FAIRxoNr, ". Va. October 26.-I Exclu-

this town now and stay
week without talking politics or
reading newspapers he would be firmly con-
WINGED that Edwin Maxwell was elected and
that the days Of prescription had returned.
This opinion would be brought about by the
intolerant spirit exhibited BY some of our
Republican brethren and BY their harsh in
vectives against some Democrats who dared
influence weak kneed Fusionists to vote the
Democratic county ticket, As further
reason for the above opinion, Democrat
here engaged in the business of manutac-
turing furniture is the object Of boycott
ing scheme, which of course will result in
ultimate good to him when the affair be-
comes generally known. The Republicans
are badly whipped over the defeat
Of their county ticket, and they
attribute it all to Democratic corn
Juice and corruption. They never stop to
reflect that out of the three Republicans
elected here one went through on his per
sonal popularity, another on his family con-
nsctions, ard the third for the sole and
simple reason that the illicit whisky dealers,
with one exception, worked with whisky,
money and might for his election. This
statement cannot be refuted. We care little
about these wild rawlings Of people generally,
but when our own and only, highlyrespect-
ed, much-appreciated and thoroughly re-

whips itself into rage over whisky and
fraud and vents its fury on us wretched
Democrats in an endless array of those aw-
full quotation marks, we feel like We must
call halt and ask for quarter. We hope
matters will grow better, but we have little
hope that we will see better state Of affairs
here for some time yet.
The Democratic blowout which failed to
materialize on Wednesday night, will GER
tainly occur on Tuesday next, rain or shine.
Invitations have been sent to all the clubs
in this vicinity, and large delegations are
expected from Wheeling, Grafton and inter
mediate points Hons. Daniel b Lucas

should be fair the procession will be a mon

aroused to the importance of getting out
full vote for Cleveland, Hendricks, Wilson
and Reform. By the way, we predict that
VIM. L. Wilson will poll large vote in this
county. The slaughter Of the Greenback
candidates on both the State and coun-
ty tickets has disgruntled the Greenback-
crs, who acted honorably, but were not
fairly treated in return. No Greenbacker
was elected in this county and Horny
(handed) Spencer ran more than 60 votes
behind his ticket. This fact alone will give
Wilson many more votes than his party
polled at the last election and his we'll
known ability, which Mr.. Reynolds does
not possess, will also help him to great
extent, though it Was shown by the votes
that Frank Moetin received that RepubG-
cans generally, do not bank much on a

authority that a movement is on foot in
this county to have Greenback conference
looking toward fusion in this county four
years hence. We suggest that the meeting
be held in the Virginian Office and that
committee be appointed to take all necessary
measures to fuse all hands. We also nomi-
