THE NAIL rsApE.
Facts Elected at the Meeting show n. Good
Condition.

Facts Elected at the Meeting show 4. Good
Condition.
A special meeting of the nail manufac.
turers was held at the office of the Iron As
~sociation rooms on Fourth Avenue Wed
Aesday afternoon. Gen. Ftzhugh presided.
The meeting was an unusually large one,
which is possibly owing to the fact that it
was the first held FOX a period Of over four
months. Representatives of the nail indus.
try from Indiana, West Virginia, Wisconsin
and other points were present. The
session lasted from 10 o'clock a. m, until 2
the afternoon. 1t was held with closed
doors and special instructions were given
the secretary TO give no information regard
ing the proceedings. In the call issued for
the meeting no definite reference was made
TO its object. The circular merely requested
"a full attendance, as matters of importance
TO the trade would be discussed. After the
meeting adjourned g Pittsburg Pos; repre-
sentative encountered several of the visiting
delegates, but they absolutely and uncondi-
t%ionallv refused to be interviewed.
A. +. Heating, Of Tug & Co, who vas
subsequently, found, stated that the meeting
had no special significance. 1T was cali
ed" he said, for the sole purpose of discuss
ing the condition of trade and other matters
which only interest the manufacturers. We
had no meetings for the last four months,
and wanted to resuscitate the organization.
The regular meeting will take place on the
second Tuesday Of December, and it will
doubtless be fraught with more important
developments. We made no change in the
card rate, did not orders suspension, and in
act took no action which interests the pub
lie particularly.
How is the Lail trade at present. was
asked. Mr.. Heating replied that although
it is not and has not been what the manu-
facturers desired still he believed it was on
a fair way to recovery. He saw no reason
why trade should not pick up right away
and had good reason to believe 1t would.
At the meeting stocks were reported light
from all quarters. 1t was learned from a
reliable source that manufacturers had
been cutting rates to an unprecedented ex-
tent, and that this was the main object IN
calling a special meeting. The card rate
is 81 40 but orders have in several in
stances been placed at 81 90, and within a
few weeks prior to election at Il lover figure.
During the present week the demand has
been somewhat stronger. The steel nail
seems to be playing a very important part
IN the market Just now. Although quoted
at 10 cents per keg advance on the price Of
rhe iron nails, many consumers are pur-
chasing small lots as experimental orders
ard the impression prevails that much OF
the present iron nail trade will be succeeded
by the steel product once its success is fully
established and a regular and uniform pro-
duction is arrived at.

The nsnwood Matter SIN Unsettled.

10 ~" EdH0r q NE hTyIitFs
BENwooD, November l2.-Some Of our
Republican friends seem to be terribly ex-
ercised over the charge of fraud and decep-
ton alleged to have been practiced By scme
members Of their party at the recent election
in thus place. The Democrats here refuse
to be drawn into q newspaper controversy
about the matter, neither will they be pro,
voked into q disclosure of the information
they are o in possession of. Suffice it to
say that, believing the charges to be sub
s~tautially true, the necessary steps have
been taken, under careful legal advice, to
contest this poll. Judge Brannon's friends
viii see TO it that fairness and Juice prevail.
The charge was never made, and we do not
make it now, that all the Republicans here
were implicated in the deception, for we
have as honest Republicans living in our
midst as ever drew the breath Of life, and we
know they would not stoop &c the low, des.
picable acts some of their would-be leaders
resorted to. In conclusion, We say. once
for all, that time and place will be afforded
these gentlemen to diSproye the charge.

Where were the Republicans?

"hSA Z hAS
No Pluned knights graced the parade.
Twelfth street, above Chapline, was hand
somely illuminated.
Bushrod Price could not control his en-
thusiasm and did not try.
THAT same old COON" caught and killed
at last, was frequently seen.
Martin Thornton hung his banner on his
restaurant walls and was ecstatic.
"Three cheers for Dave Brooks" were
given when his home was passed.
Allen Brock made the river front of the
Island sparkle with fire works.
The residence of Mr. John Hobbs was
one of the sights of the entire affair.
The beautiful decorations Of the South
Side drug store were generally praised.
An elegant silk banner, carried by the
First ward club, was much admired.
For decorations, the South Side takes the
cake. It's there that Democracy dwellS.
Radical roorbacks were plentiful, but they
could not dampen that enthusiasm. Not
any,.
Left, left, Blaine got left" wasa f~avorite
marching refrain, varied by Jimmy, the Jig
is Up
A carriage load of fireworks exploded on
Sixteenth street, making things very lively
about there.
Of course there was some shouting for
Blaine. Blaine? Blaine? By the way who
was Blaine, anyhow?
The cannon doomed during the whole
lime and each laundering reverberation
chilled sad Republican hearts.
Bellaire celebrates tonight. They turned
out nobly to help us and our boys should re-
urn the compliment. Let as many as can
90 down tonight.
There were some cases of Radical out
rege. Of coarse. One of the Richland horse
men was struck BY a brick, at the corner Of
Thirty-ninth and Eoff, but if the scoundrel
who threw it could have been caught, his
lime for prayer would have been short.

