and Democratic

The Republican party, when in
power. levied = tax rate of twenty
FIVE cents on the one hundred dollars,
they levied in addition to this a build
ing tax of five cents on the one hum
,lred dollars. The Democratic party
has, with the exception of two wears
only, levied q tax-rate of twenty cents
on the one hundred dollars.
The Democrats party has then
only levied two.thirds of the taxes
that the Republicans levied.
The population has increased one
third; the expenses of government
have increased accordingly, yet the
auditors books show the taxable
property has not increased, yet the
Democratic party runs the govern
ment with its expenses increased one
third, for two thirds the sum that
the republicans ran it.,
How do they do it? By honesty
aud strict economy.
What dill the republicans do with
the revenue? They wasted it on pros
cription laws and registration boards.
What have the Democrats done
with it? They have paid the 100000
the republicans purloined from the
school fund They paid for the con
stitutioual convention, which abol-
ished suitorsv test oaths, lawyers
test oaths, teachers test oaths, which
gave to 10000 freemeu the right to
vote, and swept venal judiciary
from the bench. They have paid all
the expenses of the government.
They have paid the extraordinary
sum of 1852, 291.02 to complete the
hospital for the insane, the penitenti-
airy, the capital, the University, the
institute for the deaf and dumb, and
blind and the normal schools.
The Democrats have done all this
with the third Of the revenue which
the republicans did nothing but
squander.
Had the democrats levied the same
tax rate which the republicans did,
they would have had million dol
lars IN the treasury. They preferred
to let the people keep their money,
and not to tax them to death as the
republicans did.
The Democrats have a small debt,
this was legally contracted, and on
it they have paid 100000 of princi-
pal and interest and are fast wipine
it out.
The Republicans had debt lille
gallv contracted on which they paid
no interest, and the principal Of
which was paid by the democrats.
Under republican rule the taxes
were thirty cents on the one hundred
dollars and nothing to show for them
! Under Democratic rule the taxes
were only twenty cents, and the finest
public buildings in the South to show
! for them
Who do the people want to man
age their finances?-ET.

Smyth's house caught fire the other
day, but the flames were extinguished
before much damage had been done.
Eliza Davis threw a stone at his
cow the other day; he missed the
COW, but killed his turkey gobler.
He has the sympathy of his many
friends.
Miss Morris, of Stewartstown, has
been visiting friends about Maids
vile for several days past. Her
brother Nixon is also a frequent Wis
itor here.
Mrs. Mollie Waters is visiting her
old home after an absence of three
months. Her many friends are glad
to meet her again.
The fields are brown and bare and
stock are suffering for water. But
this drought is nothing to the famine
that will prevail in the republican
party after the election.

the State to do ministerial work.

The ResuItin Maine.

Maine has gone Republican by a
majority of about 10000 Well in
formed Democrats expected this re-
suit, and the Republicans hoped to do
much better, but put their estimates
low in order to get the moral effect of
a pleasant surprise.
The Greenback party is no longer
a factor in Maine politics It's mem
bers have gone back to their old party
affiliations. This being the case, the
Maine Republicans, with the fortunes
OF Mr.. Blaine in their keeping, might
well have been expected to poll a
fuller vote and show larger ma
jority than they have rolled up.
No party in any State has ever
made campaign under more favor
able circumstances than those which
have attended the Maine Republi-
cans this year. Thoroughly united,
with their distinguished leader at
the head of the National ticket, with
all the money they could use at their
disposal, they have made one of the
most thorough canvasses on record,
while the Democrats have given them
clear field, scarcely attempting to
do anything.
Under these conditions the gains
reported are not calculated to en-
courage Mr.. Blaine and his friends,
nor will they discourage Democrats.
In his own State, and having every
ing his own way, Mr.. Blaine falls far
behind the old-time Maine Republi-
can majority.
But this canvass in Maine has tied
Mr.. Blaine and his fortunes to Pro-
hibitien. His chances would have
been better in the close Republican
States of the West if he had been
defeated at home
One Of the significant facts in this
election is that the Democrats have
carried the two manufacturing cities
Of Lewiston and Biddeford, where
the Republicans pushed the tariff
to the front and kept it there. - Post.

