and PLAYED % If the loss Of the game VA .
foregone conclusion.
Monroe was in the box for Canton, q
the Wheeling boys never could DO mucn

A JOINT DISCUSSION.

Flock-Master Jacob and Candidate Atkia-
son Have . Dsbats.
Yesterday was the last day Of the Poto.
mac Fair, and by the way II js ono Of the
best local exhibitions OF stock, fruit and
cereals to bsfound anywhere. There were
q goodly number OF neighboring farmers
and Aockmaytsrs present; also q large
number ofcandidates for the several county
aud other offices to say: Howdy, howdy
do to wife, self. etc. Among others WAS
our friend Geo. Wesley, who was
looking after his fences and other
wise cultivating the horny-handed
son OF toll. He was itching TO tell what he
knew about the tariff, and IL wasn't long
before he got accommodated; for be 10 said,
while the flock master and farmer amt
saying much, they are doing q tall lot OF
thinking. But to our story: Mr.. w. ran
foul of Mr.. Sprigg Jacob. n Of Ohio
county's sterling shsep raisers. The
colloquy quickly drilled onto the tariff, the
Mills bill and their effect on wool. Nj.
Atkinson. like all Republican stumpsrs
and candidates, attempted to lay the blame
of the low price of wool q few weeks ago
TO the Mills bill.
'If that be 60" qusrisd Mr. Jacob,
"how is IL that wool mas lately jumped up
five TO seven cents q pnundp"
This seemed to be . sumner for the doc
trinaire on cause and effect, 10 far "a they
relate TO the wool market, and 10 With IN
e~yasiye answer Mr.. w. turned TO the suit
Of clothes he was wearing and said: ''Now.
this suit cost me ten dollars, TO which
Mr.. Blank giving the name Of . prominent
clothier) will testify. II the entire tariff
On wool were removed IL would not be .
cent lower"
"How much wool Is there In that suiip"
asked Mr.. Jacob Of Mr.. w.
About five pounds" said the owner Of
the all-wool Ia Ia Mckinley ten dollar suit
BY this time the crowd OF Onlookers bsd
increased considerably, because Of the anil
mated discussion.
Five ~pounds?" said Mr.. jacob, fssiipg
the sleeve Of the coat with his experienced
