LOCAL POLITICS.
What is Going on in the Political Field in
Carroll.


Grove, near Uniontown, on Saturday last,
which was largely attended, notwithstanding
the busy season among the farmers, who were
engaged in cutting off corn and seeding
wheat. The meeting was called to order
about 2 o. clock, p. m, by Evan Haines, Esq,
in the absence of Mr.. David A. c. Webster,
President of the Club. The Uniontown Band
rendered several inspiring airs, when Mr..
Haines introduced to the audience Hon.
Conway Sans, of Baltimore city, who ad
dressed the meeting in a very affective
speech for about thirty minutes. The next
speaker was B. F. Grouse, Esq, of West
minister, who entertained his hearers for
about three quarters of an hour, in an earnest,
lucid and logical discussion of the leading
issues of the campaign. Mr.. Grouse is u
fluent speaker, and always holds the atten-
ton of his auditors. When he concluded the
band struck up several lively airs, which
seemed to meet a response from the entire
audience. Mr.. Haines then presented to the
audience, Hon. j. f. c. Talbot Those in
the outer circles began to draw nearer to the
stand, evincing desire to take better posi-
ton in order to hear the candidate for Con
gress. Mr.. Talbotts manner was easy, de-
liberate and selfpossessed, holding the atten-
ton of his auditors throughout. He discuss
ed for about an hour the two most prominent
issues of the campaign, the tariff and the
force bill, in clear and effective manner, to
the satisfaction of his hearers, as was apparent
by their countenances. MIR. kilgore, who
had been announced upon the bills as one OF
the speakers, was not present, and, as the
shadows of evening were beginning to
lengthen, the meeting adjourned.
The hospitality of the good people OF
Uniontown and vicinity was as conspicuous
on this occasion as upon all other occasions
where they have the opportunity to show 1t.
A number of prominent and aged citizens
were invited to seats upon the stand, among
them were Jacob Sharretts, of Middleburg
district, 10; Levi Caylor, Uniontown; Hugh
Ham, SO; David Stoner, Louis Dielman, of
New Windsor, and others.
A number of prominent Republicans, also,
were present. Among them we noticed Job
Hibberd, N H. Bale, S. S. Shepherd, VIM.
Myerly and NJ. G. Shaw, DR.. }. j. Weaver,
ST., and DIR. J. j. Weaver, Jr., and Rev. D.
W. Charlton and Rev. G. w. Seilhamer.
