seem stunned. Beginning to-day, two
or three meetings will be held.by the
Republicans each dayFand night unt'l
Saturday, when Mr.. Elkins will address
he people Of the county at Kingwood.
The Democrats are evidently discour-
aged, aud some OF them have taken to
very hard lying. The Register has dis.
patch purportins to come from King.
wood, and dated October &c, in which
there Is not n single truthful paragraph.
1t alleges that Samuel T. Hooten was
here Friday and Saturday on political
work, and was closeted with ex-senator
Dawson, Senator Worley and Chairman
Wotring. 1t happens that both Worley
aud Wotring were absent on those days
in a distant part Of the county cam paign-
ing, and, OF course, did not see NIr,
Hooten at all. Mr.. Dawson authorizes
me 10 say that he has had no communi.
cation with Mr.. noo:en since last May.
Tue correspondent also alleges that
MIR. Dawson lately went to Brnceton 10
make speech, and thas Republicans re-
fused to 90 to hear him. hlr. Dawson
has not been in Bruceton since last May,
when hc made Al address there to large
audience on Decoration Day at the spe-
cial invitation Of the G. A. K. post. .
The regular correspondent here de-
nies the authorship Of the dispatch. It
Tas probably the work of follow who
lives jointly in Preston and Taylor, and
not sent from kingwool tall. Nobody
here would probably have caught h,m-
self in such eeregious blunjers.
