LOGAN couRr HOUSE,, September "a
]. B. Jackson and Gov. Matthews spoke
at Boon Court House on Saturday. Gov.
Matthews speech, 1 was told, was mild
and temperate, while Jackson's was the re-
verse. The meeting was not large.
When / reached here to-day at eleven
o'clock / found the street in front Of the
Court House full Of men, and on entering
the Court House saw Uncle Jake with his
sleeves rolled up wadins into Garfield and
the Republicans generally. He made q
violent and ,unmanly speech. he spoke
OF Garfield as THAT most infamous OF al
men. James Abraham Garfield" and said
that The Radicals charged him with voting
Tor the ordinance OF secession. He fad.
mitted that be did vote Tor It, and never
regretted it; that he thought be was right
At the time, and had seen no reason since
for changing his opinion. He also said
that StuIgiss was rebel at the beginning
u the war, but soon alter became loyal
and now pleads the baby act. That he
was too old 10 plead the baby act and would
net do 1t. When he took q stand he gen;
orally lbided by It He said old Blll
stevenson had been lying about him IKE
hound; that the radicals charged him
with preaching the doctrine OF hate; thai
they charged him with saving at Fair
mont that he hated the Republican party
de asked, "Who the devil don't hate III,
Said he had been watching the boys, and
made reference to test oAths and registra
tion. He appealed in the most violent
manner TO the worst passions OF his
hearers, knowing as he did that they were
with him In sentiment and feeling, ane
lthinkipythat he was far beyond the react
Of reporters pencil. He said the radi
calls framed and adopted a constitution tol
\ West Virginia in the midst OF q civil war
and instead Of submitting II TO all the PEG
nIe Of the State, attached q test oath 10 thu
right Of suffrage and excluded iron
the ballot box those VINO would nav
opposed 1t. He said when the Democrat
came in power in the State they ionhs
the Treasury bankrupt, and that the kau
! icals stole 500 0D0 OF the irredemanI'
school fund. He loves to go back 70 IN.
days OF his childhood, to the old chuicl
where he worshipped, aud ne wanted u
90 back to the good old days OF his fathers
!, He boosted OF the progress OF the Stat
under Democratic rule, and said that tn
popula,ion had increased sixty per cent
IN fen years. / regret that l did not hay
The conyeniences to report his .entir
Ispeech. It would make rich reading 10
1 he readers OF the 1NTRLLloEScER.
| Col. Jackson's speech, considering tina
n he ia candidate for Governor oil o youn
and promising commonwealth, was a.
outrage upon the civilization oil the age
and while II had the tendency TO stimu
late the party in this Egypt OF Democracy
ihe enliehtened people OF the State ough
y, ~ c oI him 10 political oblivion.
| While am writing, the streets oil TIM
little yillage-thefe is but one streettTis re
sounding with yells and reasonable III
terances from scores OF drunken men
who apparently do not know that the re
bellion was crushed and the Union pre-
served. Logan county would give Jei
Davis almost solid vote, and Jake Jack
son, well knowing this fact, in his speed
approximates as near to him as ne can.
| i have neglected to mention his refer
ance 10 G. B. Caldwell, Esq, the Repu6li
can candidate for Attorney General. III
said that Caldwell, ina speech at Morgan
town, said "there was no hole In hell no
enough ior the Democrats" that Caldwell
was a little fellow, and that when he'Gain
to Logan county, as he understood hi
would in a few days. il he made use o
such an expression as that he hoped tina
they would find hole hot enough 10
Jackson was followed by Brown SAT-
Watts; gentleman by the name 0
French, late importation from Virginia
Jerome Shelter, Joel sollings. and theil
candidate for Circuit Judge in this OH
cult. ,Theentertainment concluded will
a laughable farce entitled Scenes at tn
Cincinnati Convention" by Judge Magi'
