SDscidI 10 The ReristeT.

WASHINGTON, April 26-The announce
ment made by the Republican Congres
sionsl Committee that they intended 10 car
ry Eustacs Gibson's District, the Four'n
has caused quite a ripple amongst tn
West Virginia politicians and promises t'
lead to one of the greatest political hghu
ever made in the State.
1t is SAID here that they will commence
the fight by first trying to defeat Mr.. Ge
sons denomination, knowing that with him
out of the way the battlewould be half won.
Bat Mr.. Gibson's friends have no fear CT
this. They say bis nomination will be
practically unanimous.
Me- Gibson himself has no feSrd OF de
feat, and says that this determined effort OF
the Republicans to get him out OF their
way will only make his friends work the
harder and the Democracy stick the closer
to him.
Mr.. Gibson is understood to be hard at
work organizing for the fight, and when
one remembers his immense energy and
superior campaigning ability, he may be
safely trusted to get matters into the best
Of shape. Altogether, the Fourth District
may look for lively times this fall.

WHEREAS, The aiorem entioned proposi-
ton to put wool on the free list and the
uncertainty and doubt pending the aation

BROOKLYN, April 26-At meeting o.
the strikers at the sugar re6ueries in Viii
Eamsburg q committee was appointed tc
solicit contributions to assist the strikers.
The committee started at once on the work
and gathered in considerable money.
Among other places they called at Gilhg 8
drug store, at North Sixth and Fourth
streets.
How much are you ready to give to
help the strikersH' was asked Of Mr.. Gilhg
He said he hadn't made up his mind.
Then well give you two hours to make
up your mind," and with this threat they
left him.
Most of the small tradesmen give in to
this peculiar style of asking aims, as they
fear the boycott. The police as yet have
not given this matter the attention 1t de
serves.

wearing stolid and determined vissges
The red ribbons, which they say are mere
ly the insignia OF the unions to which they
belong, are conspicuously displayed upon
the lsppels of their costs. Guarding the
factories and the approaches thereto. are
small squads of police, whose badges OF
authority gisten in defiance TO the red no
bons of the strikers, while their long clubs
dsngle mtnacingly from their wrists and
convey the conviction to the ordinary ob.
server that they will be freely used should
an occasion arise. Although number of
infammatory speeches were delivered at
the headq quarters OF the strikers yesterday,
they seem to have had little or no effect
upon the passions of the men. 1t is ex-
pected the companies whose hands are ont
will pay the men what is due them this
evening. In this event some fears are ex.
pressed that the strikers will spend their
money in the beer shops that abound IN
the vicinity of the factories and another
conflict between them and the police will
follow.
