The Night Meeting was one of Glorious
suCcess--Great Enthusiasm.
The Hanna Danford-Keator meeting
at the Martins Ferry opera house last
night was one OF the most wonderful
meetings ever held in Belmont county.
1t was certainly the most enthusiastic.
The Martins Ferry opera house never
contained such large audience and
probably as many people were unable to
get In.
The opera house was filled entirely
with adults, the doorkeepers refusing ad-
mittance to boys and the audience was a
most orderly one for such demonstra-
tive gathering
The cheering and applause was deaf
ening. nearly everybody taking part,
even the ladies Joining. a very large
number OF people occupied seats on the
stage Meister's brass band played live
ly airs aud Samuel Westwoud acted as
chairman aud introduced Hon Lorenzo
Danford, who made a strong plea for the
party In his able manner, speaking for
fifteen minutes and was well received
He said he rejoiced IN the fact that he
ances that the promises OF 1896 have been
fulfilled When the party met at st.
Louis there was general gloom all over
the country. That convention declared
in favor OF protection and sound money.
The Democrats declared for free silver
and practically the Wilson-Gormnn
tariff. We took chances at making pre-
dictions and nearly all have come true.
in 1896 one-half OF the people In this
vicinity were idle and in want and to-
day nearly every industry in running to
its full capacity The farmer was hard
pressed and now he s strong In his be-
lief that prosperity has come. He finds
q market for his butter and eggs and
poultry
You know who our candidate for sem
ator Is Who Is the candidate for the
Democratic party? The Democrats have
not got courage to announce that John
r. Mclean Is their candidate. They
keep him behind my friend General War
ner. behind some man IN Canton or any
other old thing This election ia as Inn
portant az the one In 1896. II Bryan had
been elected together with the Demo-
cratic Congress II would have been that
other Issue and not protection. The
matter OF wages must be settled between
the emplOye and employer The man
who stands about the street corner and
tells you the Republican party has not
kept its promise Is a demagogue. You
might elect Mr.. Campbell TO the legisla-
ture and ha could do nothing 10 fix the
matter of wages. ! predict good old
fashioned Republican majority In Bel
mort county and the election OF both can-
ddates for the Legislature and the cleo
ton OF tho entire county ticket.
Captain Danford closed amid hearty
cheering.
