time 10 dlSSect the Ood results OF raising q
man OF straw for the purpose OF knocking
il down. No party in this country pro-
posed TO do away with the tariff, and he
wanted no better authority on that subject
that an able editorial on that subject by
the Hon. A. w. Campbell, which he read
tn the audience. From March 4th, 1875, to
March 4th, 1881, the Democrats had an
overwhelming majority in the House, and
during nine-tenths OF that time they
had for their speaker the lead
ing tariff man in the country,
the Hon. Sam Kendall. During these six
years when they could have easily done so
bad desired, the Democratic party had
passed no free trade measures. The
most prominent free trade papers in
the country were the great Republicans,
which we know as the New York Times,
New York Ereaing Post, Chicago Tribune,
Cincinnati Commercial, Springfield Republic
can, Boston Herald, and many others. Tariff
and free trade were not party
questions anu mems opinions nm
these questions were influenced
by interest and locality. Republican Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Michigan and other
agricultural States we're free trade, while
Democratic West Virginia, with her entire
Democratic delegation in Congress, had
ever been Tariff Gibraltar. He said that
Col Ben Wilson had ever been true, and
that when our people heard Mr.. Good at
the Capitol, Saturday evening, it would be
easy for them to believe that he would
better represent Wheeling in this matter,
than the handsome and fair-spoken granger
from Harrison.
Mr.. p. then touched upon
Gen. COTS Prohibition proclivities and
drew picture of the Generals address at
Wellsburg with his banner up there
labelled: "Gof snd Temperance" He
wondered whether the General would
speak To his German friends in Ritchie-
town and cause the same banner to be hung
up After speaking st SOME length on this
question, Mr.. P, who has been suffering
from q severe cold for some weeks and
whose voice was showing signs of weak
ness, announced that he could not, on &C
count of his cold, speak any further. He
thanked his hearers and exhorted them all
to vote for Good. He regretted very much
that his disability prevented him from
speaking upon many other matters OF which
be had desired to call their attention.
Mr.. II. 7. Frame followed Mr.. Pendleton.
Mr.. Frame said, in substance:
Ohio county ought TO have local pride
enough to vote for her own son, as against
man who is to them stranger. In Har-
rison they are trying to form clubs, based
on nome prluo. 1ney HuHt W nave - tuoy

Congressman from their county. Men OF
Ohio, do as you did four years ago, when
the Hon. J. r Hubbard, the Republican
candidate for Congress, ran in this district,
when you gave him, even in this Demo-
cratic county, 400 majority. On the same
basis Good ought to get 700 majority.
Tariff is local issue. Look at the great

free trade, and vet il has more Republic.
