J. McCarthy, John M. Garman and Matthew Long. The Bryan men of Freeland and vi cinity held two successful rallies here this week, and though both were gotten up without much notice the Grand opera house was occupied by enthusiastic au diences on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Last night's meeting was by far the larger of the two, as John M. Garman, candidate for congress, was advertised to speak, and the popularity of the nominee on the North Side was well shown by the number who went to hear him. James F. Sweeney presided at the mooting, and his Introductory remarks were well received. Ho was followed by Mr. Garman, who received quite an ovation as he stepped before the audi ence. The spoakor got into his subject at the very outset of his address, and for more than an hour he ably presented the side of the issue represented by Mr. Bryan, himself and the otlier Demo-1 cratic candidates. Ho told of how the two national tickets had boon placed in the field, how Mckinley's nomination was a foregone conclusion long before the Republicans i met, and how Bryan sprung up as a presidential possibility without the aid of trusts, syndicates or money influence. The scheming and manipulating of Piatt and Quay, and their success in committing their party to the gold stan dard, by having the silver plank of the platform ambiguously worded, was also told, and of how Whitney, Flower and other Democrats tried the same schemes at Chicago and how they were turned down by an overwhelming vote. After liis entertaining explanation of iiow both candidates and both platforms came before the public, Mr. Garman took up each section of the Democratic document and carefully analyzed, ex plained and defended it paragraph by paragraph. lie showed that there exists a strong reason for incorporating into our national laws every reform and every demand made by the Democrats. His defense of the proposition to have free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver was an able one. lie showed who and how that would benefit and who it would hurt. Likewise lie proved the justice of an income tax, of the protest against government by injunction, of the criticism of the supreme court, and of the demands of Democracy that strug gles between corporations and their employes, when communities are inter ested or elFected by such strife, shall be settled by arbitration. Ho eloquently explained why it is that the monled men who heretofore affiliated with the Democratic party have left this year in a body and gone over, witli very few exceptions, as one man to the Re publicans. lie pointed out the planks of the platform which touched the sore spots of these ex-leaders, and was thank ful that the party is at last rid of every vestige of corruption that existed in the ranks. The speaker paid a tribute to the sac rifices made by the Populist and Free Silver parties in endorsing Mr. Bryan, and told the audience that the principles which the Democratic candidates repre sent must be of supreme importance when great Independent political organ izations are willing to sink their iden tity and join hands with former oppo nents. Coming nearer home, the speaker referred briefly to the charges which have been circulated against him by a Ilazleton paper. It has been alleged that his connection witli many secret and fraternal organizations, notably the P. O. S. of A., the Odd Fellows, Masons, Knights of Pythias and others was for political effect, and that ho was also a member of the A. O. 11. and a Polish Catholic society. Mr. Garman proved to the satisfaction of the audience that the stories circulat ed were Intended solely to bring him into disfavor witli people who do not approve of secret, societies, and that the allegations that lie is a member of tho two last-named organizations wore for a somewhat similar purpose. Tho address throughout was inter spersed with several of the speaker's anecdotes and illustrations, and before concluding lie paid his respects to the corporations who gratuitously furnished I transportation to tho thousands who were then parading in Wilkesbarre, and asked tho voters why it was that rail roads, operators and tho like were so eager for the success of his opponent. He concluded with much applause by counseling all who thought iie would do right to vote for him and all who thought tho other man would servo thom better to vote against him. Matthew Long, candidate for the legislature, was next introduced and was warmly welcomed. lie spoke' at length upon the national issues, and his remarks wore given strict attention, lie also touched upon tho now county plank of his platform, which is one of FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1890. his opponent's planks as well, and stated that he honestly believed a new county would be a benefit to every citizen in the district. Mr. Long pledged himself to work and vote, if elected, for every measure that may come before the legis lature which may be of any benefit to the laboring people. 