The work of grading on this end

abutments OF the Decker's creek
bridge are finished
The abutments of the railroad
bridge at the mouth of Dccker's

water mark and are safe from any
fall floods which may come.
Work on the State Line, the new

Contractor Wilson has about rs men
at work south of Uniontown. The
road is already completed at Leith
and graded as far as Redstone, a
distance OF two miles. The grade is
good, and with the exception of a
little detour made to reach the Leith
coke works and secure share of the
coke there, the line is comparatively
straig -ConaeHsriHe Courier.
Judge Fleming at the special term
of Court held last week and on Mon
day of this week refused to admit the
replication Of the f.. M. & p. r. r.
Co.. in the proceedings brought by
that company in the matter of con.
demning the land Of the West Fair
mont and Consolidated Gas Coal
Company, and granted permission to
the West Va. Il Pa. r. r. Co., to
have commissioners appointed to con-
denim the land in controversy, which
was accordingly done. Court then
adjourned until the 9th day of Octo-
Der, at which time will be heard the
que tcarranto proceedings against
the West Va d Pa. Co. in the name
of the State at the instance of the f.,
M. Il p. Co, to show cause why its
charter should not be declared for
feited. 1t is the earnest wish of the
public that this litigation speedily
terminate and the West Va. q Pa
Co. be left free to construct its road,
which we understand it is now fully
prepared to do. We need such road
and the people and their interests
demand it's immediate construction.

The confidence whether real or af-
fected, with which the Republicans
started in on the West Virginia cam
paign, has grown small by marked
degrees and very appreciably less un-
til it has disappeared.
ut is merely question of finance"
said Mr.. Elkins, a month or two ago,
as confidently as if SO many cattle
were to be bought at so much head
and he had the money in his pocket
to pay the bills. But Mr.. Eikins is
wiser now than he was when he made
that remark. He has learned that it
is not "a question of finance but a
far more serious problem, and he has
ceased to express any confidence in
the ability of his party to carry the
State.
Democratic dissensions gave the
Republicans great hopes. They fill
ed their papers with lurid descrip-
tions of a fearful conflict raging be-
tween two hostile and implacable
factions. Instead of working togeth-
err for the accomplishment of COM
mon purpose, the West Virginia
Democrats were represented as util-
izing all their strength in a family
fight.
But all that was a delusion. There
IL harmony in the Democratic party

opposed the nomination Of Wilson

Z 5. Elliott. former student, has

his studies. While away from the
University he was in the employ of
Senator FL. G. Davis, as his Private
Secretary.
There are now in the corps, pres
ent for duty, four officers, four SER
geants, seven corporals and thirty
privates. Forty give in all. The
corp. is larger than it was last COM
mencement.
The recruits are fast assuming a
military appearance under the eff
Client Instruction Of Major Lee. They
will be ready to swing the musket in
few days. Last Monday they were
initiated into the mysteries of double
time.
The Literary Societies are well at.
tended now and the prospects seem
fair for good terms work. AL
though the higher authority" re-
fuses to aid them by making attend,
ance compulsory, yet we are glad to
see that most of the students appre-
ciate the advantages of literary work
enough to attend any how.
The student whom we spoke of
last week as wanting tickets for
two is happy now. One morning
last week the Chairman arose in
chapel and stated that he would then
and there relieve all students of the
necessity of calling on him for per-
mits to attend church. The boys
showed their appreciation by vocifer-
Gus applause.

the State are working manfnlly, not
because they fear defeat, but to snake

Attention Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of
the average physician is hard one.
He often is compelled to ride great
distances through mud and rain for
a merely nominal fee. 1t is not fit
nor proper for US to condemn any
physician for his work, but we do as
sert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures
by the proper and judicious use Of
Peruna. II he will only add this
great remedy to his list of medicines,
he will find that his usefulness will
be greatly increased. Full directions
for its use will be found in the ellis
of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book. Read the
following:
DIR. HARTMAN Peruna sells very
we'll here. ! have ordered several
lots since you we're here. 1t is a fine
remedy. w. w. STEELE, Druggist.

