The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-10-30

croft, VINO was warmly applaude(
when he arose. He has a great many
friends in district number eleven anC
they were highly delighted to heal
him. He spoke of the condition O
our people during the period from
the year 1892 to 1896, when there were
five men seeking one position. anC
what a contrast to-day, when five pc
sitions are seeking one man. He told
of the importance of keeping Colonel
Pearre in the next Congress, of his
efforts to help the people of our coun-
ty and the wisdom of keeping expe-
rienced men in Congress.
The meeting came to a close at II
O'Clock and the many fair ladies were
much pleased with the meeting.
Hon. Vim. H. Jacobs, Judge Merrill
and the leading citizens of number
eleven attended the meeting, and
they all considered how important it
was to go to the polls and support the
gallant Colonel Pearre for Congress.
A rousing Republican meeting was
held in the schoolhouse at Blaine on
Thursday evening, October 23rd. The
crowd was so large that only about
one-half of those attending could get
in the school house and many stood
on the outside listening to the speak
ers.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. George Kitzmiller, of that locality,
and Robert G. Wilson, a veteran of
the Civil war presided.
The speakers were Senator K. A.
Ravenscroft, of this county, and David
E. Dick, of Allegany county. They
reviewed the history of both parties
on all the questions involved in this
campaign and demonstrated the i'm
portance of Republican success to the
farmer, the merchant, the miner, the
laboring man and all other classes of
industry. Senator Ravenscroft de-
livered very forceful and eloquent
address, which was received with vo-
ciferous applause by the large audi
ence present. Mr.. Dick devoted his
time mostly to a discussion of the
trusts and the coal strike, showing
that the only legislation beneficial to
the protection of the mining and
other industries was passed by the
Republican party. He emphasized
particularly that in 1894 under Grover
Clevelands administration, the min
ers were reduced from SOC to 40c per
ton, while to- day, because of the mag
niticent administration of the late
President Mckinley and President
Theodore Roosevelt, the miners were
receiving soc per ton.
The meeting was a rousing success
and indicated that that district would
do her duty on the fourth of Novem-
Der by rolling up big majority in
favor of the reelection of Hon. George
A. Pearre.
Mr.. Rafter, the leading general
merchant of that locality, was very
courteous to the speakers and took a
decided interest in the success of the
meeting.
Messrs. Ravenscroft and Dick were
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Kitzmiller
and speak very highly of the kind
treatment received.
On Saturday, October 25th, the
same speakers held a meeting in the
Town Hall in the lively mining town
of Bloomington, where they were ac-
corded an enthusiastic reception,
many people being compelled to stand
on the outside on account of the
crowded condition of the hall.
Mr.. Howard, one of the young and
promising Republicans of that local.
ity, called the meeting to order and
introduced the speakers. Their re-
marks were well received, and the en-
thusiasm of the miners at that meet
ing was very pronounced when the
conditions of the present were con-
trasted with those of 1894 under the
Cleveland administration. The argu-
ments showing the benefcient results
accruing from Republican legislation
seemed to find responsive echo in
in every heart, because the miners of
that locality we'll remembered the re-
duction from SOC to 40c per ton in 1894
The people present remarked that it
was one of the most scccessful meet
ings ever held there and it was the
concensus of opinion that much good
was affected
Mr.. Jacob Stump, County Commits
sioner, who lives at Bloomington,
drove the speakers from there to Pied
mont after the meeting was over and
otherwise accorded them every cour-
tesy possible.
The results were very gratifying
and Bloomington will certainly do
her duty in support of the Republic
can principles on the 4th day of the
coming November.
