Special Dispatch to the Register.
The opposition movement in the Third
District collapsed this morning. John
Hall, the Radical Independent candi-
date for Congress against Hon. Frank
Hereford, has withdrawn from the can-
vass, leaving the latter clear track. A
strong effort was made by the Radical
ring leaders and small knot ofsore-heads
TO induce him to reconsider his declina-
tion, but it failed. Some now talk ofputting
Cyrus Newton, fragrant with Nat. Har-
rison fame) on the track, and thus turn
ing the whole thing into screaming
farce.
1t now turns out that John Hall was
being bled to death by the cormorants
and leeches who professed to be his
friends, and who were quilting him with
assurances Of success. 1t is pretty well
understood that Clawhsmmer Witcher,
Wes. Atchinson,C. B. Webb ofthe Chron-
iclc, and lot Of other bummers have ex-
torted from the poor old man four thou
sand dollars, and spent it in riotous
living. Finding that he was being plum
dered by his pretended supporters, and
that he was bound to go down under the
terrific FIRE of Hereford, Walker, and
other stumpers,. Hall determined to
90 no further in the race, and so no.
titled the Republican Executive Com
mittee. Their piteous begging that he
shall not desert them is of no avail.
Mr.. Halls withdrawal wipes ont all
opposition to Democracy in the Third
District, and leaves the election of an
unbroken Democratic delegation from
our twenty-one counties certain.
Not one Radical, nor one bolter
will have a seat in the next Legislature
of West Virginia, from the Third dis
trict.
Hereford will now walk over the track
without further opposition. VICTOR.

The farmers OF the west seem dispos-
ed to take stock in politics. The follow.
ing dates from Chicago:
A meeting of the Advisory Board OF
the State Farmers Association of Hi.
nois was held at Bloomington, 81 on, of
l02 counties being represented. The
object was to decide upon the availa-
hility of organizing an independent po-
lItical party, the matter having been re-.
rerred by the State Association at its
last meeting to this committee. After
q discussion which lastod noarly all day
il was decided by almost n unanimous
vote that new party shall be organlz-
ed, which shall include members of all
industrial organizations, and u call was
issued for the State Convention I" meet
at Bloomington.
1t is said that preparations for SINH
lar movements are making in other
States. We believe all these class or
CARNATIONS and associations are wrong
in their tendency and fraught with ques-
tionabe results; but rs the press of the
country and the leading men seem to
have n wholesome dread Of them, they
will no doubt prevail for season, and
thea pass away, leaving the interests
sought to be subscrved in worse con-
dition than ever.

a Paris letter writer says: Evidently
difficulties are fast closing in about us.
and every day we have some fresh
cause for rejecting upon the security o f

mated the Commune is very far from
being crushed. Some men are once
more organizing for another attempt,
and just as they did before in 1913 and
1871. Societies Of workingmcn arc form
cd in each arrondisement under the di-

take ,heir orders from q central com
