was Il republican mass meeting
called for the purpose Of endors-
ing tho man Of their choice. The
meeting was called to order by G..
II. Miller tho present chairman of

did not know tho real object of tho
meeting. There were several talks
made from these present, finally
II. b. Hendricks got tho floor and
stated that no was an applicant for
the position of postmaster at this
place and that his underestimate &
was that the meeting was called
for tho purpose of taking action
on this question and that he
thought that the entire body SO
understood it. Quito Il number
said they did. He stated then
that he was a republican of long
standing, having attended his first
republican convention at Abbe-
Vile, s. G. which nominated S. l..
lIogo for congress from this dis
trict and that ho was elected and
and he had attended almost every
convention since that time, and
| that he had contributed more of
his means for the party than any
other man i'm tho county together
twice over, and thnt hc had taken
moro abuse than any other man in
the country, but he felt proud Of
ono thing that the m"an"st thing
they could say about him was that
hr was 4 republican. while he was
sorry to say that they had said
much moro about him, but that it
was untrue and they knew it, but
they would do and saI these things
SO that there was no ch%nco to get |
at them. And desired to state
that one of these mon that had
been one the Ioudost mouthed in
his abuse of HIM was now an ap-
plicant for tho postoflico here and
that he had always been promi-
nnnt in republican councils, and
that he had never heard anything
pf \. NJ. Morris being Il republican
until Just before the election Of
Mr.. Mckinley, when the pio coun-
ter came in Wow and that no was
being pushed forward for this
place by como of our present loders,
in order to humiliato him politi-
cally. But that he was as conf
don't rs no over had been that the
entire masses would give those
mon the rebuke they Justly desorv,
od when tho proper time come,
That one I. n. Jor'lins was also
an applicant, almost all Of Tho
crewd, says who is jenkins! W.
