"Raiued.v
st. Mary's Oracle.

OF. MARY Oracie.
There is no doubt our Republi-
can friends in this Congressional
District are considerably 'srattled /"
They begin to see that their nomi-
nation of Smith in this District is a
big mistake, Smith would possibly
run we'll this year in some district
where he is not known, but the peo-
pie of this district will not endorse
the peculiar methods of the Repub-
lican party by which they have sue
ceeded in seating Mr.. Smith in an
office to which he was never elected.
Then Smiths votes show that he is
no friend of the farmer, having al
ways voted for every scheme to in
crease his taxes in the interest of
monopolies, trusts, etc. Just how
Mr.. Smith, after supporting the in
iquitous provisions of the Mckinley
bill, can expect to get the vote of
any farmer or stock raiser in this
district, is more than we can see;
without they think they do not pay
enough taxes now, and want them
increased from ten to one hundred
and fifty per cent. on some of the
prime luxuries of life. The agricul-
tural portion of our people may be
sure that if they want to elect a man
who will look after their interests
as he looks after his own, and one
who is u farmer and stock raiser
himself, they will make no mistake
in casting their votes for Capehart.

Mason county statesmen were
never backward in making their
wants and wishes known, and it
appears that this year they will
have their full share of the good
things. In addition to the Con
gressional nomination tho Sanata.,i..l

The gentleman called upon to make
the fight and lead the democratic
hosts to victory in the Fifth district
is Hon. Rankin Wiley, Jr. Mr..
Wiley is one of the brightest aud
brainiest of Mason's young Demo
cracy He is an able lawyer and a
successful business man. In both
public and private life his reputation
is without flaw. As State Sena-
tor his burning eloquence and
splendid attainments would create

can be overcome, Rankin Wiley, Jr.,
will do it.

Parkersburg Sentine.


1t now turns out, after all this re-
publican lying, that Farmer Cape
hart is not an "aristocrat." that he
would set the dogs on a "footman'
if he dared invade his premises, that
he has no "coachman" that he
uses nothing but pillow lines when
he drives out in his blackboard and
handles them himself. that he hoes
corn, pitches hay, drives cows, puts
up the bars and that you couldn't
tell him from one of his farm hands
to save your life. This is the demo-
cratic side. The truth is, as all who
know him can attest that MIR. Cape.
hart is a hard working farmer, a
man of education and a gentleman
and by his example has done as
much to make labor honorable as
any other man in the district.

We make the following extract
from an editorial in the Beacon
Light, of Richie county, in reply to
an undignified, ungentlemanly and
dishonest editorial in the Richie
Gazette, rejecting upon Mr.. Cape
hart, the Democratic nominee for
Congress. 1t is full answer to the
dirty lying of the Gazette, edited by
one p. w. Morris:
LIST, Mr.. Capehart was presented
to the convention as farmer. And
so he is. He was born in the same
house which he now lives in, and he
never lived anywhere else. He
never had any other business except
farming and stock raising, which
he learned in practical way-be-
tween the pillow handles.
I'd, The farm upon which Mr..
Capehart lives is fine river bottom
farm-as good as the State Affords
but if Morris wants to buy it, he can
have il for $50 an acre, and we will
make him a present of the other
$3.50 an acre TO start a bank of his
own with. This is not bluff. If he
wants the farm at $50 an acre he can
have it.
Sd, Farmer Capehart never owned
a house in the town, therefore does
not cultivate his farm from car
riage!
4th, Farmer Capehart never own
ed a government bond in his life,
therefore does not clip any coupons!
He has nearly four thousand dol
lars stock in the Point Pleasant
bank, which he will sell at par any
time, as it has paid less than six per
cent, for many years! 1t must be a
funny sight to see Former Capehart
raking in the big dividends on this
bank stock.
The fact is too plain that james
is only plain, practical, every day
farmer! The farmers brought him
out, the farmers nominated him and
the farmers will elect himl-Peans-

Jackson's plurality, B.

The plausible protectionists tell
the farmers that they put added
duties on wheat, corn, barley, pota-
toes, ETC., to raise the price of those
things; and in the next breath they
swear they are doubling the tax on
tin-plate, glassware, crockery, cut
lery, etc, in order to lower prices.
They know very well that levying
duties on articles we do not import
increases their cost to the extent of
the duty paid. But they try to be-
fool the country again with this
double-edged deception. The fraud
has been so long and so successfully
practiced that among the more de-
vout believers it passes for economic
truth, while gray boards are found
who proclaim it in the Senate
Chamber.

