HELD REPUBLICAN RALLY
Congressman Brick Spoke to Good
Sized Crowd Saturday Night.
PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS
Mr.. John J. He'zs Called Upon and
Aroused Enthusiasm Of Crowd in
a Brief Speech.
a Brief spesch.

! Hon. Abraham i. Brick, republican
member of congress from Indiana, ad.
dressed an audience that comfortably
filled the Central Opera house in this
city on Saturday night, and was the
central figure in the biggest rally
held by either party in the eastern
panhandle so FL this campaign. Before
the speaking began Comrey's Concert
band paraded the streets. and also
furnished the music inside the hall
On the stage in the opera house
were seated @ A. Miller. president
of tho Lincoln club, under whose aus
pices the meeti' & was held; former
Mayor George f. Evans, United States
Fish Commissioner George NJ. Bow
ers, Mr.. George Mulliss, Mr.. /. L.
Bender, Capt. Newton Lynch. Mr..
Lee NJ Bender, and other we'll known
republicans Mr. Miller presided over
the meeting and introduced Congress
man Brick in brief speech. Mr.
Brick made q verv favorable impress
sion on the audience as speaker, be-
ing happy in his style and manner.
He was argumentatiye and positive in
his way of putting his facts, aud his
poiGts were many and well received
Mr.. Bricks address was a plain,
straight forward business talk, and AS
he attempted few flights of oratory. he
failed to elicit the enthusiasm usually
found at political meetings.
His comparisons OF the growth of
the country since 1864 were decidedly
in favor of his party, and his refer
ences to the undecided position OF the
democratic platform as contrasted with
the firm position of the republican
platform we're received with applause.
He said the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt needed no defense
the republican party was willing to
stand before the people on it's record.
He compared the last seven years of
republican prosperity with the second
four gears of Cleveland, and said this
needed no explanation except to assure
the people that they preferred repub-
licau to democratic rule.
CONGRESSMAN Brick spoke especially
in favor of Congressman Dayton. and
said that very much of the present
condition of our navy is due to hi-
efforts on the naval committee and On
the floor of the house. He declared
that Mr.. DAYTON is the best posted
man in the house on this question,
and if reelected las he no doubt will
be-. our country would never be found
in Russia's condition if war came with
any nation.
at the conclusion of Mr.. Brick
speech the hand struck up lively
air, and many people, supposing that
the meeting was over, left the hall.
But the meeting was not over, for
there were insistent calls for Mr.. John
J. Hetzel from the floor and this
gentlemen responded in ten minute
speech that aroused his hearers to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm of the
evening. d. Hetzel was pointed
and witty ~ mis- remarks. and gave
his hearers a orief sample of his ability
as ready and interesting talker on
short notice. He was loudly aDplauded.
