OUR BENWOOD NEIGHBORS
Hallowed Before They Were Out of the
Woods-Political and Town Talk.

HaIlowed Before They Were Out of the
Woods-Political and Town Talk.
On Saturday evening last, one of our
prominent Republicans circulated the re-
port that Maxwell was elected by some two
hundred majority The report went like wild
fire among the Republicans, who went
bowling through our streets with hurrahs
for Maxwell just as though he was elected;
but our Democrats were equal to the
emergency and soon stopped their huzzas
by asking them to back their %opinion with
their money. Our boys were flush and
dared them to come down with the ducats,
even offering two to one, but the Republi-
cans soon wilted and by ten o'clock they
had all taken themselves to their houses.
The next morning they appeared upon the
streets looking very blue, they condemn in
seven languages the gentlemen who started
the report. 1t is believed that after
The November election our Republican
friends for a few days, at least will be
scsrcer than hen teeth. The Cleveland and
Hendricks club went to Wheeling Saturday
night TO help our Wheeling friends iollify,
but did not appreciate the slight put upon
them By the managers, who gave them the
rear of the column. They think, as visi-
tors, they should have been accorded a posi-
tion near the head or at least the middle of
he column. Vice President Thompson of
the A. 4. Of |. 4 S. W. was in town yester-
day, and rumor has it that his visit has
something to do with the nailers strike.
Benwood is suffering from the effects of the
depression in trade, and yet some
of those who are affected the most
are loud in their demands that the 2. O. D.
be continued in power. Strange consis-
tency indeed, that the present depression
and stagnation in trade is clearly traceable
to the financial policy Of the Republicans no
man with ordinary intelligence will deny,
and yet those who feel it most are willing
that it should be continued. Mr.. Jesse
McMechen's brick building is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. 1t is the largest
building in town. Mr.. Montgomery, Over
seer Of the Poor of this county, was in town

IN STATU QUO.
The situation Between the Manufi c urers
and Nailers.

Tie situation Between the Manufi c urers
and Sailers.
There was no material change in the
position between the manufacturers and
nailers Yesterday. The latter are very firm
in their demand and the same can be said
of the latter. If no amicable settlement is
reached to-day the residents of this city can
look forward to n of the most bitterly
contested struggles ever taken place
between the mill and the
workmen. Yesterday morning the
La Belle Mill Company contemplated, in
fact, made every preparation to start their
heating furnaces and sheet rolls to work on
steel, but were sadly disappointed when at
the time to start up to find that the rollers
would not turn a wheel while the trouble
existed between the nailers and the firm.
This astounded the manufacturers, and a
conference between the uoilers of this mill
and the owners was Immediately requested.
About , o clock the Mill Committee, accom-
panied by the President of the Amalga-
mated Association, Mr.. Weihe, of Pittsburg,
and Vice Pres't Thompson, met the owners
n the mill ~companys Office. The confer
cnce lasted until nearly 6 o'clock, when it
iually had to be brought to a close as no
amicable agreement could be decided on.
me committee, as will be seen in our ad-
yertising columns, called a neeting OF all
the nailers belonging to this mill. The
meeting will be held at Arbenz hall this
morning at 5 80. What action will betaken
at this meeting no one outside Of the assoc
jatiOn can possibly say.
The owners of the La Belle mill decided
Yesterday to pull the fires from the heating
furnaces and engines and not turn a wheel
until the new year enters, but after the con-
ference they decided to let every thing stand
as it was yesterday morning until after the
meeting Of their nailers this morning.

ELECTION FRAUDS
Prscticed by Honest Republicans
in West Virginia.
Repeating Negroes Make a Contest in
Fayette-Bribing Voters in Pres
ton cOunty--A Case Right
at Home.

Information from Fayette county is to the
effect that great excitement existsin the coal
regions over the unearthing o an election
fraud that changed the whole face OF the re
turns from there. Gov. Wilson is on the
sTot and with Prosecuting Attorney st,
Clair is engaged in ferreting out the authors
of fine fraud and a. the same time contesting
the vote Of the county. 1t appears that on
election day it was noticed that in the coun-
ty along the Chesapeake and Ohio road
from Coal Valley to Quinnemont, an I'M
usual number of negroes went to the polls,
but it it aid not excite much suspicion from
the fact that many negroes had been brought
in there to take the place of white labor, at
a reduction of wages. When the polls were
closed at one Of the precincts mentioned
it was found the commissioners of election
had not been sworn in, but the oath
was then administered and they proceeded
TO count the vote. The first decided evil
deuce Of fraud was apparent when the total
vote of the county was found to be above
400. When tie assessment was made,
here were only 200 tlthables found and
this large excess had fraud upon its very
ACE. The county, which has always been
reliably Democratic, gave a majority against
Wilson of l43, which subsequent disclos-
rres made plain. The local authorities
we're put in possession Of facts which showed
startling frauds and Mr.. Wilson went up on
Monday, to protest against them.
Prosecuting Attorney St. Clair had been
making investigations and discovered that
IN eastern Republican contractors IN one
f the mines had taken two car loads OF
negroes and voted them at two or three
different precincts. None Of them were en-
tiled to vote, but the ballots were not chal,
enged and in they vent. On election
| light, under cover OF the darkness, these
imported repeaters were taken east on the
hesapeake and Ohio road and returned,
roba6ly, to the eastern coast, where they,
ame from.
From all of the information %obtainable,
ne frauds are so glazing that there is little
oubt one precinct will be thrown out bodily.
eft to itself and with no unfair influences,
be county is certain Democratic, whereas
, this time returned a full Republican set
t officers andlgave a majority against the
tate ticket. The frauds are denounced, IN
lat section, in the bitterest terms.

