HON. BOYD FAULKNER
Takes the Citizens of Parkersburg by
Storm-A Telling Speech.

Spfcidl lttfqFdm 70 NE hegtsttf.
PARKERsBURG. w. VA, November >.
There was a grand Democratic rally
at the Court House last night, presided
over by Hon. johnson n. Camden, and
addressed by the Hon. +. Boyd Faulkner,
in most eloquent and telling manner.
There was great enthusiasm and much
good was done. A sweeping Democratic
victory is predicted. Wood county is in
grand shape for the election. Hon. L.
Boyd Faulkner discussed the great issues
of the day. The city band furnished the
music and long before the advertised
time tho spacious Court House was
crowded to SufiocatiOn with an audience
which in numbers and intelligence might
well cause the heart of any speaker to
swell with pride. Promptly at eight
o'clock the distinguished orator and
Democrat ascended the platform leaning
on the arm OF that old war horse of
Democracy, Ex-senator Johnson n.
Camden. who in few graceful and
well chosen remarks introduced Mr.
Faulkner TO the vast audience, as his
friend and one of West Virginia's
most distinguished sons. Round after
round applause greeted these two and
truSty sons of Democracy, as they stood
together on the platform. As soon as
the applause ceased, Mr.. Faulkner in
the most eloquent manner addressed
the vast throng, and, in spite of Sc
we're cold. which made speaking Il posi-
tive labor to him, for nearly two hours
held the attention of the audience with
his eloquence, argument and pathoS,
stating with Il happy alluSlon 10 the
time when six years ago he spoke
on the same spot for Cleveland,
Hendricks and reform. He took
up in succession the Mckinley bill, the
odious force bill and the colonization in
fanny. His glowing alluSion to the elec-
tion and administration Of Grover Cleye-
land was greeted with round after round
of applause, and as he told in eloquent
terms how the will OF the people had
been defeated by the fat fried out of
the manufacturer" and Harrison put in
the position which belonged to the gal
liant Cleveland, Indignation was pictured
on every cOuntenance. His exposure Of
the iniquiticS of the tariff bill and
how the people were being taxed TO
death in order that the rich
might become richer was especially
telling. And when he had reviewed the
force bill, showing how it was framed
to take away the liberties of the people,
and the colonzaition. scheme, there was
not a Democrat in the house who did
not feel his determination strengthen
to conquer at the polls on Tuesday
next. He closed with the prediction OF
a glorious victory all along the line, and
a happier, most enthusiastic audience
has never assembled in ParkerSburg.
His speech was rcplete with forcible
argument. eloquence and anecdotes,
and the Republicans. many OF whom
were present, listened with the same at
tention and interest as did the Demo
Gratis. The Democracy Of Wood county
and the party here is in splendid con
dition for the election.

\ REPUBLICAN RALLY
At Kingwood-The Speakers Speak to a
Very Slim Crowd.

=
PENDLEroN, November 1.-The Re-
publican grand rally at Kingwood to-
day was a very slim affair in point OF
attendance. The meeting was adyer-
tised as the last grand rally and called
upon the Republicans through the
county to come and hear Stephen B.
EIkins and Hon. A. w. Campbell, but
somehow the people did not come out.
Ate o'clock the meeting was called to
order by James A. Brown. In introducing
/ Mr.. Elkins he said, Mr.. Elkins is a
tariff specialist and political econo-
mist of the Gould and Vanderbilt class,
leader of society and 4 gentleman who
will prove to you that protection IS
what we need to foster our industries.
Mr.. ElkinS hung his head and mod
estly smiled at this introduction, while
the farmers and laboring men were sur
priSed 10 learn they were to be addressed
| by a millionaire. ElkinS read his
speech from manuscript. 1t was very
| ingenious and descriptive speech oil
! the mOnopOliStic brand, ana
dealt principally in statistics. lie at
tributed all prosperity TO protection.
/ He declared the Democrats conceded he
was fair in his arguments and did not
misrepreSent them. He left his fair
ness at home to-day, for Il more ylndic-
tive and partisan speech, couched in
ambiguous language, | have not heard
this campaign. He actually waved the
bloody shirt violently, and appealed to
the prejudice of his hearers, especially
/ the soldier element.
In speaking of what the Republican
party had done for the old soldier In
the way OF pensions and how the Demo
cratS had fought them at every point he
caid he made a speech at Charleston a
short time ago where he saw but few
old soldiers. As it was getting too far
south he intimatcd that it was not safe
for Republican to speak in Charleston
or one Of the southern counties; he de-
clarei that while he did not see but
very few ex-Union soldiers he found eX-
Confederate soldiers very numerous. 1t
was an outrageous appeal to prejudice
and quite unworthy of any gentleman
who aspireS to craftsmanship. HIS
speech fell fiat; he made no converts.

A Bottle Of Ink.

Some days ago the employees at the
Charleston Postotfice were put to good
deal of trouble by some kind gentleman
in New York who sent @ bottle OF ink
through the mails. The bottle seemed
to be in good condition when it left
New York, but on the route it was smash
ed, and the consequence was that a whole
sack of letters was so badly blurred and
dis6gured that the clerks here could
scarcely read the directions when they
went to distribute the matter.
Speaking of this, Postmaster Mowry
said Yesterday that It was surprising how
few people understood what could go
through the mails and bow matter should
be wrapped. ;,
"The directions for wrapping mail
matter, he said, "are very full and point
ed, and there is no excuse for this kind
Of thing. In brief, they require that
nothing must be sent through the mails
that could possibly ipj jurc other matter,
unless it be 80 securely wrapped az to
take away any possibility of such injury.
