TEN THOUSAND it is Said Attended Foraker Meeting at Glonster. Largest Parade in the History of That Part of the County. Tariff the Ileal Issue. GIjOuktkk, Oct. 29 The Republican Rally of the county was held . here Saturday. Hon. J. B. Foraker addressed the meeting; which eclipsed any that Foraker himself - had ever held here. Fully ten . thousand people attended. Ail could . not get in Rood hearing distance of . the Senator but those in front crowded back and let others in. One could not realize how immense the crowd was by standing at any one noint. V.nthiiHlftHin ran hiirli. Haiia . tor Foraker spoke an hour and a half eloquently and logically on the real issues of the campaign the Dlngley Tariff Law of the present administration which opened our factories and mines, turning every . wheel in the country and which made a market for the farmers pro : duce, his stock, and so fourth. The parade was formed at Jack sonvine ana was tne largest one ever witnessed. The Athens Roujrh Riders were joined by Jersey ville, Chauncey and others along the route. Thia with the escort, those from Trimble and surrounding places made up an immense parade. I( was three quarters of an hour passing a given poiutand both ends of the procession could not be seen at once. The Columbus Glee Club composed of fifty singers, among them our former representative, J. M. Allen, was present and rendered some excellent music. Bands and drum . corps too numerous to mention were in the parade and along the line of march. The parade went up Main street, the full length of the town, one mile to Urbancrestand returned to the tent, back of the school house Senator Foraker was introduced in a very appropriate speech by Dr, A. J. Crawford and took the stand amid deafening applause. He took the people back to the time when President McKinley called a special session of Congress to legislate out of existence Democratic "free trade" and spoke at length of the country at that time. He told how anxious the people were to have the Dingloy bill passed ; how they wrote letters urging their representatives and Senators to "hurry up" and do . something. He went on and told how they had to handle the mutter with gloves, having a bare majority. Finally it was passed and they all went home. And Senator Foraker added, ''I felt the boom when I got off the train at Cincinnati," anil be bus been feeling It ever since. So have the people and they will cease to feel it when they let the Democratic party in to monkey with the tariff again. There is no question about Trimble township. Col, Robert King was officer of the day. FUKAKKR AT ATHENS. Foraker was driven to Athens with the Rough Riders under Col. I). H. Moore as escort. There was much cheering and enthusiasm all along the journey. He spoke here in the evening from a platform at the Court House. He was introduce by Chairman J. P. Wood who said, "We will give him whatever he wants." This brought enthusiastic cheers f rom the audience. The Senator spce an hour principally on expansion, showing the fallacies and inconsistencies of the Democratic position. Several thousand neorjle .filled the streets in front. A parade made up of horsemen with torch lights, passed up Court street just before the speech. Both meetings were magnificent and show the appreciation Athens county has of our able Senator. JACKSONVILLE MEETING. Jacksonville, O , Oct. 29. A Republican meeting was held here last Thursday night. The speakers were Hon. E. P. Seeds of Iowa, who has been in Athens county several weeks and I. M. Foster, Chairman of the Central Committee of Athens. Mr. Foster spoke first and gave some excellent reasons for supporting the Republican ticket this fall.' He is one of the promising young Republicans of our county and contributed his part to the Republican majority which JacRsonville is going to give next Tuesday. Mr. Seeds then followed, making a splendid address. He is an enthusiastic speaker and an orator of more than ordinary ability. His speech was appreciated by our people as evi denced by the applause at ,its close. Jacksonville has been Dernooratio but we propose to carry it this time by a majority of from twenty to fifty votes. BBOAUWKLL MKKTINU. Broadwell, O., Oct. 2!). We had an excellent political meeting here Thursday evening. Hon. A. E Price and E. C.Wood worth of Ath ens were the speakers and both made good addresses. It was a lit tle cool for au out-door meeting, but in spite of this fact it. was held in the grove on the hill. A large crowd was in attendance from points in both Athens and Morgan counties. We will stir up a good vote for McKinley and Roosevelt in thia part of the county. Bryan men are very scarce. MAKSHFIEJ.K MKKTINU. Marshneld, Oct. 29. We had an enthusiastic political meeting here last Wednesday evening. Addresses were made by Hon. B. P. Seeds of Iowa and M. M. Brysou of Glouster. Both speakers' gave an excellent discussion on the issues of the present campaign. Democratic fallacies and Bryan prophesies were held up to the light of reason and thoroughly punctured. Our people are going to vote right and continue the present prosperity. ThiB section of the county has never seen such prosperous times as tne preseut BR AN SPEAKS At Charleston, hut Forgets to Mention Important Matters. Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 22, 1900. Athens County Gazette: Today was another big day in this city. The big democratic rally wns held and would have been considered a big meeting if it had not been so recently eclipsad by the Re publican meeting, last Friday. Bryan in his speech from the lear of the C. &O passenger tram, conspicuously forgot to mention Free Silver, Tariff or any other of the leading issues of this 'campaign ex cepting Imperialism and Expansion. He forgot to point out to the farmer ust how wheat and silver always had and always would stay together in price. He did not try to explain to the miner of the Kanawha Valley why he was getting: no work; in '96 and plenty now. He said he would not have tima to more than mention a few things and after he nan mentioned them we think it a God-send to him that he did not have time to explain, for it would have been hard to do. For instance it would have been hard for him to tell the the people just how he was going to withdraw the soldiers from the Philipines when Congres said stay ; or how he was goiug to show the negro how the Republican party is his enemy and the Democrat his friend, having as the reason the stand we are taking in the Philippines. This in view of the laws they have just passed in some of the southern states would be a difficult task: To sum the whole thing up, he made a very nice speech on nothing and took good care to say ' nothing about it. , KOOMCVKl.T MKKTINU. The crowd at Roosevelt's meeting was estimated at over 30.000. The Rough Riders were mostly miners from up the river riding bank mules. We are glad to make the statement that all the operators and almost every miner in the Kanawha Valley are for McKinley regardless of previous politics. While Kanawha county is close, it is surprising to know how few of the laboring class here are Democrats. No, not surprising either for it is hard to convince the workingman, who as a rule is the man with the good sound mother-wit, that it is better to go hungry than to work ; they much prefer carrying "a full dinner pail" to work' than to have nothing to carry and no place to which to carry .it Death of liirt McLean. Kirt McLean aged fifty two died at his home about five miles south of Athens one week ago last Wednesday the 24th. Inflamation of the bowels' was the cause of his death; Interment took place near Bates church Rev. Smith officiating. Death of D. 13. Stewart, Jr. Stewart, O., Oct. 31. D. B. Stewart, Jr., died today at his home here. His funeral will be held Friday from the residence of his father on College street, Athens. He leayes a wife and three children. THE AMERICAN PARAMOUNT. ELECTKIC CARS Will Soon be Seen Moving Up and Down The Sunday Creek and Hocking Valleys. Line to Chauncey, Xejsonvilie and Glouster. The street car line seems to be a go. mere is now in process or organization a company to be called The Athens Nelsonville and Hocking Valley Traction Co. The business of the road will be confined to carrying passengers and light freight. The mala line will xtend from Athens to Chauucey. There two tracks will be made, one branch going to Nelsonville, thence by way of Buchtel to Murray City. The other branch will go through Chauncey, Millfield, Jacksonville and Trimble to Glouster. Branches will probably run out there to the neigh boring towns and the two lines may be connected by a route through Derthick, the low gap by the school house in the Anderson district to Orbiston. The line from Athens will extend along the east side of ! the river, as by way of the plains would necessitate two bridges across the river. The right of way has been secured from Athens to Nelsonville and most of the way from Athens to Glouster excepting through the corporate limits of the towns. After the system1 is in operation, other lines will undoubtedly be built to points both within and outside the county. This will be a fine thing for the people of the county. Those living in the country along the route will profit much by it, both as to convenience and increased valuation of property. , Death of Mrs. Foley. Glouster, Oct. SO.Mrs. Foley, the aged mother of John and Bart Foley, Mrs. M. T. Walsh, Mrs. John Walsh, Mrs. Dan McBride and Miss Bridget Foley, died Wednesday. Her death was due largely to old age. Funeral services in the Catholic church Friday morning by Rev. Father Ross. Interment at Athens. A DISCONTENTED INDIVIDUAL I s the Conclusion Our Correspondent Makes of Toledo Jones. Glouster, O , Oct. 30. The much-talked of Mayor Jones of Toledo put in his appearance here according to program Monday to inform' the miners who are making $50 to $65 per month that they are not prosperous. About three hundred people were out to hear him some because they thought he would do the Democratic cause some good, others through curiosity. Curious ,to see the man who is for both the "Golden Rule" and W. J. Bryan, Mr. Jones said he was a man without a party but intended to vote for William j Jennings Bryan. He seems to be a I discontented sort of individual and SOUTH EASTERN Teachers Hold Animal Meeting In College Auditorium. Almost Three Hundred Attended During Three Days, Good Addresses-Oflicers Elected.' The South-Eastern Ohio Teachers Association held its annual meeting in Athens at the College Auditorium last Friday and Satur day. October 26 and 27. About 800 teachers, were present throughout this session, though ouly 221 en rolled and paid the registration fee The inteiest manifested