THE RAT
Wheeling outdid herself in the way of
decorations and Examinations. If she did
well before, this time she did ~glorionsly.
Tie admiration Of the coolest spectator was
compelled by some of the gorgeous displays
made in honor OF the great national victory.
1t had been the intention of the writer to
~individualize on the decorations, but why
print a Democratic directory of Wheeling?
All Democrats decorated according to
their means. and when the poor man swung
out his single flag il was. cheered just
as were the splendid adornments OF
the man of wealth. Some of our
well TODD citizens certainly did excel them
selves, IN decorating their homes, and to
them all the more honor. They inspired
the bows and helped make the affair the
brilliant success it was.
IT MAS GRAND
and every one says so. The tired maTchers,
when the tramp was over, owned it was the
victory it was and went to bed happy.
They had painted the town red; they had
u n q requiem over the breaking Repub-
iean heart and they were satisfied.

WHEELING, November l3.-The taxpayers
Of tire city OF Wheeling irrespective of party
T~oliliCs denOunce the manner in which our
city government has been eXtrlyagaully run
for the pas, two years detrimental to the in
terests of the Taxpayers of Wheeling aud
especially 20 the poor workingmen who have
heretofore made a scanty living by working
on the streets Of our city. But since the
government Of our city has been placed in
the hands or under the control Of two or
three Aunkeys who disregard their supervis
ors' orders-they have deemed it proper in
their estimation, to hire csrpetbaggers
from other cities and States to come here
and perform the work at least from
twenty-five to fifty per cent lower than 1t
could be done by true experienced aud COM
petent practical residents of Wheeling. 1t
is q hidden mystery to the great bulk of our
p~oDulace that such an outrage upon our
tax PAYERS should be permitted to eXiSt.
Time after time we have protested against
the importatiOns of foreign laborer 10 de-
prive our fellow workmen Of earning IN
honest living In the present case our

present the tax collector will not fail to call
and demand his taxes and we must comply
with the command, no matter where the
money comes from. But those tramps and
carpet baggers who are living high upon
the tax payers Of our city do not
as much as pay their head taxes
here. AS soon as they draw
their monthly salary they send it to their
bones in other States. How long will the
people of Wheeling submit to such M out
rage is a question OF time. The day is not
far distant when we shall be called upon to
elect city officers and also a Council to act
as cur servants and not as our masters. |
would respectfully suggest to my co-workers
in this cause that we shall not support any
man for Council that will not pledge him
self to use all honorable means that the
work Of the city shall be done BY its "
citizens and not by stragglers and spongers
from other States and cities.

A Pleasant Evening Spent with the Bur
mese Christian.
4 large and intelligent audience assem-
bled in the Opera House last night to see
and hear the scholarly Burmese, Sau-ah
brah, who has attracted so much attention
in many OF our large cities. He was intro
duced by the Rev. DR.. Cunningham, who
,tated that he had seen and heard him on
TWO evenings in succession in Chautauqua
last summer. The first night he was
greeted with an audience of 5000 people,
and the second evening over 5000
we're present. The entertainment last
night from first to last was novel, ~instruc-
live and humorous. The people were con-
vulsed with laughter every few minutes, and
at times we're almost sabdued to tears.
Brilliant illustrations and descriptions were
given in such rapid succession that you felt
hat you were in some fairy land. Sau.ah-
brah speaks English Huently and is well
educated. He is quick in his perceptions
of the droll and ridiculous in life, and on
the instant he can reproduce them. And
he does not initiate, but actually reproduces
them. His power lies in the wonderful
way in which he impersonates his won
derful people, and describes and acts out
their social life and sings the songs of the
Orient. But it is impossible to fully describe
this novel and rare entertainment. 1t must
be seen to be fully comprehended and
euioved. The citizens of Wheeling will
have the opportunity of doing SO tonight, as
he will give another entertainment with a
change of programme, which will be just as
interesting. A few reserved seats car yet
be secured by applying early at Banners
music Store. The largest audience is always
present at the second entertainment. The
Nashville American says: "Sau.ah.brsh is
an adept at making his evenings pleasant
