an effort is to be made TO have Con

by about one-fourth, in order that
the industry of making tin plates

The Cold Facts About the Eiec-

Ever since November, 1888, the
Republicans of this State have been
bitterly and maliciously accusing
the Democracy of trying, by fraudu-
lent methods, to cheat them out of
Governor and three members of
Congress. The Republican press,
venal and mercenary to the back
bone, have iterated and reiterated
this baseless and inexcusable SLAM
der. and held up to public view as
martyrs Golf and his henchman
McGinnis. Men and women have
sent up a wall over the fate of the

With characteristic thrift the Re
publican Administration at Wash
ington is seeking to insure contin-
ued political supremacy without the
costly necessity of buying up the
vote of New York State every four
years. 1t has occurred to the party
leaders that West yirginia's vote
might be purchased more cheaply,
and would answer every purpose
subserved in the electoral college by
the thirty-six votes of New York
That is to say, in securing the votes
the party method is to be changed
from grand larceny to petit larceny.
Later on it may be interesting to
study the genesis and development
of the Administrations idea that
the political crime of stealing the
vote of State might be ignored by
the people if the State should be,
like the servant girls baby, "only
little one',-PhiLadelphia Record.

Not the Friend Of the working

The Republican party is not the
friend of the Laboring man. It'll
the party of miIIionaires, monopo-
lists and corporations. BY its sys-
tenn ofrevenue it has made it posi-
BILE for combinations of capitalists
under the name of sstrusts'' to put
up the price of almost any eommod-
ity. By the score can be counted
the instances in which these rapae-
ions monopolists have secured con-
troll of the neeessaries of life and in
creased artifciary the price of them
to every man in the land. There
seems to be an understanding be-
tween these 'trusts" and the Re-
publican party, by which each has
agreed to perpetuate the other. In
spite of the plain demand of the
masses of the people tho Republi-
cans, would not touch one part of
their protective system, because the
millionaires would not let them.-
The milliouaires furnished the
money which bought Harrison's
election, and Harrison's administers
ton must continue the system in
order to enable them to earn back
their campaign contributions by ex-
actions upon the people. The labor
ing men should not be deceived by
reckless assertions. The Republi-
can politicians, corporations and
"trusts" are in Ieagne together and
protection works solely for their
benefit and not for the benefit of the
masses of the people.

A Trip East.


Editor Register: / took the
o'clock train at New Haven, on
the first of this month, as agvisitor
to the annual session of Parkers-
burg o. B. Conferences, whie con
vened at Buckhannon on the End.
A ride up the Ohio valley, of little
over two hours, brought me to. the
city of Parkersburg. stayed over
night there. In company with
Rev. T. 81. Rymer, l was permitted
to view the business part of
the city, when brightly Illuminated
with electric lights. Such sight
is beyond description On Market
St, there is quite display of beauty,
grandness and wealth.
The next morningI boarded the
z o'clock train at the B. & o. Depot,
going Eastward. This road passes
through very poor and rough sec
ton of the State. 1t is noted for
its numerous tunnels, cuts and
bridges To be sure that 1 would
make no mistake in counting the
tunnels, / held paper and pencil in
hand, and made a mark for every
one that / passed through. When
l arrived at Clarksbug. a distance
of 50 miles, / had made % marks.
AS the trains made pretty close
connection at this place, L could only
view the town from the vicinity of
the Depot. 1t is not a very beauti-
FIJI place for a town. The c. W. &
B. railroad passes through some
fine grazing lands in Harrison,
Lewis and Upshur counties. 1t is
is 26 miles from Clarksburg to Yves
ton. The object of attraction at
this place is the Hospital for Insane,
of which Iwish to givesome account
in a subsequent letter. A ride of
Is miles further brought me to
Buckhannon, the county scat of
Upshur. This is beautiful town,
situated on a plateau of medium ele-
walton. Ithasa population ofnearly
1000. Buckhannon river runs
through the eastern part of town.
As a class, the people are healthful,
moral and intelligent. There is no
such thing as a saloon in the town
The Conference session was quite
interesting and harmonious. Bish-
OPP Weaver, d. D., of Dayton, Ohio.
was the presiding officer. On Sun
day morning he preached for one
solid hour to large, though very
attentive audience. The sermon
was characteristic of the man.
The educational advantages of
Buckhannon are certainly unsur-
passed by any other town in the
State. By invitation of Prof. ]. F.
Ogden, visited the Public Schools,
and found them to be in excellent
condition. Students that complete
the prescribed course, are awarded
diplomas. Prof Ogden has began
his third year as Principal of these
schools. also visited the Normal
and Classical Academy. Thisschool
offers extra inducements to young
men, and young women, who are
not able to take full collegiate
course. The school is under the
control of Parkersburg Conference,
and it is worthy of the support of
the entire membership in the State.
The NJ. E. Seminary is in course
of construction at this place. It is
a large three-story brick building,
and will be completed in the near
future.
