The grandest and most imposing se
ries of Mass Meetings ever held in this
eounty, were held during the past week
by our gallant Democracy. These meet
ings commenced at Mrs. Morgart's, in
West Providence township, on Monday,
Sept. 24. A large delegation from Bed
ford, headed by the Democratic Brass
Band, went to this meeting. It was
joined on its way by delegations from
Colerain, Snake Spring, and Bloody
Run. The last named delegation had
a banner with a portrait of President
Johnson and underneath it Mere sus
pended two dead docks, the one labeled
Geary, the other Thud. Stevens. An
other feature M as an old fashioned game
rooster sitting, proud as a monarch, a
niong the branches of a hickory. The
enthusiasm was intense and every
thing passed off in fine style. Power
ful and convincing speeches were made
by Hon. J. McDowell Sharpe, and G.
11. Spang and O. E. Shannon, Esqrs.
We have not been handed a list of the
officers of this meeting.— In the even
ing an impromptu meeting M as organ
ized at Bloody Run, in front of Black's
Hotel. Able speeches were made by
llon. J. McDowell Sharpe and W. C.
S haffer, Esq. During the speaking
some rowdies, set on by some of the pi
ous Radicals of Bloody Run, undertook
to break up the meeting, by interrupt
ing the speaker and throwing stones in
to the crowd, hut some of the gallant
Democratic boys "went for" the scoun
drels, Mho beat a hasty retreat. This
meeting was very large and was a grand
Pieces-. Bloody Run will do its duty
at the polls.

The next meeting was at Ilopevvell,

delightful music.
The meeting at Woodberry, on
Wednesday, was a large and splendid
one. The Democrats of Woodberry
know how to get up good meetings.
The weather, however, was very unfa
vorable, and several delegations, beau
tifully arranged, were prevented from
attending. Not withstanding, the meet
ing was one of the largest ever held in
Woodberry. Great speeches were made
by Hon. J. McDowell Sharpe, and G.
11. Spang and <>. E. Shannon, Esqrs.,
and others. The Bedford Democratic
Brass Band was in attendance and en
