The following item appeared in the
! local columns OF our Fourteenth Street
contemporary yesterday. lis author has
conGlusiyely proven his eligibility for
membership in the paresis club. Our
neighbours reportorial arts: says:
That portion of the Popocratic campaign
/ equipment known as the paid curb-stone
! orator. who goes from town 10 town and
| starts up an argument on the principal
streets. In which he airs high and lofty
| silver views 10 a gaping crowd. has made
( his appearance in Wheeling. and Sunday
/ and Yesterday he was conspicuous along
Market street. Like in Parkcrsburg he
! claimed 10 be a drummer, but as the
scheme had been given away through
/ the press. his talk amounted 10 very niue.
Yesterday the orator IN question
| went TO the postofiice after mall ana after
| opening an official looking letter threw
! the envelope away II was picked mp by
! q bystander and was found to bear the
! postmark of Washington, u. G., ana the
| stamp Of the national Popocratlc mead
, quarters. The name on the envelope ala
| not correspond with that registered by
| him at the Hotel Windsor either.
Now the only "curbstone orator IN
town Monday who in any way fitted this
description was gentleman who called
AZ the Register Office yesterday and ask
] 81 70 have the above falsehoOd correct
| ed. This gentleman is Mr. John \. Noe,
representing p. +. Collier, Of New York.
He came TO Wheeling from Washing
ton. Pa, on Saturday las. with friend
on a pleasure jaunt. To show more
! effectively the absolute untruthtluness
| CT the above quoted item from die local
Hanna organ, ne stated chat he did not
go TO the pcstoffice and does no, even
know where the pos,ofice is that he did
net receive a letter there, and as for
the statement in The gold5ug organ that
I he came here from Parkersburg. he
stated that he had never been in Par
/ kersburg. AS TO his connection wi b
he Democratic National Committee
which the Fourteenth Street cOckloSt ar
It's, charged. Mr. Noe declared that he
did no, know any member of that COM
mitcee, and has no connection with any
member of the committee. Furthermore
he mas no interest in the election other
than any other citizen Of the country
who mas his cOuntry's best interests at
heart.
In other words. the item quoted above
from the Tntell.gencer, is utterly devoid
of a single iOta Of fac.
The simple truth Of the matter is mat
Mr.. Noe got into he usual curbstOne dis
cussion on the financial question which
can be witnessed at any time Of the day
almost anywhere and. becoming alb
sorbed in it. turned himself loose. so
~ enaak aud gave the crowd that had
assembled the benefit Of mis- views.
In the meantime we would inform the
esteemed Intelligencer that the streets.
the country. Inc woods. the hill tops.
the valleys and The plains are full of
jus. such free coinage orators as Mr..
Noe. And they are not paid. a cent,
either. Their pay is in the good they
are doing for their country and their
fellows in supporting the money Of the
Constitution.
