THE meeting last saturday was an
entire success, barring the disagreeable
state of the weather. During all fore
noon it looked rather doubtful whether
the meeting would be a meeting at al
and the committee hesitated whether
to arrange the outside or inside of the
Town Hall. The latter place was at
last decided upon.
Early in the afternoon the rain and
mist gave promise to hold up little
and people began to come in at lively
rate. At about two O'Clock the large
hall was we'll filed and the meeting or
tganized. Judge Frank presided, assist.
ed by a number of vice presidents and
secretaries. Hon. John ID. Stiles, OF
Allen town was the first speaker. For
upwards of an hour he entertained the
audience in a very able manner on the
political questions of the day. Mr..
Stiles speech is highly spoken of by all
that heard it. When he had taken his
seat loud calls for "Curtin" came from
every part of the hall. The grand old
| Governor did not suffer the audience to
wait long. The, moment he arose the
applause became almost wild, nor did
it abate in the least until he was
through with his speech of over an
hours length.
To say that Gov. Curtin made an a.
BILE speech would be putting the matter
mildly. He speaks rs Gov. Curtin on
ly can speak. Ills special points were
the Pennsylvania Ring Bosses, the
Tariff, the Increasing Expenses of the
State Government, the Homestead
Law for Actual Settlers and Speaker
KUer. The audience was delighted
with Gov. Curtin's speech and the cleo
tion will tell the high estimate in
which he is held by the people in this
district.
Altogether it was good meeting,
and we are glad to note the excellent
order and absence of drunkenness that
prevailed thrOuSnOuC.
