| ing OF Col. Poorman in the Opera House
| Wednesday night. which WAS intended ior
| a grand rally and the opening OF the cetn-
pairn forthe Republicans In Eastern Onio,
| was the most dismal failure that was ever
known In this city At no time during thS
| evening was there more than four hunoreu
/ persons in the hail. and no one occupied Tue
paraouette seats atall until the band, WHICH
had discoursed sweet music at the uool
and on the street in an endeavor 10 eatne5
in the faithful, put in an appearances anu
was directed by Gov Richards 10 take tne
front seats. Even doc" Johnson, WHOSE
versatility in making Republican meetings.
appear at least twice as big as they really
are, had to admit, in his account In the star;
that the meeting was failure, but claimed
it was because it was impossible to arouse
political enthusiasm this fall. Inc real
truth about the matter is that the road Col.
Poorman is travelling in an endeavor 10 get
into Congress is just as hard now as II mas
been for years.
At its meeting Tuesday evening Council
adopted an ordinance closing saloons De-
tween the hours of midnight and O'CLOCK
a. IN. The ordinance first proposed 10 close
all such places until 6 o'clock a. M, but the
members of Council thought the Saloon
keepers would be deprived OF good many
nickles and dimes that they could MAKE IN
the early hours from the thirsty and there,
fore changed the six to i've. AS reward
a saloonkeeper had coach, lighted by
electric light and drawn by four Wnlte
horses waiting and when an adjournment
took place he drove several members nome
in great style. The turnout, with us LOAD
of city dads, attracted good deal OF at
tention as it passed up Fourth street. Inc
light was applied by battery under the
seat of the coach and was the idea OF a
Stubenville boy, who thinks OF getting II
patented.
