DEAR FREEMAN left Cherrytree on last Tues
day morning, Sept. 14th, having been subponnied
by the Commonwealth to attend Court and testify
Arriving at Indiana at O'Clock P. NJ proceeded
direct to the Court House, expecting to hear the
put of until the December term, on account Of
popular opinion being so strong against the pris-
dubbed, though not one OF the parties implicated

and opportunity To take in the political excite
ment attendant upon the varying accounts re-
Democrats and Greenbaekers were exultant over

speech simply 10y his disappointed and woe begone
countenance, such was the startling effect OF the
on Wednesday up till O'Clock, Z. NJ. Republicans
hung their heads whilst Democrats nodding to
street. sung out - How is Mane?" But there
is tide in the affairs OF meR, : and MIR. Blaine
saw fit to stop the debiitating effects of such news
by despstching that later returns coming in show
large Republican gains, and Davis eight hundred

of the younger enthusiasts are for carrying the

But, nevertheless, torchlights, uniforms, banners
winding up with Republican meeting in the
Court House, addressed by their paid tool, Mr.
Mason, who, weak man as he is, advocated and
upheld measures and institutions which but two
short years ago he denounced rs infamous Repub-
lcan wrongs, and that too, from the very identical
same platform, and in the same house. and, worst
of all, to many OF the same audience Notably the
national banking system, which Mr.. Mason two
years ago denounced rs one OF the most infamous
acts of Republican legislation, he now claims be
the best system that the world ever knew. Can
Mason explain the change 1t certainly IL not in
the ba ing system.
After MT. Mason had INDUCED in a great
many such Inconsistencies, during which he refer
red several times to book lot of papers held in
his hand, and of which at regular intervals he
turned a leaf not only demonstrating to the audi
ence n retentfve memory worthy of a twelve-y ear
old school-boy, but n soiled and much used book,
for which he deserved punishment Mr.. Grow
took the stand and treated us to ono of the old
style bloody shirt harangucs, and not being blessed
with talent Tor committing his piece TO memory,
and having lost some OF his documents he could
not tell within three hundred million dollars the
amount OF our exports for the year 1879, but after
laundering over it. in some way he made the de-
sired point and passed on, seemingly conscious OF
his ability to make out the treasurer's report for
any number OF years from memory alone.
But taking all things together-the presence Of
the normal school their beautiful rendering OF
John Browns body lies mouldcring in the grave, :"
etc, and also The Blarsvills club and brass band
with its soul-cheering music. as well rs the alb
scnce OF many other speakers like the ones above
named-it might oc considered a success; and il
they failed to mako any Republican votes rejoice
TO know that at least they made one Democratic
voter.
Voters, like lovers, need opposition. abuse etc.
to make them stick, and my best wish FOR the sue
cess Of the fusion ticket here is that Mason and
Grow may stump this district from Dan 10 Bershe-
/ ba. all need is 10 up to past record
and White will lay stiff and cold after election
day, when We VIII leave him u his own TOR burial.
