Protectionists, do your duty to-day,
and West Virginia will be the lirst State
to break loo.su from the Solid South.
The reports from tlie counties in detail
justify this prediction. Uitest advices
from the remotest counties tell of breaks
along the whole Democratic line. Men

and it is hardly possible that
fraud inside the polls can do what
money \m (ailed to do outside. The
good news includes the State for Harrison
and for God'; the Legislature and
probably the gain .of two Congressmen.
Atkinson will come to Ohio county
with so large a majority that it cannot
be overcome. But the prospect is that
Atkinson will carry Ohio county by ae
large a majority as Scott received two
years ago when ho defeated Pendleton
I in this county for the State Senate by
ninety-eight votes. Protectionists art
' all in line for Atkinson and working tc
ran up his majority to the highest notch,
At least three on the Ohio county Legislative
ticket, and possibly the whole
ticket will be elected.
The appointment of United Statu
Deputy Marshals for tho lirst time ii
the history of the Stato, and this in j
community where elections have alwayi
lnvn peaceably conducted, is not only i
wanton expenditure of the public money
but it is an outrage on the people. Whi
are these men appointed, unless it bo tc

servative and independent voters put is
the Democratic majority in this county tin
. at 350, while the more sanguine Demo- mi

the Democratic majority was 570 in the up
Gubernatorial and 458 in the Presiden- a l
tial election. The total vote will bo an
about 1,000 greater than in 1881, owing bo

less than 500 majority in Tyler. Our as

Capt, Jones was equally coniMent of ^
Republican success. He said the lie- 0,
. publican procession on Saturday was a
t magnificent affair, and was two hours w
r longer in passing a given point than the Si
' Democratic parade held that same night. C
The Democratic majority in New York vi
1 City would be greatly reduced and the oi
i Republicans would come to Harlem C
t bridge with at least So,000 majority. In
a There were at least 50,000 Republicans si
(r in line in the parade on Saturday. The (
Americus Club, of Pittsburgh,"looked ti
a elegant, marching with precision and d<
i was the leading feature of the procession, ui

- curred in these last sentiments. They p
, said the Americus boys were admired n
everywhere "along the line.
Charles C. Mattison, of Terra Haute, R

I night. He said his State will give at gi
leant20,000Republican majority. When l
asked why, he said: ti

Chicago, November 5.?An Indianpolis
special to the Tribune Rays:- Last
iglit the Democrats of Indianapolis bonne
stampeded. They threw overoard
everything but their judicial
clcet, for which they began a house to
ouso canvass, offering to trade any and
/ory thing fur control of tho Courts.
This action was certainly not taken
itliout tho advice and consent of the
uuu Kuuiiuiuvu. a vuic jur uruvcr
leveland is not worth sus much as a
jto for Tom Sullivan, the Circuit Judge,
r for u member of the Hoard of County
oinmissionere. Hut, anyhow, Clevend
lias not stood high in this State
nee lut put his foot on the neck of
overnor Gray at the St. Louis convenon.
Trading such as prevails hero is
mbtless going on all over the State. In
lany counties, jus is the case here, Deui- ratic
officials have been conducting
ublic affairs in such way that the openig
of the hooks is feared.
The indications are that the Indiana
epublieans, who have been offensive
> tlio Democracy since 1801, are to be
ven a dose of the Southern method
uesday. Dr. Cairns, a prominent policial!
of Greenwood, was arrested last
veiling and brought here by a Deputy
fnited States Marshal, the alleged
[largo against him being an attempt to
ribo a voter. The period before the
lection' at which the arrest is made
iows clearly that its purpose is intimintion.
Republicans are to be bullied
lit of their rights, if they submit to it,
ist as they used to be cheated out of
lem before the conviction of Bernamer
and Cop. It was learned hero
ist night that a series of arrests iseonmiplated
for to-day at points throughut
the State.
Iiussell Harrison says, regarding a
ory printed in a Chicago paper to the

