Political p oints.
The Republican meeting held on Satur-
ay evening and which was to be IAN old
lime reprising" was addressed by the Hon.
Em. P. Hubbard and 0. G. Scofeld, Esq.
he audience numbered about two hundred
tn fully one half Democrats. Mr.. Hub
ard was the first speaker and will form
Republican stand point, but his
tempt TO deceive the voters by
a statement that certain manufacturing
establishment situated in Wheeling paid
axes to the amount of $1,000, while
,lmilar establishment over in Ohio paid
considerable less was little thin. He for.
cot to tell his audience how much of the
.boye sum consisted of county and city
axes, but left the impression that the State
bsOrbed the whole amount. Mr.. Hubbard
anne out HAT .footed in favor Of Mr.. Blaine
.rand gift and distribution enterprise, claim
ng it TO be fair, just and proper way to
ispose of the surplus revenue in the
reasury. He assured the audience that If
Mr. Blaine was successful and the Republi-
ans secured majority in Congress, that
be enterprise would surely go on. 1t GER
ainly is pretty scheme and would be
nice thing for our State, but he never
pnce alluded TO the fact that it would
Ne still nicer to let this revenue remain in
he hands of the people, and thus save the
arge percentage and salaries to be paid col
l2ciiug aud discussing officers. Mr.. SEQ
ield followed Mr.. Hubbard in about the
anne strain, he began hy stating that it was
Necessary that men should diner in their
,pinions, stating as his opinion that Mrs.
Scofeld was the prettieSt woman in
all this land, but he did not wish
others to think as he thought upon this
ioatter for fear they might try to induce her
forsake him. He charged the Democrats
with having purloined the mreducible school
fund when the constitution of the State ab-
.olutely prohibited such acts. Does Mr..
Scho6eld not know that the self same instru-
rnent declares that this fund shall be invest
ID in government or State securities which
he Democrats have done. Whilst Mr..
hubbard was celebrating upon the great
,I-ssings which, towards the laboring classes,
n friend at your reporter elbow, and by the
way Republican, asked if the miners of
he Hooking Valley were receiving some of
he blessings, in the shape of cheap Hun
-;arisn labor. The question will not be
answered this year. Taking it all
in all the first meeting of the
:. O. P. was a failure in this place.
not hurrah could be head. Although
Mr.. Hubbard is a pleasing speaker and
well calculated to arouse enthusiasm. We
predict different state of things when +.
Willis Wilson appears on Saturday evening,

Jaky sheet in Bellaire finds great use for
such choice tit bits as scoundrel

When speaking of his political
opponents, bvt we venture the assertion
that there is not an eight BY ten sheet pub
lished anywhere that contains more infa
mously false statemedts than the sheet
called the Tribune, Fsr eqample he says
that Governor Cleveland vetoed the bill
abolishing child labor in the Charitable and
Reformatory Institute otthe State, when ne
knows the statement to be false, for he bill
received the Governors signature and is
now law of the State. The Benwood band
