The fact is that the Wheeling Register
rsver could bear to let Its readers know
tbe facts "a bout any election that ever hap
pened. Years ago it caused them' in q
certain memorable canvass, to lose a great
deal Of money, and to this day, as the
Fairmont Virginian remarked only a lew
DAVIS ago, the people of Marion county
take no stock in the Registers election
news. They wait to see the lSEElLi'
oxxczG before they bet. =,
As specimen OF the deception still
practiced by the Register, it is trying to
make the people OF this State believe that
Jackson has an increased majority over
Tildeu or Mathews in 1876. whereas moth
ing could be further from the truth. Even
the Democratic KanawhG GGlstte does not
estimate Jackson's majority above 5000
This is done by the Register for effect on
the. November vote, and especially tor
effect in this Congressional district.
1t is well for the people OF this Con-
yressionsl district to know that Jackson is
in very decided minority in the district
and that the result Of the November vote
depends on what the Greenbackers may
conclude 10 do. If they listen to the ap'
peaIs OF Col. Wilson, who tells them what
a follower Of Weaver he has been land
who tells them this even when in the
very act Of telling them he is standing on
a hard money p!attorm). they can
cleo. him to Congress again. IL,
on the other hand, they are capable OF
approaching the great blessings conferred
upon the country by the Republican party
in the way OF sound and bountifnl cir
culstion Of money, and by wise and fos-
tering care for its multltudinous industries,
thew will vote for a man about whose
position there is no element OF uncertainty
either in respect to the currency or the tariff
The contest is between Col. Wilson, who
belongs to the free trade party Of the coun-
try, land who. will vote for Tree trader
for Speaker, II he is the nominee of the
Democratic caucus at Washington, and
John A. Hutchinson, who Is not only a
tariff man, and sound and plethoric cur
rency man, but Is allied heart and soul
with the great party of the country that
adyocstes both, and that has proved its
professions bv dispatches.
II the Greenbackers are not still infatua'
= ted with the idea OF throwing their votes
away in this contest, they can perform the
greatest service Of their lives this year to
the interests OF the people of the First
Congressional District by turning in and
heartily supporting the candidacy oil John
A. Hutchinson.

Prosperity in the iron trade may be in
ferred from the table giving the percent
age Of furnaces in blast and out OF blast
published in the Iron Age. Sixty per cent
OF anthracite furnaces, ftty.seven of char
coal and fifty.eight Of bituminous were in
blast October l, 1880. This is a much
larger per cent than has been shown at
the corresponding period Of anyyear since
1874. In 1s78the per centage was only a
little over thirty in each class OF furnace.
The figures Of this year correspond very
nearly with those Of September, 1874,
though there has been an increase in the
per cent Of bituminous furnaces in blast
and q decrease in the charcoal furnaces.

while Republication was our rescue
and salvation. Democracy knew naught
Init slavery and the slaveholdtnG
interest, while Republication, the mo-
ment It obtained power, struck the letters
from the masses, gave them schools, and
taught them to look upon labor and enter
prise as honorable.
II We had not been part OF the solid
south-if we bad not been ruled by Bour.
bonism-if labor had been looked on IS
boporable-if the white laboring masses
had not been Disseminated against in the
interest OF slavery-our State would have
been a land Of railroads, Of public i'm
proyements Of every sort, Of furnaces
mills, and Of great diversified industries
We should not see, as can be seen
to-day, tracts Of ten thousand acres
Of good land in one body, owned
by speculators who bought them for q
pittance, lying untitled, and unproductive
to the State or to the owners. Look at
the immense bodies Of lands In West
Virginia, thus held, that are allowed to go
to sale for the taxes Of the State, and then
bought in by their owners in order 70 cut
out county and district taxes. They redeem
them from the State and thus wholly es
cape the local taxes.
As General woodiord said to the people
Of Missouri, and as he might just as appro
priately say to the people Of West Virginia
"You need the Republican party far more
than the Republican party needs you"

fully authorized to denounce II as bold

II. l.. Morey and was not aware OF the ex-
istence Of such an institution as the I'm.

which Mercy was said TO be connected.
The letter is one OF the most fagrant lies
which has ever been concocted by a des-
perate party upon the eve OF defeat. We
call upon the iair.minded and truth.loving
voters OF the country to make the over