1). .1. McCarthy was the last speaker, and though the hour was growing late when he began lie held the crowd until the mooting adjourned. He briefly re viewed the county ticket, from top to bottom, showing the merits of each can didate, excepting himself, and made an earnest and eloquent plea for the elec tion of all. Lator on he referred to the main question of the compaign, and the Democrats have no reason to fear criti cism of the last s; eech made. The speaker simply outdid himself, and up plauso after applause greeted his re markable eloquence. Prominent Hc publicans in the audience vied with Democrats in showing their apprecia tion of Mr. McCarthy's address. Tuesday Evening'* Meeting. Only a few hours were given on Tues day to advertise the meeting that even ing, but this was sufficient to draw over 300 voters to the hull. The audience was addressed by Hugh Malioy, chair man, George A. Edwards, of Wilkosbarre, and D. J. McCarthy, candidate for sena tor. Mr. Malloy spoke briefly, but to the point. He was followed by Mr. Ed wards, who made a hit here earlier in the campaign. The arguments of this convert from Republicanism are increas ing in strength as election day draws closer, and his sincerity and earnestness in espousing tho cause of the now Democ racy compel even those who differ with Idm to respect him. The senatorial candidate made his first appearance here since his nomina tion, and was accorded a royal greeting by his neighbors. It is a fact almost unnecessary to mention that Mr. Mc- Carthy can make a good speech on al most any question, and on Tuesday evening lie fulfilled all expectations. From an educational point of view it is doubtful if the money problem lias been anywhere presented in a more concise and clear-cut style, and was not a voter in • the hall who did not leave without hav ing learned something new on the issue. His remarks throughout were temper ate, and no effort was made to arouse partisanship or passion. The strong points of his address were illustrated with local object lessons, and Republi cans and Democrats were given more then a few questions to think of between now and election day. The uddress was undoubtedly the best dellvcied here. Luther League Convention. The fifth semi-annual convention of the Upper Lehigh Valley Luthur League opened on Tuesday morning at the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church. West Ilazleton. Rev. Hitter, pastor of the church, delivered the address of welcome. Rov. Schlenkor, president of the Central League, submitted his report. It showed that there are 8 state leagues. 294 locals, 19 central. The league of the Upper Lehigh district Is tenth in size witli 13 locals. All the loaguos have grown in activity all over the country during the past six months. Miss Minnie Spanglorroad a well pre pared essay on "The Luther League and the Hiblo," followed witli an open ing address on the same subject by Rov. Ilemsath, of Conyngham. This was fol lowed by a general discussion. Rev. W. U. Uhter bad for a subject, 4, 1)0cs the Luther League Fill a Long Felt Want In Our Church?" There was a gen eral discussion on this subject which ! closed the session. The evening exercises were held in the church and were largely attended. The noxt meeting will be held at Le highton in April, 1897. The following Freeland people took part in the convention: Rov. J. J.

Anthony Zemitis is in jail under sentence of death for the murder of Andrew Yeasley in the Black mail mines, and Attorney James L. Lenahan has argued for a new trial. Tho reasons are of a sensational char acter. Yeasley, the murdered man, was buried in a Slavish cemetery, near Ply mouth, without any post-mortem being held. About six months afterward, shortly before the trial, police went to the cemetery and exhumed what they thought to be Yeasley's body, but were surprised to find there instead the body of a woman. A second grave adjoining was also opened, but that did not contain the body wanted, and the party was about to abandon the search when a foreigner, who was fixing a grave nearby, inquired the object of their search and conducted them to Yeasley's grave. The third grave was opened and the undertaker at once identified the body as being Yeas ley from the clothes. The body was lifted from the grave, the top of tlie skull removed and a bullet found. Attorney Lenahan claimed he but recently learned of the above and believes that it was of sufficient import ance to be shown to the jury, as the un certainty of opening three graves throws a serious doubt upon tho last body being that of Yeasley's. Its Mission Is to Make Laughter. Wilkesbarre Newsdealer, October 27, 185J6. T-'he "Sporting Craze," a musical comedy, opened a three nights engage ment at Music Hall last evening. The mission of this play is to make people laugh and well they succeeded in their undertaking last evening, as tho audi ence did not cease laughing during the progress of the entire performance and a better pleased audience never left at the conclusion of a performance. The specialties are the principal features and the singing and dancing are above tho average. In tho company is George 11. Adams, the clown, who has made thousands laugh from one end of the continent to tho other while with Han lon's "Fantasma." lie is assisted by his accomplished daughters, Misses Touina and Lillio, and they are the possessors of pleasing voices and very .graceful dancers. The German specialties of Carl in and Clark are by far the best ever seen in this city. Frank Farley is very clever. He possesses liglitning like rapidity and at punching the hug lie lias 110 equal. There is also Miss Emma DeCastor, a pleasing winsome little lady, who capti vated the audience with her singing and dancing. William Cortwright made a pronounced hit in tho character of Josh Reuben. All in all it is one of the fun niest comedies seen at Music Hall this season. At Freeland November 5. A Remarkable Feat. Iu view of the great Interest in the j outcome of the election next Tuesday, i November 3, the Philadelphia Press j has made preparations for the collection of the returns which far surpass any i previous attempts in this direction.

Tliis will enable the Press to give its readers on Wednesday morning. Novem ber 4. absolutely accurate returns from all parts of the country.
