, October 19, 1892.
Twenty-eight years ago to day the great
battle between the forces of Karly and Sher
idan was joined at Cedar Creek. It was
the occasion of the poem, by Read, entitled
‘‘Sheridan’s Ride.’’
To-morrow (Thursday) night Hon. Win.
L. Wilson will speak in Martinsburg.—
There’s a chance for Mr. Wisner to try to
make the "fur fly.*’ Iu the afternoon of
the same day Mr. Wilson will speak at
Hedgeaville.
Mr. C. C. Church, a prominent Republi
can of Parkersburg, declined to serve as
▼ice-president of a Republican meeting in
that city a few days ago, and announced
that he wouldn’t vote for Harrison. He
doesn't believe in McKinleyiam.
The Republicans having discovered, in
Mr. George Ticknor Curtis, a man who is
willing to declare a protective tariff consti
tutional and to make argument in support
of the declaration, they proclaim him “the
greatest constitutional lawyer in America.
Ten days ago Senator Faulkner had made
twenty-six speeches during the present cam
paign, and then was billed for twenty-five
more, and the expectation is that if the
physical man can hold out he will delivers
few more to make the measure heaping full
and running over.

Mr. Blaine while a guest at the country
home of Hon. Whitelaw Reid last week re
sponded to a serenade of neighbors with a
short speech—his first and only one iu the
campaign. There was no trace in what he
said of tho fire and intellectual vigor of his
utterances of other days.
--—m mm m
At a Republican meeting here the other
day the speaker menuoneu in »ui-icwvu
the name* of Harrisou, Blaine and McKin
ley. The first two names were received
in silence by the colored men who compos
ed the Republican half of the audience;
the third was applauded. They lick the
hand that smites them.
The chairman of the State Democratic
Committee announces that Hon. A. E Ste
venson is to speak in this State on Oct. 29
and 31 and Nov. 1. It has not yet been
determined whether he will address meet
ings in any of the towns and cities or will
deliver a series of short speeches from his
special car on the railroad.
Hon. Benj. Butterworth, of Ohio, the
Great Republican High Tariff Joint Deba
ter. who is now expatiating on the beauties
of a tariff for protection, said in 1890: —
"The Manufacturers and the Trusts get the
Protection and the Profits of the tariff—the
Farmer gets the Husks and the Humbug.’’
What was true in 1890 is still true in 1892.
The Democratic party is not howling ca
lamity after the manner of the "People’s”
party. Neither does it agree with the Re
publican doctrine that the condition of the
people is so good that it cau't be improved.
The Democratic party is thankful for the
blessings bestowed by Providence and pro
poses such reforms in the laws of this coun
try that our people shall be able to enjoy
those blessings to the fullest extent.
A dispatch to the Wheeling Intclli'jtncer
says that at the recent Democratic meeting
at Berkeley Springs addressed by Hons.
Wat. L. Wilson and C. Wood Dailey, the
band played “God Save the Queen.” 'N ery
likely. The tune of “Clod Save the Queen”
is sung in this country to the patriotic
hymn, “My Country, ’tis of Thee,” aud is
known as "America." It’s a wonder the
critical correspondent didn’t find fault with
the addresses because they were made iu
good English.
Gen. Sickles, who now says he can't vote
the national Democratic ticket because Mr.
Cleveland, when President, vetoed pension
bills, made a speech in 1388 in which he
aaid that “had he been President he wouid
have vetoed every pension bill that Mr.
Cleveland vetoed, and that every right
minded man, sworn to discharge his duty
would have done likewise.” Since 1888 Mr.
Cleveland has had no opportunity to veto
pension bills, so that if General Sickles was
sincere in 1888 be must be insincere in 1802,
or rice versa. The General has “given him
self away.”

Col. Wm. A. MacCorkle made a short
address in the court-house Wednesday af
ternoon last. He was compelled to hurry
through iu order to fill an engagement to
speak at Martinsburg the same evening,
and confined his remarks almost eutirely to
the efforts of Republican politicians to col
onize negroes in West Virginia aud by their
votes to carry the State into the Republican
column. He earnestly appealed to the
Democrats of Jefferson county to roll up a
big majority for their ticket to offset the
imported colored vote. At the close of his
speech he was presented with a handsome
boquet by A. E. Kennedy, Esq., in behalf
of the ladies of Charles-Town and respond
ed appropriately.
