Grand Garfield and Arthur Meeting
at Cooksburg.

On the 9TH inst, your correspondent
had the pleasure Of enjoying the kind
hospitality of Judge Cook, upon whose
door the "latch.string is always out"
The Judge soon made known the fact
that the Garfield and Arthur club, Of
which organization he is President,
would meet that evening, and we were
most cordially and kindly invited to
stay, and join in the good work now
being done all through this great
country.
At dusk the people began to gather,
and by $50 p. nl., the hum ofGarfeld
and Arthur voices silenced the roaring
waters of the Clarion. The crowd
soon proceeded to the school house
where the meeting was called to order
by the Chairman. Proceedings Of
previous meeting were read, after
which q number of others joined those
already on the rolls, sending the men,
bership to forty, and which in q few
weeks will number one hund dred. The
usual business being concluded, Mr..
Berry of Fagundas, who was present,
was loudly called for, and addressed
the meeting with short, off-hand
speech, which created good feeling
among all. Then followed Mr.. Calvin,
with we'll prepared speech, which
would do credit to any audience; it
was clear and forcible statement,
showing conclusively to all intelligent
listeners the reasons why the Repub-
lican party should be continued in
power.
We saw the familiar faces ofJudges
Cook and Kerr. The former briefly
addressed the meeting after Mr. Calvin.
Also our good old friend Tommy Maze,
who is the Captain Of the Co. Judge
Coon was followed by Mr.. DobSon,
who has an unusual amount of Repub-
lican fire in his eye, and knows how to
throw it out. On the whole the meeting
was grand success, and cannot be
otherwise with such men as are the
leaders of this organization.
A vote Of thanks was rendered Mr.
Berry for his hearty response and
appropriate speech.
Grand old Barnett will roll up sucl
a Republican majority as never before
in her history.
We were Informed by Judge Cool
that Garfield and Arthur pole viii
be raised during the campaign, at hi
place. Gen. Harry White will be
present aud deliver one ofhis excellen
addresses. Due notice will be giver
in your columns Of the time and place
so that all who desire to do SO may
join us. VOLTA Tout.

The new book entitIe,.
Speeches and Public Service oi =
eral James A. Garfield" is out and
canvassers are at work taking orders
for the same. 1t is very handsomely
printed and bound book, and would
ornament any library. The subject of
the work is to-day one of the mos
illustrious men of the times, and one
in whom all Americans are more or
less interested. Aside from his can
didacy, the life from boyhood to the
present day of one so eminent is alone
sufficient to arouse a great deal of
interest in the hearts Of the American
people but being the candidate ofthe
greatest and noblest party that ever
existed, for President, makes the life
of Gen. Garfield ofstill greater interest
and Importance to every citizen.
Every young man should read it and
learn a lesson Of industry and energy.
The book is written by Russell II.
Conwell, author Of the Life Of Pres.
ident Hayes" and Life of Bayard
Taylor" Besides the life Of General
Garfield, the book contains a full and
graphic sketch of Gen. Chester A.
Arthur, candidate for Vice President.
Mr.. John Heath has the agency for
this county, and has already good

to hear that every Republican, at least,
who can spare the money, has sub
scribed tor the work. The price is
