After ALA Valuable Table.
FAIRNoST, September IL Exclusive.
Our own dearly beloved Spencer W.
Sturm puts high value on himself He is
to have $1,000 for h;a part In the Fusion
campaign. Freer objects to such an enor-
nous price being paid for such a useless
article, and expresses himself in this Ian
guage: 'Is yo1 can get $1,000 from the
Republican Executive Committee, | cer-
tainlE have no objections, neither ill Our
canmittee have, assure you, but we will
still remain Of the opinion that il is more
than one mar ought 70 receive for his ser.
vices il this campaign, unless he Is labor
ing only for money consideration. More
tkan any one man ought to received Freer
is doubtless. right as regards Spencer, for
we can furnish him an unlimited
number of such things, with
the privilege of throwing them
in the river, for SOC per dozen. II Spencer
is to have 81 600, what a poor apprecia-
ton they must have Of James Conway,
when they write him to 60 to work and use
influence" to the amount Of $40" This
latter thing is most ridiculous The very
idea Of James ConaRay being worth $50 in
campaign, when his own son viii not vote
for him, is extremely amusing. The things
that have come to light recently show just
what there is in fusion. Greenbackers who
can be bought for from $50 to $1,000 are
to be paid the amounts agreed on tor their
vote. That is the amount Of it, for they
Can't Control Anything.
The whole fusion affair is little scheme to
get fossils into office. This is the 'fossilif.
erous era in history, but West Virginia will
not be down in the fossil column this fall
not by about 10000. We do not vet know
how much George Manley will be paid for
his influence" but we would respectfully
suggest Ct cents as about the proper
amount That person who advised the
Blaine and Logan Juniors, and contraband,
to save their uniform money for campaign
purposes were figuring on something like
this:
james CcnOway, supposed influence. 10
B. f. Martin, Jr do .......... 90 %
Eli l. Parker, .J ....... ....... l2@
Total OF soap required ...... ...."s2O ~
That the uniforms have been bought, we do
not know where the soap can be raised, but
the county court can refund to Geo. Manley
&c for taxes erroneously assessed, and that
will dispose of that part Of it. 1t is prob
able that Campbell lido" will be appoint
ed Secretary Of the Treasury in order that
cranky Frank Martin may be properly soap
ed, but Crane and Parker being Republicans
will whistle. Spencer W. Sturn and Jas. Z.
Conaway should exercise more care about
their confidential correspondence. They
gave themselves wav.
Elegant Reception.
Last evening Hon. and Mrs. Jas. Morrow,
Jr., gave an elegant party to large num-
Der of their young friends, in honor OF their
guests, Misses Davis and Heath, of Missis-
sippi. The spacious and elegant mansion
was brilliantly illuminated, and was filled
until late hour with gay company, who
enjoyed themselves as onl y the guests OF
Mr. and Mrs. Morrow do. Dancing was
the order of the evening. At IL o'clock re-
freshments were served, after which dancing
was resumed and kept up until the "wee
sma hours,' when the company took re-
Iuctant departure, all voting it the most
pleasant and brilliant affair of the season.
The host and his excellent wife entertained
royally, and were assisted by their charming
daughters Misses Charlotte and Msggie.
