JUDGE HOADLY AT zOAR.
A Grand Gathering and Telling and Ar,
gumentatiVe Speech.


JUDGE HoADLY'S meeting at ZOar on
Thursday evening was large and enthu-
/ siastic, and the noble speech of the ora
tor was listened to with close attention,
| interrupted only with occasional ap-
plause elected by his telling points and
happy hits. The Judge spoke near two
| hours.
Excursion trains on the Wheeling Il
Lake Erie brought crowds from all di-
rectiOns and from a considerable dis
tance. Uhrichsyille was well represen-
ted, and furnished the chairman for the
meeting in the Honorable Beriah Will
ktns, Member Of Congress from that dis
trict; New Philadelphia, Canal Dover,
Mineral Point, etc, iii those directions,
were fully on hand; while MassilIOn,
Navarro, Canton and other points from
Stark, were by no means behind in their
representation. The Navarro, Bolivar,
ZOar and Canton City bands furnished
abundance of good music to enliven the
occasion. The good people of ZOar did
everything to make the meeting a sue
cess, and were given three TOusing
cheers and cOmplimented by Judge
HOadly and others.
We CantOnians were greatly disap-
pointed in the delay of our train leaV-
ing, being at 8:20 instead of 81 as ad-
yertised, not reaching ZUar till after 9
o'clock. On arriving at ZOar station we
formed in line by twOs and followed the
music of the band to the grounds, in
time to hear Judge HOldly a half or
three-quarters of an hour. The speaker
continued his able remarks on the wool
tariff and the conduct of the late Re-
publican Congress and a Republican
President who was endorsed by the Re-
publican state convention that nOmi-
mated Foraker. He exposed the hollow
promise in the Republican state plat
form as to wool in promising to restore
II on the first opportunity" They had
had the opportunity last winter, and the
same President and Republican Senate
that reduced the tariff on imported wool
while they favored wOOllen goods, would
continue in power until March 4, 1885.
When, then, would "the first OppOrtuni-
ty" come? In fact, it was only hollow
promise, for the party had had 'the Op-
pOrtunity."
Judge HOadly dissected the Republi-
can platform with the skill of a master,
and showed that his opponent, Judge
Foraker, had not read it, or if he had,
did not understand it. His happy illus
tratiOns and points were we'll calculated
to impress his positions upon his hear
ers, which was indicated by frequent
applause.
After the conclusion of Judge Hoad-
ly's speech, the chairman, Mr.. wilkins,
said he understood A. McGregor OF Can
ton, was in the crowd, and called upon
him to respond. Mr.. McGregOr was glad
to see so large a gathering to hear and
greet the next Governor of Ohio, and
was only sorry, as were all the friends
from Canton, that our train was delay
ed nearly two hours. There were yOun-
ger men than him from Canton, better
able to talk, and named VIM. A. Lynch,
who was loudly called for by the crowd,
and chairman wilkins.
MIR. Lynch came forward and respond
ed IN Few happy remarks, which were
well received and applauded. The chair
man called on L. G. Cole ESQ.,,
for few words, who aequit-
TED himself in his usual happy
style. He was interrupted by T. w.
SaXtOn, asking him If he favored re-
peal of the Scott law. Mr.. Cole respOn-
ded promptly, saying he believed the
Scott law unconstitutional. and if elect
ed he should vote accordingly. Now,
Mr.. SaxtOn, please inform me where
your candidates stand. Tom did not re-
SpOnd, and the crowd applauded Mr.
Cole. A man that asks question should
be ready to answer a question, but that
was not the case with neighbOr Saxton.
We advise Tom to be better prepared
next time, or send some one that is.
The chairman also called upon Hon.
&. W. Critics for a few remarks, who
promptly came forward and expressed
himself. Mr.. Critics is Democratic can
didate for reelection to the General
Assembly from Tuscarawas county.
The meeting closed with three cheers
for HOadly as the next Governor of Ohio;
three cheers for John G.. Warwick, aud
three cheers for the good people of ZOar.
The bands diseOursed some good mu-
sic, and thereafter marched into town
and serenaded Judge HOadIy at the hO-
tel, who happily thanked them in few
words, and cOmplimented the good peo.
pie of Zoar.
The CantOnians marched to the sta
tiOn to the music of the band, and after
some delay started for home, where we
arrived at 1919 a. m.
