THE o ORATOR.
An Evening With j. Harry
shannon.

II was not n very large, but it WAS a
highly appreciatfve audience which
gathpred AT the Academy Of Music 10
listen 10 the phenomenal boy orator, j.
Harry shannon. The exhibition was
rather hastily decided upon and not
widely advertised, which perhaps nc
counted for the size OF the house. a
great many of our prominent ladies and
gentlemen were present and the Young
Mems Democratic Club attended in u
body. A very enjoyable evening was
spent and no one regretted his presence
there.
Master Harry is a boy Of eleven
years, OF great proposing appearance.
lie is rather slender, with an intellect
ual cast of cOuntenance, wonderfully
bright, full, dsrk blue eyes and broad,
high forehead. He wore Il suit of vel
vet with knee breeches and scarlet stock
ings.
Col. Robert White introduced him
with the announcement that he would
deciaim Richard H~arrlngton's defense Of
himself in the safe burglary case. The
selection abOunded in fine passages,
changing from fiery oratory to the most
touching psthos. The young declaimer
acquitted himself admirably, and was
frequently and heartily %applauded. His
gestures are, perhaps, too numerous,
but they are natural and graceful, as is
his entire manner. After an interval OF
a few moments he delivered an original
effort of a political nature. 1t was gen.
orally an arraignment OF the Republican
party on the charge OF its tending to-
ward Centralism, and denunciatory of its
bitter policy toward the South. The
subject matter would have done credit
to q statesman OF years and sagacity,
and the delivery was perfect.
BY special request, Master Harry then
recited the reply OF Congressman
Blackburn. OF Kentucky, to Garfield, in
the debate on the APPROPRIATION bill.
So well did he deliver IL iIat his audi
tors might well comprehend the force
with which the original speech had
fallen upon the De GOiyer candidate,
aud they applauded Justify. Then
followed Blaine's Caustic denunciation
Of Lord Roscoe Conkling, containing
the t~urkey-cock illusions, which fairly
brought down the house.
Aftcra eulogium had been pronounced
upon this re.incarnatiou Of Henry Clay,
BIZ his manager, in relation to his won-
deriul powers OF memory, he delivered
a bened;ction, through which breathed
the most touching feeling and sublime
pathos.
This closed the performance. Col.
White said he thought everybody In
Wheeling should hear this prodigy, and
moved that those present give as their
opinion that a matinee should be given
to dav. The motion was unanimously
adopted and to-day at $50 o'clock, prin-
c%ipally ior the benefit OF ladies and chill.
dren-school children in p~ar,icular-a
matinee will be held.

NAMING III MEN
For the Ritchie District Ticket,

Last evening was the time set by the
Eighth ward Democratic CLUB Tor noml-
mating local or district officers to fill the
county, ticket. About S O'Clock a re-
porter found himself in the club room OF
that ward, where a large turnout was
earnestly discussing the situation, the
news from Maine and other political
matters.
About s O'Clock President J. W. Wait
called the meeting to order and stated
its object and the officers to be elected
for the district.
Tue first business to be transacted was
the selection OF a County Commission.
~. J. William Wait aud Jonas Z. Pick
cit we're placed in nomination. Frank
Dekin and James Garingan were sp.
pointed tclirrs and the voting proceeded.
Nr. Wait received f1rty.eight votes, to
Mr.. Pickett's twelve. Afterwards the
nomination was made unanimous.
Nominations Tor School Commissioner
were then made. Messrs. Jonas Pick
EFT, G. Adam Stoker and Henry SChae(-
er being suggested. BY an unanimous
vote Messr5. Pickett and StOker re.
ceived the nominations.
For Justice of the Peace Leander
Nix, the present incumbent, William
Thoner and J.. VIM. Wait were nomin-
ated, but as Mr.. Wait declined with
thanks, the nomination OF the other
TIVE gentlemen was made unanimous.
Messrs. Henry Mincckemeyer, Isaac
Lit,on and Henry Schultz were noml-
mated for Constables, but Messrs. Min
eckemeyer and LittOn receiving a major
ity of the votes, they were declared the
nominees.
The ticket is certainly a COOL one and
seemed to give the greatest satisfaction,
as was evinced by the enthusiasm
when VIM. Maxwell, Esq, the secretary
Of the club read the ticket. The club is
in a splendid condition, and in their
president they have man that they
swear By. He was spoken of as the
man VINO had attacked the Repub-
lican majority in Richie district when
he came there to live and had worked it
down until there was nothing left OF it.
He was repeatedly urged to accept the
office Of squire, but he refused as he
wanted to bend all his energies towards
the commissionership.
After some business in relation to
capes, and a few short speeches the club
adjourned in excellent spirits and more
than pleased with the men that they
hai nominated.
