Ttie Legislature'
It is Republican on Joint
Ballot by a Safe Majority.
Advices received Indicate clear
ly the election of Republican
Senators in ten out of thirteen
Senatorial districts, namely, the
First, Second, Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh. Ninth,
Tenth and Eleventh. There are
13 hold-overs of which only three
are Republicans. This will give
the Democrats 13 and the Repub
licans 13.
Of the 65 members of the
House of Delegates to be elected
the Republicans have elected be
tween forty and fifty.. At any
rate they will have from 25 to
27 majority in the House. It is a
Waterloo for the Democracy.
On joint ballot the Legislature
is safely Republican apd a Re

BETTER TIMES.
VERY indi
cation points to
a Repu blican
majority in
both branches
ot the National
Congress. The
wave of pro
t e c t i on has
swept the coun
try and all that
prevents a full restoration ot our
former prosperity is the fact
that Mr. Cleveland still holds his
old place. This much, however,
is assured?the war on Ameri
can industries must cease.
Confidence will be restored and
times will get better. ' It is one
of those victories that will start
the mills and open avenues for
capital that has been idle so
many months. Do not fail to
notice the effect of this victory
on busiuess. The Democrats
will claim that it is Cleveland
still guiding "Ship of State," but
the people win not be deceived
by such stuff.
Harrison county gave Dove
ner for Congress 2.767 ; Reed for
Senator 2,775. The frantic efforts
of the Democrats to reduce
Reed's vdte* by publishing silly
affidavits and attempting to buy
Popnlists, availed them nothing.
The vote speaks for itself.

Preston is Republican by over
2,000. McDowell is Republican
by 1.450. Fayette is Republican
by over 1,400. Marion is Repub

three hundred. The Republicans
may have tweDty-seven majority

Thanksgiving.
The President has appointed
November 29th as Thanksgiving
day saying in that proclamation:
"On that day let our ordinary
work and business be suspended
and let us meet in our accustom
ed places of worship and give
thanks to Almighty God for our
preservation as a nation, for onr
immunity from disease and pesti
lence, for the harvests that have
rewarded our husbandry, for a
renewal of national prosperity
and for every advance in virtue
and intelligence that has marked
our growth as a people."
We believe the victory of this
present week is the beginning of
the renewal of prosperity.
ihe voters of Harrison county
have spoken without fear or
favor, and hurled back with de
fiance the attack made upon their
thriving industries by the Demo
cratic delegation now misrepre
senting our State in Congress.
As long as our hills are filled
with coal and our mountain tops
and valleys covered with sheep,
they have jjo use for Novia
Scotia coal and South American
wool, nor those who represent?
alien interests, our home indus
tries and home labor. William
London Wilson can now arise
and explain to his Democratic
friends over the water, "how it
happened."
Those same newspapers that
published lies and affidavits iast
week will publish a lot of slush
about Republicans this week. It
all comes from the same con
taminated source. Nobody be
lieves a word of it
TV-e Tribune, supposed to be a
I temocratic paper published in I
a secluded building on Main
street, was used most effectually
during the campaign by the Re
publican committee. It spoke in
no uncertain terms in our favor
To our friends who have made
inquiry at this office to know if
it was not issued by the Republi
can committee as a campaign
document, we Jan truthfully
was not. Those interested

sion. Boys, we thank you:
If our friends, the Ntws. will
continue to advocate free coal,
free wool and free lumber and
taxed sugar until 1896, Harrison
county will increase her major
ity from 706 to 2,500.
When ever you corral a set of
rascals and beat them at their
own game they cry ''stop thief."
Never m the history of our coun
ty have the Democrats resorted
so openly to the "speak easies"
to further cause. The evidence
of the vile concoction could be
seen on the streets for days be
fore the election. The result of
the disgraceful act can be seen
by the large Republican gains.
This community will not uphold
such proceedings.
Every tanner who felt that a
great injustice had been done by
placing his wool on the free list
xvbile corporations were protect
ed, now wears a broad smile. It
is a genuine whole-souled Re
publican langh and it does us a
lot of good to see the old fellows
so happy. Tuey come to town,
meet old acquaintances <ind in
their delight hug one another
and dance around like boys.
They figured and figured on the whole
lot
And the more they figured the bigger
the majorities got.
They figured on Dovener until be was
all right,
Then they figured on Johnny Howard,
nntl they figured him out of sight.
In the six Mew England States
there is apparently only one
Democrat elected to Congress?
Fitzgerald, of Boston. New
York has five and Pennsylvania
two, a total of eight Democrats
out of 100 members.
Cleveland made love to "Queen
Lii," hauled down the American
flag and sent his embassador to
England and bffered the Lords
and the nabobs the markets of
the country which the old soldiers
fought to defend. The American
people have now repudiated his
disgraceful act and demand that
'old glory" be hoisted again to
the topmost mast, that the home
markets remina for our own
people, and that the battles
fought by the veterans be an in
spiration for us.