Several days ago, a Methodist minis- t<
ter by the name of John Cook, who V
resides in Wetzel county, wrote lion. S
G. W. Atkinson from New Martinsville al
that, although a Democrat, ho was NV
warmly supporting him, aud he had in- jj
currcd an expense of about $10 in elec- ft
tioning for him. Mr. Atkinsoii wrote a
hiiu a kind letter of thanks, and told *c
him that he enclosed his personal check ~
for $5, (having personally handed hiiu a,
So some time before.) Mr. Atkiuson di
distinctly stated in his letter to Mr. jj
Cook that he desired no one to do any- U1
thing for him in any shape or form, that ft
was not strictly square and honorable, tl
This statement wili be found in the let- j-,(
ter enclosing the So to the Rev. Mr. tj
Cook. ei
At New Martinsville, Mr. Cook asked w
a Democrat to cash the$5 check for him;
and in a few minutes the news was all ?
over Now Martinsville that Atkinson tl
had sent a check for $500 to a Wetzel p
county Democrat, to buy the county for "
himself and the Republican ticket. t|
Whereupon a messenger was sent after u
Mr. Cook, away back in the interior of f<
the county, and another one wasdis- j!
patched to Democratic headquarters at jj
WJieelimr: and by noon of yesterday, b
the news was spread all over Wheeling s
that Mr. Atkinson had attempted to buy JJ
a Democratic voter iu Wetzel county e
with $5, notwithstanding the fact that 1
the party whom it was claimed he was lJ
trying to purchase had told a number of
men, weeks ago, that he was honestly B
supporting Sir. Atkinson. Such sickly, h
nonsensical movements on the part of
Mr. Pendleton's managers show how J
desperate they are, and how low they tt
will stoop to attempt to stop the tide of
public sentiment that is coming in <1
against them from every portion of the Jj
district. The tide, however, is not going 0
to stop. Mr. Atkinson will succeed Gen. y
Goff in the Congress of the United States f1
as the representative of a Protective V
Tariff in the First district of West Vir- j.
gin in. 11
details ok the cask. h
Tho Intelligence^ desiring the dc- j
tails more fully, called on Mr. Atkinson i,
in regard to this Democratic job of per- tl
secution, and ho produced a letter from V
Mr. Cook, in which ho (Cook) stated J,1
that he had been at work for him and e
General Uofl', and that he had incurred
considerable expense, and asked Mr. K
Atkinson to remit him $10 to pay the J
same. Instead of sending him that ^
amount he enclosed $5, with a postscript V
to his short letter stating that ho wanted Jf
nothing done for himself or General ^
Goff that was not strictly proper. Mr.
Atkinson also informed the Intblliobn- a
ceii that ho called at the Register ofllce ^
yesterday afternoon and told Mr. Taney JJ
that he must print his entire letter, j,
postscript and all, il he printed any of it. *
It in expected, however, that the esteem- b
od Register will not do anything of the ?
kind. h
how they went at it. \\
Mr. G. W. Shepherd, a citizen of Wetzel
county, called at the Intelligences
otHcc lust night, anil stated that on Sun- j
dav James Newman and Henry Hart
went to Little Fishing Creek, where
Cook lives, and got him to make an affidavit
that Mr. Atkinson had sent him o
$5 for the purchase of his vote. It seems n
that this was not satisfactory to the y
schemers, so they sent hack to Fishing ?
Creek on Monday and had Cook come |j
in to New Martinsvillo and make a C;
second affidavit, which is said to be a tu
little stronger limn the lint ode, and in
some measure implicates General Goff.
Mr. Shepherd says these affidavits were
all carried to the Regitier ofBco and will
appear in this morning's issue. It was c
common talk by "Sep" Hall, Klihu *>
Morgan, and other Democratic bosses in jj
! New Martinsville tliat tho intention of
, the schemers is to have Mr. Atkinson
arrested in Wheeling last night on tho l
charge of bribery, in that ho sent Cool
the $3 to buy his vote.
Mr. Shepherd also states that Cool
had frequently told hiui that he (Cook
was earnestly supporting Mr. Atkinsoi
and General Goll*, and that he had tolc
others the same thing. After making
the affidavit on Monday, Mr. Cook lefl
New Martinsville, and stated to govern
men there that he was honestly iu tavoi
oi both Atkinson and Goff, and that he
meant to support them at the polls on
Tuesday.
It was currently rumored on the
streets last night that Pendleton's friend*
intended to have Mr.. Atkinson arrested
for the campaign capital they might
make out of it, but they did not dare to
go that length for fear of the recoil.
Tub issue is Protection against Free
Trade. Which side are you on?
Democratic Convict Labor.
The Democratic managers are inuch
exercised over the fact that eight years
,igo Mr. Augustus Pollack contracted
for penitentiary labor for cigar making.
1'hey do not say since that time the
Democratic party has let the same labor
:or the same work, and that at this very
moment convicts at the Penitentiary are
jmployed at labor which comes into direct
competition with the free labor of
Wheeling workmen.
The system is theirs. They maintain
t and are responsible for it. If the Denocracy
of West Virginia are opposed to
.onvict labor, why have they not abolshed
it? It is late in the day for the
democrats of West Virginia to assault a
nan who eight years ago discontinued
he employment of labor under a system
rhicli the Democratic party continues,
lotwithstauding the power to abandon
t at any time they see lit.
The workingmen of Wheeling, who
jay be supposed to understand their
wn interests, are the warmest friends
Ir. Pollack lias. This sufficiently anwers
the Democratic criticism.
Are you for American labor or for forign
labor? Answer with your vote.

