IN the Eastern Panhandle. "From the
classic Engine House Of Harper's Ferry
memorable as the stronghold Of Old John !,
Brown, whose soul is marching on 9On
addressed the people"
Our correspondent goes on to give .
briei sketch Of the Generals remarks
mostly upon State politics. and quite e1'
,an.,yely devoted to West Virginia fnan'
oi.I matters. "He showed that with all
tbe nromisc Of economy given to the peo-
nle in 1870 the expenses Of the State
government r had increassd.p He "also
thoroughly 4 dissected the County Court
system and showed what a aham and q
fraud upon the people 1t was" $50 sta
tistical, powerful and logical was his ar
ray OF facts and figures that his hearers
we're held to the closest attention." and
Eat the close there was but one opinion
rs to the merits Of the speech and the
speaker" Seen. Goff has gained golden
opinions for himself among the people Of
Jefferson" and "while we cannot (says
The writer) promise him a majority in
this county, we can predict large de-
crease in the Democratic majority"
This is the way that the people write
about Gen. Goff's canvass wherever he
goes. He is boldly battling against great
odds, but he fights his way with far more
enthusiasm and power than his opponent.
BE deserves a magnificent victory on the
10Th Of this month, and we trust it willbe
our happy privilege to record such a VIC
tory for him on the morning Of the 1lth.

The Candidate for secretary or
~ state in Ohio. ~6'sTa-
MARTINS FERRY, O., Oct. 3.


Editors IntellIgeucer:
Democrats here are claiming that Col.
Milton Barnes, candidate for Secretary Of
State, never was in the army. By refer.
ring to "Ohlo In the War;" I find that
Milton Barnes was mustered into the
service on August 9th, 1852; was promotA
ed 10 Lieutenant Colonel Of the 9th o.
V. l.; was twice severely wounded in ac.
ton; was under fire over two hundred
days-in the battles Of the Southwest;
was promoted TO Colonel for bravery at
the battle Of Kencsaw Mountain, and was
mustered out of the service June 18th,
1865. The regiment Of which Mr.. Barnes
was Colonel lost during the war ll3
officers and menkilled, and 500 wounded.
Another charge against Colonel Barnes is
that he is an opponent Of all secret socie.
ties. As to his views on this subject nop
do not know, but few years ago met
Colonel Barnes al Columbus, o., as del
egate TO the grand lodge OF secret socie.

The gallant Union soldier who leads
The Republican party in West Virginia
inthisgreat contest is making triumphal
canvass throughout the state-such a
canvass as has not been known for years
on the part Of any candidate for Cover
nor. We publish this morning graphic
account OF his speech, and its effects, at
Martinsburg, Berkeley county, last Sat-
urday night. We hear the same sort Of
a report in regard to his speech, and
the effects It produced, at Lewisburg,
Gteenbricr county, the home Of Mr..
Mathews, the Democratic candidate
for Governor. We are told by one who
was present at Lewisburg, that Gof'
spoke three hours and yet at the close OF
bis remarks the people cried for him to
80 on, so deeply were they stirredby the
matter and the manner Of his speech.
Our informant says that his speech was
the most powerful arrAignment Of the
Democratic party, and Of It's mal-adminis.
i'AIion Of affairs in West Virginia, to
which he ever listened. Toward the
close Of it, GOT, as II inspired by the
profound attention and sympathy Of the
people, stepped forward to tie edge
OF the platform and said: "Fellow
citiEenS2 il these things which l have
uttered in your hearing are not true-n
they can be reEuted-you have the men
'nyOur midst who can relute them, and
'Ssy have an opportunity to do so"

forming the parties interested in the De-
partment that he is constrained TO post
pone the establishment Of 800 additional
money order offices for which requisite
preparations had been made until the
commencement of the next fiscal year for
the reason that the clerical force OF the

the recent reductions to perform the addi-

A Word TO Onr Ohio Friends.

We trust that the reports reaching US
as to apathy and indifference in this
canvass at such important points as steu.
benville, on the part OF the Republicans
there, are greatly exaggerated. And yet
it is our duty to call the attention OF
our friends to The fact that these reports
are in circulation and also to the fact
that our boys who went up to Steuben.
Vile last Saturday night so full of the
spirit and enthusiasm that prevails here
in the Republican ranks, came back feel
ing as II a different state Of things existed
among their neighbors, and also as il
steubenyille was grand missionary
field for their efforts.
We are at loss to account Tor this ap.
pearancc Of apathy in the reliable coun-j
" Of Jefferson, and we trust that il is al.
ter all more apparent than real. But
would it not be well to let the world see
that there is nobody absent from bis
post up there or asleep on his
watch? The Democrats are preten.
ding to claim Ohio as one Of the
States they are to capture this year. They
are evidently animated by some hope Of
the kind. We warn our Ohio friends OF
the existence Of this hope and put them
on their guard against all manifestations
Of Indifference as to the tremendous result
in that important State next Tuesday. We
trust and believe that when the Democrats
make their attack next week, they will
find that
