rounding Towas. f,ua

If there was any backwardness IN opening
the local campaign. some time ago, that IS
all over now and never, in the early August
of a canvass, was there more general inter-
lest and enthusiasm Wheeling has fairly
outdone herself in the formation Of march
ing and campaign clubs, and within a month
no ward or locality will be without its club
and no active worker will be missed in the
enrolment. Sunday alone finds the streets
quiet; on every other night the sound of the
drum and the hoarse command can be
heard, and bodies of men and boys can be
seen drilling on available spaces, The in
lection has extended from the Oldest to the
Youngest and it is difficult to. say which age
is the most excited.
In point of numbers and Of clubs, the
Democrats are in the lead. The Jefferson
Club is constantly increasing its member
ship, while the Escort club already numbers
nearly FIVE hundred voters Ths Junior Or
ganization has been perfected aud great
many youths enrolled, while still another
uniformed club ofyoters is In process Of
formation. In nearly every ward the Dem
ocratic organization has been completed
and already three Democratic poles have
been reared--the only ones in the county.
The Republicans, except with their clubs,
are on a still hunt and doing their utm ost
to perfect their organization and fight their
weak county ticket through. The contest
in this county will be close and by hard
work and their strong ticket alone must the
Democrats win.

A Woman Who waS Hfourned for a. Dead
Comes Home.
On Sunday morning September iOth,
1882, says q Pittsburg exchange. an IN.
known woman was found near the north
shore in the Allegheny river. short dis.
lance below the dam. mile above Sharps-
burg, She was removed to the undertaking
room Of Joseph Holzheimer. where out of
several hundred who viewed the remains, no
one seemed to know her. She was appar-
emily about sixty-6ve years old and dressed
in black, She was buried the following day
at the expense of the county. The descrip.
ton given caused q jeweler from Allegheny
whose wife had left HIM a few days before;
to think it was her body, and the grave was
opened, but it was found moi to be the miss
ing woman. More than a week after the
woman was buried, a woman named Kouch,
Who lives a1sut eight miles from Sharps-
baIg, on the Pittsburg and West
esa Railroad, claimed the dead
woman as her sister and in order to as
certain the truth the remains were exhumed
the second time. They were claimed BY
Mrs.. Kouch' who said her sister had been
masyied to farmer named Toepfer near
Hiis's station, from whom she separated.
Toepfer was told of the discovery and paid
the Bills for the funeral. Toepfer bought
farm in Dakota and with some Of his chill
dren be moved out to it, while the old home
stead near Hite 8 was left under the care of
the swO eldest children. About week ago
an old woman called at the house of Mrs.
Koueh and to the amazenent Of all, she
turned out to be Mrs. Topples. She stated
that after she had left home she went to
friends in Wheeling She came back in
order to again live with her husband, but
on beng told that he had gone West she
concluded not to follow him She remain
ed lew DAYS with her sister and then re-
turned to her friends in Wheeling. Every
effort has been made to keep the matter a
secret, but as it has leaked out parties have
already written Toepfer in the West, and
word has been sent to his two children on
he farm near Hites.

The Latter Kicking for Proportionateiy
Larger Pay.
The nail men are creating a quiet little
breeze in the Amslgamsted Convention in
session at Pittsburg. They have some
grievances which will doubtless be brought
before the convention for settlement. The
trouble is not between the manufacturers
and nailers, but between the feeders and
nailers. They held secret conference at
President weihe's Office, but what coucIu.
81, n was reached they refuse to state. The
feeders, from what information could be
CLEANED from one of their number, are far
from being satisfied with their present
allowance, He said they were not paid by
the manufacturers, but by the nailers. In
the West they are given two-ffths for all
nails under 6-pennies, and one-hslf for nails
above this size. ave are going to make
an efort," said one of the delegates from
West Virginia, Ito have our scale increased.
We want one-hslf for mails under 6-pennies
and two-thirds for sizes larger than this.
"At present the nailors have too much of
benefit of our labor. The proportion, we
think, is not what it should be. We have
called the attention of the convention to
this matter before, and we are going to try
and have the question considered this time
in favorable manner. Outside Of this one
question we have but little interest in the
convention"
The nailers are also complaining. 1t has
been the custom for some time for them to
pay one- half the cost of their dies used in
cutting the nails. Since the introduction of
n finer grades of steel this cost has grown

ENTHUSIASM IN THE STATE.

Mr.. Robert Simpson, who has just return
ed from Trip through Hampshire, Hardy
and the adjacent counties, made a little
speech to the Jefferson Club, last night.
He has made many such trips, but he said
he never saw so much energy and enthus-
asm as are being displayed by the Demo-
Gratis in that section. Heretofore, there
has never been full Democratic vote out,
tor the simply reason that the large major
ty in the State made it unnecessary; but
the Republican boast that Blaine would
carry West Virginia has thoroughly stirred
up every Democrat and the vote this fall
will be unprecedented Democrats who
have not voted since the war are now coming
to the front to show these Boosting RepuL H.
cans that the Mountain State WILL ever De
true to herself and her Democracy.
A Republican who has Just returned fr, IN
the Third district and who declines to ~
ow the use of his name, said to REGISTER
reporter, yesterday: There is no use at
tie npting to deny the fact that the nomira-
ton of Maxwell struck chill to the heart
ofevery Republican in the Third district
They absolutely despair and when Re-
publican despairs you may know how deS-
perate the case is.
