HON. ROMEO
II. FREER
AT WRIGHT'S OPERA HOUSE
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT.
A SPLENDID AUDIENCE AND
A GRAND SPEECH.
Enthusiastic Reception Given
Our Next Congressman by
Wayne County Citizens.

Last Thursday evening Hon. Ro.
meo III. Freer, our next Congress.
man, addressed one of the larges,
and most enthusiastic political
gatherings ever held IN Ceredo.
Wrights Opera House was full to
overflowing, many being un able TO
secure seats. The large number
who heard the speech were simply
"carried away" with the speakers
sound logic and matchless eloquence.
After listening to the Judges con
vincing array of facts, so nicely
told in language both pleasing
and pointed, we cannot imagine
how any sane man could vote
against this candidate OF the G. o. p.
For almost two hours the speaker
held the immense audience almost
spell-bound by the eloquent truths
which seemed To come from his
lips as the water comes over Niagara
Falls-without any excrtion. In
his speech he did not use n single
note.
Judge Freer may we'll he consid-
cred the James G. Blaine of West
Virginia. His equal as an orator
can scarcely be found IN the State
and his voice will be heard in the
Halls Of Congress in a way that
will make the people of the
Fourth district rejoice and feel
proud that they sent him there.
While we have heard the Judg
make more eloquent addresses,
we have never heard any speaker
discuss the political issues IN
palmer or more convincing man
ner and he did it in a way at which
no one could take offense. Ills adj
dress ELECTED great applause from
the audience and at its close, the
speaker was presented with a beau
tiful boquet Of handsome flowers by
lady admirer Of good, sound Re
publican doctrine.
