SECRETARIES.
Eli D. Robinson, of the Eagle; and
w. c. Negley, of the CITIZEN.
Hon, J. D. McJunkin's remarks upon
assuming the chair were as follows
FELLOW CITIZENS:-I thank you
heartily for this marx of distinction you
have so disinterestedly bestowed upon
me il selecting me to preside over this
meeting.
As Chairman it will not be expected
that | should make extended remarks
We have assembled to hear others-dls-
tinguished gentlemen who will fully
discuss the true issues of the campaign
| might, however, say briefly that we
are on the eve of a most important cleo
ton. AS nation we have been making
history and heroes at lightning speed
during the past year.
Our great President, VIM. Mckinley,
gave us the kew note to the action OF
citizens the other day in Chicago when
he said, we must stand together until
we have settled all our troubles with
foreigners. and especially with Spain,
and then afterwards adjust our disputes
among ourselves" Yes, we must stand
by our country, we must stand by odr
administration at Washington. The
administration being Republican 1t Is
surely the duty of Republicans to stand
by it, and how can they do except by
voting the Republican ticket. We must
not let our peasonal disappointments, or
the defeat of the ambition of our person
al friends keep us from performing our
duty to our party, its principles and lts
candidates.
AS MANY of YOU know | was IN favor
of the nomination of Hon. {. w. Stone
for Governor; but the Republican par
ty, in its convention, duly constituted,
saw fit to nominate a man, 1T is true, by
the same name, except by the initials,
and as you will presently see In much
greater quantities. As the smaller
Stone is now cordially supporting the
larger one, his followers can safely DO
likewise. Hon. c. W. Stone served Tor
many wears in Congress with mis- rlval,
knows him well and will cheerfully vote
for him.
And now let me say in conclusion
beware of ante-election rumors-ante-
election roorbacks-ante-ele and
cowardly arrests-eleventh hour reports
and rumors of any kind. Do not vote
against one man because another man
has been charged with some offense
which he has had no chance to defend
against prior to the election.
And now have the pleasure of intro
ducing to you the next Governor OF
Pennsylvania, whose home is in Pitts
burg, our neighboring city. but whose
fame is of the whole state and country,
Hon. w. A. Stone.
WE learn that certain Mr.. Vaughn,
who was free silver orator" in the
last campaign, is making still hunt
canvas of the county in the interest OF
the Democratic candidate for Congress,
Mr.. Lockwood While we have moth
ing to say personally against Mr. Lock
wood, he belongs to the Democratic par
ty-is one of it's Chief Priests in this
county, and from the experience with
the Democratic party and policy in re-
cent years. people should think twice
before they vote for the Democratic
candidate on the say so of this free
silver Mr.. Vaughn.
There may be others canvasslng in
the interest of the Demo cratic candi-
date, let Republicans lookout for them
and beware. Our candidate, Hon. j.
B, Showalter, on all National, State
and other issues will be right, and in
line with President McKinley's admin
istration. So the thing for all Republi-
cans to do is to vote for J. b. Showal-
ter