by the teacJien was good and the attendance above the average. At 2 o'clock Friday afternoon the president of the association, Miss Hannah U. Maxon of GallipnJis, called the teachers to order. After singing "America" and prayer by Rev. G. Walton King, Prof. J. P. McVey sang a solo which, was well received by the teachers. ; Dr. R. F. Bishop, presiding elder on Marietta district delivered the address of welcome which was re- sponded to by Mr. S. P. Humphrey i superintendent of the Ironton public schools, Miss Maxon then made her inaugural address which was followed with a vocal solo by Miss Blanche Sissoh of Nelsonville. Superintendent Henry G. Williams of the Marietta public schools then discussed the educational value of an idea. This address was Clear-Cut and suggestive. A recees was next taken for the teachers to enroll.In the evening at 8:00'af.tera vocal solo by Miss Louise Mason of Pomeroy, and a selection by the O. U. quartette, Miss Maxou introduced President J. W. Bashford of Delaware who delivered the annual annual address. This was one of the most maguiflcent addresses ever made before an Athens audience. Dr. Bashford discussed world problems growing out of the recent disturbance in Chiuaaiid the part the United States must play in the solu- I tion of these problems. He demon strated to the teacher the necessity of teaching the power of self con ra ilea against both parties. It should be remembered that he is speaking under the auspices of the DemocraticCommittee and his expenses no doubt are paid by that Committee. He had no influence on our people. They question his sincerety and honesty. He had no argument; he just talked and railed against every thing. Our township is Republican by the largest majority ever given and nothing will change it. In addition to their increase of 21 per cent, our miners are jubilant over the recent victory of the anthracite miners. Coal miners are a loyal Bet of men. trol and the meaning of service. Following this address two humorous lectfbn were given by Superintendent V. T Coates of Pomeroy. An informal reception 'followed in which teachers and friends unhesitatingly and with delight indulged in the punch bowl aud wafers Saturday morning at :00 the Association was again called to order. After devotional exercises con- auctea oy itev. t,, c Maaoox and a vionn soio ny Artnur m. ;iy. Su perintendent Aaron Grady of Nel aotiviile discussed the question, "How to judge of a teacher's sue cess. - rouowing tnis was a paper J on practical nature study read by J Miss Minnie D. Wyman of McAr- j thur. Homer A. Wilson next sang i a solo after which Judge J. M. Wood ' talked to the teachers on some ( phases of the school law. j After a solo by Miss Jane Ryan, J lit, F, C. Doan of the department of 1 psychology and pedogogy in the O. I U. read a paper on the new pgy-! chology against old power in educa tion. Dr. Doan maintains that although the study of psychology will help the teacher to know something about mental states, the same will not aid in knowing absolutely the different spontaneities of toe different pupils whom be teaches. Superintendent J. E. Kionison of Jackson followed with an excellent paper on "What and how much to teach." The program was concluded by Dr. j. M. Davis, presiden t of Rio Grande College, with a discussion of the question, "Do our colleges, give proper attention to moral training?" Dr. Davis takes a very, optimistic view of this question. The next meeting of the South-Eastern will be held in Jackson the last Thursday and Friday of Octo ber, 1901. Pro!. B. O, Higley or the O, U. was elected president and Superintendent J. E. Kinnison, Chairman of the executive committee. The success of the meeting last week was due largely to the, thor ough preparation and untiring efforts of Superintendent Coultrap and the teachers of the Athens public schools. Athens was equal to the emergency and the jolly pedagogues went home feeling it was good for them to have been here. Obituary. Sarah E. Miller Glazier was at Lancaster, Ohio, April 2:. died at Amesville, October 1. born JWii; 1900. in her 65tr. year. S he was a niece of Geueral Thomas Ewing.

U. quartette, Miss Maxou introduced President J. W. Bashford of Delaware who delivered the annual annual address. This was one of the most maguiflcent addresses ever made before an Athens audience. Dr. Bashford discussed world problems growing out of the recent disturbance in Chiuaaiid the part the United States must play in the solu- I tion of these problems. He demon strated to the teacher the necessity of teaching the power of self con ra ilea against both parties. It should be remembered that he is speaking under the auspices of the DemocraticCommittee and his expenses no doubt are paid by that Committee. He had no influence on our people. They question his sincerety and honesty. He had no argument; he just talked and railed against every thing. Our township is Republican by the largest majority ever given and nothing will change it. In addition to their increase of 21 per cent, our miners are jubilant over the recent victory of the anthracite miners. Coal miners are a loyal Bet of men. trol and the meaning of service.

Davis, presiden t of Rio Grande College, with a discussion of the question, "Do our colleges, give proper attention to moral training?" Dr. Davis takes a very, optimistic view of this question.
