An ATTACK ON THE FARMERS ALI
ANCE.

After rest Of a few days to recover
from the boomerang results Of its
scandalous falsehOOdS concerning Con-
gressmen PENDLEToN and ANDERSON,
the Wheeling Inteuigenecr has turned
its mud-batteries on Chairman I. ;.
RILEY and incidentally upon the Farm
ers' Alliance in West Virginia. In its
issue OF Saturday both it, editorial and
news columns contained references to
an imaginary interview in which Mr..
RILEY is alleged to have advised n
number of Democratic students Of the
Fairmont Normal school to use their in
nuence To build up the Alliance, because
the Democrats expected to control that
order. This remarkable piece OF in
vention is alleged to have reached the
Hiicliigcnccr office by the roundabout
route Of Washington and an unknown
Republican student is given as the au-
thority.
1t is an old trick Of towards to put
their falschoods in the mouth Of an UNI
known. It is like stab in the dark,
for the unknown will never rise to repu-
diate the authorship. No sensible man
would accept the authority of an ire
sponsiblc newS-gatherer at Washington
ON matter occurring at FairmOnt, and
of which the Republican paper and Peo-
pie OF FairmOnt are entirely ignorant.
But it is safe to say that the Intelligent
Ger special never saw Washington, and
was never nearer Fairmont than the
T,felJigcnccf cock loft, where it was con
ceived and manufactured. 1t has not a
shadow Of foundation in fact, and the
mlcllgcnccr dare not attempt to sub
stantiate il
It is apparent that the purpose OF this
baSeleSS attack is to prejudice Repub-
lican farmers against the Farmers ALI
ance. and check the growth of that or
der. The farmers of West Virginia
have been deceived too long by false
promises TO be deceived now by false
cries. The work Of the Farmers ALI
ance is not political, and the Democrats
of West Virginia will be the last to pros
titute the order, Of which many of them
are members, to partisan purposes. But
the Farmers Alliance is carrying on
grand educational work. In their clubs
and by their freSides the farmers are
discussing the deepest questions OF
financial policy, and that discussion is
telling for tariff reform. Republican
leaders may we'll wish to keep their fol-
lowers ont of such an organization; but
thousands Of them are already in it, and
thousands more are joining. Their eyes
are being opened, and they will forever
seal the doom of the high tax fallacy, as
far as the vote Of West Virginia can
do 3D.

of Ohio saved the State two years ago
and may do it again. II the Republi-
cans be successful then we can make up
our minds that QUAY politics will be
the order Of the day. The same mailed
hand that is directing the Ubiquitous
legislation at Washington will guide his
willing tools In West Virginia. a re-
districting Of the State in such 4 way
that we may have a majority of thou
sands on the State ticket and yet be I'M
able TO carry either branch Of the Legis-
lamre for decade, will be one OF their
first acts. This will be but one OF
scores Of outrages that may be expected.
A party that can, and did, disfranchise
its fellow citizens for the sake Of power
as was done in this State years ago, is
capable Of any devilment no matter
how abominable.
That the convention has been called
for so early a day is fortunate, and dis
PLAYS the foresight Of the committee.
Any disappointmcntS or hard feelings
that may arise will have ample
time 20 be- forgotten. Be
sides, the party will make
votes by being early in shape TO begin a
campaign Of education and thorough ors
ganization. Although this is an OIL year
the Democracy Of West Virginia pro-
pose that the campaign shall be memoir
able for activity and aggreSSiveneSS'
and il is meet and proper that Ohio
county in its convention to-day should
ST the gait.

There has been steady demand for
crude iron in all markets. Earlier IN
the season the fear of serious strikes
and the apprehension that the heavy
production would work lower prices IN
iron products, together with the mccr-
tainty as to the magnitude of this year
operations, all tended To restrict the de-
mand within very conservative limits.
All Of these elements of uncertainty
have now disappeared, and buyers in all
lines see their way clear TO purchasing
freely. There is steady run

market for steel billetS. muck bars
and wire rods. The nail-makerS are
busy on large orders. Contracts for be-
