Mr.. EDITOR:
The campaign on the Democrat
ic side was formally opened here last
Saturday evening, by a rOusing ratifi
cation meeting. Speeches we've deliv-
cred by w. A. Morrison, Esq, J. L.
Spangler, Esq, D. F. FortneY, Esq,
w. c. Heinle, Esq, and few happy
remarks by Maj r. H. Forster, all of
BellefOnte. The speeches were first
class, the best of feeling prevailed, the
enthusiasm for the superb" Hancock
was without bounds. The Democracy
of Brush Valley is thoroughly aroused
and will do a big thing in November.
Mark it, Mr.. Elitor.
