were soon surrounded by
their admiriDg Democratic and Green
back friends, and for some time it was
question which would take charge of
the pair, but the Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee cap
tnrod the Congressional aspirant and
took him home to tea. At about eight
o'clock the crowd gathered at the
court house, and the meeting was call
ed to order by Chairman Haslet, who
nominated j. H. Dingman, Green.
backer, President, and r. d. Fisk,
Democrat, Vice President; Secretaries,
Hayden, D., Diihridge, G., and James,
G. The President then introduced
Mr.. Mosgrove, who spoke for proba-
bly, twenty minutes. He spoke very
low and it was impossible to hear
much of what he said near the en-.
trance. The audience listened with
bated breath, thinking to catch one
word which might indicate that he
was Greenbacker, but they didn't
hear it. His remarks we're respectful,
yet he might as we'll have said nothing
so far as convincing any one what his
politics were. He spoke of tho bonds
which will soon fall due, but did no
say whether he would vote to pay
them at maturity or refund them at
lower rate of interest. The tariff
question occupied most of his attention,
and of course, he was IN favor of pro-
tective tariff. So is every honest man.
If the .Greenbackers could draw any
definite conclusions or consolation
from his remarks they are certainly
very easily satisfied. # was simply
impossible to discover whether he was
a Democrat or Greenbacker, and al.
though he has repeatedly said he
would not vote for Garfield, we have
reason, after hearing his speech, to SER
iously doubt his word in that particu.
lar. Of the other man, Thos. St. Clair,
it is hardly worth while to speak. His
remarks consisted simply Of vile, ma
lignant, and slanderOus abuse of the
private and public life of Gen. Harry
White, even going so far as to heap
violent abuse upon his dead brother
and bring his dead father into the
discussion. The meeting had not the
effect to make single vote for Mos
grove, but on the contrary, several
who had intended supporting him
went away thoroughly disgusted
and declared that while they nigh t
not vote for Gen. White, they Ger
tainIy would not touch Mosgrove.

Local Politics.

In our hurry to get to press last
week we omitted, OH account of not
having complete report, to mention
the Republican meeting held at Fa-
gundas last Friday evening week.
Hon. w. N. Lindsay, of Warren, de-
livered a very able and convincing ad.
dress, and was frequently interrupted
by the outbursts Of applause. Our
candidate for Assembly, E. L. Davis,
Esq, made some fair and square re-
marks, which were good and to the
point. The sturdy Republicans of
Harmony, don't you forget it, are up
and doing. and will take care of the
straight Republican ticket on Tues
day next.
Republican meetings were held in
different sections Of the county during
last week, which we are pleased to
state were all largely attended and
very enthusiastic. At Guilon's school
house DIR. fowler and f. L. Davis,
Esq, spoke on Tuesday evening, to a
very respectable audience. and the
meeting was voted success. The
same gentlemen spoke at Nebraska on
Thursday and were enthusiastically
received by very good house. The
meeting at Stewards Run, although
tho weather was very inclement, was
woll attended and most complete
success. DIR. S. S. fowler, Hon. j. B.
Agnew, and s. d. Irwin, ESQ.,, were
the speakers on this occasion. All
made good addresses and were loudly
applauded. A good report may be
expected from all these places for the
entire ticket, as the Republicans are
wide awake and putting forth their
best efforts. Keep up the good work,
friends.
The Republicans of Wing Hill
and vicinity had q rousiDg meeting in
the school house at that place on
Wednesday last. Mr.. w. A. Duen-
bury was elected President, and Messrs.
r. King aud Ira Barnes Vice Presi-
dents; Mr.. Jonas Skunk, Secretary.
The house was crowded with eager lis.
teners. The Garfield club was present,
and could be distinguished by their
campaign caps. Hon. j. B. Agnew
was the first speaker, who delivered an
able address. Next was DR.. fowler,
who followed with his correct logic,
and interesting and lively remarks,
keeping up lively interest through
out. Hon. N. p. Wheeler also address
ed the meeting in clear and concise
manner. s ID. Irwin, Esq, spoke a
short time, delivering one of his mimi
table addresses which kept the house
in an uproar Sheriff Randall closed
the meeting with few very pithy re-
marks which were we'll received. Our
candidate for Assembly, E. L. Davis,
was present, and was enthusiastically
received. The Republicans of that vi.
cinity are active and enthusiastic, and
will send in a glorious report on the
Sd of November.

