LAST NIGHTS MEETING

If the majority Of the Republicans of
town could have crowded into the Office
of S. G. M. Hollopeter, Esq, in the Rob
bins building last night, and heard the
address that Hon. M. p Fowler made to
the meeting held there to make arrange
ments for the Republican demonstration
to be held here on Wednesday evening,
they would have been worked up to an en-
thusiasm which is born of that earnest
ness that always assures victory.
Mr.. B. J. Yost addressed the meeting
on the necessity of having funds to con-
duct the campaign and these could only
be secured through the liberality of men
who took an honest interest in the cam
paign. And incidentally Mr.. Yost re-
marked that there had been considerable
talk about people who handled funds for
campaigns in years gone by; they had
been subjected to unwarranted suspicion,
as any one who would give the subject
serious consideration could very soon find
out that the county committee, or
the state committee, does not shovel
dollars into the town by the thous
ands for use by men who manage
the campaign; on the contrary, Mr.. Yost
said, he had never known of more than
seventy five dollars having been placed in
the hands of the local Republican execu-
tive committee, and that amount was
set aside for distribution among the men
employed for work about the polls in
this town and the Unions, and by the
time the distributions were made it was
pretty hard to find margin; in fact, the
men who handled the money had been
frequently obliged to go down into their
own pockets.
Mr.. Fowler then jumped to his feet and
in the strongest terms at his command
appealed to those within hearing to pull
off their coats and get to work in behalf
of the whole Republican party, and espec-
tally for Hon. Charles N. Brumm, the Re
publican candidate for Congress. 1t is
highly essential that Mr.. Brumm should
win in this fight, Mr.. Fowler said, as the
people who live in the coal regions cannot
afford to return or elect to Congress men
who so far forget the interests of their
constituents as to put coal produced in
Nova Scotia on the free list.
After concluding his remarks Mr.
Fowler stepped forward to the secretary's
desk and planked down five dollars to
start subscription list to meet cam
paign expenses, and then volunteered to
act as a committee of one to secure music
for the parade on Wednesday evening.
Mr.. 7. r. Edwards added five more dol
lars to the list and then others stepped
forward. Messrs. H. E. Dengler, Ed
ward Roberts, B. j. Yost and William I.
Trezise were then appointed committee
to canvass the town, which they did i'm
mediately after the meeting adjourned,
and this morning the committee reported
that the responses were of most satis-
factory character.
All arrangements are now concluded for
| he.demonstration tomorrow night. The
street display is not counted upon as a
| feature, but the meeting in the opera
! housolwill be a sumner. For some weeks
past there has been a growing demand
from both Democratic and Republican
ranks for Hon. Charles N. Brumm. There
is an undisguised impatience. People of
all classes are anxious to hear his views
on the bill passed by the Democratic
Congress, especially in connection with
it's bearing upon free coal, and the demand
will be met, as Mr.. Brumm will be a
speaker at the meeting tomorrow night,
and those who want to hear what bearing
the nefarious bill has upon the coal inter
ests of this country should not fail to
hear him.
Hon. John B. Robinson, one of the most
able and active Republicans of the state
a man who has warm friends all over
the state and especially in Shenandoah,
will also address the meeting and none
should fail to hear him discuss and ex-
plain the issues of the day. Messrs
Brumm and Robinson will make the
meeting a memorable one.
