It Is claimed l?y tin* Republicans that HO per c?*nt of this element adhere to sound money, and Representative Babcoclc, of the congressional committer, Is confident that the benefit of its vote will accrno to the Republican ticket. According to a representative of one of Ihe largest wholesale bouses .'in America, a tlrm employing hundreds of traveling sales men, this belief Is borne out This gen tleman was at headquarters here to day, and In discussing the subject with the leaders, said: ' "I find In the course of my travels that the traveling men ai?v almost a unit for sound money. In these times politics Is talked about as much, If not more, than Imslness. Th?? traveling men are advocates of sound currency, not altogether because they know that to preach this doctrine would be ac ceptable to their employers, but be cause their own experience, their prac tical knowledge of business affalrs.tbelr .acquaintance with the most minute details of tlw commerce and manufac tures of the country convince theril that the best Interests of the United States will not be served by election of the Bryan ticket." "It Is true, no doubt, thdt the groat commercial firms having ramifications In every state and section are wielding their influence In behalf of sound mo ney. The traveling men as a body can exert a potent influence In business circles. They are the direct link of communication between urban and' suburban Interests. They do more to disseminate Ideas, opinions, and infor mation than any other power does ex cept the press. They might be called inter-state carriers of news. As a rule their opinions and utterances carry weight and are received with consid eration. My belief is that* the enlist ment of the sympathies and active ef forts of the commercial travelers of the United States In behalf of sound money, as is now the case, will make good preacliers. and when they es pouse a cause the Interests which they wish' to advance they know how to reach the people and they do It most effectively. They are for Major Mc Klnley and they will help his cause greatly." COKE WORXEBS FOB M'KINLEY. They Arc Altnoftt a L'nlt for 1'rotectlon nuil Sound Money. DUNBAR, Pa., Sept. 7.?Perhaps there is no section of the country where politi cal feeling Is so high as It la at present in the Connellsvllle coke region. The enthusiasm among the miners and coke workers for the success of the Republi can ticket Is unprecedented. A careful canvass by a correspondent during the past week shows that the coke region is thoroughly organized by the Republi cans and there is scarcely a coke (own of any size that has not a flourishing McKlnley and Hobart club. Dunbar township, which Is the largest in the staite and oontaJna the largest coke works in the Connellsvllle region, was formerly one of the old reliable Demo cratic strongholds of the county. At the last election It went for the Republi can -ticket by a few votes majority, but Judging from the sentiment among the worklngmen at this time the majority for 'William McKinley will l>e several hundred. A Democrat In the Lelaenrlng district said the other day: "I am really ashamed of the way I have been talking In favor of this free silver movement. I was among the many Who are after every nevv remedy that presents itself In the political world and I sincerely thought that free silver would be the panacea for every evil. This .was before I studied the question for myself, but I am now so thoroughly convinced of my error that I will do all In my power during the remainder of the campaign for the success of the Re publican ticket." The declaration of Michael Barrett, the ex-labor leader, who has declared him self for free sliver, "I led the working men in a big coke strike find I will lead them again," has been the means of turning many of the worklngmen of this section against Bryan. The working men are still mindful of the disastrous coke strike, led by Barrett and Davis In .'94, and his word goes for naught among this class. Perhaps the best organized section is .that composed .of the Frlck works. of*Lelsonrlng Nos. 1, 'J and .1. Trotter and Junlnata. This district has 1.000 men In McKlnley clubs. The*Ior rell district of the Cambria Iron Com pany has a flourishing club of 200 mem bers. The whole section south of Unlontown and between Dunbar add Unlontown has aggressive and tlouriai lng Republican organizations.