)rchlight procession and Henry S.
talker. Both invaded the town last
uturday night, and both attracted the
ttention of the curiosity hunters. UctB
ere freely offered that Barium would
ut the two together and build an annex
) the "greatest show on earth," to afird
theni proper accommodation. Such
mass of disorganized and ill-trained
irecs was never before seen in the town
-nor in any other. The pro>ssion
staggered and strayed away
nd was lost in the murky
nrkness that overhung Coal run on the
tie side and the Slough of Despond on
ie other. The curiosity hunter had
inple time to count the number in line,
>r owing to the liberal supply of "eniusias?u"
and the lack of ability to
jmuiand order, it required about two
ours and a half to pass a gate-post; but
icre were 281 in procession?ascertaini
by actual count. Some Republicans
ere in line, too, impelled thereto
trough a desire to determine whether
r not "variety in the spice of life." It was
ot their purpose to show to the world
lieir sympathy with 0rover aud his
inufore crew; not at all. "They ain't
uilt that way."
But the most entertaining feature of
lie demonstration was of the spectaclar
order?and Judge Fleming's per)rniance.
It was "grand, gloomy and
eculiar," in all its details?excepting
lie spectacular display and Judge Flemng's
performance. The J udge made a
inef speech, in which lie seemed to peronatc
most dearly the crier at the door
f the side-show, lie extolled the virues
of the "living curiosity" on free
xhibition at the rink. That meant
ienry S.Walker,whose acrobatic feats in
olitics have never been surpassed?seloni
equalled. The Judge said that
Ienry would entertain the people more
uccessfully and more ably than could
e, and advised them to go and hear
im. Some of them accepted the inviition,
as it was a "free show," but
there were satisfied with what they had
Iready received, and staid away.
The decorations at Democratic headuarters
were intended to bo unique,
nd the transparencies were butlt after
lie same pattern. It may be said the
ost was in excess of the profits. The
ells on the streets were a strange eomjingling
of blasphemy and political rot,
a ters pursed with shouts for Jell' Duvis.
t was a sorry spectacle?one that (lislisted
the populace, and it is doubtful
f the man who put it up can be peruaded
to own it.
The only reference to tho tariff made by
udge Fleming in his brief remarks was a
itt?*r attack upon "the manufacturers of
lie North," but why lie specitied tlie loulity
is not clear. \ve know the Judge is
:i favor of the Mills bill; but most advoatesof
that measure protest against referneo
to its sectional features.
Sunday morning the eye of the churchoer
met a strange sight at Democratic
cadquarters. It was a great big sign,

