THE RELIEF FUND.

The Committee VIII Increase It TO 1900
How IL win Be Distributed.
The committee soliciting funds for the
relief of the flood sufferers will continue
its work to-day, as it is desired to raise
the amount to $4,000. A meeting will
also be held by the committee at the con-
clusion of its work and arrangements made
to take the funds to Rowlesburg. 1t is
probable that Maj. Anderson, who leaves
this evening for Mountain Lake park,
and another member Of the committee,
will convey the money to Rowelsburg, as
it is deemed the safest and most satisfac-
tory way to get il there.
II has been suggested, and the sugges-
ton will no doubt be acted upon, that the
gentlemen who take the money to Rowels.
burg select three substantial business men
and three ladies to act as distributing
committee to take charge Of the funds,
appoint their subcommittee and distrr'
butte the cash in the most thorough manner
so that all those who are really needy may
get their share of assistance. The whole
amount will not be devoted to the Rowels
burg sufferers, the committee thinking Il
best to retain part so that they may be IN
a position to aid sufferers from other dis
tricts should call be made upon them.

The members of the State Board of Pub

tho Directors. They were shown the beau
ties of the resort and were highly pleased
with their trip. The Board will leave for
Fairmcnt over the B. & o. this morning.
Governor Wilson was seen by REGIS
TER reporter last evening and asked about
the political situation throughout the
State. Said he:
1.-THE Democracy is in splendid fighting
trim and all this talk about the Rspubli-
cans carrying the State this fall is nothing
more than talk. Cleveland and Thurman
will have an increased majority. Every
sensible man knows that this Rspub-
lican bawl about free trade is the
yeriest nonsense, and that fres trade is
an utter impossibility. The Government
must have q certain amount OF revenue TO
conduct it, and the only way to secure
that revenue ia by tariff"
How about State pc litics ?"
"well, ;" replied the Governor lsughingly
''there are . number of candidates for the
positions of Governor, Auditor and Treas-
urer, and some of them are going TO be
very badly fooled when the conventions
have completed their work. l will not
say who they are, but they will find ont
soon enough"
The reporter then ran across Auditor
Pat Duffy, and after shaking hands with
him. queried:
"How is the Democracy through the
StateP''
"In good condition." answered tine
Auditor. 'Of course we will carry the
State, and the Republicans really have no
hopes of anything else, but what
they are after is the Legislature, and
YOU may rest assured that they will make
ali sorts of trades and bargains
to secure votes for the Legislative ticket
20 the exclusion Of the National and State
tickets. They will even go so Tar as 10
trade votes for President or Governor for
votes for their Legislative tickets. Just
keep your eye on them"
Treasurer Thompson coming up at this
moment the REGISTER man shook hands
with him and asked his opinion Of the out
look. .,
Every good, very good" said
Mr.. Thompson. The Republican as
sertion that they will carry the State this
fall is all bosh. / find the Democracy
united and harmonious throughout the
State, and the result will be an increased
msiority. / think the race for the Gov
ernorsbip has narrowed down to Judge
Fleming, Judge Morrow and Hon. Henry
G.. Davis, at least / hear more talk OF
them as probable candidates than any OF
the others who have been mentioned. 1t
is little early, however, to even make a
close guess rs to who will be the Demo-
cratic nominee. But at present, l am a
little more interested in theTreasurership."
