SENATOR WARFIELD'S OBSERVATIONS
UPON THE OHIO CANVASS.

SENATOR wARFIELD's OBSERVATIONS
UPON THE OHIO CANVASS.
State Senator Edwin " ar6eld; of
Howard county, Md; who has been in
Ohio, acting under orders of the National
Democratic Committee, arrived in Baltl-
more from New York last Sunday night.
Mr.. Wa1feld left Baltimore for New Y ork
September q, in answer to q summons
from the National Committee. He was
intrusted with the duty of following up
Mr. Blaine on his Western tour, and ad-
visjng them as to the condition of the
Democratic canvass in that State. There
was no secret about bis mission, and he
was much in company with the newspaper
correspondents.
Mr.. WaIfield went through Central New
i ork and Ohio, along the same route as
Blaine party, and saw great deal of the
Ohio canvass. He says that as a rule the
enthusiasm along the route was of an offi-
cial and manufactured sort, while every
where he saw evidences that the tide or
popular sentiment was in Cleveland's
favor. Mr.. Blaine, he says, looked worn
and haggard when not braced up for ex-
hibition. In Ohio at his stopping places
a stand had been put out for him and the
clubs were ordered out. Blaine would
show himself on the stand. and Judge
Tenney, of Brooklyn, or Gov. Foster, of
Ohio, would call for three cheers. At
only q few places, however, was there
what struck Mr.. Walfield as genuine po-
pular enthusiasm. s'What ! consider en-
thusiasm.' ~ said Mr.. Warleld, sis when a
man throws his hat up as If he didn Il care
whether he got it back or not" Tne only
place where there was anything of that
L..
Tucked really happy. The stand broke
down under him there.
At Massllon there was tremendous en-
thusiasm. bit it was for Congressman
Mckinley. The cheering for Blaine was
feeble to that for Mckinley. At Toledo,
Mr. Patrick A. Collins, the eloquent Irish
American, spoke the same night as Mr.,
HIaine, and there was Democratic pro-
cessiou folly as large as the Republican.
The Democrats marched down the same
street as the Republicans, and banners
with such Inscriptions as Burn this let
ter "Give my regards to Nara. Fisher,''
&c, were borne In review before Blaine.
At Portsmouth,, as Mr.. Blaine was about
to get in his carriage to rice to his special
train, number of men were riding about
on horseback hurrahhing for Cleveland.
Mr. Blaine seemed to be very nervous, |
and drew back saying u won't G /; you
inaus5 clear the way frst.n
Mr.. Warfiald SAYS that the result in |
Ohio is considered by the National Com |
mittee substantial Democratic victory. |
The Republicans gained over l 900 votes |
in Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton AID Cinciu-
natl, in which eitlfs the d ational Repub-
Iisan Committee, represented by Dudley |
and Filey, concentrated their Efforts. |
The State outside of these cities went
Democratic. In the rural districts where
soap" could hot readily be employed, the
Democrats made gains.

Democrats increased their vote, and the
vote in the Western Reserve disappointed

THE OLD WHIG TARIFF.

Two weeks ago we published an extra ct
from speech delivered in Congress by
Hon. Alexander III. II. Stuart in 1882,
when that now venerable statesman was
serving his people so acceptably in the
House of Representatives. Below we ap-
pend extracts from speeches of Henry
Clay, the pride and pillar of the old line
Wings, so many of whom in this county
have proved true to themselves and their
country by uniting with the present Dem
ocratic party.
In 1888 Mr.. Clay said: ST am anxious
to find out some principle of mutual &C
communication, to satisfy, as far as practi-
cable. both parties-to increase the sta
bility of our legislation; and at some dis
tant day-but not too distant-when we
take into view the magnitude of the
interests which are involved-to bring
down the rate of duties to that revenue
standard for which our opponents have so
long commended"
just before leaving the Senate, in 1912,
he offered some resolutions in regard to
the policy to be pursued by the govern
ment, IN support OF which he said: "Let
me not be misunderstood. and let me en-
treat that may not be misrepresented,
I am not advocating the revival of a high
protective tariff. I am for abiding by the
principles of the Compromise Act; I am
for doing what no Southern man of fair,
candid mind has yet denied-giving to the
country revenue which may provide for
the economical wants of the government
and at the same time give an incidental
protection to our home industries. If
there be single gentleman who will deny
the fairness and propriety of this, 1 shall
be glad to see and hear who it 30 In the
same speech he said: "We are for reve-
nue-for an amount Of revenue adequate
to an economical administration Of the
government. We can get such revenue no
where else than from tariff on importa-

POLITICAL NOTES AND
COMMENTS.

