Whnt iie Predicts rs to the Outcome Of tho
Speclnl Session.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 15.-Colonel W. A.
Taylor telegraphs the Cincinnati En-.
qlirer as follows: The situation OF affairs
is, in my opinion, about as follows: The
two BILLS introduced will reach third
reading in the Senate in their regular
order on Thursday, unless they are re-.
ferred to a committee and held by 1t be-
yond that time. When they come UP on
their passage they will receive the votes
Of fifteen, and possibly seventeen, OF the
Democratic Senators, and this, too, in
the face OF the present disposition OF at
least fifteen OF tho Democratic Senators
to give tho accused members OF the B. r.
i. a fair and impartial hearing before
summarily abolishingtheir offices.
This, Of course, looks paradoxical and
contradictory, but nearly all the Demo.
cratic Senators have fully made up their
minds that il the Board is to be abolished
summarify and without a hearing, that
the Republican Senators shall not carry
oH the credit for it. With the passage
OF these two bills in either or both
Houses, the labors and tribulations of
the Legislature will only have begun,
for the Republicans, having played one
end against the middle, will encourage
the other to appeal to lex taliouis, and q
flood Of legislation will be let loose, the
end and upshot OF which will be that
the Republicans will win the entire
stake for which they played, and the
Democrats will be in the humiliatiny
position OF having cut oil their noses to
spite their ilces..
The game is being played by the Re-
publlcsns in precisely the way pre-
dicted in these dispatches week ago

ono or the Greatest Meeting of tho Cam.
PM'gn NO far Addressed by Capt. Dovene,
and Candidate Roberts,
neofthe largest and most enthusiastic
political meeting held thus far in the
First district campaign was addressed
last night ut Benwood by Capt. B. g.
Dovener and Mr.. W. ". Roberts, Re.
publican candidate for the State Senate
in tho Second Senatorial district. Fully
800 people gathered on Main street, in
front OF Squire Riddles office, aud were
first addressed by Mr.. Robsrts, whose
remarks were enthusiastically received
by the crowd. Mr.. Roberts is making n
splendid campaign and will be elected.
Captain Dovener was ever popular In
Benwood and did not need an introduc
ton TO the great crowd which cordially
greeted him ns he stepped forward to
deliver what proved to be one OF the
best speeches Of his life. His appear.
ance was greeted with round after round
Of applause, and from the beginning to
the close OF his speech the hearers
showed by their demonstrations that he
was sowing seed in good gronnd. Pro.
lection to American labor and American
industries as guaranteed by tho Mckin.
ley bill, the right of every citizen to
cast his vote freely and have it counted
fairly, the election outlages in West
Virginia, and tho contrast between Tho
Democratic and Republican parties with
reference to those Issues, were the
themes upon which Capt. Davener dwelt
eloquently, and he made the time toll.
Every proposition was greeted with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations OF
approval.
The speaker paid an eloquent tribute
to the worth Of Hon. w. ?. Hubbard,
the candidate for Congress, and exposed
the demaeoeic Pendleion's iallacies.

showed how the voters OF Benwood
stood with regard to the two candidates.
After speaking for more than an hour
Captain Dovener retired amid en,husi-
astic cheers.
The Benwood meeting was gotten ZIP
on the shortest possible notice, and it's
immense size demonstrated at once the
popularity OF the orator and that the
voters are thoroughly alive to the i'm
portance OF the vital issues OF the day.
