Last Saturday,, the 21st inst, was
set apart as the liberal quantity of
posters scattered broadcast over the
county informed the people, for a
"Republican Rally" at which time
the Mason County Republican Club
would hold a ratification meeting
at the Court House. The further
enticing announcement was made
that there would be especial rates
on cars and boats,' and that Col T.
B. Swami, of Charleston, Judge P.
B. Stanberry, of Ohio, and other
prominent speakers would unfold
the divine beauties of Protection
policy. This was the second an
nouncement of a ratification meet
ing, the previous one for July 9TH,
having been withdrawn, and longer
time given in order to advertise the
meeting and marshal the hosts of
followers of the "dollar day and
two meals" candidates, All Ben, the
friend of the Chinese, and his run
ming mate the Grand Duizc Levi, of
Wall street. The 21st came, so did
Col. Swami, but the crowd came
not, especial rates on cars and boats"
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
There were not n hol,or'S dozan in
to ratify, and in truth and fact, there
were less people le"c Saturday than
there usually is. The only speaker
was Col Swami, and his speech was
but re-hash of the prophecies of
what is found in Republican papers
that is: that the election of Har-
rison and Morton is assured, and
that the Democracy will ruin the
country with free trade. 1t was
listened to by empty benches. Com
ment upon this, the first ratification
meeting held by the Republican
managers of this county is unneces-
sary, but it is safe to say that it
shows that the enthusiasm of the
people" that we hear so much
about from our Republican brethren,
could be tied up in Il rag and carried
around in your vest pocket, without
being aware of its existence.
