That Dimicrat Meetin at Turkey

That Dmicrat meetin at Turkey. Well now
| should smile If it wasn't a big powwow;
The Dimicrats gathered from all around
From Dysart's hills, and the Catswamp
ground,
And from Egg hill barrens to Delaware line
To hear the big whistle on TIE little engine,
And the band was there with the big bass
drum,
And every lick said, "Come, boys. come"
And the "boSSes" were there in gang
from Elk
As pleasant as pie and as sweet as milk.
They came the old party's strangth to note
Aud to counsel the people call solid to vote"
But log once split is bard to cement,
And the party won't solidify worth a cent.
The speakers were Jeems, Aust and great
St. John,
Charles, Rubey the tireless, and Washing
ton;
And that famous hero they call T. j.,
Who can make an Grafton with nothing TO
say;
They selected for chairman man named
HOsear,
Who is famed i'll the land as an auctioneer,
To trot out the speakers and keep the course
clear,
Which he did to perfection, or very near.
Then the orators spoke, and the band did
play,
And the racket resounded for miles away.
,Jeems went into facts and figures strong,
While the veteran journalist counseled long
And the Saint had of prophecy a wonderful
knack,
He always looks forward and never looks
back,
He never named license nor mentioned rum
But pointed to victories yet to come,
They all praised the party, and praised one
another,
And fl altered the people, but some how or
other
In spite of their tongues so oily and smooth
The people would not very wildly enthuse,
Though at last some fellow about the
stand,
Did move for three cheers for the Cherry
Hill Band,
Which We're given, and then all cheering
stopped
Aud the Saint looked as cheerless, as if he
was cropped,
And, seemed to think it was very queer,
That the party and orators got no cheer;
But many had come to see what WAS done,
Some for the music, and some for the fun,
And many were solid Republicans
And a lot who did not at all like the plans
OF the bosses, and more were not on the
swing
To do all that was wanted by the Whiske y
Ring,
For they are determined 10 pick their men
And don't mean to be betrayed again.
They are true to their colors, and by them
will stand,
For God, for home and for native land;
And We prophets who sport in political tide,
You'd better not far from the shore hi de,
Though the breIkers run backward still
you should know,
There's mighty great risk in the under
tow GoREM.

Meeting at Elkton

The third party Prohibitionists opened
their campaign in the county, by pub
| lie meeting at o Id Fellows Hall i'll this
| town on Thursday evening. The services
| of the Elkton cornet band, hal been
| secured, which at an early hour i'll
the evening made a circuit of the town,
mounted on an illuminated band wagon
drawn by four horses.
The decorations of the platform OF the
| Hall showed the presence OF woman's
delft fingers. Tue national colors, stands
of cut flowers, festoons OF bunting graced
either side of it, while a beautiful bank
of cut dahlias occupied its center, the
notices Protection to the Home =
Third in numbers, first in moral princl-
pie" and Legislation makes no wrong
right occupying conspicuous places.
At eight o'clock the audience of ladies'
and gentlemen which filled the hall
was called to order by the Rev. Charles
Hill, Mr.. Henry Finsinger being selected
to preside.
After prayer by Mr.. Hill, the chair
maa introduced the Rev. DR.. VIM. IL
Boole, of New York, as the orator of the
evening. The eloquent Doctor met his
audience with the easy manner that irS
dicates the practical speaker, and at the
outset put himself upon an intimate foot
ing with his audience. He forcibly as
serted the individual pgerogAtive of the
right to choose ones party, and after IA
hurried glance at the issues between the
Republican and Democratic parties,
which he asserted were in moral import
ance incomparably below those presented
by the third party Prohibitiopists, he
arraigned the licensed liquor traffic, in
language as eloquent as 1t was true. We
lack the space to notice his speech at
length, suffice it to say, that the Doctor
is a powerful champion of temperance
and prohibition, his peroratiol on
Thursday night, tor boldness of meta
phor and originality of illustration being
one OF the finest displays of oratory we
have ever heard DR.. Boole left Elktou
to address meeting at Cecilton last
evening.
