HEARTY SUPPORT OF BLAINE.

The issue before voters in the
campaign is not one of men. but OF
measures. 1t is simply whether for
years the Government of the coun-
try is to be placed in the hands of
the Democratic or the Republican
party. The time to consider wheth-
er Blaine should be beaten was be-
fore his nomination. Now that he
has triumphed, no true man will
raise up his hand to defeat him,
unless he is an enemy to the Repue-
lican party. Is Mr. Blaine anything
but Republican from head to foot,
in sentiment, speech and action ?
Has he not been such for twenty
five years? Is he not such to-day

The Democrats are claiming that they are
going to reduce our majority in the county
next Tuesday to below twelve hundred.
Can they it, Republicans? We think not.
Garfield's majority was 1.65o, while that of
the county ticket was somewhat larger.
BY every Republican doing his duty, we
can increase this majority by at least two
hundred votes.

The entire village of kingwood came near
being destroyed by fire Sunday night. The
fire originated in the stable of Esquire Ger
hardt, and spread from there to Jacob Kre-
gar's store, Henry Shultz's house and the
Lutheran church. The stable was the only
building entirely consumed. The flames
were extinguished on the other buildings
before they had gained much headway or
much damage was done. 1t is thought that
the fire originated from the spark of cigar
being smoked by young man who went to
the stable for his horse.

TRUTH.

Republican meetings were held at Witten-
former two on the 2lst and the latter on the
22d inst. The meeting at Kennels Mills
was hold in the evening there was good
turnout, and it was a grand success. The
other two meetings having been held in the
day time they were not so largely attended,
especially the one at Wittenburg, but it was
none the less enthusiastic. A Blaine and
Logan pole raising at Sand Patch at the
same hour of the meeting, and public sale
in the neighborhood. kept mony persons
away that would otherwise have attended.
The meeting at Wellersburg was held in the
store of that veteran Republican, J. r. Brin-
ham, but owing to a rain that passed over
that community at the time of the meeting,
the turn out was not as large as it would
have been under more favorable circum-
stances. 1t is gratifying to Republicans to
see the deep interest the people are mani
testing in the success of the Republican par
ty at the coming election. The people seem
to be fully aroused to sense of their duty.
Never before. or at least not within the
knowledge of your correspondent, was toere
so much enthusiasm among the Republi-
cans as is manifested at this time. Old SOM
erset will increase her Republican majority
from three to FIVE hundred votes. Hon. J.
Nj. Campbell seems to be a favorite among
the people, and they will roll up an increas-
ed majority for him as an appreciation of
his efficient service TO his party while in
Congress. The number of fioppers from the
Democracy to the Republican party is daily
increasing. The people are not asleep. but
alive to the issues of the campaign, and
with such leakers as Blaine and Logan, vic
tory is fully assured. Prof. n. 3. Crichfield,
our candidate for Prothonotary, and DIR. B.
A. Fichtner, of Confluence, addressed the
meetings, discussing the issues in mastery

EDIroR HERALD Il want TO tell you how
ungentlemanly some of the Democrats be-
hayed while James G. Blaine was in this
city on October 9th. 1t was not known
that he would stop here TO speak until the
morning OF the 9th. when brief notice
was given to the people by a little handbill,
merely announcing the fact. Meanwhile
in the city quiet preparations were being
made to give Blaine hearty reception. Re
publican business places were beautifully
decorated, and many residences on East
Market and North Main streets to the rail-
road, were hung with flags. The carriage
which conveyed Blaine to the park was an
open one lined with fur and drawn by four
snow-white horses. Men, women and chill
dren cheered, and handkerchiefs were wav-
ed in every direction, fully six thousand
people being in the park. Blaine was ac-
companied by Judge Denny, of New York.
He made grand speech. Meanwhile Mr..
Blaine was engaged writing his autograph
for ladies, who passed their paper and pens
up to him on the stand. He shook hands
with all who could reaoh him, and was en-
Enthusiastically received by all Republicans.
Not so by some of the Democrats, who so
belittled themselves as to insult the future
President by throwing what purported to be
Mulligan letters, with the remark, " Multi
gan letters; Blaine wants you to.read them"
They had also the impudence to hand sew
eral to Mr.. Blaine while being driven
through the streets. l think the act was an
insult to every true Republican, and am
very glad that ! am not native of city
that is governed by such fellows. Excuse
me, can't CALI them gentlemenl. / feel
proud that Blaine first saw the light of day
in Pennsylvania. He is a good, and no.