Nothing in Gen. Grants speeches and
letters concerning men and affairs has vim
dictated his clearness and sound judgment
more than his statement Of Gen. Han
cocks character. Here is what he said OF
Hancock:
"When the Army Of the Potomac was
hunting for q commander 1t took almost
every body, and even came over icto the
West for officers, but no one ever even
suggested Hancock for the place. After
he received those votes In 1884 he had the
ibee in his bonnet and shaped verything

nomination"

thy with the South" r. :
nHe is crazy to be President. DE ,is
ambitious, vain, and weak. They WIZ
easily control him. have known him ior
iorty wears. He Is weak, vain man. ne
ia the most selfish man l know. He could
never endure to have any one else receive
any credit. Though he received all the
mention from hissuperiors he deserved,
and often more, he was always displeased
that he was not praised more, and that any
one else was mentioned at all. He IL

was ambitious, and had courage and q
fine presence; but he is. vain, selfish,
weak, and easily aattered. He cannot
bear 10 hear any one else pTaised, but can
take any amount OF fattery."
This estimate of the "superb's" charac-
ter has been yindicated thoroughly by the
vanity and weakness shown by him in his
recent abandonment OF the darling prin-
ciple of Western Democracy, their tar
Ia plank, after he had endorsed it. This
shows how reliable he would bein the Ex-

An Important Question for West yir
gIniRnN.

kluihuSs
The following extract from the saluta'
tory OF the Republiean-the new Republic
can paper at Phillip, Barbour county, W.
Va.,-seems to be attracting general atten-
ton throughout the State. We have
already published it once, but now give it
to our readers again. 1t is an extract on
which they may we'll ponder before casting
their votes next Tuesday:
We believe that it is the mission Of the
Republican party to create and develop
wealth and prosperity for all classes OF the
American people in all the States OF the
Union. The Democratic party has always
seemed TO us allied to sectional interests
at the expense OF the masses. What did il

OF lis l0rer and supremacy before he Carf
Look at the history OF our State and COM
pare it with the history Of Western Penn
sylvania, Of which we are geographically
part. Why is the one region highly de-
veloped, populous and prosperous? Why
is 1t thiCkly studded with mills, factories,
furnaces, workshops, and all sorts OF in
dustrial enterprise? Why has II net
Hotk Of Iailroads connecting it with every
part OF the country? And why, in marked
contrast with all this development and
prosperity, is West Virginia left 60 far be.
hind in the march of improvement? Why
are not her coal, iron ore and timber
opened to the market OF the Country2
Why Is she not in like manner covered
with network OF railroads? Why have
we not mills and factories to utilize our
water power and our iuel?
Fellow citizens, there must be some rea.
son for all this. What is III We put the
question to you in all candor and impair.
TALLY. It's for each and all OF you TO an.
swer this question by the light OF your in.
telligence and with truthful regard to your
best interests.
West Virginia was land Of slavery and
darkness under Democratic rule-a land
where freedom OF speech and the ballot
were denied to white citizens; where men
were mobbed for their political opinions;
where there were no free schools; where
the people grew up in Egyptian ig.
norance for the lack OF schools; where
capital and labor would not come to devel.
ope our State, because we had despotism
in power under the name OF Democracy,
and because labor was dishonored by 80
called virginianism, and because Demo.
cratic officials, like Col. Ben. Wilson, in.
dicted men in the courts for circulating
the NJ y. Tribune, and compelled them to
flee from the State in order to escape
Democratic vengeance.
The Republican party was in power only
few brief years, but in that short time 1t
old more to start West Virginia on the
road to progress than did the Demo-
cratic party IN all the long stretch Of
time, running back to the settlement
of the STATE, that 1t was in power.
Democracy was our blight and bane,

That Fishing Party.

The Greenlaw- Cochran fishing party got
in from Dougherty's lake sometime during
last night. II was reported they walked
back, but this was a mistake, for they only
took small promenade Of sixteen mile:
across the prairie through hot, broilinq
sun, to Forney, where they caught freight
train. 1t turned out just as we sad--the fish
in that lake were not IN n particle of danger
They say this was wholly owing to total
loss of their bait, which they had in a Jug.
ID was placed on the bank, and while they
were angling short distance of, an old
mulcy COW stepped up aud drank it dry.
They never got bite after that happened,
and hadn't got one before.
They put up at hotel kept by Col. joins
Pttre, hog farmer and formerly maml o.
of Col. Cochran's company in the wa. lie
entertained them in princely style by telling
bear stories, but unfortunately threw in IN
alligator excursion he had on tho Lake for
good measure. he was sitting on a log fish
ing one day when he was suddenly knocked
into the water by an alligator's tail. He
tried TO regain the log, but the "gator,

Then they had il round and round that lake,
over and under logs, now across and then
down the middle. The Colonel got tired and
wanted to get upon the home.strctch but
how to take home that gator was the point.
He hit upon the plan ofgougng his eyes out,
then followed for the "old woman to bring
him an axe" and then drove him to the
bank where she was standing, when she split
his head open. Greenlaw and Cochran were
ready to get away from that lake long | erore
the story was finished but being assured that
aligators did not often come into the house,
they waited until next day.
