THR CHIEF ARGUMENT AID

THE CHIEF ARGUMENT AD-
duced by the friends of Plastic Slate in
proof of lis superiority over all inventions Of

be the yiscous element alike Of coal and slate.

the combination oftar and slate a composition
was obtained possessing the Dliability and elias

This is corroborated by dispatch from

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKEF.
For pre.laent.aI Elee,or
Wood County.

II seems impossible to get any accu-
rate report of the election in Wood
county. The Parkersburg Times print
ed the returns, but did it without foot
ing or'comment, and the printing Is SO
bad we cannot make it out. Private
adyices from Parkersburg put the Re-
publican majority on the State ticket at
"a. One of the Republican candidates
for the House has majority of about
200 and the other l6O. This oYerbaI-
anceB the Democratic majority In
Peasants (54) and insures the election
OF the delegates from the district conn
posed. ofthosetwo counties. The Re-
publicans suffer greater losses iniWood
than in any other county in the State,
There are many reasons forit, some OF
which we may note. The Democracy,
manage to have city election held the.
same time as the other. They raised
the issue of beer or no beer on the Ger
mans, and upon thisfalse issue many of
the Germans. were induced to vote not
only the city but the State Democratic
ticket. Large numbers of fIrfshmen were
runin of the Northwestern Railroad.
Two gentlemen who came to this city
since the election say that large num-.
bers OF men voted in Parkersburg
whose names donot appear on the reg
istry at all. One oflthem looked into
the poll; books a little and found "a
names just in the letter ga" that are
not borne on the registry. 1t is claimed
there are over a hundred and sixty such
votes as these. Then, again, Mr.. Cam
den lives in Parkersburg. BE is man
OF wealth. He has the esympathy of the
Jacksons and other wealthy families
which rule, the social and business
circles of Parkersburg. One o: the
Jaeksons was candidate for Judge,
and they all worked together for
him and Camden. Mr.. Camden has
a bank, and it is said he used
the power which this gave him over
business men who had received
or expected to ask fayors in the bank.
To make this kind of power tell, he
himself stood at the polls all day and
handed tickets to those coming to
vote, and paid the taxes of men who
had to pay their taxes before they could
vote for city officers. Besides this, all
that money could do was done, in the
many ways thatit may be used. Such
were some of the influences that ran up
Mr.. Camden's vote in the city of Par
kersburg; for the county outside Of the
city held up 10 its vote of two years
ago. re
