A Magnificent Demonstration in Mineral
County-Democracy Will Win.
PIEDMONT, September 9.-[Exclusive. l.
The largest political gathering ever held in
Piedmont was the occasion Of the Demo
cratic meeting on Saturday night last.
Trains from Elk Garden brought large
number of people, the Elk Garden brass
band accompanying the former delegation
The Cleveland and Hendricks marching
club of Keyser under command of Captain
George E. Price, numbering sixty men, ar.
rived early in the evening and
were received by the. Davis Democratic
Marching Club of Piedmont numbering
fifty men headed by the Gilbert Corner
Band aud commanded by Major s. D.
Woodrow, one of the oldest Democrats in
the State of West Virginia and well-known
to the citizens of Wheeling.
The Line of March
was then taken up, the clubs IN uniform
paraded the streets Of Weston, and returned
to the Opera House to hear the speaking
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. }.
P. A. Entler when the Hon. Henry G
Davis was invited to preside. Upon
taking the chair the Senator opened
the meeting with a, few we'll
timed and appropriate remarks, which were
warmly received by the vast audience pres
ent. He certainly must have felt gratitied
at the COZ dial greeting from his many friends
here. The Hon. f. Willis Wilson was then
introduced, who delivered one of his Wig
orous speeches, thoroughly dissecting the
Republican platform and Radical political
methods generally 1t was found, however,
that the Opera House was inadequate to
hold the immense assemblage, and
stand was erected on the outside of the
building, from which telling speeches were
delivered BY the Hons. b. F. Martin, Of
Taylor, and C. W. Daley Of Mineral. AT
the conclusion Of Hon. E. Willis Wilson's
speech. Hon W. l.. Wilson favored us with
one of his characteristic oratorical and con-
yincing efforts, which was received with
every manifestation of approval.
The meeting adjourned at IL o'clock
everybody voting the whole affair an i'm
mense success.

platform founded for the purpose of bring
ing together all the elements upon plane
ofcommon justice, under the constitutional
theory Of supporting the government BY the
revenue raised by imports. And upon this
platform Judge Brannon announced he
stood, unalterably and unequivocally, and
this is certain that he is committed to the
protection of every interest felt by every
man within the sound of his voice
Round Turn.
This enunciation gave the tariff question
q rounded turn and Judge Brannon pro-
ceeded to overhaul the Republican party for
its myri, misdemeanors. The interference
by Congress as Republican body, in 1867,
with the inherentright of a sovereign State,
in the administration of its police and fiscal
affairs, was eloquendy and bitterly denounced
and when the Judge before Heavens and in
the face of that audience denounced that in
famous and outrageous Presidential steal of
1876, the immense crowd burst into ire
mendous and continued cheers. The large
grants Of public laws to corporations made
by the Republican party was plainly and
particularly set forth-land that was &C
quired by the Democratic party aud given
to the nation as heritage for our children
-ruthlessly and corruptly huttered away to
enrich railroad corporations Oh! that
black Republican history How it rises up
to confront it at every turn! How that
party has forfeited every confidence reposed
in it and violated every trust committed to
its keeping
1t was ike a breath OF sweet, pure air
when the speakers theme was changed and
Grover Cleveland's fair name and pure
record were repeated, coupled with
the reputation and eminence of
Thomas A. Hsndricks. And this, with a
glowing, yet practical endorsement Of the
State ticket we're well received Judge
Brannon's description of the Republican
State ticket was rich and racy. Of the
private character of Judge Edwin Maxwell,
he had nothing to say, but he would say, he
was test oath proscriptionist, Sandwiched
in with Wes. Atkinson and the Wing end Of
the Greenback party. And it was little
singular that the Republicans in 1884 should
take up Judge Maxwell and Judge Brown,
both representatives of that pros
criptive policy which was repudiated in
West Virginia in 1871. With a reference
to Maine and its recent election, Judge
Brannon brought his able and interesting
address to a close, while the crowd Justify
applauded.
Col. D. D. Johnson, of Tyler county, was
then introduced, and made short speech,
touching briefly and pleasantly on various
interesting topics and pledging both State
and district TO the Democracy. His address
ended what was highly successful and en-
thusiastic meeting.

idea that Colonel Taylor, the prince Of the

south of the Ohio river during all IL, war
the idea that he is q better friend to re sol.
der than Warner, who was shot all to
pieces in the front of battle, is too utterly
ridiculous to deserve a moments consideta-
ton.
Misrepresentation.
As an instance Of the systematic misrep-
resentation of General Warner, Taylor has
had published all over the district that
Warner introduced bill giving 420 acres
ofland TO officers and only so to privstes.
He did introduce such BILL but il was q,
the request of a soldiers association in Mas
sachusetts, and the Record shows that it
was introduced "by request" II was .
copy Of an old revolutionary bill. fWar-
ner had refused to introduce this bill sen, in
by soldiers association, then, indeed. Tay.
lor would have had some ground to arraign
him.
In Conclusion,
will say that General Warmers campaign
is proceeding very satisfactorily here in
Guernsey. Last week he make speeches at
Washington and Byesville, both Of which
were very large and enthusiastic. If the
other counties in the district will do as well
in proportion as Guernsey, General Warner
will have $500 majority. We know Colo
mel Taylor here, and all his money will not
be able to buy a full party vote. The
friends Of General Warner have heretofore
abstained from making any personal
fight on Colonel Taylor, valuable as is his
record, but preparations are being made,
unless the dirty personal attacks on General
Warner soon cease, to publish the fact in
regard to the treasury trouble IN this
county few years ago, and this will make
manv hearts ache. The Democrats depre.
ciate such a campaign, but the facts and
evidence are being put in shape and will be
published, if this style Of campaigning is
permitted to proceed GUERNSEY
