ELECTION TUESDAY, NOV. 5th.
GIBSON AT BRIDGEPORT.

Gen. "Bill" Gibson addressed large
and attentive audience of enthusiastic
Republicans at Bridgeport, on last Thurs
day evening. Delegations were present
from Bellaire, Martins Ferry, and this
place, and many came over from Wheel
ing, drawn by the fame of and a desire
to hear the "old man eloquent" The
General spoke from the front of the Sher-
man House to an audience gathered in
Bank Street. and filling all the surround
ing sidewalks. The crowd was estimated
at 1900. and stood in the cold evening
air and mud during his entire speech.
The meeting was called to order by
Burget McConnaughey, Esq, who named
Hon. J. W. Nichols for Chairman. Mr..
Nichols, in few well-chosen remarks,
paid high compliment to the present
National and State administrations, and
then introduced the speaker of the even
ing. General Gibson. The General began
by eulogizing Governor Foraker's record
both before and after he became Govern
vi. IlC VI
Hoadly and Cleveland in his own inimit
able way. He spoke on the finances of
the State, and highly complimented the
Republicans on their excellent showing.
He exhibited poster of a Democratic
meeting in Crawford county, which con-
tanned cut of camel with tremend-
Gus hump, but had the head and face of
James E. Campbell, which provoked
great amount of laughter. He spoke at
some length upon the Tariff, and closed
by calling for three cheers for Governor
Foraker and the County ticket, both of
which were heartily given.
His speech throughout abounded in
wit and humor, and was vociferously ap-
plauded.. General Gibson states that this
is his forty-fifth campaign, and that he
has addressed more people than any 9th
er man in Ohio. The Republicans of
Pease are aroused, and will make good
showing next Tuesday.

ELECTION TUESDAY, NOV. 5th.

REV. L. TDIBERLAKE, the Prohibition
candidate for Representative, addressed
meeting of that party in the Court
House Hall, on last Friday evening. The
audience was quite small, the voters
present being limited to sixteen, of whom
three or four were Prohibitionists. The
speaker began by taking text from the
Bible and then stopped to abusing the
two old parties, and especially the Repub-
lican party. He attempted to tell how
the Prohlbitionists could elect Presi-
dent, but got befuddled on his point and
left it. He referred to the tariff ques-
ton as only local question, and said
that it never was or never would be
national question, and got of much 9th
er such nonsense. The Reverend gen
tleman would certainly have been more
in place in the pulpit pointing sinners to
the Cross, than tramping around making
political speeches and detracting from
the quiet and gentle demeanor which
should characterize a man pursuing
that high and noble calling. When min
listers of the Gospel leave their pulpits to
engage in the strife and feeling incl
dent to political campaign, their field
for doing good is greatly diminished. If
they pretend to be ministers of the Cos
pei, let them attend to that calling, and
not unnecessarily enter into anything
which will excite the prejudices of men
who are just as good as they are, but
hold different views politically.

THAT GATE.

The following conversation, in snb-
stance, was overheard few days ago, on
a street corner:
Smith-Say, Jones, have you seen the
new farm Gate over there, yet?
Jones No; what Gate is it?
Smith-Well, forget the name;but the
fellow that invented the Gate is here, and
has sold the right in this county to Joe
Denham, and they have started a factory
and are making gates pretty lively over
there.
Jones-Is it of any account?
Smith-WeIl, think it is; it is the best
Gate ever saw, and it is so cheap, and
not liable to get out of order.
Jones-What is the cost?
Smith-Well, heard Denham say that
he would furnish and put up one Gate
(f you will furnish the posts, common
fence posts will do), give you the irons
and latches for four more gates, and a
farm right for $500.
Jones-Do you think the thing will
last?
Smith-Yes; it cannot help but last;
the Gate is not hung on hinges, so it can
not Sag-Only takes about 80 feet of lum-
DeI W illdh6 IL, dllu las IiIo CuUcSG IdUCu
you ever saw.
Jones-Can you open it without get
ting out of the wagon?
Smith-No, but you can open it easily
on horse back, can carry two buckets of
milk or water, open the gate, and go
through and shut it, and do not need to
set down your buckets. l tell you it
beats all the gates ever saw.
Jones-Have you bought right?
Smith-Yes; l can buy right, build
four gates, all for so, and as many more
gates after that as | choose for S1.25
each, and buy every bit of lumber in
them.
Jones-Where did you say they were? +?
Smith-Why, right over there, in the
rear of the old Treasurer's office; come
over and see the Gate as it looks when it
is up.
Jones-All right, l will go, and if it is
as you say will bny one.
