Grand Democratic MeetiBg-General
and Personal Notes.
VIM Hunt, Of ST. Clairsville, q well
known colored Democrat, and Mr. Bur
nett, Of Bridgeport, also colored Demo
crat, delivered political speech in Silch's
Hall. The auditorium WAS comfortably
filed when Mr., Gallager presented Mr..
Hunt to the crowd The speaker is pretty
well posted in politics, and has au abun,
dance Of knowledge pertaining to slavery.
After speaking about an hour the gentle.
man WIS succeeded by Mr.. Burnett, who
said "Twcntycight years ago was n
slave and thank the administration that
set me free. II was not the Republican
party that did the good work but it was
under Republican administration. 6l do
not want that party turned out because it is
composed mostly Of star route thieves; not
because Of its work in the ELECTORAL Com
mission. or because OF the fraud OF TG. ]
would put them out because they have been
in power TOO long, and it is time that the
books were examined Continuing, he
told about the horrible work done by the
Republicans in the South during the cam.
raign Of Hayes and Tilden. Negroes were
slaughtered for political purposes by the
politicians and the news teIegraphed
TO the North as Democratic outrages on
he negroes" He cited prominent Republi-
cans who had died in the Democratic party.
The speaker gave the Democratic candidate
a deserving compliment, as follows "Mr
Warner. your candidate for Congress is be-
ng abused by bis opponents, who recognize
in him hard man TO beat Be on your
,uard General Warner never did an I'M
Just thing to the soldier. He was q brave
warrior, and always kept TO the front in the
charge No home guard in has. Although
badly wounded, he has never applied for
a pension. The Republican party is q
moral perty to hear its speakers tell about
it. 1t is for any measure that will make the
rich man richer, and the poor man poorer.
The grand old party, is also great friend
Of the Irish at present. Yes, my friends,
they tell you that now, but twenty years ago
they asserted that the Democratic party was
made up Of nothing but Irish and lopeared
Dutch" Mr.. Burnett talked about other
matters, and touched up the tariff. After
he had concluded, Mr.. Hunt made .
few further remarks. Said he: Mr.. W. 4.
Hunt, ont at ST. Clairsville. has got every
coIored voter, but himself, in the place
pledged to vote the Republican ticket
The meeting was very orderly, and when
the speakers left the ball there Was no need
Of police protection, as there was in Wheel
ing The two gentlemen remained in the
city all day yesterday.
