Hon. Daniel b. Lucas made q
rousing Democratic speech in the
Court house on last Saturday even
ing to an appreciative audience Of
ladies' and Democrats. 1t had been
announced that Hon. VIM. II. TRAY
ers also would speak, but owing to
an appointment made by the State
Committee for him to speak here
along with Congressman Snyder
on Thursday night, 18th instant, he
arose and said he would delay his
speech until that date. Mr.. Lucas
spoke IN his usual forcible manner,
and laid down some sound Demo
cratic doctrines, which showed his
Democracy to be of the purest type.
He discussed the tariff question at
length, and showed up the fallacy of
the Republican statement that the
protective tariff increases the wages
of laberers. He spoke of the impor-
tation of foreign laborers, of strikes
and the gradual gravitatiOn of CAPT
tai into the hands of the manufac
turers. He then closed with a grand
peroration on the administration of
President Cleveland. His speech
was strong and convincing, and is
regarded as one of the ablest deliv-
cred since the opening of the cam
paign. This speech was delivered
in Hampshire recently by Mr.. Luz
cas-, the following synopsis of which
we copy from the Romney InteUi-
geacer:
Mr.. Lucas said that his own opin-
ion upon the great issue of Tariff Re-
form had undergone no change, and
read an extact from his printed ad-
dress as Elector in 1876, in which
he advocated a return to the Revenue
standard of taxation. In that year,
1876, the average price of wheat in
Chicago was l.04l, wilhelm 1886, the
average price was II cents In Eng
land for the year 1876 the average
price was $l.2s cts, and in 1886 it
was 81 cts. He pointed out that
our prices were governed strictly by
the price in England, and that while
the farmer competed with the grain
producers of the world in the mark
cts of England, he was compelled to
buy all he needed in a market cut

ATTEMPTED SCANDAL.


A colored Democrat Of Charleston
called convention to nominate a
State ticket Of colored men. He
wrote letters to number Of active
Democrats asking them to help his
movement. They replied, expressing
a desire to aid and regretting their
inability to contribute to expenses.
The Intelliqencer captured these
letters and publishes them with q
great flourish of trumpets. We
doubt if there is an earnest party
worker, Republican or Democrat,
who would not have acted as these
gentlemen acted, were proposition
offered to split the vote of the oppo-
site party. The enterprise of the
Intelligence is to be admired and
its failure pitied. The scandal col
lapsed.'
Mr.. Creed Collins of Richie has
published very sensible letter in
answer TO the Mares nest" discov-
cred by the Rtcliigencer. he
says:
$50 far az the letters published
in the Mteliigencer purporting to be

The Shenandoah valley general
mortgage bondholders have wearied
of the inactien of the Norfolk and
Western, which owned all the CAPT
tai stock of the company, and the
committee has determined to give
up any attempt to reorganize under
the plans which were formulated
more than a year ago. But they
will continue their labors and will,
as soon as possible, prepare another
plan which will probably force the
Norfolk and Western to take some
immediate action. They do not an
ticipote any decision'in the suit to
invalidate a portion of the issue of
a first mortgage, until spring. The
decision in the lower court was in
their favor, and appeal was taken
by the first mortgage bondhoulders
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.--N. Y. Mail ank Express,

These gentlemen have had two
debates, at Phillippi and at Beverly.
The Intelligeacer says that Cot
routed Wilson, but the Register
SAYS Wilson routed Goff. We were
net present and do not know what
occurred. But this we do know,
Wilson's heart is with the masses;
he is man of conviction and cour-
age; he could not if he tried wear
the collar Of the money power, and
he cannot serve monopoly. Such
man sincere, aggressive and bold,
will always carry an impartial crowd
with him. 1t is true crowd does
not think, but it admires a sincere
and manly man. Gof is a eonsum-
mate politician. and next to Kenna
he is the most adrOit political man
aver in this State. Tie has never,
so far as we are advised, manifested
the slightest disposition to fight the
battles Of the unOrganized masses
against organized monopoly. The
rich and powerful reward faithful
services generously; the poor and
humble seldom appreciate their ben
efaetors. The rich aristOcracy re-
members its friends; the masses do
not. But for the moment while ex
citement prevails, and while 1.-The
touch of the elbows" lasts, such an
audience as that which met these
gentlemen in Barbour and Randolph
will believe Wilson rather than GOf.
Wilson is a man Of conviction and
means what be says. Herein lies
his hold on our people. He has
been prominently before them for
fifteen years and has never truckled
TO the millionaire influence" It's
absurd to tell us that Golf carried
the crowd with him and away from
Wilson. We admit he can do so if
the audience be composed of tariff
fed milliOnaires or of the railroad
lobby. Wilson, by nature, belongs to
that class who, like the DEMOCRAT,
has very little sympathy with those
who dress their servants in livery.
Unfortunately the Democratic party
is in this campaign so situated that
men like Cleveland and Thurman
who have always been faithful to
the masses, are handicapped by pol
iticians who truckle to the million
aire Influence and our party cannot
play it's strongest cards. But pre-
sently there will be an uprising of
the Burgher class, and then the true
Democratic creed will be preached,
and then livery and every humilia-
ting badge OF servitude will become
questionable both on railroads and
in palaces.

