the Mass Meeting
Tbe election proclamation published
last week crowded out our Dotice of the
Republican Mas3 meeting held at the
Court IIouso in Ridgway, Saturday
evenirg August 31st. Geo. Johu E.
Wilson, of Maryland, dealt out some
felling blows on the beads of our Lib
Rep-Dem. friends, and it seems some
did not like it mucbly to be thus punv
reeled, but such is life when our cause
h bad, and our men worse.
Gen. Wilson is an accomplished and
eloquent Speaker, sound in his logic
both as to premises, reasoning and con
clusions, lie is yet youDg in years, and
iy taking proper care of his bodily
health, may do good service in battling
for tho rights of man in tbe field of
politics, as be has done on other fields,
until the fiat went forth that the bond
men should go free.
His appeal in behalf of Geri. flart
fanft, his comrade on many a hard fought
flcld were most touchingly eloquent, and
Went with convincing effect to the-understanding
of many a one there.
He brings us the most encouraging
intelligence from different parts of the
Commonwealth, as to the prospects of
our gallant State standard bearer Gen.
Hartranft, and tbe entire State ticket.
The copperhead Uuckalcw is looking
or ward with some anxiety to the day,
when he shall have other use for his
private carriage, than that of driving his
friends in hate for the Government to
Nob Mouutaio copperhead campmeet-
Salutatory,
To the friends and patrons of the
Advocate. We this week take the
Editorial conduct of the ADVOCATE.
We have no particular programme to
announce, more than to express the1
hope that by close attention to the work
undertaken, We may be able, id the
futuro to keep it what, it has been ib
the past, a readable papSr.
The political tone of the paper will
be, as in the past, Republican, and as
intensely So as we are capablb of making
it.
We shall feariessly discuss the politi
cal issues of tho day, but in strict keep
ing with the facts, and principles in
volved, scurrility and personalities rigid:
ly avoided.
We hope and expect to be always on
the very best, terms of good neighbor
hood with our Editorial confreres, both
in, and out of the bounty.
All this, and it may bs ttofe, we ex
pect to accomplish.

A man who don't kudrt what be is,
or what he says. One Thos. L. Kane,
of McKean County, a few nishts since,
in company with Some Lib-RcpDcm.
laddies of Smethport went to Bradford,
in that county to organize a Greeley and
Brown Club. The chnps who wore
Katie's conirads on the occasion, spread
out their stock in trades iri the old
stereotyped columoies against Gen Grant
but when Kane came on, Balaam like
to prophesy evil against tlie Nation's
annointed. the remcrribrance of other
days come upon him, and he prophesied
pood, so that the Lib-Rep-Dems. left in
dispost, and the Grant and Wilson men
represented by a committee waited upon
this servant of the modern Bala'it, ami
thanked Mr. Kane for the r.nble service
he bad done their cause. Truly this

The new Iron Bridge across Elk creek
is completed and now open for use by
the travelling public. The length of
span is one hundred feet, supports 12
feet, nnd was built by the celebrated
King Bridge Company, of Cleveland
Ohio, under the supervision of S. A
Oliver Esq., foreman' ot the company.
Tbe Iron Bridges built by the King
Bridge company are equal, if not superior
to anv hiiV.t in this continent, and al
ready dors this company lead off in i
eonstruetien of Tron Bail Koad and wagon
Brid gps, in the West, North vfeSf and
South west. They have branch works
at different points, the Tola Kas., being
among t!ie most important.
Their wagon bridges will last three
hundred years, and their Rail Road

Just think of the vast deal of travcllinj

we would not be understood to say that any
