The MtcLiigeacer of the 9th inst. as
serts that "a Democratic Legislature

West Virginia 20 be re-valued, and the
result was that The valuation OF real
property throughout the State was raised

thirty cents on every hundred dollars OF
this increased valuation, and we nave an
increased levy upon the taxpayers OF the
state of 1896, 403.72 for the present over
last year"

But this is not all. These mstatemeAts
are bat repetition of what appeared in
in that paper q few weeks ago, and what
no doubt led Gofi into making similar
statement IN his speech at
Weston. But the misrepre-
sentation there was so palpable that few
persons seemed to give much attention
to it. But it, repetition so short time
before the election, has the strong ap-
pearancc OF premeuitation and design.

SENATOR boutwell, made a speech IN
defence Of the Gra.t administration Al
New York last Thursday, in which he
attempted to reply to some OF the
charges against It in the st. Louis plat
form. There was one charge in the ST.
Louis platform, however, which Senator
Boutwell, WAS particularly careful not to
reply to; it is that which accuses Sec
retsrv of the Treasury OF 'forcing bal
snces in the public accounts Senator
Bou.well knows who that Secretary of
the Treasury was; and he knows more
about the forced balances than anybody
else; and this makes it the more strange
that he should fail to notice the charge,

Austin Participates I'm Her First
Pole. Raising.

Editors of the Register:
Thinking perhaps that q communlca-
tion from Skin Creek, Lewis county,
would be acceptable to your readers,
| therefore conclude TO write. There
was 3 Tilden and Hendricks club or
ganized in the town of Austin Il few
weeks ago, and they determined that on
the 10Th of the present month, they would
raise Tllden and Hendricks pole.
The gentlemen who managed the at
fair were James Gaylord, WIN. b.
LInger, a. f. Forinash, &. NJ. Gaylord,
+. A. Marsh, n. F. Linger, G. ID. Gould
and J. Ii. Jetl2ries. On the mOrninE'ot
the 10Th we could look out on the roads
and see the people coming to the thrlv-
ing town of Austin to see the first flag
pole that was ever raised in this town.
Just rs we were ready TO raise the pole,
the rain commenced TO come down, yet
the good Democrats were determined,
and the pole WAS raised amidst
the widest enthusiasm, the y1,y
hills eChoing with the names o.
Tlldea Ut d Hendricks. From the apex OF
the pole, eigh.y-iive feet III height, foatcd

directly underneath the streamera II twelve
foot flag waved gracefully to the breezs.
After the raising, the Hon. VIM. h.
Lively, of Weston, was introduced, who
addressed the people on the issues of the
day. We shall not even try to give the
outlines of his remarks, but suffice to say
that it WAS clear and conclusive, that 1t
was an honor to Mr.. Gively and the
Democratic party.
We think, so far as we know, that this
county will 90 largely Democratic, not
withstanding that there has been an et-
fort to sell us, yet We will not sell worth

COL. ID. d. JOHNSON.

The speeches that this gentleman mas
been making on behalf of a restored
Union, peace and pure government, in
several counties of this state, have been
/ highly commended by those who have
heard them. He is one of the soldiers
who fought 10 save the Republic from
disruption; to maintain the supremacy
Of the constitution; 20 preserve the honor
and integrity ot the flag. Having COM
PEELED the south To submit, he protests
against continuing the war after their
surrender. Having broken the arm OF
the rebellion, true soldiers protest
against thrusting the bayonet through
the PROSTATE body OF the states.

maxim that it is cowardly to strike a man
after he is down. They recognize the
fact that the Union will never be Il bless.

tully invested with AL the rights Suaran-
teed py the Constitution and the laws OF
the land, and fraternal relations are com
pIetely restored.
| The South initiated active hOstilities
against the Union. Whatever may have
been its provocations, it nevertheless fired
the first shot ut the Flag. A conflict fol-
lowed. in which section WAS arraycd
against section, ending in the defeat OF
the section which had sought 10 break up
,he Union. 1t submitted WITH the same
irankness that precipitated /: into the
struggle.
| Now, more than eleven years after
/ their full and complete surrender, the
war is revived. By whom? Not by the
South. There is not - vestige OF rebel
lion left. The only states in turmoil are
the states vi ich are under Radical con
troll. The Democratic states OF the
South are as loyal, as peaceful, as paLri-
otic as any Republican state IN the
North.
The war Is over. The Union is saved.
The men who saved it will now seek,
by peaceful means, 10 rescue from tn
prnfIratr- who are using the bHyon"L
to pry open the public TREASURES, and
to pin the people to the gronnd, 80

tyry one. The second i, n peaceful oAe.
The first succeeded by the "'c

The Oolx Chance of Peace

LONDON, September 29.-The Times
special from Belgrade reports that the
situation continues gloomy and grows
more complicated. The only chance OF
peace is Turkeys agreement to the con-
ditions proposed by the powers. II
these are agreed to by the Turks, Russia
will have an excellent chance OF vindi-
eating her sincerity; in fact, all the par.
ties in this gaue of diplomacy would
then have to show their hands.
The war party here mock at sll the al.
lusions TO the decision OF Restlcs
Cabinet. The peace negotiations are
actively Progressing. SerVia's conduct
is thought to proceed merely from de-
sire to influence the meditation favorsbly
to herself. The reply of the Porte will
be entirely satisfactory to the powers.
II will be made officially on Sunday,
when the powers will summon Servls to
fulfill the proposed conditions. The cor.
respondent adds that this statement has
not calmed the public unessiness con-
cerning the eastern prospects OF peace
They declare that Restics does nothing
except what Russia likes. They even
assert that whatever Russia may profess
to other powers she is really for war
until the Turks are driven from Con
stantinople. 1t is idle for Russia TO taIS
of neutrality with an army in in Seryla
The accounts of the operations at the
front are confused, both sides claiming
the victory. On Thursday the Servisn'
were constructing quarters.
Should the war continue there will be
nothing but raids during the winter, as
