On Saturday evening last the Garfield
and Arthur Club turned out and paraded
the principal streets. The Hon. Waitman
7. Wiley, Of Morgantown, being in town
for the purpose OF addressing the citizens,
the club proceeded to his hotel and
escorted him to the Court House. In
very few minutes the room was packed
with an attentive audience, among whom
were large number OF ladies'.
Mr.. Wiley addressed the meeting for
over an hour. His remarks we're calm,
plain and dispass ionate, and were well cal
culated to make lasting impressions upon
the minds Of his hearers There are few
men who understand the important issues
OF the campaign and who know how to
explain them TO an audience better than
Mr.. Wiley. He paid fitting tribute to
Abraham Lincoln as man and a states
man, also to Hon. James A. Garfield, both
OF which were greeted with storms OF sp-
plause. After Mr.. Wiley had concluded
]. Dunbar, ESQ.,, OF Sleubenvillo, who was
present by invitation, made brief and
telling speech. 1t was to the point and was
we'll received. Mr.. Dunbar is fine
speaker and Is great fayoriie here.
AT the close Of the meeting e.. w. Cald-
we'll, Chairman, announced that John A.
Hutchinson would 81 eak here on Monday,
September eth, oft rnoon and evening.
A vote Of thanks was rendered the ladies'
present for their attendance at the meet
ing, also the speakers, and with three cheers
Tor Garfield and Arthur aud three for
Sturgiss, the meeting adjourned. 1t was
conceded by all present TO be the best
meeting oi the campaign.
The Greenback Club was also out on
parade Saturday evening. They and the
Garfield Club passed eech other at the
Court House, the GreenbaCkers halted,
came to a front and presented arms, the
Garfield club tipping their caps Our
Greenback brelhern almost spoiled the
good impression made by presenting arms
by allowing their drum corps, while again
passing the Court HUuse, TO hammer away
with all their might, thereby disturbing
the meeting in the court room. Each
party should have the forelhought and
respect TO stop their mnsic while passing
any point where q meeting Ia being held.
1t does not cost any thing and goes a
great ways towards harmony.
That Democratic streamer that bore the
oit.repeated question OF the past few days,
"Haye you heard from MPine?" which was
conspicuous on the columns Of the Court
House, during the Democratic meeting
on Wednesday evening, was found by
some OF the Garfield boys on the floor Of
the court room in bad shape. 1twas taken
care Of, aud, as it was evident that our
brethren oil the opposite faith never had
any use for 1t, and would not have any
this campaign, It was utilized and placed
inside where all could see 1t. A clear case
OF '.to the victols belong the spoils."
Through some misunderstanding the
Hancock boys who went TO Wheeling Sat
urday evening, did not get home until
three o'clock Sunday morning, although
the train left Wheeling at H. 05 p. VI. Sat
urday. It is said that the train wss divi-
ded by some one uncoupling. There is
considerable difference OF opinion as TO
the particulars. Most OF yesterday was
consumed by the sinners in giving in
their experience. q. b. q.
