gustus Pollack will address Republic
can mass meeting in the Alhambra rink,
Eighth ward, this evening. Mr.. Atk,n-
son will speak in English and Mr..
Pollock in German. Both speeches, it
is safe to say, will be worthy OF the ut
tention OF every voter in Wheeling, and
there is reason to believe that the meet
sng will be one Of the largest OF the
campaign.

escorted from Dir. Pollack's residence

lican club regiment Of the city. Col. W.

Colonel Travis orders ought to have
the effect OF bringing out every Republi.
can who is able to leave his business and
walk. This is the first time there has
been an opportunity offered to do MIR
Atkinson the honor he richly deserves
and there is no reason why there should
not be a splendid turnout.
The particular attention OF the clubs
is called to the fact that Colonel Travis
desires to move promptly at7:30 o'clock,
aud they are urged tube in line by that
tune. The Fourth ward Republicans
have promised to be out in force, and
there should be d rivalry among all
tho clubs as to which can turn out the
most men. That banner Republican
ward, the Seventh, ought to do espec'
tally well by that other banner ward
the Eighth, and send down every able
bodied man. The South Side clubs can
DO relied on to do their duty; they arc
always on hand.
The Register has made the charge that
the Republican committees are loaded
down with money. This Is very funny,
when the fact Is known that none Of the
committees are in condition to provide
a band for to'night's parade, and in this
connection suggestion is kindly made
to Colonel Travis and the line officers Of
theregiment: Would it not be a good idea
to consolidate all the clubs drum corps
into one big drum corps, There would
be forty or fifty men in 1t and divided
into sections they could spell each other
and not tire themselves out. 1t would
be easy enough for all the drummers to
drum plain, quick time without any
aub.dubs or tlourishes, and they could
make noise enough to be plainly heard
by the company on the extreme left,
BY doing this much confusion and differ.
ence Of time would be avoided.
