In spite of the strong vote polled here,
the republicans actually made a net
gain of 33 votes over last year. The most
sangnine republican expected that the
opposite thing would be true. Most of

night, the teaets of the non-partisan
movement being discussed by Rev.
W. II. Wise of Chicago. It was not
decided until Saturday morning that
the meeting would be held and for
that reason It was nut advertised very
widely, and the crowd that greeted
the speaker was not large, many of the
persons in the audience being women.
The speaker of the evening is a young
man of polished manners and good
education. Many of his arguments

COUNTY TRUSTEES
IHftcotsed Stone Komls ut Their Meeting
Last Saturday.
The trustees of Lorain county met at
Elyria, Saturday, Nov. 4. The meeting
was called to order by the president,
F. D. Warren of Wellington.
The tirst topic discussed was " How
to Keep our Boad Sides Clean." A
motion was made and carried to ap
point a committee of three to draw up
a petition, which is to be sent to every
township in the county for the farmers
to sign. The petition is then to be sent j
to the county's state representative.
The committee appointed is: Mr.
Langdon of Elyria, H. C. Wanze
rine of Oberlin, and F. A. Douglass of
Wellington.
The committee will meet at Hon. A.
G. Coming's office in Oberlin, Satur
day, Nov. 11.
The stone road question was dis
cussed, but no formal action was ta
ken. There are now about $27,000 on hand,
raised from the tax assessment last
June, for the building of stone roads,
and It is probable that the county com
missioners will take the matter up at a
special meeting in the near future.

RECEPTION ARRANGEMENTS. ' . ' '
At a meeting Monday night of Company G, of which Gen. Metcalf was
lieutenant, it was thought best to hold the ezceroises at the Opera house on
the evening of the general's arrival. It is now believed that he Will reach
here next Wednesday afternoon on the 1 K)8 train, or possibly a day' earlier or
later. Ifowever that may be, it was decided that the 17 remaining members of his
old company and a reception committee of citizens will meet him at the train.
It is expected that the band also will be at the depot on his arrival. '
His arrival in Wellington will be announced by a salute of thirteen guns,
the ringing of bells and the blowing of factory whistles. The recaption com
mittee will be composed of the following citizens:

THE EVENING PROGRAM.
The most interesting part of the reception has been reserved for the eve
ning. At that time Uen. Metcalf will be escorted to the Opera house, probably
by the Wellington band, and the hospitality and welcome of the citizens of
Wellington and vicinity will be extended to him. The exercises will begin at
7 :30, and will include a number of short addresses that promise to be very In
teresting. The following program, subject to amendment, has been arranged
for the evening:
Song by the School Children, "America."
Address of Welcome and Response.
Song by the Adelphian Quartette.
A Number ot Short Speeches by Citizens.
Song by the Adelphian Quartette.
Song by the School Children, "Star Spangled Banner."
It seems likely that the reception to Gen. Metcalf will be a larger affair
than was at tirst intended, and if the weather is favorable, it is believed that
many persons will be here from neighboring towns. Besides the Wellington
band, the Huntington band has signified its willingness to attend the evening
reception, and invitations will be extended to the Spencer and La Grange
cornet bands and the Brighton marshall band to be here at tbe same time.
