-ENTHUsfAsrIc MEETING AT MT- MoRIAH-
GOO PEOPLE PRESENT. EDITOR HERALD
One of the grandest demonstrations and
most enthusiastic meetings it has ever been
our lot to witness, took place at Mt. Moriah.
in Quemahoning township, on Friday even
ing, the 18th inst. The Stoyestown and
Jenner Y Roads Blaine and Logan Clubs
were present. in full regalia. Three drum
corps and brass band furnished music for
the occasion. The scene presented as the
two clubs met each other coming in from
different directions, swinging their lights
as they marched in true military style,
beggars description. The meeting was or
ganized in the " "wigwam" by calling MIR.
Wendell Winters to the chair. Fred W.
Biesecker. Esq, opened the meeting with
speech that was full of the most genuine ar
ticle of I" campaign thunder" and which
called forth frequent expressions of ap-
plause In closing his speech he remarked
that he did not wish TO occupy much time,
that John H. Jordan, Esq, of Bedford
county, was present. and that as this was
probably the last evening Mr.. Jordan would
spend in the county during this campaign, |
we wanted to get as much from him before
he left As possible. Before retiring from the
rostrum Nhe introduced Mr.. Jordan, who
stepped forth amid the loudest cheers, and
for nearly two hours held an audience of
GOO people almost as by magic, with as able
a discussion of the parties and principles
now clajh lining the attention of the American
people As it has ever been our lot to listen
to. Those who failed to hear Mr.. Jordan /
during his visit to our county, have sustain
ed a loss that can not easily be repaired.
At the close of Mr.. Jordan's remarks Prof.
n. B. Critchfeld was called for, but having
spoken at this place once before during the
campaign, and being at home where. he
said, the people could hear him almost
every day. he would not enter into what
might be called speech, but nevertheless
be IN few well chosen words, added con-
siderable spice to the solid food served by |
the other speakers. The effects of this
meeting will be felt for many miles from
this place Let the echo of the enthusiasm |
that burst forth on Friday evening from the
sides of this ancient mountain, be caught up |
by our fellow Republicans all over the
county, and let us, as a solid phalanx.
march forth under those grand, old-time
leaders. Blaine, Logan and Campbell, to the
most signal victory ever achieved by the !,
Republicans of this county.
