The Republicans here have never be-
fore been 80 much aroused 80 far in I'D.
vance Of election as they are now. satur-
day evening they organized club oil 2Ss
members nshort notice. The boys had
the band out, the court room festooned
with flags, streamers, &c. The meeting
was largely attended and was called to
order by Maj. &C. Moore, who took oe-
casion to review the history Of General
Garfield, and call attention 70 the diher-
ence between him and me DemocI a.a 10
candidate as TO their fitness lor tme ONCE ny
a. President. On motion, hon: Ihos; W.
Harrison was called TO the chair, and A.
Z. Hustled, Esq., was made Secretary,
prof O. W. Lynch was next called for
and made such q ringing speech that he
snTnrised even his friends. Put It down,
Gbas, W. Lynch Is one Of the best speakers
N tbis State and he must not be overlook
ed by those who are in search OF effective
Campaign orators. He belongs 10 that
olass who never put themselves forward,
but who are worth calling out
Short speeches were also made by Gen.
Northcott, A. L. Hustead, Esq, Charles
Ankrum and John Boyerg. Mr.. Anrum
and Mr.. Boyers are colored men, but know
how TO make some thrusts at the Democ-
racy. They were formerly slayes-men
who. II they had dared to utter 25 years
ago In the Harrison County Court House
such remarks as they made last Saturday
evening, would have been prosecuted oy
Col. Ben. Wilson, under Judge Camden
on the bench, II they had escaped with
their lives from an infuriated Democratic
mob. Yet they behaved themselves well,
as well as anybody, immeasurably better
than the Democrats did at their late con-
vention here. 80,
A resolution was passed inviting Hon,
John A. Hutchinson, Republican candi.
date for Congress, TO open his campaign
by addressing the club here at such time
as suited him.
The leading features Of the meeting
were:
LIST, 1t was large and enthusiastic. S
I'd, Almost perfect order prevailed.
Sd, The large proportion oil young men
who took active part in the cheering, ap.
plauding, &c. Thelargest partof the crowd
were young men, l should say, under
thirty years Of age, many OF whom VIII
cast their first vote this fall.
4th, Another feature was several Dem
ocrats who enrolled were young men who
had been reared under the strongest kind
OF Democratic influence and surroundings.
The Republicans have, indeed, started a
boom, and they propose to Just keep
things booming from this until victory
perches on our glorious old Republican
banner in this State at the fall elections.
We feel that the time has come for knock
ing the bottom out OF Democracy, and we
are going TO do 1t. II Democrats have not
been lying for twelve years, they don't
want q military man for President.
We are going to make them lie
loud IL they vote the Democratic
ticket. II they nave ever advocated the
Greenback doctrines and the abolition OF
the National banks, and the free coinage
of silver with one particle OF sincerity, we
are going to appeal to them to show US q
line In the Cincinnati platform, or It's can
didates, that can be textured into mean
ing any such thing. In short we propose
TO make them feel that they are either
men and have right Of individual iudg.
ment and action, or just less up at once
that they have no more political rights, or
liberty OF action than II they were drove
Of green Kentucky mules being driven
from market to market in search OF the
highest bidder. We know that two short
weeks ago the whole Democratic party
professed to be opposed to military men
ior President; that two weeks ago nine Of
every ten Democrats in West virginia
were ayowed Greenbackers. But their
party bosses have ordered them to surren-
der their convictions on those questions
and stand still while they cram down their
throats the opposite doctrines. l can't
believe that flesh and blood can endure 1t.