Last Friday night, by invitation of the
Cleveland and Wilson Club, lion. Wm. R.
Alexander, of Winchester, spoke to a large
audience. He arraigned the Republican
party for its violation, through the tariff,
of the property rights of American citizens,
and its attempted violation, through the
Force bill, of their personal rights; and
showed out of the mouth of President Har
rison and from the Republican platform,
that the party has not relinquished the pur
pose of controlling elections by federal leg
islation. Mr. Alexander is a forcible and
impassioned speaker, and powerfully por
trayed the horrors that would follow the
enactment of the Force bill. He predicted
with dramatic eloquence the resistance, even
to arms, of the people to such an effort to
deprive them of their liberty.

Er-Sfcrflarj Bayard at Charles Toiru.
Hon. Thos. F. Bayard having accepted j
invitatious to preside at the great Demo- :
cratic meeting to-day at Island Park aud to
spend last night in this town and speak to !
the people, he was met at Harper’s terry ]
by Count) Committee Chairman Daniel and
the editor of this paper, and at Shenandoah
Junction by Judge Lucas, Col. Chew, Ma
jor McDonald, aud F. W. Brown and J. M.
Mason, Esqs , aud escorted to Charles Town
via N A W., where he was received by Col
Jno. Thos. Gibson (whose guest he is), Jo
seph Trapnell, Esq , and others. At eight
o'clock he entered the crowded court-room,
preceded by the band, and alter appropriate
introduction by Mr. Brown delivered the
greatest speech, perhaps, on political ques
tions that our people have ever been privi
leged to listen to. His theme was the false
principle of government on the side of
which Gov. McKinley aud Mr. Elkins had
invited West Virginians to put this State—
a principle leading away from the basis of
freedom and individual independence upon
which our forefathers had placed the gov
ernment and for which the war of the revo
lution had been (ought—a theory that would
reoder the Declaration of Independence
and the blood shed to establish it idle and
worthless. The danger of committing to
private hands the sovereign power of taxa
tion, and the evils already resulting from
doing so, could hardly have been presented
more impressively. How, the speaker asked,
under the theory of protection, should the
uecessary amount be assessed * What per
cent, should be required? Upon what the
rate of taxation be based ? Who was to de
cide ? The man who laid the taxes got the
profits. But might not “infant industries’’
be protected until firmly established? If
*o, when should the protection cease, and
who was to be the judge of the matter? It
was a question of private interest from first
to last. Protection was contrasted with the
true principle of taxatiou, uuder which no
more was exacted from any man than he
should justly contribute for the public good,
_.1 ... J... ...kl/tk »k (avnaeavsi IrMotv t Vl P
amount to be raised and how it was ex
peuded.
Since the close of the war we had seen in
this country the progressive movement of
the spirit and practice of protection, and in
no country were the inequalities of fortune so
apparent as in the United States. * *
The principle resulted, in 188S in the pur
chase of the presidency and Congress and
the McKinley bill was the registration of
the decree of those who had bought the
power of the government. They wrote it; j
—one of them said “We paid for the bill
aud therefore it is ours.” * * * Under
the low tariff of ’46 to '60 the various
branches of industry flourished. Industri
al harmony was the safety of a great peo
ple. The welfare of each member of tire
body politic was the welfare of all. There
were financial schemes and Farmers’ Alli
ance schemes for obtaining loans from the
government, etc. . due to discontent caused
by bestowal of favors on one class * * *
The Force bill was devised to rivet the
claims placed upou us.
Mr. Bayard in closing paid a splendid
tribute to Hon. W. L. Wilson.
Hon. John l'. Green, of Cleveland, Ohio,
a colored lawyer and State Senator, ad
dressed the men and women of his race at
the court house Moudav night, in behalf of
the Republican party. He is educated and
very intelligent and an excellent speaker,
and made a presentation of his case that
compared favorably with the efforts of the
white campaigners—skillful and plausi
ble. Like bis white brethren engaged iu
talking tariff from the same standpoint, he
“wriggled in aud wriggled out,” with an
agility that excited admiration as well as
amusement; aud, like them also, he said
some things that were not true. His nd
dress was free from incendiary utterances
aud contained little that was calculated to
awaken race animosity or to give offense to
white hearers a considerable number *t
whom were nresent and heartily enioved
his speech. If we had felt at liberty to in
terrupt, we might have proposed an amend
ment to his brief eulogy of old John Brown,
—just to keep in memory the fact that his
first victim at Harper’s Ferry was an in
dustri. us, inoffensive colored man. Mr.
