publiGans in neighborly compliment to |
Mr.. UearRe.
MIR. Loos made very graceful intro.
ductory speech, and introduced Mr.. |
Hearne, who WAS greeted with hearty
cheers, long continued,
Mr.. Hearne made, in the estimation Of
all present, the best speech he has ever
made. Ills points were all clear, and his
remarks were literally punctuated with
applause. lie expressed his apprecia.
tion OF the great compliment paid him,
and said even If defeated he would find
in this demonstration consolation
more gratifying than victory would be.
lie discussed the national issues ably.
and IN conclusion said that If elected he
would advocate law establishing 20.
lice Board for Wheeling, 80 that when
an officer became efficient he would not

ment os the State. Both OF these an
nouncements Of his policy were loudly
applauded.
Capt. DoVener was next warmly in.
troduced by Mt. Loos, who gave him the
highest kind OF n compliment. He was
received with hearty applause and en-
thuslasm. He advocated protection, ex.
planned the election bill and compi.
mented Tom Reed. He also paid his re.
spects to Col. Bob White in wav which
provoked alternate laughter and ap.
plause.
Hon: W. P. Hubbard was then called
for vociferously by the crowd, and Nr.
Loos introduced him as the next Con.
gressman. which provoked wild ap-
plause. Mr.. Hubbard spoke but briefly,
as it was getting late, but every sentence
was forcible argument, and every
period contained good point. He re-
called with telling effect, in connection
with Colonel Whites objection to the
Federal election bill, the appointment
Of Deputy United States Marshals at the
election two years ago. This point
caught the crowd, as in fact did all the
good points with which the speech bris.
tied. The career Of D. NJ. Harr in the
Legislature, and his subsequent appoint.
ment by one A. B. Fleming as State
Mine Inspector, were also used with
good effect.
DR.. Clinton then spoke in response to
hearty calls, and made an excellent
speech, which was received with almost
constant laughter and applause.
Hon. N. E. Whitaker was then called.
and responded with the best speech he
has yet made. It is noticed that as the
campaign warns up Mr.. Whitaker gains
more and more facility as an orator.
The fret thing he knows, he will be !
stump speaker.
The meeting concluded with three
cheers for Hearne, three cheers for IIub. |
bard, three cheers for the other candi. |
dates, three cheers for the Hubbard In.
yincibles, and for everybody and every.
thing else that anybody thought to pro.
pose. 4
