Wool Growers Leaving the Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Pa, July 6.-The polit-
ical revolution among Washington coun-
ty wool growers this year promises start
ling results. Hundreds OF the wool grow
ers have been steadiast Democrats all
their lives and would never believe that
their party was for Free Trade until
Cleveland made his assault on them.
Now they are coming over by scores to
the Republican party, Many OF the
leading Democratic wool growers OF the
county are Outspoken against Cleveland.
S. Miller Day, Of Morris township, one
Of the most prominent and pop
ular Democrats OF the county,. who
carried this Republican county for Di-
rector of the Poor, when nominated
by his party, is working openly against
Cleveland. Mr.. Day says mo wool
grower should vote for the man who has
shown himself the arch enemy Of their
interests" Nelson Montgomery, Of
Donegal township, leading Democrat
Of the western part OF the county, said
to q correspondent that he would not
vote for Cleveland, and knew personally
fifteen other Democrats in his neighbor-
hood who would not. So 1t goes. Every
township has its tloppers, and they are
men OF intelligence and influence. Not
day passes that some old Democrat
does not drop into line for Harrison and
Protection. Put Washington county
down for 1000 majority forthe Republi-
can ticket

MORE GOOD NEWS.

The Boiling Department at tho La Belle
Resumes Double Turn.
The pudding department ut the La
Belle mill started up double turn last Fri
day and ran until yesterday, when it was
found necessary to lay off for several heats
on account of the warm weather. How
ever the night turn went on and this de-
partment of the mill will continue in oper-
alton, much to the delight of the work
men and residents on the South Side, as q
good many men are given employment
thereby.
Experiments with the new train of rolls
put in for the purpose of making nail plate
out of old steel rails are continuing, but ii
is understood the success is not very good.
Two breakers were broken yesterday by
the immense pressure necessary to crush
the rails down, and ii is feared the eXper-
iment will not prove as successful as antic-
ipated.
The tack factory did MT start up last
week rs stated in several papers, as only
two of the machines are in running order
and some time will be required to put the
others into shape. There are twenty-six
machines in the factory and three Dailers
have taken charge of them, each man hav-
ing taken charge of eight machines. Pick
led steel is being used, and the two ma
chimes, which are now running, are turn
ing out small nails. While these nailers
will receive a less price per keg for max
ing the nails, they will make much more
money than under the old system by
which four machines constitute job.

A bold highway robbery was committed
within q mile of Glen Easton, the other
morning, on the county road. A young
man named Sam Bonsr, who had been out
calling, was returning about two O'Clock
when he met two men. They spoke to
him and he responded, after which they
stopped and told him they would like to
get enough change to buy breakfast.
Bonar said he didn't have much money,
but he would let them have enough to buy
breakfast. At this juncture the larger OF
the two men took hold of Bonar, who said
he hoped they didn't mean any harm.
The big man informed Bonar that
it dependent entirely upon circumstances,
and then he put his hand down into Bon
ar's pocket and extracted q p0cketbook
containing $3l in hard cash.

A Gard From John o. Pendleton.
WHEELING, W. VA, August 6, 49,.
TO the Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-A report Is in circulation that the
undersigned was engaged in conspiracy
to set mp the Brooke County Convention in
the interests Of certain candidates on the
State ticket and in the interest of himself
for Congress This report ia utterly with
out foundation. The writer has never had
one conversation with either Alfred Cald-
well or J. B. Sommervilleoas to the prob
able seton of any Brooke County Conven-
ton in the year 1888, has not spoken
to, written to, or communicated with, any
citizen of that county upon the subject OF
Congress, or the State ticket, IN the past six
months, and did not even know that there
was q convention to be held in Wellsburg
last Saturday. As tothe recent conventions
or meetings in Ohio county to send dele
gates to the State snd Congressional con-
ventions, the part Of the undersigned in
them was limited to casting his vote in the
Clay district meeting. OF the so delegates
sent by Ohio county to these two conven-
lions, not one was either requested to be a
candidate for or suggested for
either convention by the writer, and not
one has been requested by me to give me
vote for any position under the shining
sun. Several of the Ohio county delegates
since their election, have said that they in
tended to bring my name before the Con-
gressional Convention. have neither en-
couraged nor discouraged the flatteriDg
suggestion, but have left them free to fol-
low their own will and Judgment.
In the year 1888 nomination
for Congress is neither to be sought MOI
declined. Grover Cleveland has marked
out the lines upon which we must wage
the hottest battle of the century for prin-
ciple and progress, and while contributing
my mite to the success of that cause, i
have neither the time nor the inclination
to be engaged in the manipulation or Set
ting up of conventions for any selfish in
terests of my own. Cleveland, Thurman
and reform of the Tariff are far superior
to any political interests of
