SCOTCH THE SNAKE.

Leading Democrats of West Virginia have
Information of coalition of Republican
and Democratic monopolists and protection
lists which under the lead of sam Randall is
going to fight the Carlisle Morrison idea of
tariff reform. So strong is the impression
that Mr.. Randall is in the conspiracy that
call has been issued for mass meeting at
Wheeling on the 14th inst. of representative
Democrats from all over the State, to take
STEPS to counteract vigorous effort that is
being made by the monopolists and protec-
tioDists to form and consolidate a party
within the Democratic ranks for the purpose
of controlling the Democracy and thwarting
its efforts to bring about the much-needed
revenue reform legislation and to perpetu.
ate the present destructive tariff system.
The call urges prompt and efficient organ
ization of all elements opposed to monopo-
lists.
The alarm OF the West Virginia Democrats
is sounded none too soon. 1t stands the
Democracy of every State in hand to organ.
ize for vigorous defense against the assaults
Sam Randall and his Republican forces are
preparing to make upon the interests of the
country. Their purpose is, for the benefit Of
the manopolists of the New England and
Middle States, to strangle everylattempt at
legislation for reducing the oppressive tariff
under which the country is grooming. Sam
Randall and his following are determined to
make more than so. 100000 consumers suffer
merely to further enrich q few thousand
capitalists engaged in manufacturing. Let
West Virginia Democracy meet in force and
/ give forth an utterance of no uncertain
sound against the Rsndall-Republican COM
binstion, and then let the party of every
other State follow the lead of West Virginia.
The people of this country on the 4th of last
November issued demand for a reduction
Of the tariff. Now, let the people see to it
that their representatives heed that demand

mo, sir; no such thing ever occurred, nor
was there any offer made or bribe attempted

care to answer that question; do not want
to discuss it now. 1 wish you would say
nothing about it. There are such things as
hints, and winks and mods. 1 may believe
that there are men now downstairs in the
hotel lobby, in fact, am sure there are, but
I can not positively assert it. / do not
doubt but there were attempts to reach me.
The formation of the New York State Tenn.
perance Assembly was one OF these, and it
did, but not exactly as anticipated. But
do not wish to discuss the subject further"
Mr.. st. John here intimates that there
were attempts made to reach him by certain
parties. He denies emphatically that any
Democrat approached him. We hope the
truth will come. We believe that st. John
is telling the truth. He accepted no brides,
but if the facts ever get to light, 1t will be
found that some of the Sieve Elkins gang
are at the bottom OF this entire business.

This morning the thermometer registered
$50 below zero. The air was heavy with
frost, and the smoke was falling to the
ground in q dense cloud. One popularity of
our climate is Its extreme dryness in winter.
On account of this person will freeze and
be almost unconscious of it. You will

intensely upon exposing ourselves to the air

miles and who SAID he never rode more CON-
fortably in winter. The amount of oxygeR

feeling tired after walking few blocks.