Greon was challenged to meet Mr. M. B.
McGee, President of the Young Colored
Men’s National Tariff Reform League,
in joint discussion, but declined.

Letter From A'eic Fork.
An interesting letter—indeed, a graphic
description of the Columbian celebration in
New York is at hand just before printing
this paper. We are constrained by want of
time and spnce to forego the pleasure of
publishing the letter entire, and give only a
concluding paragraph or two:
*******
Tuesday evening I dropped into the store
of Mr. Charles Broadway Ronss, haviug
previously learned that a good view of the
fireworks which were to be displayed from
the bridge at uight could be had from the
roof of his magnificent structure. I found
that the great merchant had provided a re
past for hia 400 employes, in order that they
might remain and witness the gorgeous
spectacle. A small army of men and boys
were eatiug at four long tables, and Mr.
Rouss moved about among them laughing
and joking and urging them to enjoy them
selves in spirit. He was as young as the
smallest boy there, and certain it is that
none were happier than he.
No building in New York City was more
beautifully decorated than was the monster
edifice at 549 Broadway. The eleven-story
front was decorated with hundreds of United
States flags, and brilliantly illuminated with
electric light. The elegance of the decora
tion consisted in its simplicity.
Speaking of Mr. Rouss, what a demo
cratic individual he is. What a c ‘.rast
between him and hundreds of other men in
this great city of ours, who have not scored
one-half his success. There is uo assump
tion of pompous dignity about him.
As a general thing if you have occasion
to visit a merchant of any standing in New
York, you are stopped before you can get
anywhere near him by a three-dollar-a-week
otfice boy. The youth asks for your card.
After receiving it he scrutinizes it carefully,
looks you over from head to foot and then
subjects you to a cross-examination as to
your business with his employer. If your
i_i __i:
him he may condescend to take your card
in, but the chances are abont even that he
will say Mr. So and So is out, to save him
self a little trouble. If you should be so
| fortunate us to have your card taken in to
[ the gentleman you wish to see it is more
than likely that you will be left to your own
meditations for at least a half hour and per
I haps longer.
Not so when one calls on Mr. Rous9.—
When you enter the door a man station
ed there asks what you desire. You tell
him you want to see Mr. Rouss, and you
are at once directed to the floor above where
you find the merchant surrounded by a reg
iiuent of typewriters and bookkeepers. You
make known your business to him and if
you are deserving of attention you will get it.
And yet some people wonder why one
man fails and another succeeds. The net
spot cash system does not tell the whole
story. Dorse Beall.
Spoial difjMtcK to Baltimore Sun.
Parkersburg, Oct. 16.—Ex-Gov. J. B.
Jackson said to-day: “The Republicans
have been dead sure of carrying West Vir
ginia at every election in reccent years.—
They are no more certain this year than
they always are. The State is as surely
Democratic as it always was, aud much
more so than it was 1S88, when the steal
was going on and the Democrats were doing
nothing to meet it. That year large num
bers of negroes were brought over from the
old Stale to the mining regions along the
Norfolk and Western Railroad. It may be
true, and probably is, that the Republicans
will bring a great deal of money into the
State, but the effective use of it is greatly
impeded by the new ballot law. Great
ri«ks will have to be taken, and it is likely
they will spend their money and not get
the votes. The Republicans claim they
have brought enough negroes into the min
iug regions to carry the State, but their
names are not on the assessor's lists, and
not being there it will require the testimony
of two witnesses to establish their residence.
me uemocrats are iuuy auve to ine situa
tion. They are preparing lists of the ne
groes and comparing them with the names
on the mining pay-rolls, many of which
have beeu furnished. I have no doubt we
will make gains among the white people all
over the State, and especially among the
farmers. There is a general awakening
upon the tarifl question and men are be
ginning to see the folly of the MdKinley
bill. Here in Parkersburg tariff reform is
makiug converts. Ex-Senator Henry G.