Political Sauibs.

A publisher in Ohio has published
a book for the benefit of republican
voters. He says in his circular
Chat not one republican in ten
knows why he is a republican" He
has told the truth, and had he said
one in every fifty he would not have
missed it much.
j. l.. Hays says in the Philadelphia
Press: 'sWe need a high tariff to
protect our manufacturers. and in
the same article he says: "Many
manufactured articles are cheaper
here than anywhere else on the globe.
We could send them to Europe and
sell them in competition with goods
manufactured there" Well if this
is true what good does a high tariff
do?
Gen. Grant objects to Cleveland
and gives his reason: "That Cleve,
land has not sufficient experience in
governmental affairs" Oh, We Gods
How much experience had Grant
when he occupied the executive
chair?
Geo. c. Sturgiss says the republi-
cans are going to carry West Vir
ginia this fall. Mr.. S. you are false
prophet.
Hoffman says maxwell is not a
greenbacker and never was. He has
always been opposed to those crazy
fanatics calling themselves green
hackers" What do you think of it
brother greenbackers, can you swal-
low Maxwell or will you vote for
Wilson true greenbacker at heart,
who has proven that he is so by his
votes in 1878 and 1880.
Greenbackers should look to the
qualifications of the men for State
Superintendent because Morgan is
as much greenbacker as Kendall.
A number of republican candidates
were in the court house yard the
other day discussing the reassess-
nent with number of farmers as
listeners. They thought the farm
ers were believing every word, when
Joe Wharton threw bomb into their
midst by offering ten dollars if they
would show single instance where
farmer pays tax more than once
upon any article in one year. Jones
tried to do so but signally failed and
offered to treat if Joe would drop the
subject. Jones, after admitting it
was false, said it was good political
thunder if they could make the peo-
pie believe it. GREENBACKER.

An ignorant republican campaign
committee over in Ohio addressed
letter to Hon. Lot M. Morrill,, late
U. S Senator from Maine, to come
into their State and help them. The
letter of course fell into the
hands of his widow, noble cultured
lady, and this is her crushing reply:
/ am in mourning for my husband,
but as much as 1 mourn his death,
thank my Father in heaven that
He called him home before the party
he loved so well and did so much for
had so disgraced itself as to nomi-
nate so wicked and corrupt man

of the American people as / know
and my husband knew James G..
Blaine to be- If he were alive he
would not support Mr.. Blaine, or any
such man, even at the bidding of his
party. CHARLOTTE MORRILL,.
Mrs. Morrill, knows whereof she
speaks, and the intelligent voters Of
the United States will not fail to give
attention to her words.

The friends of j. N. Kendall, the
Greenback- fusion candidate for State
Superintendent of Schools. are trying
to create the impression in some
parts of the State that Mr.. Morgan
is unfriendly to our State Normal
Schools. This is to our certain
knowledge untrue. Why should Mr..
Morgan be unfriendly towards the
Normal SCHOOL, His business and
social intercourse with Normal School
men have always been cordial and
pleasant and Normal School men are
amongst his warmest friends and
supporters. II this idea has been
circulated from the fact that Mr..
Morgan was educated in the State
University and not in Normal Col
lege, we would suggest that Mr..
Kendall is not ON as good footing in
that respect as is Mr.. Morgan. He
: was not educated in either Normal
School or University, but went over
to some one horse school in Ohio and
did not graduate there. After a
short term he came back to West
Virginia with q smattering of Yam
kee learning and set up as a teacher.
He may have had the capacity to
graduate but if so he had not the
staying qualities. Mr.. Morgan is a
West virginian, was educated in a
West Virginia institution, and is