Geo. C. Sturgiss were present and made
eloquent speeches. Although the meeting
had been advertised only three days,
it wns a magnificent turnout and u most
orderly crowd.
A delegation of 200 of the solid Republicans
of Knottsvilie district came
in on horseback, headed by tho Knottsvilie
brass band. The Grafton band and
drum corps were also out and furnished
' some excellent music. Delegations were
i here also from Independence, Preston
county, Thornton, Tyrconnell, Flemington,
Webster and other sections of this
county. The speaking was from a platform
in front ot the Eagle office, and the
square was crowded with a vast audienre.
General Goff was introduced by Chairman
Graintn and received a perfect
ovation. His speech lasted from one
o'clock until about half-past two, when
lie was compelled to close in order to
take tho train for Piedmont, where he
speaks to-night. He made some telline
noints in his ariruincnt on tli? tariff
question, which were loudly applauded.
Au unprecedented scene occurred nt
the close of his speed), hundreds of
the audience pressing forward to grasp
the hand of tho next Governor and
fairly climbing over each other's shoulders.
Mr. Sturgies was then introducoil, and
entertained the crowd for over an hour
in a masterly speech. Taken in all, this
has been a lield day for the Republicans
of Taylor county, and to-morrow's setting

the expense of tho National and in somo
iustauees tho State tickeL It is whispered
around to>night that each
Democratic faction would ho supplied
nt the polls with Republican electoral
ballots. That these electoral ballots
would he bunched with tho Democratic
State and faction city tickets, and that
the district managers had received word
to trade a Democratic vote,for a llepublican
electoral ticket wherever a Republican
vote could be secured for one of the
factions' city ticket. Tho Democratic
nmuugers not wind of this scheme early
this evening and have -been doin^ everything
to prevent its beiug carried out.
So far their efforts have been without
avail. Tho loaders of the different factions
openly state that the election of their
county ticket is of greater importance
to them than tho election of a dozen
National tickets. This ugly fooling bus
been brought about tho orders said to
have eminated from Grover Cleveland.
The Government employes hero stand
by Tammany Hall and when the county
Democrats who nominated Cleveland at
Chicago heard of this they adopted tho
only possible scheme to save their orga
liizuuon irorn extinction. as mo evidence
in the possession of the county
Democrats as to
CLEVELA.VD'8 advice
is said to bo very authentic, they
decline to mako any change in their
programme, or rather state that there is
no such programme. If any monkeying
is going to be done, it will bo by the
Tammany men. There was a private
consultation of the members of tho National
Committee early to-day and a
committee was appointed to see what
could be done to save the slaughter of
the National tickfet. This Committee
has been at work all evening
and the only result reached,
or the only satiBiaction received
has been in about the words: "We aro
all right. It's the other fellows' doings."
Nevertheless there is a preat deal uneasiness
in Democratic circles to-night.
Where hope existed before it seems to
be now acknowledged that tho ticket
will he badly beaten in this State.
Even bets have been made in a quiet
way that 31,000 will be the Democratic
plurality over tho Republicans in the
city of" New York, and that Kings
county won't give
OVEIl ELEVEN* THOUSAND
for tho Democratic electoral ticket.
Should this be the result it would mean
the carrying of the State by tho Republicans.
It is confidently nrpfllnfml flmf
their ticket will cowe to the Harlem
river with between 50,000 and (10,000
plurality, which will give the Kcnublicun
ticket a plurality of between fifteen
and ciglitcen thousand in this State.
There wasagreatdeal of betting in Wall
street to-day, and one wager of ten thou- 4
wind dollars even was made and covered
that Harrison would be elected, c. 11.

St. Louis, Nov. 5.?The campaign in
St. Louis eloscd to-night with a big
demonstration by the Democracy. Saturday
night the Republicans excelled all
their previous efforts during the campaign
with a street narado and addresses
by State and citv candidutoft.
Democrats did likewise.
Members of the Republican State Committee
and leading Republicans assert
positively that R. E. Kimball will be
elected Governor by a safe plurality,
while the Democrats make counter
claims for Dr. Francis, their nominee.
All admit that the contest
will be close and exciting in
the city especially. The Republicans
make similar claims that their nonince,
R. E. Kimball, will bo the next Governor
of Missouri to the ones advanced by
the Democrats that Gen. Palmer, the
Democratic nominee, will be elected
Governor of Illinois, and as Missouri is
as pronouncedly Democratic as Illinois
is Republican much interest centres in
tho outcome of these predictions.
