The Forum For Sentemher.

With the September number the
Forum enters it's 18th volume, and its
publishers announce that there has
not been single month in its career
when it has not made a permanent
increase in its number of readers.
It's subscribers at the beginning of
the 9Th volume are fifty per cent
more than they were at the beginning
of the 9th volume, one year ago.
This is proof that the kind of articles
which the Forum presents--discus-
sions of important present problems
by the best writers that it can en-
ploy--finds an increasing number OF
readers.

A New Propaganda.

The Republican National League,
composed in the main Of the wealthy
beneficiaries of the tariff and their
office-holding agents, has planned a
missionary tour through the South,
in March next, of eight trainloads"
of delegates.
The chief object, it is announced,
will be "to present in the most att
tractive form the economical princi-
Piles of the Republican party" There
will be studious avoidance of any
And for this reason, no doubt,
"many capitalists will be included in
the delegation. There will be a
studious avoidance of any "revival
of unpleasant memories" In other
words, the bloody shirt will be left
behind and an attempt be made to
substitute the cajolery of capital and
the temptation of tariff brides for
the old policy of distrust and denun-
citation.
We will rejoice to record the move
ment of this propaganda of peace
and prosperity" Anything which
will put an end to the sectional pref
udice and fears, kept alive by selfish
politicians for their own advantage,
will be blessing to the country.
The thorough naturalization of both
parties, and their division upon liv-
ing issues, would be one of the best
things which could happen to the
politics of the country
AS for the possible partisan adj
vantage, the Democracy should well
come the issue For every vote gain
ed at the South by the Republican
propagandists of the doctrine Of a
war tariff and surplus spending for
ever, the Democrats could gain two
in the West and Northwest. Once
emancipate the Republican farmers
of those sections, and of the Middle
States as well, from all fear of the
'rebel" bugaboo, and they would be-
gin to vote for relief from the bur.
dens which weigh them down. Prop
agandism is game that two can
play.-N Y. WvId

Judge Fleming Ahead.

Day before yesterday twenty ile-
gal votes were thrown out by the
Gubernatorial Contest Committee in
Kanawha county. Yesterday the
Committee rejected four more illegal
votes and, furthermore, refused to
abide by the decision of the Kama
wha county court, which was fully
ventilated in these columns at the
time, and accepted the result of this
Republican County Courts own re
count, by which Judge Fleming
gained 80 votes.
1t will be remembered that a re-
count was demanded in Kanawha
county Immediately after the cleo
ton. All the officials who did the
recounting were Republicans, and
the proceeding was so boldly unfair
that it was generally received as
simple farce But, in spite of all
this, Fleming gained on the recount
unfair though it was-32 votes.
This, of course, the Republican
County Court could not think of al
lowing, so, as pretext for discred-
iting the result of their own recount
and returning to the original figures,
they claimed that the box in which
the ballots were kept had been tam
pered with, and they showed crack
in the bottom of the box, through
which it was alleged the ballots had
been extracted, that was not large
enough to admit the blade of pen
knife, and to extract ballot through
1T would have been an utter impossi
bility. The owner of the box was
consulted, and he declared that the
crack was in the box when presented
to the Court. Nevertheless, the Re
publican Court of Kanawha county,
in spite of common sense and all evi
dence to the contrary, declared that
the ballots had been taken out
through this infinitesimal crack, and
they returned to their original count,
thus boldly refusing to abide by the
result of their own recount, grossly
unfair to the Democratic candidate
though its conduct had BEEN
The Contest Committee Yesterday
had all the facts and evidence in the
case laid before them, and they re-
jected the figures of the first count,
accepting the figures of the recount
made by the Republican County
Court of Kanawha county.
This puts Judge Fleming fourteen
votes ahead of Gen. Golf, to date,
though this is not by any means the
extent of his honest majority-Reg-

There is no business 80 slack, no
matter how slack business may be,
as the business Of Stacking the No
nongahela river.
Many inquiries are now being
made in reference to the progress Of
this work. From the best informa-
tion we can get from this uncertain
enterprise, there is yet remaining
from twenty 70 thirty days work to
finish the dam. The contractor
states that he can finish it in that
time unless food should compel
them to stop work. The timber for
the gates is on the ground and we
believe the work of constructing the
gates has been begun. From all ac-
counts it seems that this latter is
the principal work now to be done.
The gates are big job, though to
an unprofessional it does not seem
reasonable that it should require
thirty days TO construct the gates
for lock.
We make no predictions and do
not desire to raise any expectations
as to the time when this work will
be completed. No prophet who car
ed anything for his reputation would
tackle it. We would rather bet on
one of Virgins storms. If there is
anything more to steal the thing will
not be finished till that is stolen
And even if everything in sight has
been stolen, they will not let 60 if
by any hook or crook they can pro-
long the work in hope Of stealing
another appropriation. The chance
of stealing even one hundred dol
lar bill would probably delay the
work for another wear or two

THE KANAwHA COUNTY CASE.
The facts of the kanawha county
case have been laid before the public
several times. The law allows anv
candidate for State or county offices
to demand a recount of the ballots
within certain specified times after
the election. In accordance with
this provision, Judge Fleming de-
manded recount in Kanawha coun-
ty, and it was had. 1t was conduct
ed by the Republican county court
in the presence of attorneys for Gen
eral Golf. During the recount the
most shameful violations of law and
justice were perpeirated in General
Colts favor. The court for instance
threw out one Democratic precinct
because an election commissioner
was not sworn. Proceeding with
the recount it came to a larger Re
publican precinct u which a com
missioner was not sworn, and imme-
diately reversed It's order to throw
out the Democratic precinct, and al
lowed both to stay in. Further in
the recount second and still larger
Democratic precinct was found, in
which one of the commissioners had
not been sworn, and then the dis
tinguished Solons hastily reversed
their second order and threw out all
three precincts. The same court re-
fused to consider or hear sworn evil

This was the kin of recount the

Judge Fleming gained 80 votes on
the recount. Then to put the cap
sheaf on their part IAN stupidity, the
commissioners ref sed to recognize
the result of the recount and declar-
ed it fraudulent, although conducted
by themselves. Judge Fleming con
tested this decision, and the com
mittee justly decided that the re-
count should stand, and he should
have the benefit of his gains on it.

A Bull in Waynesburg China Shop.

Some cattle were being driven
through town by Mr. Rehner, on
Tuesday last, among them a bull,
which, in becoming over-heated, was
worked up into high metal. After
chasing lady past the c. P. church
be rushed into the store, took posi-
tion behind the counter, and for a
time seemed monarch of all he sur
veyed. The proprietor thought best
to dispute his right, however, and
proceeded to contest the ground
The animal became wedged in be-
tween the counter and shelving and
before he could be induced to back
out from his position some glass and
other ware was demolished. Mr..
Rehner proposed to drive him right
on through to the 'front.' where he
expected to turn the animal to the
right and out the door; but by this
move he would have measured him
self through the fine glass front.
Then by moving the animal gently,
yes, gently backward, the parties
succeeded in heading him for the
front door, and few lashes brought
him into the street. Through all
this it is astonishing that no one was
iI'jurcd. except the grocer, in the
loss Of broken ware to about the
amount Of two dollars.
