Hon. Geo. Loo,nis.

Hon. Geo. LOOMS.
This gentleman addressed the vo-
Gers at the Court House Monday af-
ternoon. There was good audience
present, composed Of men Of all par
ties, and he was listened to patiently
and attentively throughout his three
hours speech.
smarting under the fagellation
that Mr.. Gibson had given him at
Parkersburg and at Spencer, in Roane
county, he occupied the opening, by
congrdtulating himself on being per-
mitted TO appear before Mason
county audience, after an absence Of
SO many years; and then devoted
about half an hour of his time to
matters personal to himself, claim
ing that he was driven to do SO by
the charges brought against him by
Mr.. Gibson. Getting through with
his personal explanation, he unrolled
his manuscript and commenced to
read acarefully prepared speech, (the
same he delivered at Parkersburg and
spencer.) He first took up State
matters, "a subject he had nothing to
do with and discussed them at some
length, taking him about two hours
toget through with this branch of
his subject. After disposing of tho
State matters to his entire satisfact-
ion, he delivered very pretty little
Temperance speech, occupying about
five minutes for this. Then he de-
voted the remainder Of his time to
National matters, and telling why he
should be elected to Congress. He
made a strong appeal to the younger
element of both parties to come to
his support, but he appealed in vain
SO far as the young democracy of Ma
son county is concerned. From his
speech we concluded that he had but
little hopes of an election himself, or
of the election Of Republican Con-
gresham in any of the Districts of
the State. He daubed DR.. Barbee all
over with "taffy." What his object
was we could not discover, but no
doubt the kind, complimentary words
and flattery dealt out to the Doctor,
was very pleasant to his ears, for as
the Speaker referred to him we could
see him "grinning" all over.
In justice to the speaker, we must
say that his speech was well pre-
pared and well delivered.
Before Mr.. LOOMS came here, he
arranged with Hon. c. E. Hogg for a
joint discussion, and it was fully ex-
pectcd that his promise and arrange
ment with Mr.. Hogg would be faith
fully carried out. The matter was
laid before the Republican County
Executive Committee, and they re-
fused to permit the joint discussion
Mr.. LOOMS had agreed to. 1t showed
u species of cowardice that only Re-
publican officials can be guilty of,
and proved also that they were afraid
to let their candidate meet this able
and popular young gentleman in
joint discussion, knowing full well
that LOOMS, with all his age and ex-
perience, would have been badly
worsted in the discussion.
Mr.. Hogg did, however, at the close
Of their meeting, make an explana.
ton of the matter, and in about &
ten minutes speech, replied forcibly
and convincingly to some of the
assertions made by the Hon. Geo.
Loomis.
The failure of this joint discussion
was a great disappointment to the
people.

Adhere 10 The Usages of the
Party.


Greenbrier Independent: The duty
of all true Democrats in the present
political contest is TO adhere to the
usages Of the party and to support its
regular nominees. 1t is plain to the
careful observer Of passing events
that no relief to the people can be
expected from the present Republi'
can dynasty. Every measure which
has been proposed in Congressby the
Democrats, looking to reduction Of
taxation, has been opposed and de
feated by the Republican majority oil
a Republican President. The scheme
OF a Tariff Commission was devised
by Republican Congress in order tc
escape the pressure which demanded
reduction of the tariff, and the
members of that Commission were
appointed by Republican President
in the interest of a high protective
tariff. The fabulous millions now
being collected under the present sys
TEN and transferred to the Treasury
impose onerous and unnecessary bur
thens upon an already over taxed
people, and every effort on the par
Of the Democracy to relieve the OPP
pressed people has been foiled, as W,
have before stated, by the power o
those who control the Government
The people can only expect relic
through the Democratic party, anc
any other hope or device is a snare
and a cheat.

The Oyster Com mission.

Reuben Fowler, of Guilford received in ! April last designation of four hundred acres of oyster grounds, and Horace Fowler, o1 l the same town, a tract of seven hundred and thirteen acres. Since that time there has ] been dispute about the tract and yesterday morning the shell fish commission adjusted the claims. Each party receives the amount of area called for by the deeds, with only slight changes of location, and the limits are now defined so that there be no further disputes
 The deeds for 45O acres which Henry c. Rowe had applied for off this harbor were ready for delivery yesterday, but Mir. Rowe said he did not want them as he found the bottom worthless for oyster cultivation. He wanted to amend the application so that it should cover new territory, and thought it only fair that the surveying fee of ten cents an acre, which he had paid on the old application, should apply to the new. In &C., cordance with 0 ruling made last week on a similar case the commissioner refused to comply with this request.
 Since last week applications haveAbesn re- ceived as follows: B. H. White, 60 acres ln Norwslk Charles E. Palmer, 200 acres in Greenwich; Hoyt Brothers, 6 acres in Strat. ford W. A. Woodward, of New Haven, GAO
