The Reply Republican Speaker at Center.
Vile Brought ON Himself by an Ineis.
Greet Allusion to One of His Listeners.
Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday after.
noon the Alice band appeared in front oi
Republican headquarters on Main street
and attracted attention to the fact that
something was going to happen. It was
pretty cool standing on the sidewalk, but a
line OF men fringed either side OF Main
street, exhibiting q languid curiosity in the
outcome. The latter consisted Of three
gentlemen who emerged from the stairway
leading to headquarters, and entering a
hack were driven to the boarding house
where MIR. Carter is stopping.
When they returned with the cand idate
in the carriage with them, the band took
up the line Of march, and accompanied by
Legs Mahoney the procession headed for
Centerville. where Mr.. Carter addressed an
open air meeting held in front OF Mullen's
boarding house.
He was succeeded among others by
George Haldorn. The auditors stood
which had q depressing effect upon their
enthusiasm. Among others present was
w. ]. Penroee who, with more discretion
than the rest, sat in the doorway OF a
cabin within sight and hearing OF the
speakers, sheltered to some extent from
the frigidity prevailing around thespeakers'
stand.
While Mr.. Haldorn was speaking he took
occasion to remark that he saw man
present-he would not mention him by
name but pointed over his shoulder with
his thumb directly at w. J. Penrose-who
was there in the interest OF w. A. Clark and
had got that gentlemen's barrel to buy the
men he was addressing.
The inference was too unmistakable to
be ignored and Penrose was on his feet in
an instant interrupting the speaker with
the words:
"Mr. Haldorn, il you mean me you
lie."
Without noticing the remark Mr.. Hal
dorm continued, saying that man had been
hired by Democratic Doodle to 60 to Gem
terville and attempt to organize the Cor
nishmen, but he miserably failed in the
attempt.
Penrose again interrupted the speaker:
"This has gone far enough, Mr.. Haldorn, .
he said. II came here to listen respect.
fully to the Republican speakers. and
a, ither expected nor deserve to be singled
out as the subject Of malicious falsehoods.

was here, and took this epportn-
nifty OF hearing him. l have

terms whenever have alluded to him in

not seen any Democratic money nor have

but as was personally assaulted con

can now 20 on and I promise not to inter

give me ten minutes to reply at the close o.
The meeting"
He then sat down, but his offer was not
accepted, neither did Mr.. aaldorn MAKE
any more illusions to Mr.. Penrose.
Mr.. Carter, at the conclusion OF the meet
ing, went up to Walkerville where ne wai
