Radical Pow-wow.—'The Radicals
of this county held a council of war in
the court house on Tuesday evening of
court. It was the most complete fail
ure we have ever seen. True, there
were a good many people there but
they were mostly Democrats who went
thitherto hear what arguments were to
be advanceed to induce honest men to
vote for that huge compound of igno
rance and vanity—that corrupt and
imbecile "King of the Ring, Hans
Geary. Rut I> (>or Hans was sadly
slighted by the speakers. There were
none so poor to do hiin reverence.
Lougeneekeropened the fall campaign
with a "piece" tolerably well spoken,
but with nothing in it. Next was in
troduced a bashful youth from Hunt
ingdon, surnamed Lytle or Little, who
said so little and so little to the purpose
that lie was unanimously voted a fail
ure of the first water. The only truth
he uttered was, that Packer and Persh
ing were both honest men. This was
not relished by his radical audience.
He took good care, however, not to in
sult the people of Bedford county by
asserting that Hans Geary was honest
or capable.
After this little talk by the fellow
from Huntingdon, came the übiqui
tous John, with the same old abuse
of Democrats, uttered with the same
shrill howl that trooly loil shreekers
like he only know how to make. John
complained of a blister on his tongue,
and said he used to get small blisters
when ne told lies for the Democrats.
The present affliction was of a more se
rious nature—the blisters being larger
—and is, no doubt, attributable to the
huge lies he told when ho made those
solemn pledges in the hall of the steep
roofed house. Rut John must remem
ber that the people of this district will
soon have another chance at him,
and then he will get a blistering that
he will not soon forget. We discovered
nothing new in 'our member's' speech.
The same tirade of abuse against the
men with whom he was butashort time
ago politically connected —the same
self-praising spirit which characterizes
all his speeches, was re-hashed to his
audience on Tuesday night. Rut even
the people of this county are getting
tired of his talk, for long before he was
through, the room was almost cleared,
and the speakers who were held in re
serve, had to go home without l>eing
permitted to give the audience their
quota to this political feast.
RA I LKOA D M ICE N XG. — Bedford
must have a Hail road.—A large num
ber of the citizens of Bedford, pursuant
notice given, assembled in the
Court House, on Thursday evening,
the 9th inst., for the purpose of making
preliminary arrangements for the hol
ding ola railroad meeting during the
term of a special Court, commencing
on the 27th inst.; at which time one or
several propositions for the construct
ing of a railroad to this point, it is ex
pected, will be submitted.
The meeting was called to order by
the selection of Hon. George \V.
Gump as Chairman, and J. B. Dur
borrow, as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was sta
ted at length, by Hon. Alexander King,
who stated in the course of his remarks,
that he had an interview a week or
two since with Col. Jas. Worral, Pres
ident of the South Pennsylvania Rail
road Company ; a company chartered
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania in
the-year 18-74, to run from Harrisburg
through Bedford and other counties,
to points in Western Pennsylvania,
who proposed to assist us in the con
-truction of our road from Bedford to
Bridgeport, provided, the citizens of this
county were willingto avail themselves
of the charter oft heSouth Pennsylvania
Company, and that at the meeting con
templated this proposition would in all
probability,be submitted for theappro
val of those who are subscribers to the
stock of the Bedford and Bridgeport
Railroad. Should our people conclude
to accept this proposition they will be
asked to invest stock in the beginning
of an independent line of railroad con
necting from Harrisburg west by the
Pittsburg and Connellsville with Pitts
burg, and the Hempfield with Wheel
ing, thus forming a great through line
to the Great West, the stock of which
cannot fail to become as valuable as
that of any of the great trunk lines.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Mr. King moved that a committee of
tive be appointed for the purpose of ma
king arrangements for the holding of a
I meeting during the term of our special
Court, and subsequent meetings, if ne
cessary ; and that the committee corres
pond with Col. James Worrall and se
cure his attendance at the time of hol
ding the meeting stated ; which was
unanimously adopted.
The Chair appointed Hou. Alexan
der King, John Lutz, Esq., HonJ.Sam
uel L. Russel, Jacob Reed and Thom
as M. Lynch, said committee.
Brief speeches were then made by
J. R. Durborrow, John Lutz, and Sam
uel Lysinger, Esqs.
On motion, the meeting adjourned
to meet at the call of the committee.
The feeling manifested was of a much
better order than we have heretofore
witnessed at Bedford railroad meetings.
Everybody admits the feasibility of
the proposition.
The Republican Silver Band enliven
ed the occasion with choice music, for
which they have the thanks of the
meeting. GEORGE W. GUMP,
,J. R. DURBORBOW, Pres't.
