CAMERON DEMOCRATS


Fail to lsaise a Polls After Six Exhaustive
4Gl . I;norts.
Correspondence oithe I%nttliigec1.
CAMERON, w. Va, September 27.-Tho
greatly advertised Democrutic rally and
pole raising to be addressed by Hon. John
E. kenna, IL. S. Walker and others at this
place today, was a fair and creditable
rally Of the Democratic hosts Of Marshall,
Wetzel and Greene counties, but the mole
raising was q failure. The iates we're
against the enterprise.
The pole WAS u beautiful one, 30 feet
long on the ground, but not high, us it is
still on tho ground. Coming events cast
their shadows. Early in the morning the
temporary platform arranged for Speakers
and covered with brush fell to the ground,
covering up completely MI under it.,
Strange to say n number OF folks ut once
propl,csied failure. Ono Democratic luldy
from Greene county, said that there was
no use for further fuss, she felt it in her
bones that the pole was no CO."
The pole fell several times and after nil
patlencean energywas exhausted, both OF
the energetlcm anascrsand the crowd, they
abandoned further effort and introduced
Senator kenna, who spoke for ono hour
with his usual effect. This was his first
appearance ut Cameron and the people
were pleased with his appearance, but
there were too many Republicans present
Tor q unanimous approval Of his speech.
Mr.. Walker waited NIL day until 5
o'cloyk tortlle pole to 60 up to make his
speech, and many wanted to hear him, as
they remember his canvass for Congress
sixteen years ago, but he had to leave for
~Aloundsville on the 5 o'clock train look
ing disappointed over the failure. It was
generally r1inored that many dollars Of
tho campaign fund were ioolishly spent
poles with which the writer iully
agrees. Many ladies' graced tho OCCASION.
Republicans feel really sorry that this
disaster to their Democratic friends oc-
Cured, as it is only to be followed by an.
other on the l4th OF October, and d still
on the 4th OF November next.
