Editor Bart and Oilers Speak
at Ssibsrt's Place.

! The Republican scneme 10 nolu
meeting at Sei5ert's last night, to draw
from Hon. John A. Towards meetings
at Elm Grove aud in the East End,
proved a fzzle, so far as the result was
concerned. Special Invitations had
been sent to Elm Grove Republicans,
and the Clay Union club, but the at
traction was not strong enough. There
were no East End voters present, and
only twenty-five came from Elm Grove.
Pleasant Valley contributed the re-
mainde-, and the crowd numbered
about sixty-fve persons, which was
very creditabs considering the dis.
agreeable weather, out was deep dis
appointment to the speakers.
Mr.. S. S. Bloch was chairman OF the
meeting. Mr.. Marcus Baer was not
present, and Candidate Joseph Brady
made the first speech, q two minutes
talk. Editor c. b. Hart spoke at great
or length, but did not leave quite as
good an impression as Mr.. Brtdy. He
no wled calamity and waived the bloody
shirt. He presented a narrowing pic
ture Of strong, able.bodied men, Clamor-
ing for employment, during the last
wear, and asked-"Dld you ever know
that under the Republican policy of pro-
tection?" The very period Of which he
was speaking was under the Republi-
can policy of protection" and IL was
not until that policy was removed, that
the reaction came, and there was gen
eral resumption of work.
Mr. Hart MAIDS frantic appeal to his
hearers 10 throw Triadelphia district
into the Republican column, aud told
them how 10 do IL. He told them the
country is 10 danger, andsaid their only
salvation was in voting the Republican
ticket. He then enIogized tho candi-
dates and there was faint cheering. or
Senator Whitaker he said: because
of his exceptional strength, and because
OF the exceptionally brutal fight made
against him, you should see that he is
elected"
Mr. Hart said Atkinson was elected
in IS. but Pendleton afterward broke
into Congress, and did not cast single
vote in the interest Of his constituents.
, I'VE want Republican returning board
because we want Simp pie justice aud fair
ness. II is remarkable how the Demo
Gratis, when they are clothed with lit
tie authority, will do things which it
would seem impossible that any honest
man would do. And then they excuse
themselves by saying it's politics. ,
Now zee don't do that, zoe do what we
think is right. no matter who IL hurts. "
Mr. Hart went out Oh the seven
o'clock motor and saw a cOlCred man
hurrahing for Howard. This worried
him, apparently, and be could not re-
frain from talking about it in mis-
speech. Il felt sorry for that cOlOred
man" he said. III the Democratic
party had its way, he wouldn't have
been hurrahing for Howard, he
wouldn't have been riding in a white
mans car. he wouldn't have been a man
SO | was sorry for him"
Mr.. Hart talked about three. quarters
of an hour, and was followed by Mr.. w.
=. Hubbard, who said he never knew OF
a bill 10 increase the school tax passing
through the House OF Delegates, while
Ohio county had a Republican repre-
sentative IN that body. He dropped
this subject. leeving the matter as clear
as mud in the minds Of his hearers, and
delivered a few calamity croaks, wind
ing up with the usual predictions OF
Republican victory "as sure as the
SUM-" etc.
The meeting adjourned before nine
o'clock,
