hospitality, and no one deserves IT more.
As a rule Wheeling stands in the front hne
in the same respect, bat occasionally she
makes break that causes US 70 over into
Ohio and weep there good while Nobody
ever goes from Parkersburg to Belpre to
weep. This is no reflection on Belpre. 1t
is to the credit Of the Oil CITY, -
|EWEH The saloons. ~
Imade round Of the saloons last night.
/ don't drink. simply wished to see II
proper arrangements had been made for the
reception of the party of morality. Two
hours speu, in the dispensaries of cereal
iuice and effervescence ofdecayed yeast and
hops, gives me sufficient grounds for assert,
ing that the iwellers in Mcdonald and the
inhabitants Of Hancock can procure stimn-
lants abundantly in case Of chill. don
believe that temperance, or, rather prohioi-
ton, should be injected into politics, out
since our erring brethren Of the moral party
are so stuck on it, | want to lift their bangs
out of their eyes and unstop their ears for q
limited portion Of duration, while l call
their attention to some mighty
Plain Facts.
/ Saloons, says the party Of morality, should
90. Without arguing the question, wish
10 say thst pMkersbnsys offers good field
for the should e" business. In this city
of good people are some Of the meanest sa'
loon keepers this side Of Chicago | am
told of one saloonist who allowed an old
man to pawn his shoes for drink. The
daughters, by washing out earned money
to redeem them, on the promise OF the sa'
loon keeper to sell the old man no more
whisky. The very next day the shoes we're
on the liquor dealers counter. The daugh.
ters, broken down in health, are now sut-
ering in poverty. Another case: A saloon
keeper Of this city knowingly sold hquor to
girls under age. Still another gave whisky
to boys Of 10 and IL years ofage. The Re-
publicans have the power to end these
things. Why don't they doit2 They sit in
public places with faces as long as the road
TO Emmaus, aud weep tears as eloquent as
the Mornt of Olives but they don't do any
thing. Will the cock ever crow GU this de-
nying PeterH
What of the Morrow.
There are two things on which | would
not bet under any circumstances, The ac
ton of the c,nvertion tO-mo row, and the
weather report from the Signal Service
office. A despt rate fight will be made to
retain Maxwell on the ticket, and an equal
" determined attempt will be made to re
tire him from active service. The struggle
will cause heart aches and much pain, and
yore will be carried from the stage III suck
cts while tie crimson life fluid will fill the
cutters from the Custom house even unto
he Office of the State Journal. If | wer
10 make an off hand guess that would cos
me nothing if missed, I would say Max
well will stay on the ticket.
For Butcher.
| am surprised at the strength Of the
movement to leave theplace for superinteud
ent Of free schools vacant and support
Butcher as an independent candidate. If il
were certain Butcher would accept the place
would be left open without doubt. don't
know that Rutcher would run, but do
know that if be did he would get the biggest
majority ever given a candidate in West
Virginia.
Harmony.
am looking for harmony on every train.
She will be here and play a star engage
ment with rip roaring support by en- en-
tirely different company from that which
appeared at Wheeling. Joe Gallagher and
Tom 0 Brien's hiss solos will be missed but
it is hoped that by hypodermic injections and
liberal use Of stimulants this disappoint-
ment may be overcome. ID.