In conducting newspaper we dc
not propose to write sensational arti.
cles without foundation 10 fact, Meth.
or to pander to depraved appetites
nor assail the private character Of Office
seekers, knowing that newspapers that
seek prominence in this manner are
offensive to all reputable citizens, and
their standing worse soiled than the
htth from which they emanate.- Com.
nOnoUedIh
And right along side the above we
find in the Commonwealth an article
as sensational and false, go far as our
candidate for Treasurer, Mr.. Foreman,
is concerned, as it is possible to get.
True, the article does not say in so
many words that Mr.. Foreman is i'm.
plicated, but it is calculated to leave
that impression on the minds Of the
people. Now, SO far as Mr.. Foreman
is concerned, We have his word and
honor that he has never solicited Kep.
lers support; that Kepler has never
otored 1t; that be never had any con.
versation with him on the subject, and
that if elected he will give bis person.
al attention to the duties of the Office,
and be run by no man. This settles
that matter most effectually in the
minds of all of Mr.. Foreman's friends
aud acquaintance. Whatever Kepler
may be blowing around over the eoun.
ty is of no consequence to the decent
people, aud none have been more sen.
Sible of this fact and displayed greater
disgust than the Greenbackers and
we had reason to hope that the Com.
n,onwedLh would hold itself aloof from
giving publicity to any of the slush
emanating from that source. In the
cOmpaign which is now very near its
close, We have endeavored to stear
clear of and exclude from our paper
all personalities, ISLANDERS and stories
calculated to injure the prospects of
opposing candidates how well we
have succeeded we are willing to leave
to an impartial public. Had We chos.
en- to publish every rumor which has
been floating around We would have
had room for nothing else, and would
doubtless have succeeded in thorough.
ly disgusting our readers. This is not
our stock in trade, and we will not 70.
sort to it in order to bolster up our
candidates. The Commonwealth mo-
tive in publishing the wild story about
"ShylOck Kepler" may not have been
to injure Mr. Foreman, but it looks
very much like it, and if it wasn't it
showed most lamentable lack of
foresight, and we hope the paper will
have the honor to come out square and
make honorable amends. And now
We wish to say to the voters, it is your
duty and privilege to vote as you
please, but you should pay no atten-
ton to the idle and malicious stories
that are always afoat during cam.
paign. The Greenbackers have Mr..
Proper as their candidate; the Demo.
Gratis have Mr.. Flynn, and the Repub-
licans have Mr.. Foreman, and should,
and we are satisfied will vote for him
to a man, regardless of the story set
afioat to iDjure him. He is man
against whose private or public career
not one word can be truthfully utter.

On the next day her body was found
hanging on Mr.. Neff7s mill dam.

THE EXHIBITION AT SAUMsvILLE

The EXHIBITION AT SAUMsvILLE.
The Exhibition of tho pupils of the
Saumsville school under the charge OF
Mr.. j, Warren Towns. on last Friday,
Saturday and Monday nights, was de-
cided success. Large audiences attend
ed every night ard the exercises were
of highly interesting character and re-
fected great credit on both teacher and
pupils. The exercises consisted OF
Tableaux, Declarations, Dramas,
Comedies and vocal music. The pu~
pills evinced a commendable interest
and by their perfect preparation as well
as by their natural talent rendered the
exercises both interesting and attrac-
tive. Among the most successful char
acters were those personating Mrs.
Churndasher, Mrs. Picksplder, Hese-
klah Rack-of-bones, Aunt Betsy and
Squire Hooper. Among the attractive
features we may very justly mention the
performance of Miss Rosa Spiker, who
sang a solo in the piece entitled tardy
scholar. While she performed this
part perfectly on the stage, she never
takes the place OF the "tardy scholar"
at school, for she is one of the most
prompt and regular pupils in the coun-
ty. The tableaux exhibited with red,
blue aud green lights, were very beau-
tiful, among them Hope and Grief per-
sonated by Miss Matte Rhodes and
Miss Amanda Saum, received the we'll
meritod appreciation of the en- tire au'
dlence. Other tableaux OF great beau
ty and impressiyeness were Prayer, by
Miss Laura Saum, Sleeping Beauty
and May Queen. The occasion was
enlivened by excellent music by the
Woodstock Orchestra. Notwithstand-
ing the house was crowded to its ut
most capacity, the best OF or0er prevail
ed. The entire exhibition would have
done credit to any of our larger towns'
The people of Saumsville evince a
commendable interest in the subject o.
education and have school building
which would reflect credit upon any
town or neighborhood. 1t is well
planned, well built and has every con-
venience. The proceeds Of the exhibit
ton will be used in painting the School
House.
