Well politics seem to be the main
topic of the day, and the Populists, are
making a great howl They boast
OF carrying the Township for Com
missioner. But they will find, when
the vote is counted, that they have
been badly deceived. They will find
that democrats Of Good Hope Town
ship don't take much stock in back
sliders or turncoats Tor Office.
Sammy, whose Surname is Bright is
busy circulating letters to what he
used to call American copperheads
and Hyenas in his ratification speeches,
asking them for their support. But we
! woultsay that we cant support you
at present as we have man on the
democratic ticket of whom we all feel
proud, of man who has boen tried
aud has given general satisfaction, :,
and has won the full confidence Of all
good citizens of the District. That
man is Joseph G. Huffman. He is
entitled to a full vote and will get the
same. Cur candidates are all good
men from Judge down to Coroner, and
if elected will be credit to the Coun-
ty.
The Popuists had blow off on last
Saturday night. 1t was the greatest
fiizzle Rockbridge ever had. They
had bills posted up for over week all
over the Township, announcing that
VIM. Il. Crawford OF Perry Co. their
candidate for Congress, would make a
speech. Well he was on hand in
good time at the Station where he was
met by the Populist band, consisting
Of Wesiey fuckers bass drum and fife.
The procession consisted of Tucker
and about ten Or twelve little boys
from Milville who escorted the speak
ers from the train to fuckers old mill
But l think that Wesley thought that
it was a small grist for him to grind.
When Crawford, Jackson and VIM.
Friesncr entered the old mill they
were badly disappointed. They be-
gan to lool, around on the big crowd,
consisting of about ten little boys, The
same amount Of little girls and twelve
voters, six of them were Populists and
, the balance were Democrats and
Republicans, thai had come 10 see
the show. The meeting was called to
order, and Peter Hanstein made chair
man, then the performance commen-
ced. Peter introduced the speaker
who arose and said by the request OF
the ladies he would sing them q song
entitled "Coxey Keep OIL The Grass"
After he got through with ms song, he
piched into the two old parties, biam-
ed them equally for being responsible
for hard times, and low prices for
wheat and wool, then closed by saying
that he had forgotten that the meeting
was for Col, Jackson and not for him
self. Peter again rose and next in
troduced Col. jackson as the next
| Commissioner Of Hooking Co. 0n
their mind.) He gave in his exper-
ience of political life. Said that he
had been life long republican, had
trained all his sons in-law to be good
Republicans. Well we have no fault
! to find for all thai, but we don't in
tend to let man that will flop over
from one party to another for the sake
of an Office gobble up our votes in
Goodhope. The Republicans are en-
gagged in their same old tricks trying to
make Democrats believe that they are
going to vote the Populist ticket, and
then when they vote they will vote
the straight Republican ticket.