The Republicans were able to ccncen-
trate all their money and all their cheat
ing and buIldozing ON one point Tuesday.
In November they bave to fight all along
the line and scatter their forces.
In brief the result of the last political
battle is very encouraging to the Cleve-
land hosts. In Ohio the Democrats have
very materially lessened the Republican
majority, cutting it down from 1905 in
October, $780, to about 10000, and in
West Virginia they have increased their
own majority by 5000 or 5000.
S. T.. Suit, a Maryland Republican of
stalwart proclivities; has ST. $50 staked on
Cleveland's election, and is looking for
more customers, having 900 more to
put up "in lots to. suit" He believes that
Cleveland's election has ceased to be mere
hypothesis.
The Ohio State Democratic Club has
issued the following address to the Ceve-
land and Hendricks Clubs Of that State:
"Appreciating the great service you
have performed in saving the State frou
an overwhelming Republican victory and
in reducing the majority below 5000, not
outstanding the great corruption prac-
tised by the enemy, we now appeal to you
to turn out every man, on November 4
next, impei'ed by the high commanding
principles of reform and Democracy, and
we expect of you that your respective
townships and wards will show as well, If
not better, than on last Tuesdays cleo
ton. Ten thousand repeaters will be ab-
sent from the State in November, and the
corruption fund OF the enemy is exhaust
ed. If you will do your duty we will
carry Ohio by 10000. We ask you to do
your duty"
We have the strongest ground of reli-
ance on all the Northern States which
gave their electoral votes to Tilden and

One of MIR. Blaine,s morning organs o

One of Mr.. Blaine's morning organs of
Washington says that five hundred and
twenty seyen Confederate soldiers, now
resident in Rockingham county, Va,
have invited General Logan to ad-
dress them, and, though heretofore Dem
ocrats, every one of them will vote the
Blaine ticket On the 4th proximo. Next
to Mahoneite, Blaineite is most con-
spicuous for his recklessness of assertion.
Every one who is at all acquainted with
Rockingham county knows that there are
not i've hundred and twenty Confederate
soldiers remaining in that county, and, If
there were, certainly every one Of them
would not desert his party. for, as General
Early says. the next thing to deserving
ones army in time of war is deserving
ones rartg ia time Of peace, and Coufed-
crate soldiers are NOT that sort OF cat

THE CONVENTION.

From the unpropitious beginning OF
Wednesday the convention reached better
results than was to be anticipated. The
unaminity with which the Charleston plat
icrm was re-aairmed relieves the Demo
cIatic party of the State Of the responsible
ity of the Supplemental Assessment and
leaves it to rest Just where the REGIsTEs
has always said it should resi-, with the
Governor and Auditor. The significant fact
that the convention adjourned with
out passing the resolution so customary in
State conventions of comphmenting the
Administration is of itself evidence that the
party does not undertake to shoulder the
blunders of the Administration. While the
convention was different from any political
convention that we have ever had in this
State, and some ofits features were such as
not to commend themselves to conservative
people. Still it has reached better conclu-
sions than were at one time expected,
and conclusions that are worthy
the respect and commendation Of
the party it represented. Now
that the party council is ended and
our family fights are over the Democrats Of
the State will fall into line and at the tap Of
the drum march forward to achieve victory,
and give to our leaders loyal adherence as
long as they prove themselves worthy of our
efforts. Our business is to give West Vir-
ginia's vote to CLEVELAND and HENDRICKS
in November and in order to do that We
must elect WILSON in October.

The fact that Mr. WILSON in all of hiss
speeches throughout the State denounced
the Supplemental Assessment order as he
did all the executive usurpations, and the
fact that the State House crowd went to
him in the convention as the only posi-
bic way to defeat FAULKNER for whom they
entertained hatred is evidence that bis
election does not mean an endorsement Of
the administration. Besides that Mr.. Will
son has always Seen true and consistent
Democrat aud has never affiliated with
boilers. A WILSON administration means
