Correspondence OF the STANTON VINDICAToR.1
AS there seldom is any news sent to you
from Koiner's Store, will write few
lines to let our friends Of the county know
that we are at work trying to do our best
for Cleveland and Hendricks. On Satur-
day, the 4th, tie Republicans at Red
Mills, under the supervision of some Of
their friends from Stounton, raised Blaine
and Logan pole. At the same time they
made their boast to Democrat who was
present that his party was too week to
raise pole for Cleveland and Hendricks.
The Democrats put their heads and hands
to work, and in seven days, Saturday, the
11th, at l O'Clock, they raised a~pole, not
more than thirty feet from the Blaine one,
II feet high, with a banner on it 73x15
feet, with Cleveland. Hendricks, and
Tucker on it, in letters large enough to be
read one fourth of mile. l must not forget
to say that the fair ladies of Koiner's
Store made the flag. AS soon as the pole
was up and secured in the ground, three
rousing cheers were given for Cleveland,
Hendricks and Tucker.
After the pole raising was over Capt.
Charles Grattan of your city, took the
stand and delivered to US good, sound,
common sense speech, showing up how
the Republicans have been deceiving and
robbing the people for years past, and Civ
ing short sketch OF the past lives of the
two candidates now before the people,
which showed as night is to day. There
were present some of Blaine's followers
who know will not digest some of his
speech we'll as it was not the kind of diet
they are used to. 1t was the first Demo-
cratic speech delivered in this part of the
county for thirty years. [ will close for
fear of intruding on your space. K.
