VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
For the Intelligencer

| W hEELING, OcE. q. 1900.
Messrs. Edtors:-One of the charges
agninst the Republicans by the Bell mcn
IN TINS vicinity is, that the Tariff plank in
thcIr platform is too vague. am ut n loss
to know how they can find fault with this
when they profess to regard platforms as
otno binding effect; but point to the record
as an exponent of principles. Now. the
record shows that at the last session of
Congress, II Republican Committee report-
cd Tariff bill in place of borrowing
twenty millions annually to pay the ordi-
nary expenses of government. It passed
the House; all the Republicans voting for

So that in fact there was but one anti.
Iarlh Republican in the House. The Bell
EyerettT then IN the mouse voted
against its passage. 1t was sent to the
Senate and there received the united sup
port of the Republicans; but was refused
even to be put upon its passage by ma
jority of Brcckinridge, Douglas and Bell
Everett Democrats. Now with this record,
SO recently made, staring them in the face,
to claim to be Tariff, and charge the Re-
publicans with being anti-tariH, is about
as inconsistent as calling the Republicans.
black because they want to keep the Terri
tories for t0Iitc men.
But not content with Nppropriating to.
themselves all the tariff thunder, our Bell
men proclaim Republican principles from
almost every stump. They dcprecate the
extension of slavery, and picture its bNne-
ful effects in truthful colors, defending all
the real principles of tho Republican par
ty, aud then dcnounce it as sectional, be-
cause, forsooth, it is not strong in the
South. Now, if their professions were
sincere, how easily could they remove this
difficulty by voting for "lIonest Old Ahe,"
the real representative of the principles
they advocate.
Professcd Union savcrsl In Tennessee,
the home of Mr.. Bell, where they know
him best, his own friends pledge him n

avowed object of defeating an election by
the people, and passing it over to the sew
eral State delegations in Congress tc
wrangle and fight over, as ''a bone of con-
tention" fitted only to produce confusion
bribery and corruption.
Under these circumstances, they ask
those of Republican sentiments to hell

The Pcnmsylvania Election.


The whole country awaits with intense
interest the result of next Tuesdays cleo
ton in Pennsylvania. 1t will go very far
towards deciding the contest. 1t is true
Foster is the candidate of both wings of
the Democratic party, and his success will
not, therefore, imply the defeat of Lincoln
in November Still the moral effect of a
Democratic victory now would be very
great. not only in Pennsylvania itself, but
in this State. 1t would give increased
courage and hope to the fnsion movement.
The election of Curtin. the Republican
candidate for Governor, would render the
vote of Pennsylvania very certain for Ltni- :
coin, and would be widely regarded. as de-
Gliding the Presidential contest.
If the true Conservatives of Pennsylva
nin appreciate the real nature and impor7
taucc of the. pending contest, they can
scarcely be mislcd Into throwing their
weight into tile Republican scale
The issue, us made by the Fusionists, Is
not simply between the election of one

TIE Taunton (Massachusetts) Gazette in
corporates the following interesting remi-
nisccnce in notice of the article on ''The
National Inteltigencer and its Editors" in
the last atlantic NonthIy:
ait will be seen from this interesting
narrative that there was time when Jo-
seph Gales stood alone among Congress
sional reporters; and to still further illus
tratc his position in that line we call to
mind what we once heard an intimate
friend of Mr.. Webster say we owed to him
and his wife with regard to the celebrated
reply to Mr.. Haync. Meeting the Massa-
| chusctts senator as he was going to the
| Capitol Gu that morning, Mr. Gales inquired
of him how long he intended to speak,
t'About half an hour, was the reply. The
editors duties ut that time were pressing;
but he ycntured to take so much time from
them. Mr. Webster, however, directly af-
ter met Judge Story, who said that he
thought the time had come to give to the
country his views on the constitution. To
=! this proposition he assented Mr.. Gales
took up his pencil, unaware of this new
arrangement, and alike unconscious of the
lapse of time under the onchuntmcnt of
the orator, and consequently he wrote on
until the close of the spell. Some days
passing over. and the proof of the speech
not appearing, Mr.. Webster called on the
reporter aud made inquiry. I have the
notes, said Mr.. Gales, and they are atyour
service, as shall never find timo to w.ite
them out. This led to some rcmonstrance
and persuasion, but the ovcr-tasked editor
stood firm. Then Mrs. Gales came to his
rescue by saying that she..thought she conld
I,decipher her husbands short hand, US she
had formerly occasionally doue so. Nlr,
I Gales doubted, seeing. that it was fifteen
years since. she had tried it. But she had
: heard the speech, and as the resistless
r sweep of its argument and the gorgeous
!. and massive magnifcencc Of its imagery
I were yet vivid in her mind, she persistet
! in Undertaking the difficult work. In due
time thereafter. the fair manuscript came
