The Republicans of Garrett county
during the past week have been wag-
/ ing progressive fight all along the
line. Below are reports of three of
the meetings held last week, at Finzel,
I Weir's and at Blaine. This week
meetings have been held at New Ger
many, Bittinger, Sand Spring and to-
night monster meeting will be held
at Sang Run. The New Germany
meeting was largely attended and the
enthusiasm displayed by the sturdy
farmers of that section of the county
was unbounded. At Bittinger like
condition prevailed and at Sand
Spring last night the house was en-
tirely too small for the immense crowd
that had travelled through the dark
ness to attend.
AT FINZEL, OCT. 22-District No. 8
turned out in force to attend the Re-
publican rally held at Finzel last
night. An immense audience greeted
the speakers. 1t was the second DO
litical meeting ever held in District
No. 8. Mr.. Charles L. Bolden pre-
sided over the meeting with grace
and dignity. He introduced Senator
Ravenscroft, who discussed the issues
of the day and told his interested
listeners of the immense trade that
our country enjoyed; our products
which we manufacture had found
their way to the most remote sections
of the world. He told of the valor of
the American army and the ability of
the Republican party to solve all the
national and international questions
that now confront the people of our
country; that the Republican party
was a party of action rather than a
party of words. His speech was
warmly applauded and the immense
audience was highly pleased with his
address, it being the first time that
he ever spoke in the district. At the
conclusion of his address p. E. Finzel
was introduced to the audience and
entertained them for a-half hour. He
spoke of the Importance of returning
Col. George A. Pearre to Congress
how much more was to be gained by
tho 1onnr,1o of 10 l. hn,
ing an experienced man to represent
them Congress than a man without
legislative experience; what Colonel
Pearre was doing and what he was
likely to do for the people of Garrett
county; how important it was to keep
| the Colonel in Congress and how the
laws OF the country and the destiny of
the nation were controlled by men
who spent years in Congress; what he
had done for the farmer and the
miner. The audience listened with
attention and seemed to appreciate
the Importance of returning Colonel
Pearre to Congress. That he will
be warmly supported by the farmers
and miners of District No. goes
without saying.
Prof. Smith, of Blue Jay, Pa, en-
tertained the assemblage with an i'm
mense photograph, which played Sc
lections by Gilmore's and Sousa's
| bands.
The meeting closed at 10 o'clock.
and the many hurrahs heard for Col.
Pearre gave evidence that the efforts
of the speakers would not be IN vain.
AT WEIR's, OCT. 23.-All the good
people of district number eleven
turned out last night to hear the
issues of the day so ably discussed.
Captain Weir presided over the
meeting with his usual ability.
He first introduced DR.. Brotemarkle,
who in speech lasting an hour and
half told in his mastery way of the
success that has crowned the efforts
of the Republican party in legislating
for the people in the past, and that
the great question that now confronts
our people would be solved in the
same way to the best interests of all
the people if intrusted to the Repub-
lican party. He told of the care and
considerate manner that the Repub-
lican party treated the Boys in Blue
who rsked their lives in defense of
I II
was very attentively listened to by a
number Of veterans who helped to
make up one of the largest assem-
blages that ever met in district num-
Der eleven. His speech through it's
entirety was listened to with the
greatest attention, and it was the
| unanimous decision of the audience
that it was one of the ablest speeches
