THE WASHINGTON STOCK SALE.

The second general stock sale on the
Washington County .Pal Fair Grounds
last Friday was in ny way success,
AMI showed marked improvement. over
the former sale. 1t was estimated that
there was not less than THOUSAND men
on the Fair Grounds. Forty-siX horses
we're entered, and in addition to these,
three were sold which were not entered
upon the sale books, also seventeen
head of cattle, two yoke OF oxen and
twenty head of hogs. For exhibition
there were twenty-one head OF cattle,
embracing Short Horns, Devons, Alder
news and Holstein thorOughbrcds. Be
sides these were several stations and a
flock of South Down sheep, bucks, ewes
and lambs. In the mechanical depart
ment were thresherS, mowers, reapers,
wagons, plOws and harrOws, with lot of
secondhand implements. A barbed
wire fence was also on exhibition. The
prices realized are not given, but are
said to have been satisfactory to all par
ties.
The Reporter, in the course OF its ac-
count OF the affair, has this to say:
"a wrong impression prevails in ref
elence TO sails by auction. IL has been
the habit OF our people 10 attend legal
sales by the Sheriff and administrators
of estates, where tue selling is peremp-
tory at anv price. This has given the
impression TO buyers that an auction
necessarily implies sacrifice OF prop
ertv. At a sheriff sale one man gays
20 another, :" III you do not bid on the
colt / shall not bib on the heller and
the result is that by this little arrange
ment both will get the property at rate
far below its value. So on the other hand
some folks knowing that eastern buy
ers were present, put their horses lar
above their real value, and the result
was "no sale" Now when people learn
that an auction is voluntary, that the
property need not be sacrificed, tn y
will not expect to get 1t at less than "a
fair market price. And so with sellers,
il they really want To sell, they will not
expect more than the current market
rate. People should come to the stock
sale as they would come to store for
the purchase of dry goods, and this is
the true idea Oi commercial business.
They should expect TO sell their stock as
they sell wheat, corn and wool, at fair
market price.
THE success attending these two
efforts gives encOuragementto the society
10 make the stock sales permanent IN
stitutiOn."

The Election.

New MartlnSville DemOcr1t.
The County Court bill has been
showed under" and Judge Lowman
will continue 10 conduct the judicial
business uf the county in the usual
stvle. IL is not a little remarkable, not
vlthStludrng the cutlery about the
County Court. that i'm every county in
this state since the adoption Of the pre-
sent constitution. all such bills have
b ,sn voted down by the people. The
Justices of the Peace, almost without
exception, have united in opposition to
such measures, and voted and exercised
their influence against them.
In the present contest the Justices
and those who expect to be justices, and
their name is legion, plunged into the
arena with all their cohorts and bore
down all the opposition.
And il is humiliating tn recall the fact
that success was attained by arguments
not addressed to intelligence, but 10
prejudice and ignorance.
That this was a lawyers bill, and that
il YOU supported it YOU could not vote
upon the constitutional amendment
next year were the miserable arguments
that deceived the people. We have not
fully made up our mind on the amend
ment question. II will be hard for us,
when il comes to the pinch, TO exchange
Judge Fleming for Chap Stuart; and We
believe the amendment would be found,
upon trial, to be the severest instru-
ment for the oppressionofthe poor man
that ever was invented.

Timely d scussion.

The Farmont West |irginldn gives
some information regarding the canvass
in that county on the County Court bill
in which an important lesson is con-
tanned. Where the bill was discussed
and understood the vote was almost
unanimous in it's favor, and where 1t
was voted on ignorantly it was almost
unanimous the other way. That is the
usual course OF things in matters OF such
character. 1t will be the same in the
canvass upon the Constitutional Amend
ments. The people are slow to look in
to and slow to decide upon such mat
tiers. They should not be pressed to
hasty conclusion, and hence the value Of
an early and thorough canvass Of I'M
portant changes in our State polity.
SAYS the Hest Tirg;nian:
The election last Tuesday passed of
quietly at all points throughout the
county. The returns are not yet III,
but most OF the voting places have been
heard from and the result is known.
At least we have heard enough to
know that the people went blindly TO
the polls and voted down the single
Judge plan, and by doing this they
have forever settled the County Court
question. They have said that they are
satisfied with the present system, not
withstanding they have heretofore de-
nouncCd it. They have always com
planned of its expensiveness and ineff
cheney, yet when the opportunity came
for change and for a great improve
ment they declined to accept it. We
are sorry the people could not see their
interests when voting, but If they are
satisfied with the result it is unnecessary
to say anything further about it. We
will always believe, however, that 1t the
single Judge plan had been under
stood il would have been adopt d.
It's friends made very little effort for
its adoption, while its enemies resOrted
to anything and everything for its de-
feat. Here in Fairmont, where the
matter had been discussed and was well
understood by all, 265 votes We're cast
for it and only ! against it. In Pala-
tine, where it bad also been discussed,
there were l04 for and but 5 against.
In many localities the bill was never
read, and in lust such places it was out
rageously misrepreSented by those who
worked day and night to prevent its
adoption,

