EDINBURa NOTES.

Miss Lucy V. Allison, Of Hagerstown,
Nd, is here on visit to her father and
friends, all OF whom are pleased to meet
her. Lucie reports Nc, her uncle, with
whom she resides, as full of practice, II
being quite sickly in that community
now.
II was a fact quite noticeable that on
last Saturday, the only visitor at our
Democr attic meeting was the late APP
pointee, p. NJ. of Woodstock, who late in
the evening received the Col. from the
hospitality of our 7. NJ. and drove him to
Toms Brook, there we suppose, to turn
him oyer to the Z. NJ. Of that place.
The Republicans Of this precinct met at
the Hisey Hall, on last Thursday night,
for the purpose Of organizing Harrison
Morton and Protection club. Quite a
number of our farmers and farm lahorers
were present, and took an active part IN
the meeting, thus showing an enthusiastic
spirit heretofore not conspicuous The
meeting organized by electing DR.. A. +.
Below, Chairman, and G. W. Dinges,
Secretary, with seven of our most sub
stantial farmers Nice-Presidents, after
which the room was canyassed and and a
membership Of "a voters enrolled. good
showing for the first meeting. BY
unanimous vote, the club will meet every
Saturday night until the election, at which
time all opposed to the oppression Of free
trade are invited to attend and participate
with the Edinburg Republican club. We
expect some one Of ability to address our
next meeting.
A great demonstration was displayed on
the depot ground at this place, on last
Saturday afternoon, by O'Ferrall and "the
best people" who met to wing to the
breeze the great red ban danna, upon
pole about 60 feet long Well she swings,
with the names, Cleveland, Thurman and
O'Ferrall. The pole was raised quite sue
cessfully nnder the managent Of Jerry
DOnavan, but Jerry says he 10 the only
true Democrat here, as he was compelled
TO 90 TO the woods, cut and load the pole,
and after il was brought here, dig the
hole, all alone. Win. Liggett was the
first speaker. of which we heard but little,
in fact we hear il said, "little' is all 1t
was. We next had the threadbare de-
livery of the Colonel's, rshash showing
TO his hearers, of less than 40 OFerrall
voters by actual count, the great things
ACCOMPLISHED under Democratic rule, from
the II revolutionary war on through the
Mex lean war by which we gained "the
vast territory from the Rio Grande to the
great Pacific coast" &c. Here however,
he stopped, neglecting to tell them whether
or not Democratic rule was also RESPONSE
BILE for our own unjust war. President
Buchanan, tits we'll known, could have
nipped this move in the bud but this was
a move of hot-headed aristocratic Dcmoc-
racy. and Democratic rule must let it ruin
the country. But we didn't intend en-
larging with our own views, only to give
that of the Coils. One other we will give
and stop. 81 have challenged Gen
saltpeter Roller to meet and publicly dis
