Hall near SINNERS, on
my second Welt. 1 gave the Reg
ister an account of my first visit.
Not knowing what might be the
effect on the females, l could not
help giving great deal of credit
for the success, SO L was on the
lookout for the broom-stick, but 1
concluded that there was no
shown on account of the
broom trust l suppose they be-
ing of economical nature they were
fearful of breaking a broom since
they pay trust prices for them. 1
think if they had vote they would
reason together and make cheap
brooms for domestic use and self
defense. 1 ventured to make no
inquiry and 1 noticed as soon as /
crossed the bridge over 16-mile
creek the road was in most excell-
emit order. 1 was told the bridge
was the Mason and Dixon line be-
tween Hannah and Clendenin, not
established to prohibit slavery
north of said line. but to divide
the two districts that each district
should govern it's own internal
affairs.
1 ask what was the cause of this
difference in the roads? / at once
thought 1 had struck Mckinley
prosperity, and being of DISPOSE
ton to give the credit to the party
that was entitled to it, L ventured
to say it was Mckinley prosperity.
No, no, said lifelong Republican,
the cause of this change you sec
for the better, is, we Republican
voters stuck to our cause until the
sun of prosperity had set and we
saw no arrangement made for the
night, only for our district officers,
we be gan to look around forquarters,
and the first house we called at we
told our situation and the cause as
we thought. The old gentleman
said he had lived there all his life,
and the latch string had always
bsen on the outside. We we're all
treated and SO we concluded to rea.
together. Hence, you see the pros
perity you speak of is the result of
reasoning together, instead of re-
naming in posts sworn not to vote
for our best friends in time of our
adversely. We remembered the
boy in Nashville, Tenn, that met
President jackson in the street,
with basket covered over. Jack
son said, "Son. what is in your
basket?" The boy said it was
"Whigs" that aroused the curiosity
of Jackson, 80 he raised tile cover,
and behold it was six young pups.
jackson asked why he called them
"Whigs2" The boys answer was,
"they only have four days more on-
til they would get their eyes open
and then they would be Demo.
Gratis"
l was told the Democrats had a
majority in Clendenin, and was
$1,000 ahead, and they we're putting
it on the roads and in the schools,
SO the people who put their hard
earnings in the surplus, might all,
irrespective of party, get the bene-
fit of it, instead of few favored
contractors. I hope that other dis
triots may get their eyes open be
fore November, and do as Clenden-
in has done. One reason for Glen
denim being in front in this cause
for the better, is the intelligence,
industry and economy of our citi-
zeus.
1 saw on the day [ spoke of
above the up-turned sun burnt
faces of our farmers Listening to
one of her representative members
of the Grange deliver one of the
best lectures 1 ever heard delivered
by Mr. Atkinson, then Hon. j. B.
Menager, whom I have known from
childhood. He always in his in
PRODUCTION of his friends to me tells
them L made the first pants he ev-
or had When he took the stand ]
expected to hear him break the
rules of the committee and run in
to politics, knowing him to be full
of enthusiasm for the cause he is
in, but he touched 30 light that
there was no room to call him to
order. He told us of the advant-
age that taxpayers had over us in
Ohira in their mode of taxation,
that all of the worthless land was
taken from the taxable land and
not taxed. / saw at once that /
