What Our Correspondent Has to Say
About 1t.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:--The article In the
Repository of the 11th inst, giving an
account Of the Republican meeting at
this place was not 80 much Of success
as reported In the Repository. NOtwith-
standing the big effort made by the Re-
publicans on the occasion OF Col. D. |.
Beard, who was billed TO address the Re-
publicans, II turned out to be very
tame affair. About twO-thirds OF the
audience was composed OF Democrats,
the Republicans present occupied high
or positions than tbs Democrats on &C.
count of their prominence upon the
stage. After the meeting was called to
order by President +. D. COrl, who
thanked the audience time and again
for their liberal attendance, the speaker
began In bis usual way by appealing to
the voters to vote the Rep. ticket, because

party SHOULD be once more lead TO vic

his hearers about the grave abuses

when he stated ia his famous speech az
Columbus a few days ago about the skin-
ming of dead cOnVtcts and making skin

inals, cut.thrOats, horse thieves and
murderers, which perjury was evidently
committed upon the promise Of par

he next turned his attention TO the
county candidates, who made them
selves conspicuous uDon the stage, from |

after the meeting adjourned they with |
some Of our most prominent Republi- |
cans adjourned to near by eGlO0n and
there held forth until a rather late hour. |
He also spoke of James s Robinson, can
didate for Secretary of State, and ap- |
pealed to the voters to support him on |
account Of his gallant war record. He /
admitted that he could say nothing |
against the Hon. John Mcbride, Demo-
cratic candidate for Secretary of state. |
He is no doubt aware that the malicious
ISLANDERS that were circulated by some Of |
FOTeakeTs henchmen have all been |
promptly shown up as base falsehOOds,
circulated fer the purpose of making pO
litical capital, and that be stands to-day |
as the grand representative of the work |
ing class, against whose character and |
record nothing can be said. He also |
spoke of the national debt, abusing the /
Democratic administration for not keep /
ing their pledges In calling In o1tstand !
ing bonds, and saying that during the |
eighteen months of Democratic rule only |
fiFty-eight million dollars had heen pail |

He wound up by referring to the tar If |

that all the foreign criminals and out

not in favor Of taxing foreign immigra-
tion but was in favor Of stopping import

gave credit to tbs Republicans for. He
was evidently not aware that it was
that grand and noble champion of labor,
Martina. Forsn, of Cleveland, who iD-
trOduced the bill As for an increased
Republican vote The writer Is evidently
mistaken for we have seen quite num-
ber of Republicans who were not much
pleased with his speech, especially with |
that part where he referred to the Ad-
ministrstion and the bidding welcOms
to EurOpe's outlaws. McBride's majority
and the balance of the county ticket |
will have more of majority than ever
before, and old Bethlehem township
will help to swell the majority in Stark |