WAR ON TIE DEMOCRATIC
-. PA RTY

In his speech at Philppi on the hrst
inst, the Hon. CHARLES j. FAutKsER
made the following pertinent remarks
relative to the attempt TO disorganize
the Democratic party:
In many parts OF the State, and esPe-
cially in the Third Congressional Dis
trict, organizations were formed and are
still forming, whose avowed purpose is
10 break down and destroy the Demo
cratic party of West Virginia. The new
marty. composed OF a full share OF disap'
pointed Democratic office seekers, pro-
iesses not TO be satisfied with the ablll-
tv ana good faith OF the old Democratic
party to relieve the people, yet, perch
ing itself to large extent upon our
own platform, 1t proposes 10
push our policy TO extreme
measures, which we do not believe TO
be practicable and wise. The only effect
OF this new organization, II persisted IN.
IS 10 create divisions amongst those who
ought 10 act together, and to give the
State 10 the Republicans. 1t is rule
or ruin policy. Such movements may
accomplish personal and selfish ends IN
particular counties, districts and per-
hans in one or two States, but as a
National party, it cannot be said to have
IN existence. 1t does not command one
State nm the North and West, and the
Solid South looks to the Democratic
party, alone, for relief. He said for his
part he had not lost faith in the old
Democratic party; whenever fairly
tried, it had never been found
wanting. For near twenty years
it had been ont Of power, and was
not responsible for a single evil under
which the country now labors. When
ever il gets in full possession OF the
government it will give the people all
the relief which sound and honest legis-
lation can give them. He saw no results
| from the present movements OF the dts
satisfied Democrats, but to secure the
continued triumph of Republican policy.
| III they preferred that result TO the sue
cess OF the Democracy it would he more
manly TO unite with the Republicans at
once. He had no fancy for these new
and untried organizations, while the old
one of approved merit was fully compe-
tent 10 do what was right. He was for
! fighting for Democratic principles under
! the Democratic flag.

rHD OHIO aREENBAcKERs.

>"
The probable disposition of the Green
,oacep yotsAp Ohio is becoming the Chief
onsstion,in the Ohio campaign. II has
zen evident from the FIRST that this
vote wouldturn the scale enc way or
the other. In the last October election,
there was but 5000 plurality for the
-RepablicaRs. The -Gresnbackers polied
IS. 600 votes. Evidently they hold the
balance of power, and need not vote as
q unit TO determine the result one way
or the other. The Cincinnati Enquirer
publishes a series OF interviews from
half of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio,
including the counties where the Green
back votes were mainly polled, giving
surmises as to whether that party will
hold its own in the contest, increase or
fall of in the approaching election.
These interviews show a wide range
of opinions among the leaders OF
the Greenbsck movement, and at
the same time cool deal OF dissatisiac-
ton in the ranks. The contentious over
the platform adopted at their Columbus
convention, and the subsequent one
adopted at Toledo, two weeks later,
have split up the party and in some OF
the counties they propose to abandon
il altogether and return to the Demo
cratic and Republican parties, as their
individual preferences lead them. In
other counties they are divided upon
the ticket, or rather as TO whether
they shall support PlATr, their
own nominee, or EWING, the Demo-
cratic candidate, whom they claim as a
better greenback man than PIATr. In
nearly all the counties heard from
EwIxa is reported to have a following
n the National party. In some, how
ever, only 10 per cent. OF the vote is re-
ported in his favor; in others from p TO
10 per cent; in several others 80 per
cent. and in one or two as high as 10
per cent. The Enquirer, on the basis of
the ports it prints, thinks the present
tspect Of the canvass indicates a majority
of ten 10 fifteen thousand for EWING.
