The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1896-02-27

ing the shock of the cannon shot and
the humble of the Glee Club. He
would perhaps kept up his howl yet,
but Tony Barleon stood up before
him, and the apparation struck him
dumb, his beauty and his eloquence
abashed in the presence of this die
tinguished Gander Greek sea god.
Bronte Jewett spoke pleasantly of
the ladies and maintained his reputa-
ton in this regard, making the hap
riest speech of the evening.
Mr.. Eicllers closed the exercises
with a discussion on the old RepuDli
can guard of Hooking, mentioning
4 number Of the heroic men of the
last generation who stood up for
their party when only principle was
at issue, and 10 offices for a scram-
bic. He counseled harmony in the
party and like all the rest Of the
speakers pleaded true allegiance to
Mckinley.
Henry Woodworth as toast-mas-
ter, was rarity, indeed. He seem
ed TO have prepared kind of light
opera, and speeches were incidents,
kind of breathing spells, while he
was reciting his piece. He made a
speech on every toast named and then
presented the speaker as aa illust-a-
ton of the subject lie himself was
discussing. He evidently had Nc
Kay to help him, because once he got
of some most remarkable poetry, a
kind of acrostic which has no sense
on first healing but must be critical
ly examined and carefully studied.
He did his part, assuming that ne
did it all, in mastery style, and
when he forgot part, had his libretto
and lorgenette ready at hand.
Cap. Friesner's orchestra furnished
agreeable music while supper was
served, and the Bushnell Gice Club,
composed of F. M. Mckay, Bruce
Dollison, A. K. Hu!s, Dill. Sander
son contributed a very pretty song.
1t is not for us to find fault with the
banquet. 1t was not our affair. We
paid our good money and got the
worth of it, but in the line of news
paper duty, we cannot with hold a
calm and gentle criticism at some Of
the short comings.
The political element that made it
possible the banquet could occur, the
Sand Run Hottentot and Hungarian
were not present and participating.
This is an indignity that we think Col
Sands will not allow repeated; not if
he intends keeping Chief Baird
peaceful in his kraal.
Again, Buster Bowlby was net
given a part in the song. His mas
ter piece performance, ":Bug under
the chip" when rendered on all fours
in humble peg posture, and with
shuttle and growl and paving around
which the pursuit of the Bug" in
song seems to require, would have
been a great treat to the governor,
better than anything his New En-
gland ancestors witnessed in the zoo
of Bushnell park, Hartford or New
Haven.
And still the most grevlous omiss-
ion, Tony Barleon, the uhterrlfed
navigator, the Admiral of the Gar
der Creek squadron, proud owner OF
the ''good ship Rachel came on
foot from his landing at the head
waters spring, at the base Of the Tn
ion Furnace divide. to make speech
in behalf of an appropriation for the
marine service, and volunteer for the
next war on water. He was pano
piled in full Admiral reGalia and
would have been the cvnosure of all
the ladies, and an eyesore to most of
the men. 1t may be the governor
cou d not stand it to have his honors
divided by this old sea god and his
genial handsome face and his cx-
panse of spotless shirt front put i'll
contrast with the Admiral and editor
from Macarthur.
But the affair was pleasant social
event, and we hope may be duplicat-
ed in democratic kind when, after the
next election, Hooking county will be
redeemed, and President with gov
ernors OF great states on his staff,
will hold carnival in Logan, and our
republican friends, what few may be
left of them, will be given tender care,
and gentle treatment, agood supper
and the trund!e bed.
