Hon. G. 5. Scott, the Radical candi-
date for Congress, spoke here to a small
audience, last night. HIS effort was eX-
ceedlngly tame and weak. and fell fiat
upon his hearers. There was no enthu.
siasm, and not single cheer greeted him
during the delivery OF his little piece.
He confined himself entirely to state pol
itics, and did not once refer to National
matters, although a candidate for seat
in Congress. He ignored the vital ques-
tions OF the day, TO the great disappoint.
ment of the few VINO had assembled to
hear him. Of course, he waved the
bloody shirt, and eulogiZed GOtf rs the
greatest general in the late war.
Put Doddridge county down for a good
majority for Col. Ben. Wilson, and if
Scott will on " make few more speeches
here, the Colonels majority will in
crease.
The Grsngers had meeting here yes
terday, and were addressed by that DEM
agogue, Dan Fransworth, of Upshur
county. He made a regular Radical
stump speech. and disguised the honest
granger who heard him.
Joseph Cheuvront, Il prominent and
influential citizen of this place, who has
been heretofore strong Republican, has
declared for TIlden and reform.
The Democrats of this county are wide
awsde, and are working hard for their
ticket, and we are sanguine Of carrying
the county next Tuesday.
Hon. John }. Davis is announced TO
speak here on next Saturday. DOD.

CLOSE UPTHE RANKS.

We desire to impress upon our Demo-
cratic friends the necessity of the utmost
vigilence day and night, in making our
organization by township and school dis
trict, as nearly perfect as human ma
cbinery can be made. Don't wait ior
somebody else to do what YOU see should
he done, but go and do 1t yourself. Per
sonallv know every mar who lives in
your block; personally know how every
one intends voting, personally know
where every man who lives in your block
works; where every one will be on next
Tuesday upon whom you can depend to
vote the Democratic ticket. Then on
Tuesday morning go TO the polls at their
opening, deposit your vote without delay
and then be of. hunting up every other
Democrat who lives in your block, and
personally see that every such person
comes to the polls end casts his vote.
This is II service that must be done by
individual effort. And service that
must be performed by willing men who
have their hearts in the cause-who are
enthusiastic for the success OF that cause.
No paid mercenary will accomplish what
willing and patriotic hands and hearts
will do.

OHIO.

JOHN g. THOMPSON, the organizer OF
the Democratic party in Ohio, says that
in the city of Columbus there are l,5OO
men, largely Germans, who voted last
wear for HAYES, who have expressed
their determination to vote against
BARNES this year Taking this l,50O
from one side and setting it over to the
other side, we have Democratic gain in
the capital city alone OF 1900. AS HAYES
majority was but about five thousand in
the state last year, Columbus will go a
loug way toward wiping it out, if JONI
THOMPSON is correct In Cleveland, the
gain last year to HAYES over the year
before was in round numbers 1000. This
change was made to the HAYES banner
last year, mainly by Germans and
hard money men-men who disagreed
with Gov. ALLEN upon the financial
questions. 1t is known, and conceded
by intelligent Republicans at Cleveland,
that a large proportion of these men will
come back to the Democratic party this
wear. The hard money men are satisfied
with TILpEN and the st. Louis platform,
and the Germans are almost to man
opposed to BARNES, the woman CRU
ssder," who heads the Republican ticket.
Hamilton county, in which Cincinnati
is situated, gave HAYES 1900 majority
last year, which was a large gain for
HAYES, on account of the detection to
the Democracy OF the hard money Ger
mans. From the best information which
We can collect from that county, it seems
altogether probable that the change IN
the German ranks back to the
Democracy this year will be
much more than enough to wipe
that !, 800 out. Then We have reports of
handsome gains to the ranks of the
Democracy in Toledo, Dayton. Zsnes-
vile, Mansfield, Marietta, and many
other places. Looking over the entire
field in the most dispassionate manner,
we are forced TO the conclusion that the
prospects of brilliant Democratic
victory, next Tuesday. in HAYES own
state are very encouraging.
Democrats, it looks now as If victory
is within your grasp! You have but to
put forth your hand and pluck it. With
Ohio, Indisas and West Virginia ours,
next Tuesday, no power on earth will
prevent TILDEN from being chosen
President.
You have every incentive to extra ex-
ertion during the four working days that
remain. Your country and your COM
rades expect that every man will do his
whole DUTY

THE question of employing married
women as teachers, which is being dis.
cussed by the School Board in New
York, is rather delicate one, and per-
haps difficult to answer. OF course the
principal argument against the employ
ment of married women is that the duties
of maternity interfere with the discharge
of regular duties as teacher. This may
be productive of occasional inconveni'
ence, it is true; but, on the other hand, 1t
should DE remembered that, all other
conditions being equal, the mother OF
children is much the fittest woman to in
struct and direct the children of others,
and it would appear to be unwise to
make any sweeping regulation against
married teachers.