Davis informed a friend of mine the other
day that he did not doubt the election of
William E. Wilson in the secoud district
by at least a thousand majority. I am Also
informed that one of the Republican can
didates ou the 3tate ticket admitted that
his party wa> not seriously contesting con
gressional elections in the -iecondand fourth
districts. 3ensible West Virginians con
cede that the Stale will go for Cleveland,
but some ot them hope to elect their candi
date for governor. In my judgment the
national and 3tate tickets will go along to
gether. Cleveland will not only carry West
Virginia, hut will be elected without a
doubt. The Republicans may be expecting
and plotting to carry the Legislature by
colonizing voters from strong Republican
counties, where they can be spared, into
Democratic counties, but the scheme is im
practicable. The sixty days’ residence in
the county and the fact that in the Demo
cratic counties, where the colonizing would
have to be done, there are Democratic offi
cials, is a sufficient protection.”

I/o»r to Vote.
Ou the ballots prepared for the next elec
tion there will bo four tickets, the Demo
cratic Ticket, the Republican Ticket, the
Piohibition Ticket, and the People’s Party
Ticket. They will appear with the names
of all the candidates thereon.
At each voting precinct there will be
booths in the election room or building, and
a voter desiring to cast his ballot will enter
the election room or building, which will
be divided in not less than two nor more
than five booths or compartments, and give
his name and residence to one of the clerks,
who will deliver to him one ballot. The
voter will then retire alone into one of the
booths and prepare his ballot.
The voter will first decide which ballot he
will vote—the Democratic or Republican,
etc.; and he will deface all the ballots on
the sheet, except the one he desires to vote,
by drawing a line, with pen and ink, from
the top to the bottom of all the ballots ex
cept the one he desires to vote.
If the voter wishes to scratch the ballot
he has decided to vote, he will erase the
name of the candidate he does not wish to
vote for, and write immediately under it
the name of the candidate he does wish to
vote for.
But, remember, all tho names you wish to
vote for must be on the one ballot; they
cannot be scattered among all the ballots.
The names you wish to vote for must be
written on one ballot.
Now, having thus prepared this ballot
the voter will so fold it that the face of it
cannot be seen, and so that the names of
the poll clerks writtefl on the back of the
ballot can be seen, and will hand it to one
ot the commissioners of elections.
If tho voter cannot read nor write, or is
physically disabled to prepare his ballot,
he will so declare to the poll clerks, who
will, in the presence of each other, prepare
the ballot just as the voter wants it. The
poll clerks dare not tell how any voter vo
ted. It the voter wtsues miormauon now
to prepare his ballot, he shonld apply to
the poll clerks.
If the voter spoils a ballot he must re
turn it to the poll clerks and may get an
other. He must not destroy it.
A voter cannot remain in a booth longer
than five minutes.
While in the election room the voter
must talk to no one but the clerks or com
missioners of election.
If the voter's name has not been listed
by the Assessor, and he is challenged for
that reason, he must make the affidavit re
quired in section 49 of the New Election
Law. The two persons he is required to
name in his affidavit do not have to be
present
The Truth About It.
From the Martinsburg Statesman.
Mr .Pitzer, in hie speech, charged Mr.
Wilson with having prevented the passage
or being responsible for a delay of three
years in the bill providing for a public
building at ^Iartinsburg.—Shepherilstotcn
Register..
There must be some mistake in the above,
as it is so wide of the truth and so unfair
that we can’t think Mr. Pitzer would have
wilfully made the inis-statement.
The bill for holding a U. S. court at Mar
tiusburg passed the Senate April 5th, 1888.
It passed the House, on motion of Mr. Wil
son, by unanimous consent, May 15, 1888.