treated, under modern medical
schools and codes, with poisonous
and injurious drugs. This test has
been carefully pursued, until they
are convinced that the preparations
they now call Warmers Log Cabin
remedies are what our much abused
system require.
Among them is what is known as
Warmers Log Cabin sarsaparilla,
and they frankly announce that they
do not consider the sarsaparilla OF
so much value in itself as 1t is in the
combination OF the various ingredl-
ents which together work marvellous
ly upon the system. They also have
preparations for other diseases. such
as warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" Log Cabin
hops and buchu remedy" Warmers
Log Cabin hair tonic" They have
great confidence that they have a
cure for the common disease of ca
tarrh, which they give the name OF
LOG Cabin rose cream" Also q
"Log Cabin plasters," which they
are confident will supplant all others,
and liver pill, to be separately or
in connection with the other RENE
dies.
We hope that the public will not
be disappointed in these remedies,
but will reap a benefit from the in
vestigations, and that the proprie-
tors will not be embarrassed in their
introduction by dealers trying TO
substitute remedies that have been
so familiar to the shelves of our drug
gists. This line of remedies will be
used instead of Others. Insist upon
your druggist getting them for you
if he hasn't them yet in stock, and
we feel confident that these new rem
edies will receive appreciation at
our readers hands, as the founders
have used every care in their prepa .
ration

BEFORE IT is BORN.
Some Startling Statements of General
Interest.

Interest.
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on be-
ing asked when the training of a
child should begin, replied, "A hun
dred years before it is born"
Are we to infer from this that this
generation is responsible for the con-
dition of the race 4 hundred years
now
Is this wonderful generation the
natural result of the proper diet and
medicines of hundred years ago
1t is conceded in other lands that
most of the wonderful discoveries Of
the world in this century have come
from this country. Our ancestors
were reared in log cabins, and suffer
ed hardships and trials.
But they lived and enjoyed health
to ripe old age. The women OF
those days would endure hardships
without apparent fatigue that would
startle those of the present age.
Why was it Z.
One of the proprietors of the pop
ular remedy known us Warmers safe
cure, has been faithfully investigat-
ing the cause, and has called to his
aid scientists as well AS medical men,
impressing upon them the fact that
there cannot be an effect without
canse. This investigation disclosed
the fact that in the olden times sim
pie remedies were administered, com
pounded o. herbs and roots, which
when gathered and stored in the lofts
of the log cabins, and when sickness
came on, these remedies from natures
laboratory were used with the best
effects.
What were these remedies? What
were they used for b After untiring
and diligent search they have obtain
ed the formulas so generally nsed for
various disorders.
Now the question is, how will the
olden time preparations affect the
people of this age, who have been

should be managed without secresy

Judge Fleming met Golf at Bev
erly. He challenged him perempto-
rily. five may credit the Wheeling
Register, Fleming proved more than
a match for the Republican nominee.
Governor Fleming, the DEMOCRAT
salutes you. You have retrieved the
blunder Of the committee. You have
shown yourself wise than your Off
cial advisers. Make enc more step
in the right direction. Proclaim
boldly that you repudiate the doc
trine that a member of the LegiSla-
ture should violate a pledge to voters
on the faith of which he was elected.
The DEMOCRAT was the first paper
to advocate your nomination, and it
did so because il regarded YOU as
the strongest and truest man the
machine managers and railroad lob
by would permit to he nominated.
AS we predicted would be the
case, the contest has narrowed down
to question whether meney can
fool labor?
The election of Cleveland is, in
our judgment, the most important
matter ever before the people Of this
country. If he is defeated. those
who are fighting for the unorganized
masses will become despendent and
discouraged. The question is, wheth
er Money is stronger than the voice
of Reason: If so, then our system
of government is changed and has
become a government by million
aires, for milliOnaires by million
aires. This paper has the conf
dence of a good many Republicans;
they believe it would not deceive
them; we know it would not do So
We have thought this matter over,
and are certainly better acquainted
with the condition of the country
and with the policies of the two par
ties than the average farmer or me
chanic can possibly be. We unhesi-
tatingly say that were we 4 Repuh-
liean we would vote for Cleveland.
He and Thurman come nearer rep
resenting what the masses want done
than do the Republican nominees.

A reform party is made up of three

much; conservatives who ask too
little, and hypocrites who seek to
