THE THIRD DISTRICT.

We have from every part of the Third
District, tho Democratic Gibraltar of
West Virginia, the most cheering news.
Three-fourths ofthe people Of that Dis
trlct are Democratic, and when they turn
out and cast full vote they
can roll up n majority OF
from 5000 to 10000 for the Democ.
racy. Like all localities in which either
party has such preponderance, 1t takes
a good deal to stir the people up and
bring them to the polls. A few men will
take an active interest in political mat
tiers, but the opposition being feeble the
masses will plod on giving them but
little attention. They think all will be
right without their botherlng themselves.
This was the case in the Third District,
a few weeks ago. Everything was dead,
and it looked as if very slim vote would
be the result and, OF course, u slim ma
iorlty for the Democracy. But. thanks
to the enemy, all that has been changed.
Corr has been raiding over the District
and has stirred up the Democrats TO
earnest labor. A full vote is now prom
ised, and humping majority will be
the consequence.
The skies are bright in every quarter
The news from West Virginia will be
received with great rejoicing by our
brethren from the Atlantic to the Pacific
tomorrow.

We have been requested to say that
owing to some misunderstanding rs to
the action of the Central Democratic
Club, last Thursday night, an impression
prevailed that torchlight procession
and march to Bellsire to attend the
meeting there WAS contemplated. There
fore ar advertisement TO this Ell
feet was inserted in the REG
IsTER yesterday morning. 1t
appears, however, that work of quite a
different character had been de.
termined on by many Of the
clubs, which made it difficult to
have full cooperation in the centem-
plated p arade of all who desired to par
ticipated. Under the circumstances it
was deemed best to postpone the display
to future evening. 1t just four weeks
until the close of the great battle. From
now hence we will be on the home stretch
to victory. 1t will be good time to
parade and be joyful.
Keep your lamps trimmed, and be ye
in readiness.

Gladstone on the War.

LONDON, October at a pablIc
meeting held in St. Jsmes Hall last
night to consider the Eastern question,
a letter from Gladstone was read. Glad
stone surely attacks the administration
for what he calls persisting in n policy
condemned by the nation and not sup

con viction that making BOSNIA, Herze
govins and Bulgaria Independent Of
the Ottamans would end the controversy,
but be declares he has exhausted all hope
that the government will see the true
merits of the case.

AMONG the side shows Of the great
Democratic soldiers demonstration at

contained either pyramids of children in

acted out by comedians from the country.
One of those latter represented q Jail on

terness win Wnlcn IL Dhs Oeen WdSeu uas
Increased to such an extent that party
lines have been drawn with precision.
This precision has perhaps caused many
Republican voters to waver in their or
iginal resolve to vote for GEORGE
r. TINGLE rs their choice tor the position
of sheriff of Ohio county at the election
to-day. A resolution which they made
deep IN their own hearts when his earnest
and indefatigable labors for the removal
of the capital to this city were successfully
terminated, and fresh in their minds. At
that time those Republican removalists
knew and realized the task that had been
accomplished, and felt grateful to the
man who had done so much in behalf OF
the city's and their own interests. 1t is
useless at this late hour to attempt to re-
fute in detail the feeble at
tempts made By Mr.. BRITT and
and his friends to despsrsge the service
done the city by Mr.TINGLE, by asserting
that other gentlemen did as much and
that Mr.. TINGLE was working for
future reward and was paid for his labors.
Even If such were the case the fact Is
patent, and admitted that Mr. TINGLE
did much of the work. But our
point is this, and to what we
particularly desire to call your attention.
throughout the state and particularly in
re Third District, Mr.. Tingle has been
onsldered and always referred to as the
articular champion of the Capitol re-
movalists. He II was that received their
hardest thrusts and was exposed to the
heaviest brunt of the battle. No other
man seemed to be known to the
friends of Chssleston, or the enemies OF
Wheeling from .the.time OF the call for the
Capital Removal Convention at Grafton
which was the very conception OF the
agitation, down to the time of the passage
of the bill. Further, the Capital is located
in our midst. The city has expended
Sl500O0 for the erection OF
of an elegant edifice for the use of the
state. We have literally and nobly ex-
pressed our desire to retain the Capital
with us, yet we publicly proclaim to the
state and especially to the shrewd and
Jealous workers for the Third district
who will be here in force this winter,
both as legislators and lobbyists, that we
have no further use for the only gentle
man known to them as peculiarly Wheel
ing's successful removalist. The defeat
of MIR. TINGLE. aside from the ngrati-
tude of the many Republicans who
so faithfully promised him their suf-
frages. would be taLamount to defeat
ofthe removalsts and such an indication
of apathy on the part Of Wheeling that
would be seized with svidity and very
likely successfully used as the means
by which bill could be rushed through
the legislature to again in the near
future remove the Capital from our
city.
This is the gist of our remarks, and
the point we desire to impress
on our Republican citizens who
until recently let, aside from party
view, that MIR. TINGLE was their choice
and who. iftney were to consult their bet
ter Judgment and the interest of the city,
which is their own, would to-day vote
for Mr.. TINGLE.

forgets TO mention those localities which
are Democratic. To-day is election day,
and the Radicals need all the encourage
ment they can get, hence his conduct.
To morrow the true returns will come IN,
when the public can form some ides
of the exact condition Of affairs,
considering that Colorado was
admitted into the Union by a
Radical Congress for the sole purpose OF
obtaining two L. S. Senators. The close
ness of the vote is of itself sufficient
encouragement to make them, and their
Associated Press agents tslsity. When
the truth is fully known, 1t will be
found that Colorado is ours.
