a CLAEEspuEG, W. VA, Oct. l0.-The
first maas meeting held in this city dur.
ing the campaign took place in the Court
House last night, Sheriff Holmes presid-
ling. Captain B. d. Dovener was the
speaker OF the evening. The room WINS
crowded and the Captain was listened to
..with the closest attention. Mr.. Dovener
opeued bis speech by apologising to tho
audience for being rather worn out and
in poor voice, saying that he had strained
himself somewhat by overwork lately.
lie said IInbbard's friends had began to
think from the Democratic reports that
he had been SO torn up and worn out by
his campaign in the interior that he
would never bo able to reach home
again, but he was able to show up all
right Friday night in Wheeling, and Il
John O., thought he was worn or tired
he lnaiiG a great mistake. lie said that
ItHulttDN NHb
antics and filthy stories for facts
especially his stories, copy OF one OF
: Which had been handed him and which
he considered too filthy to repeat before
m audience Of ladies' and gentlemen.
IIc referred To the poster gotten out
by the Democratic committee announc.
ing Pendleton's appearance here on
Monday, and which says: "IIe had
challenged Mr.. Hubbard to meet him in
i3iat debate at two p. M" etc, and
naid Pendleton only issued this challenge
when he knew Hubbard would be miles
away at the time, and hs (Dovener)
only wished that his engagement ut
Weston could be cancelled so he could
take Ilubbard's place here and measure
swords with Pendleton. Applause.
Mr.. DOyener here entered into an ex.
Inactive explanation Of the Mckinley
bill, and showed by many illustrations
the iaisity OF nil the claims made by
Democratic demagogues that it YVES n
tax, and showed that it only became
tax when it was levied on some article
not produced in this country. He ap-
Dealed to the common sense OF any DEM
ocrat in bis audience to say il this were
not true, and said:
III you will name one article manu-.
factured and produced in America OF
which the duty levied for the purpose
OF protecting Americans has increased
the price to the consumer l will agree to
vote for John o. Pendleton.
Every move we have made has been to
take the tarilI oil OF the necessaries that
were not produced in this country and
increasing it for the support Of the Gov.
ernment on things that were produced
here. II q man chooses to wear import.
ed clothing in preference 10 American
goods he deserves 10 pay tax on it Tor
lis folly. lie said that Pendletons con.
tinual repetition OF his false doctrines
was getting him in the position OF the
steamer in storm Of which poet wrote:
"shc heavcd and set and set and hcaycd,
And I'M her kect ktlc flung;
And cycly time she heaved md set
\ greater leak she sprung"
And Pendleton would find that every
time he tries his arguments in such
way. that he is springing greater leak
on his vote, and one he will never be
able 10 stop.
Referring 10 the Lodge bill, he said:
at ia not q force bill it is simply bill
for honest elections, and General Golf
would be to-day your Governor ii such
81 law had been in existence in the last
election-aud no "Twe"- Wilson could
ever have given Pendleton his certificate
as Congressman. 1t is q law that gives
every American the right TO cast his
vote fairly and haveit honestly counted,
and when Il man is elected to Congress
it guarantees the right Of Tom Reed zap.
pIause, to enter him OIL the books as
such, without having to depend on the
certificate OF "Windy" Wilson. II
dissatisfaction should arise the appeal is
to the Circuit Court, and do you think
Judge Jackson OF your circuit, would
fail to see Justice done7 1t is not
sectional but national: it applies 10 the
North as well as the South.
The Democrats object again because
the penalties are severe. So they ere,
hut no honest nan need fear the penalty
for any crime.
In cloaing Captain Dovener said:
"W. T. Hubbard will be your next Con.
reessman, but Harrison should rise and
ioiu her sister counties OF the north,
where there is unbounded enthusiasm
aud cheerfuIness. Do everything that
ia fair and honest, but commit no fraud
or in any way initiate our enemies.
Look to yonrlpGislative ticket. See that
YOU elect that ticket--so as to assist in
nauiing the next Senator. Do not be
Satisfied with Il small majority. Work
10 increase it, and on the night OF the
.tth of November you will have the sat
isiaction -oi feeling that you have done
your whole duty and your country q
great service.
Mr.. Doyener then thanked the audi
ence for their presence and attention
The chair announced that MIR. Hubbard
would apeak at the same place on the
evening OF the e5th. There was large
number OF ladies' in the audience.