Two years
ago when
there was a Democratic land
slide, she incresed her Republi
can majority over 100 and since
that time her "hosts triumphant"
have steadily pushed onward un
til this year 1894, when across
her escutcheon must be engraved
the crowning climax of a battle
royal. Harrison county has a
great future. She stands at the
head of the trtily grand counties
of the State. Under a systefn
of protection she is destined to
become one of the wealthiest and
most prosperous counties in the
Union. Her vote on last Tues
day shows *hat her people real
ized the urgent need of the hour
and cast their votes in favor of
happy homes and cheerful fire
sides. The Telegram congrat
ulates all concerned in this vic
tory.
There was a Wolfe in sheeps
clothing a few days ago astray
in this county, but he was safely
captured Tuesday and the farm
ers now feel no concern about
their flock ?
Earthquake Mkcrk*.
Mexico City, November?
The strongest earthquake shocks
ever felt in Moxioooccurred hero
last night, lasting over five
minutes. Many houses ami
walls fell. Tho streets wore full
of fleeing people. Many ware
i injured and a number have died
The electric and other lights
wont out, leaving the city in
darkness. All trafHc was sus
pended, and the streets were
, filled with screaming, cryinsr,
! praying people.
The scene was indescribable.
People in the theaters, which
were all running at the time,
were terribly frightened, and
panics were averted only by tho
police. The shocks were felt in
the surrounding towns, but de
tails aro not received yet. 11 is
reported that three personB were
killed and ten injured by the
shock in this city so far as
known.
Tne Tribune need not worry
about llarmer's Bridgeport
speeches. He made a prophecy
in that speech that he would be
elected by 600. He went higher.
The affidavit procured by Tom
G. Brady and used by the Dod
dridge -boss' against Reed, cer
tainly did its work. Tho only
place he could get it circulated
was in Harrison and it caused
Heed's vote to run S ahead of the
Dn in Winter and
for what breaks tho force of the
wind in the Winter will not oniy
serve the same purpose in Sum
mer. but if the right kind will
also supply shade, and shade on
a farm is as necessary as some
other things,
Any where, under any circum
I stances, a wind-break saves?
saves fuel in Winter whether put
into the stove or fed to the stock
and in the Summer saves the
life or prolongs the life of man
and beast A tight board fence
costs; but it is economy to build
if no other kind be available, but
a board fence in the Summer
may be in the way and is always
a radiator of heat. If It run in
the right direction it may furn
ish shade, but other wind-breaks
are better.
Better than wood, more pic
turesquo and more useful in
in Summer is the natural fence
of willows?the common willow
that grows wild in great abund
ance. -Nothing requires less
care. A farmer went into a
meadow and cut an armful of
willows in the Spring, thrusts
the scions into the earth where
he wanted his wind break, mak
ing two rows, eighteen inches
apart, ane the work was done.
The willow grow with surpris
ing rapidity if there be sufficient
moisture, and moisture they
should have in abundance at the
start. After they are rooted
they will grow if the soil is not
moist, but they grow faster with
moisture.
In two seasons they may be an
appreciable windbreak, and in
another the hedge will turn a
cow. In the Summer the hedge
of willows is ornamental; it
gives the yard, and the buildings
generally a bright setting ; and
more, it provides through the hot
months shade for all small stock
on the farm.
The ducks, geese, hens, ckick
ens and the turkeys delight in
the shady retreat; the turkey
may make her nest there instead
of going to tho woods or road
side bush. In providing a living
wind-break, several purposes
are accomplished, everyone im
portant and useful.?Oeorge Ap
