BRIDGEPORT.

The Republicans of this place and those
at Martins Ferry have been at logger
heads for the past week in regard to
where Hanna should speak to do the most
good The Martins Ferry ringleadars
wanted Mark to make his speech there
in the evening. while those here thought
Bellaire would be the most beneficial.
State Committeeman Sedgwick made a
special trip to Cleveland for the purpose
of seeing whether they could not have
the gentleman speak there instead of Bell
aire in the evening. The Republicans
here think and say this was done for moth
ing more than to aid Leroy in having his
brother appointed postmaster. Since this
was done for nothing more than personal
interest, it provoked quite a squabble,
which ended in the committee deciding to
have Hanna speak at Martins Ferry in
the early part of the evening and at Bell
aire afterwards. The gentleman in ques-
ton will speak here at the opera house
at o'clock in the afternoon. The faith
full will be out, according to all reports
in full blast to hear Mark tell about the
prosperity which is now overrunning the
country.