The public building bill parsed the Senate
Feb. 20, 1890, and, on motion of Mr. Wil
son, was, by unanimous consent, passed
through the House May 27, 1890. Instead
of throe years delay in passing the public
building bill, but two years of time were
consumed under the able and efficient man
agement of Senator Faulkner and Congress
man Wilson in getting both the court estab
lished here and an appropriation made for
the erection of a building. Since the pas
sage of the public building bill two and a
half years have passed, and this Republi
can administration, with no opposition or
difficulties in their way, have so delayed
matters that the foundation is not comple
ted. We would be ashamed of ourselves,
however, if we tried to make political capi
tal out of such lapse of time. We ask,
however, that our Republican friends com
pare the difficulties before our representa
tives with those confronting the administra
tion and note the time taken by each, and
wo are sure, ns honest men, they will con
gratulate Senator Faulkner and Wm. L.
Wilson upon their influence and skill in
the most unwieldy legislative body in the
world.
Note also that both passed the House by
unanimous consent, a privilege accorded
few members of Congress and then only at
rare intervals. Had Mr. Wilson been a new
and inexperienced man who could not have
had sufficient influence with his associates
to have these bills taken up out of their
regular order, neither one of them would
have ever been passed. When the last one
was passed, objection was made by Cannon,
of Illinois, which he only withdrew after a
personal request from Mr. Wilson and out
of regard to his standing in Congress. But
the objection was renewed by Cannon when
the next man, a Republican, (Mr. Cogswell,
of Massachusetts,) asked for the same priv
ilege, and no more public building bills
passed the 51st Congress.
If we had spaco we would relate for Mr.
Pitzer's benefit the fable of the parrot;
and we commend to him that rule of good
politics to look out for his own interests in
this campaign and not try to carry the
whole Republican ticket on his shoulders.
Joseph B. Davis, a prominent resident of
Henrico county, Virginia, died Sunday.—
He wa* an ex-member of the Legislature
and a nephew of ex-United States Senator
Davis, of this Stale.
Fully 4,000 people attended the Demo
cratic mass-meeting and barbecue at Staun
ton Saturday. Hou. W. C. P. Breckin
ridge, of Kentucky, was the principal
speaker.
Rev. W. J. Young, of Randolph Macon
College, has declined the presidency of the
Wesleyan Female Institute at Staunton, to
which he was recently elected.
The announcement of T. A. Milton as a
candidate for the legislature is very agree
able to his many friends who desire to send
a man who is especially interested and
thoroughly acquainted with the interests
and needs of said county. Mr. Milton has
been an energetic resident and worker for
Garfield county from our first organization
to the present time, and, in fact, since the
first move in this settlement for the organi
zation of said county. Everyone realizes
the importance of having our interests pre
sented and pushed for a proper hearing and
recognition in our legislature, especially
for our public welfare, as we have borne
many denials and privations detrimental to
the prosperity of the faithful citizens whose
interests are first, last and always for this
county.
The time is at hand when hard work is
to be done to secure the public beuefit and
recognitions that have beeu accorded to
other counties should be granted appor
tionately to Garfield county.
We realize that Mr. Milton is qualified,
willing and anxious to serve us faithfully
for our general needs and good, and we
trust that he will receive the hearty endorse
ment of the citizens and voters of this coun
ty on November 8th, and that they will em
power him by their vote to go as a servant
of the people to work faithfully for Gar
field county’s interests.
Proof of the above has beeu made mani
fest by his untiring efforts during his term
of office as county attorney.—Ravenna (Kan
sat) Chieftain.

THE SOUVENIR SPOON.
“The Favorite.”
I have on hand the old St. George Clia|«l
Souvenir Spoon.
The ruins of old St. George Chapel are li
miles from CharlesTown and an object of in
terest. The Chapel is supposed to have been
erected as early as 1750— probably as late t>
17(30. It is mentioned in Henning's Statute*
et Large as one of the Chapels more costly
than many others. The site, which is on the
lands of Col. H. B. Davenport, is supposed to
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. Itisiup
posed to have been more elegant, hence more
costly, than others, because it was located near
where many wealthy Cburch-of-England peo
ple lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magnificence
of their houses of worship. At any rate, the
present ruin was once grand in its time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed to have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet
lead ; the window and door frames of cedar
wood ; the Hoor in tiling; the |*ews and pul
pit in oak— elaborately carved. The soil,
grey old walls in summer time are ivy-hung
bnt the Chapel, as pictured in the bowl of tb*
spoon, is a winter scene—the venerable pile
surrounded by lealless trees and the graves of
the olden-time covered with the “beautiful
snow." For sale by.
