That the Republicans Cannot Get Away
With.
And now the shrewd wool grower who
didn't sell his wool during the Republican
politician-spsculat,r scare, is reapiug the
harvest of his good Judgment. There
seems to be good deal Of wool still about
this vicinity, and some oft has been sold
within the past few days at figures that
must burn into tho minds of the Repub-
lcan politicians campaign capital makers
and robbers of the wool grower, like a
red-hot iron into ptae wood. and here are
some of these figures:
Mr.. Sprigg JACOB sold his fine wool for
40 cents per pound and the co !rser grades
for 30 cents per pound, tue average price
being about 81 cents.
Squire George Sawtelle raked in 80
cents per pouad for biz wool.
Capt. Won North secured an average
price Of 81 csnts psr pound tor his, and
Mr.. Johu Mccullough sold his for about
the same price.
These are iust few of the figures picked
up casually, and there are lots more Just
like them. This tina last year there was
no dem and for WOO a. % csnts per pound
in fact the bottom had fallen out OF the
market, and this was at least three months
before the Preside ats message WAS given
to the public. These facts stick In the
craws of the Republicans, and all their
efforts to dislodge them are futile.

NOT FOR A HUNDRED
Would Mr.. King Have His Wheeling Ex-
psrience Over Again.

Would Mr.. King Have His Wheeling Ex-
perienoe over Again.
81 wouldn't have ii happen again for q
hundred dollars" said Mr.. L. j. King, to
a well.known gentleman, yesterday, as he
looked over the REGISTER, and saw there
recorded in black and white the manner
in which his bluff iu the interests OF Har-
rison had been taken up by Wheeling
Democrats, until he had been forced to re-
tire from the field, without making a soil
tary bet ofany amount.
The gentleman suggestsi that it would
be interesting to know how he came -
make such bad break, and Mr.. King
proceeded to unfold his tale. He said, in
substance, that he had met Senator n. B.
Scott, whom he knew quite we'll, through
business transactions, and CHANGING to talk
upon political subjects, he expressed him
self pretty freely. Mr.. Scott suggested
that his story would make good political
reading matter and asked him 10 60 down
to the latelligeneer office, and tell re-
porter about it. This he did, after some
hesitation, and the story naturally sp-
peared in the Inteligencer's columns the
following morning. In concluding this
little narrative of his personal experiences,
Mr.. King said: when l saw the way the
papers took the matter mp, felt like
hiring some one to kick me all around
the town. I am sorry the thing hap
pened."
Another gentleman, who laughiugly re-
ferred to the wild way in which the In.
telliqeneer wsstsi its 20 wder, yesterday, in
Quoting Mr.. @. W. Brockunier's testimony
before the tariff Commission, in 1882, said:
The Mtelli9eneer was evidently lsboring
under the impression that Mr.. Brockunier
would be out in the REGISTER with an
argument contrary to that made by Mr..
King. and anticipating that anything Mr..
B. might say would be read with interest
BY everyone. they thought TO break the
force of the blow they feared was coming
by a counterblsst. As usual, they fred
in the air. The Inteligeneer folks must
have felt q bit foolish when they
found they had wasted two good
columns of SPACE. But they had
good cause to fear drubbiDg at some
6ody's hands. and 1 hope they II get it. In
Quoting the Tariff Commission, they have
only got further into the mud, for that
was Commission appointed by Rspub-
lican Congress and administration to bring
about much larger reduction they are
now arguing 90 vehemently against. About
our friend King, / remember meeting him
few weeks ago, in Findlay, Ohio. Then
he was red hot Democrat. I think bust.
mesa matters have some bearing upon his

The Difference Between Two Colored

Prof. H. j. Jones, principal Of the colored
school, here, was booked to deliver Repub-
lican speech at Parkersbarg last evening, and
it is presumed the school had to ruu itself
for a least half day to give the Professor
chance to att md to his political appoint
ments.
OF course, 1t may be- all right in Wheel

country making political speeches and
leaving his school to do so, but it appears
10 be different up in Brooke county. In

who is probably as aole a. Prof
Jones, and vino is teacher in the
colored school there, is left without
any pupils except thre9 or four, osc,use

dental elector by the Independent colored
party at Charleston recently. Toe Repub-
licans were the ones who kept their
children away from school and Prof.
Turner wasn't out on the stump making
political speeches and neglecting his
school duties, either. Must education
suffer on account of politics?

A BIG DAY.
LABOR DAY 10 BIZ EXTENSIVELY CRLE-
DRAFTED IN THE CITY.
The Details Of the Great Demonstration Well In
Hand-fhs Picnic at the Park 10 Be
An Enjoyable Affair.

The weather last evening did not look
very promising for to-day, but If hores
and wishe, will bring fair weather for
Labor Day celebration, we shsll certainly
have it. Several times the stars showed
themselves last night, and as many times
they disappeared again, 50 the state Of the
weather is doubtful.
Everything connected with the big
parade ia iu readiness, and all that is
needed to make it one Of the largest
demonstrations of the kind ever seen hers,
is good weather.
The carpenters and plssterers met at
Trades Assembly Hall last evening and
completed their arrangements by distrib-
uting badges and nsts. The carpenters
will all wear brown SLOUGH hats.
The line will be swollen by Unions and
Labor Assemblies from Bsllsire, Bridge
port, Martins Ferry, Brilliant, Mingo and
probably Steubsnville, New Cumberland
and Wellsburg, nearly ell of which will
bring their own bands of music. 1t is also
learned that there will be quite number
of trades displays. The composition
and location of all the divisions
were published in yesterday morn
ing's REGISTER along with the route of
procession. All that is now necessary to
make the affair whoppsr, as before stated
is for Old Probs to give rs fair weather,
and if Old Sol can be induced to show his
beaming face for while at least this morn
lug, the streets will bs in excellent mach
ing condition.
The arrangements for the picnic at
Wheeling Park have been carefully at
tended to and pleasant day is promis ed
those who go ont to the pleasant resort.
Amusements of various kinds have been
provided and all will find everything ar
ranged for their comfort. Dancing 10 the
Opera House orchestra music wilt BE- the
feature in the big pavilion and separate
dancing stand and good music have been
provided for the colored folks. Those
who iDtsnd going out to the picnic are re-
quested to be there as soon as possible rs
the rush will be immense when the pro-
cassion disbands. The line of march will be
taken up about ten o'clock, and it Is the in
tention to get through by noon if possible.

A REGISTER reporter ran across q gem
tleman yesterday who is watching about to
take up all bets offered on Atkinson's
election. He couldn't find money. An
other gentleman was heard to offer to bet
a Republican on the spot 500 that Pen
delton would defeat Atkinson, but the
Rep. wasn't there.
The Satellite, last evening, had some
thing about Mr.. Kings bluff, aud added
that if Democrats with money and desire
to bet would call at that Office, they could
hear of an opportunity to place money In
large sums. A Democrat with roll
called at the Office Of the paper last even
ing, but no one in authority could be
found. II looks like another bluff Won