Kanawha Gazette
The effort of certain Republican
papers to cast reproach upon Hon,
james Capehart as the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Fourth
district upon the ground of his being
blessed with liberal share of this
worlds goods, is pitiable in the ex.
treme. The fact that they are at
lacking him on the score of his rich
es is significant. 1t shows that he is
otherwise invulnerable. We are
quite sure that they never would
have sought such miserable pre-
text to oppose him had there been
any really weak points in him as q
candidate for congress. We are in
clined to believe that Mr. Capehart's
riches will not injure him in the
estimation of sensible and intelligent
people. Wealth is never reproach
TO any man if he gets it honestly.
Mr.. Capehart is not monopoIist;
he has never employed his money
in the furtherance of his schemes to
Cypress the poor. He has ever been
the poor mans friend and those who
know him best will gladly testify to
the truth of this assertion. He is q
plain, honest farmer, an intelligent
and competent business man, an
honorable and worthy citizen, in
whom the people can trust implicitly.
Mr.. Capehart will go 20 congress
and devote himself diligently to the
interests of the people his disrict.
He will not be found casting his vote
in the House of Representatives in
the interest of protected" manu-
facturers of Pennsylvania to the in
jury of his own people as the present
incumbent is doing. He will not
enter INTO any villainous schemes to
Cypress the masses in order to raise
money to pay campaign debts, as
Republican congressman have done
he will not enter into any conspiracy
to nullify the Federal constitution
and deprive the white citizens ofany
section of this country the right o.
self government. Mr.. G. Brooks
Smith, the Republican candidate
and member of congress from the
Fourth district (by virtue of q
fraudulent titlc) is a party to shame.
less usurpation and wicked deeds Of
the majority party in the present
Congress.
The people of the Fourth district
will be called upon, within short
while, to choose between an honest
upright and intelligent citizen, with
strong convictions of right on the
one hand, and a man who has prov.
cd himself to be totally unworthy o.
trust, who is willing to become q
party to any scheme to advance the
interests of the Republican party
who has confessed himself unit fol
the duties of u congressman, on the
other. The issue in the Fourth dis
trict is we'll defined. The people
will have no trouble in making uI
heir minds Us to which of the two
candidates they should vote for, anC
we have confidence enough in theil
intelligence and love of justice and
truth to believe they will make the
proper choice.

They Held Two Tweniiefhs ora
Capital Prize in - Louisiana
state Lottery Ticket.

Fifteen thousand dollars for 81
sounds somewhat predictions, yet
three Baltimoreans have recently
been so fortunate as to acquire tie
amount of money named at the rela-
lively smalEoutlay. They are j. c..
Warnefeld, of 43S Light street, first
assistant engineer on the steamer
Charlotte; James Billups, second
mate on the steamer Baltimore, both
of which vessels belongs to the York
River Line, and John Il. Stansbury
living at 1922 Byrd street. Messrs.
Warnefeld and Bllups together
bought one-twentieth of a ticket in
The Louisiana State Lottery. The
number they held drew the capital
prize of 100000 in the August 18th
drawing.
On August Is Mr.. Warnefeld saw
in the columns of the lorning
Herald that in the drawing on the
day before he had won one twen-
tieth part of the prize or $4,000.
Mr.. Warnefeld on August 10 sent
his ticket to New Orleans for col
lection. Just u week later, on last
Friday, check was received by him
through the Adams Express Com
pany on bank in New York. This
was cashed in the Franklin Bank
of this city, and the money was then
divided by Mr.. NarnefeId and Mr..
Billups equally. The former at
once deposited his $500 in the
bank named, while the latter left a
portion of his share in the same
bank and the rest at other places
for safe keeping
Mr.. Stansbury, the third of the
lucky trio, obtained one. twentieth
of the winning ticket about the
same time as Messrs. Warnefeld and
Billups After seeing in the Herald
that he was one OF the winners, he
forwarded his coupon to New Or
leans day later, on August IA. a
draft was received last Friday,
August %, which Mr.. Stansbury
had cashed the same day in the
Howard Bank, Baltimore. I'm
mediately upon receiving the money
he deposited it in several other
banks OF this city. Mr.. Stansbury,
who is night Waterman for man
ufacturing firm in South Baltimore,
yesterday expressed his opinion in
regard TO The Louisiana State Lot
terry as follows: al consider it an
honest, fair and square institution,
and believe that if such thing as
lotteries were still sanctioned by law
in the State of Maryland the result
would be far better than now, as so
much of the business is carried on
surrcptitiously. 1t would also
greatly increase the revenue of the
State"

Reed and his corrupt Republican
followers ousted the legally elected
representative to Congress from the
Fourth district and seated one C. B.
Smith. The Republicans re-nomi-
mated Smith at Ravenswood, for
Congress; an indignant people will
in November repudiate Reed and
his gang by giving an overwhelming
majority for Capehart over the
brevet Congressman Smith, and

The Huntington Commercial, a
strong Republican paper, refuses to
support Hon. G. B. Smith, for Con-
gress, and is not slow in showing It's
dislike for him. We take the fol-
lowing extracts from the Commercial
of Sept. 18th:
We shall be greatly surprised il
there is not some independent vot-
ing by Republicans this year when
they come to voting for a Congress-
man.
c. Brooks Smith possibly may
make the rifle, but il will happen
through some occult, some mysteri-
GUS manifestation undiscoverable to
us in this part of the moral vineyard.
Our judgment is however, not in
fallible.
The Ravenswood convention, in
our view, made great mistake
when it forced the nomination for
Congress upon a man, who, more
than once, declared himself incapa-
BILE of the duties of representative.
Mr.. Smith has liberated and reitter-
ated to us and others that under no
circumstances would he again ac-
cept nomination.; and it seems to
us to be reflection upon the intel
ligence of the party that it had no
man more capable than he for the
high Office of representative in Con-
gress.