With one day's advertising and the strongest kind of opposition, the Atkin son meeting oti the Island wn.i attended by a great crowd, numbering nearly 1.200 IH-ople, and the *nthuslustlc cheers and applause which greeted every point made by the next governor, showed that th?r audience wus In full sympathy with all H.? raid. The weather was cool, but that (lid not keep tie? ladle* and geutlemen front Htandlng front the time the meeting be gan until it ended, It wo* a great meet ing and the arguments set forth so elo quently by Governor Atkinson were eo ( clear that a Democrat present stated af i ter the meeting, that he didn't see how ' any person could support the fr*?e silver platform after It had been so thoroughly and successfully dlss?*cted. | One feature of the meeting was the first appearance of the Klkins Cadets, in 1 th*lr new uniforms, and the hit they I made as they marched up Market street behind their excellent drum and bugle corps, was Immense. They marched like old veterans and in their neat and handsome uniforms were simply irrc slstable. They in*>t at the Odd Fellows hall at 7 o'clock and promptly at half pn.?t 7. Captain W. H. Travis gave the command "forward march," and the first turnout of th** nobby organization was begun. They marched down Chap lin** t^> Fourteenth, thence to Market and to the McLure House, where the si leaker and th* committee were wait Ing. Mr. Arklnson and the committee walked at the head of the cohimn and the next governor was greeted with ap plause all along the line to the It-land. The bugle corps and the drum corps headed by their cute little drum major. Willie Campbell, who was fitted out In gaudv attire befitting his station, made a most favorabl- Impression not only for their new uniform*, but for the good music they made. This portion of the cadets premises to brvome famous be fore the campaign is over. Tlir Meeting# Arriving on the Island the ?^cort made its way down Virginia to Broad way and thence to the stand which had been erected near the Thomson M. E. church. As soon as the crowd became quiet, Councilman W. T. McKelvey call ed the meeting to order and introduced Mr. G. W. Kennedy as chairman. Mr. Kennedv In a few brief remarks intro duced Hon. r*. W. Atkinson, the next p ernor of West Virginia and the cheer* that greeted this remark were loud and hCMr!* Atkinson began by saying he would not keep the crowd out in tho open air long and before he could pro ceed farther, he wanted to introduce to the people of the Island his staff, as he termed the Elklns Cadets, he desired to thank the members of the nobby or ganization for the "honor they had done him by escorting him to the meeting. He had hardly finished giving the Ca dets a Rood send off. when a drum corps was heard coming up the street, nnd looking down that way the people were surprised to see another uniform organization coming. It proved to bn the Atkinson club, of the Eighth and the next governor told the nudl ence not to move "tor here comes tny boys from the Eighth ward." and when they got opposite the stand, they were greeted with prolonged Cheers. Mr. Atkinson then began his speech and at on re began tearing the Popo cratlc platform to pieces and he dirt it effectively. He told his audience that, he had been through twenty counties I in the state and that he came back I home fully satisfied that ri*ht would prevail on the third day of November. I and that sound money ami protection would receive such a majority that I free silver would never more be heard i of. 1 RtoUm l'ronil?r?. j He called attention to the many pro mises made by the Democratic part> In ' 1892. How they told the people that if Cleveland was elected wages would be Increased and there would be cheaper prices for everything. Cleveland was elected and since that time the people all over the nation have discovered that the Democratic campaign orators had fooled them and they are wise enough not to be fooled again. They come be fore the voters now with a new cry, . knowing It would be useless to again try to fool them on the free trade Is sue. but now1 they come up serenely with free and unlimited coinage of sil ver at the ratio of 16 to 1. When first they sprung it on the people, it took like wild lite and the people who hart been knocked out of work after the passage of the Wilson bill, took up with It as the remedy for their ills, but as time went on and sober sense and sound Judgment came hack to them, they discovered the fallacy of the doc trine and now they are arranged against unlimited coinage and free trade, and have come on protections 8,1The old leaders, nnd the respectable element of the old party have repudi ated the free silver policy and have come out for honest money, hven iu lam D. Wilson, who was two years ago, their god and of whom they used to talk and sing In words of highest praise, has turned against them of, those who have but lately been con verted to this doctrine. Mr. Atkinson said their's was a death bed conver sion and wouldn't do. The people are on to the ehange*and what It was made for, and even salt peter, burnt brandy or even tho Keeley cure could not save the popocratlc party now. Principle* Not Men. The speaker then proceeded to speak of his opponent, Mr. Watts in the highest terms. He said, however, it was not men., but principle that count ed in this campaign. It made little dif ference to the people of the state whether he or Mr. Watts was gover nor as far as, personality went, but. there was an issue at stake and it was for the people to decide between tho two. . , ' lie then spoke of the alleged crime of '7", of which we hear so much these days, and made It clear to the audlenca that the only crime committed was that of '03, when the Democratic Con gress-and Cleveland demonetized la bor. He told of the difference between our dollar and the Mexican dollar and took occasion to answer an editorial in the .Register, which stated as the reason Mexlcnn dollars were only worth fifty-three cents In this country
