A snhlr stricken Fnmllv.

DoDGEvuLE, WIS. October 29.-The
family Of Robert Paul. at Middleton,
has been afflicted by diphtheria which
which was brought into the house in a
singular manner. About four weeks
ago a stray cat came to their home and
one Of the children handled and played
with it. Although it was noticed at
the time that it discharged at the nose
and mouth, nothing was thought of il
until soon after, when the little boy
came down with black diphtheria OF
the most malignant kind, that the doe
tors said he had caught from the cat.
Thei second son took the disease and
died. The father and mother and daugh-
ter were also stricken down and re-
covered. Allen, the only remaining
son and support of his parents, cared for
Them an through their sickness, hold
ing one Of the boys when dying and pre-
pairing them for their last resting place
with his own hands. When others were
recovering he was taken down and died.

some expected. America must get paid
for her exports to England. and must
take payment either IN British man

colonial goods through English
markets. One effect 81 the
Mckinley tariff would be TO direct the
attention Of the British manufacturer
toward the production Of finer classes
Of goods. these bore the least intoIer-
able protective rate. The result would
be TO elevate and improve the taste Of
British manufacturers, 10 spur
them on and stimulate their in-
genuity. lCheers. The probable
tendency produced by the tariff among
the Americans would be towards the
manufacture Of coarser goods, thus dee
grading their productions, whilst the
English improved theirs. Although
America had gone on tightening her
protective system she had not lcssencd
English trade, in proof Of which state
ment Mr.. Gladstone quoted statistics.

The largest audience in attendance up

posed the colonization scheme
and the connection of Smith,
Atkinson, McGinniS and other Republi-
can leaders in this State with the Lind
ey-Quay-Dudlcy scheme. In fact his
arraignment OF the Republican party
was a most complete one. Many Re

than one admitted the truths Of the
Senator's arguments. Several oil them
said they believed that the Mckinley

TUNNELTOE, w. VA, October 90
Remembering the miserable failure at
Howesville last night, the Republican
bosses of KingwOod did not propose TO
meet similar fate in this town tonight,
so they hired the Kingwood brass band,
drummed up all the faithful Of that
town, chartered train on the T., X. Il
f. railroad and came to Tunnelton and
held meeting in the school house.
Outside of the crowd they brought from
Kingwood very few voters In this town
and vicinity turned out to hear
Home, Country and Protection"
while it cost the party Of
Quay and Dudley about So to hold the
meeting. The only thing accomplished
was the conversion of several laboring
men, who have heretofore affiliated
with the Republican party, to the Dem
ocratic party. These labOring men re-
fused TO attend the meeting, and told
the REGISTER reporter that they were
perfectly convinced that the Republi-
can party was the party of monopoly
and no friend of the laborer. They
cited the fact that during this campaign
the Republicans of Preston have been
travelling all over the country, accom-
panied by the Kingwood brass band at
cost Of $50 day. and then ask who IS
furnishing the money for this travelling
menagerie, and the answer is the fried

with waXed mustachc, delivered his
political Grafton on "a tariff is not a
tax, which he has been delivering to
empty school houses for the past two
weeks. Striking an Adonis attitude he
declared that the Mckinley bill was the
very essence of prosperity TO every man
within the sound OF his voice,
and If there was any one
present who believed to the contrary lie
would be- pleased to hear from them.
About half dozen of shook makers
arose and said they were not accustomed
TO the prosperity which the Mckinley
bill had so recently thrust upon them.
and if the speaker would pardon them,
they would like to substitute the word
poverty for 'prospcrity."
Continuing, they said: 1--WE have
been thrown out OF employment by the
closing down Of our shook shops on ac-
count Of the Infamous Mckinley tariff
bill. and you cannot make us swallow
that Mckinley bill, although we are Re
pubicanS."
The boy "orator" was so nonplussed
that he completely broke down, amid
cat-calls and cries Of "a tariff is taxi
The partisan Republicans were utterly
diSguSted at the termination OF the
meeting and declared that Eddie Elliott
was doing the cause more harm than
good on account of his ignorance of the
political issues. Indeed it was Sug
gested by some indignant Republicans
that he be eggcd out OF town. The
Democrats are delighted and hurrahing
for Eddie Elliott, ''the boy orator"

ne now verihes that opinion by making
himself the dictator of the special line of
argument the Republican editors of this
district shall use and employ in their eff
forts 20 defeat Wilson. To accomplish this
result fairly is the right of all good Repub-
Leans who desire it, such unfair
methods, such stabs in the dark,
but can only be followed by the
condemnation Of all good people. We will
see how far the Republican editors of this
district will accept his editorial censorship
over them and make the unmanly charge
he suggests, and how far the people of the
district will concur therein.
This letter should be sufficient TO cause
MaSon's removal 1t certainly is sufficient

Commissioner MaSon'S confidential let

false, as he perfectly well knew. The
conference report ON the bill was sprung
ON the House without notice, and put
through under the previous question.

never accuse these men of lodging the
vote. but was willing 10 start this
anonymous attack ON me when
he thought 10 was too late
ia the campaign to catch up
with the false head. ElkinS' statement
OF my votes in his Wheeling speech was
very unfair 80 me, as he diStortS them