Majority aud Plurality.

Quite a number Of communications have
3een received at this office, asking an eN-
olanation of the terms majority and plural
~. This may readily be done. Where
here arc but two candidates, as Wilson and
Maxwell, the excess Of the vote of one over
lie other is his majority. If there are three
r more candidates, the excess Of the vote
t one over the mex highest man is his
plurality; but ifthe vote of one should be
more than all the others together, he has a
majority. For instance, in 1850, Jackson
rad a pbrakty of about $4,000 over Stur-
giss: and as French's vote was about $4,000,
Jackson had a mGjoriy Of 5000 over all.
Il Ohio, Robinson has II 900 plurality over
Newman, but as the scattering vote amounts
% over IL 900, Robinson has no majority;
n other words, his vote is not more than
quail to the total vote cast for all other
candidates for the same office.

The Ohio Idea.

In csnvaseing the election returns in
Ohio county, W. Va, yesterday, some of the
Democratic bosses who talk a great deal
and think very little found what they think
vas the. ticket voted by Mr.. Lewis Baker,
cditor Of the REGISTER. Whether the ticket
found was his or not, it had the Democratic
candidates for Governor and Supreme
Judges scratched off and the names Of the
Republican candidates written thereon.
\ great hubbub was raised at once,
and the talk of boycotting the REG
lister was revived. This may have az
.crdcd relief TO the croakers, but the cure
viii finally prove worse than the disease
with which they were afflicted. The REGIS-
TER will continue to furnish news in West
Virginia, and the editor, by the proof Of his
monies, will stand marked in the commu-
nifty as one who has the courage ofhis con-
v%iciions, which never yet has been shown to
Ike irjury Of any man. In fact, we feel
..ac congratulating Mr.. Baker, of the REG
lS7Er, while Mr.. Caldwell and some of the
other lesser lights will undoubtedly be
hoist by their " petard.

ANOTHER GOOD MAN
Who Evidently Has Skipped by the
Light Of the Moon.
A Beef Managers Departure to More
cOageNiaI Chimes - Overhaul
ing His Books and
Accounts.

For some time past an almost indefinite
runor has been in circulation to the effect
that everything was not working all right
at the Wheeling Beef Company's Office.
This rumor originated in the fact that the
companys Office has been closed for some
time. Last week the affair reached a eli
max when it was known that Mr.. Rehm, a
prominent butcher of Bridgeport, had taken
charge of the business. Quite a number of
Il told you so people were easily found
after the change was made. The person
Who had charge of the Office and business,
prior to Mr.. Rehm stepping in, was a man
named F. L. Holmes, and Of him the busy
bodies had been talking for some time.
A reporter of the REGISTER called at the
company's office and interviewed Mr.. Rehm,
who at first seemed disposed to do very little
toward enlightening the general public, but
finally disclosed a few facts that showed why
Mr.. Holmes was relieved of his position. "ln
the first place said Mr.. Rehms, 'he-
Eolmes-would have secured the rebate on
the insurance on this building had not
tumbled to his little game, and ordered Mr..
Foose, the secretary of the insurance COM
pany, not to take the insurance of the build
ing as | had full charge, and Mr.. Swift, OF
Chicago. wished his building to be insured
The fellow, when informed by Mr.. Foose
not to give an rebate, replied, That is all
right and walked off. | do not know just
how much he is behind with the company,
but Judge it is about 5000. He has nothad
charge of the business here for several
months. That is all | know about the mat
ter"
Mr.. Rehm refused to talk further on the
subject, he and his clerk being engaged
going over the books and getting the bust
ness in irstclass order. While looking
over the effects in the Office, a dispatch
to Holmes from Mr.. Swift was found in
which he ordered Holmes to turn over to
the food sufferers of this city $500, and
800 to Bellaire. 500 to Benwood and
Sl0O to Bridgeport. Whether that money
was ever turned over TO the sufferers of the
iced by Mr.. Holmes could not be ascer-
tanned at this writing. Another peculiar
feature of Mr.. Holmes acts was this:
He rented a house Oh the Island
from Martin Thornton, the Market street
restauranteur, and got two gentlemen to 60
his security for the Re mt. Last week Holmes
and family decamped, turning the key OF
The dwelling over to the hired girl, telling
her TO take it to one Of his securities, and
that he did not owe any rent, having paid
it up to the first ofNovember. From what
could be learned afterwards it seems
Holmes Is now located somewhere in the
State of Nebraska.
