Catholic church just before the COM

trouble over the right of Hughes to a
pew. When Hughes and son occupied
it this morning the trouble was renewed, 4,
ending in Father Early hitting Hughes
in the face. After this three men, one
Father Early's nephew, came to the lat

len hit Hughes numerically in the face
and on the head and neck. Hughes
swore out warrants for the arrest of all
four of his assailants. Father Early
says Hughes struck him first.

PORTLAND DISTRICT.

Squire +. d. Benson is elected
by 81 majority over Henry G. Beat
ty the regular Republican candidate
The Democrats had no candidate
but supported Benson the indie
pendent Candidate. Beatty boosted
all the time that lie would have a
regular walk over and seemed to
think that the Republicans would
be compelled to vote for him, SIM.
ply because he was the regular
nominee. In this he got beautifully
left and is now n very sick man. But
it will do him good and take some
of the swelling out of his head and
he Will probably have less faith in
MIR. Henry G. Beatty Esq. after
this. He counted on some Demo
cratic votes and those of his neigh
bors in particular. but Il little act
of his last Friday night spoit his
chances IN TINS direction. A Re
publican meeting was advertised
for the Beatty settlement that
night and the people gathered in
Democrats and Republicans alike,
but the speakers from Kingwood
failed to arrive and Col. John
Martin, who was present, was asked
to make short address, which he
consented to dc. Thereupon Mr..
Beatty who was present got up and
left unceremoniously. lie was too
narrow-mindcd and bigoted to listen
to democratic speech. That settled
his hash for every Democrat in the
community voted square against
him.

There was lively crowd in the
court house hall L, esday night
waiting for election news. Special
arrangements had been made for
the occasion. A purse was made
up to get full Geographic news and
messenger hired to bring the dis.
patches to the hall as fast as they
were received. There was II large
table with n crowd around it taking
down the figures and commenting
on them and bnntcring each othel
IN a good natured way. Charley
Nlckery kept everybody stirred III
lnd blcked down all the betting
men. Horace Tucker was singing
20 How love Jesus and smiling
broad smile that threatened to
unjoint his neck, thinking that the
whole country was going Republi-

in after him. The "Boy Orator"
was taking water on IL or even 1000

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The Result In the Different Districts.
KINGwooD DISTRICT.
For Commissioner of County
Court in Kingwood District the
vote stands
Shaw S maiority-s5.

At kIngwood the vote was very
close, but at townsville and Tnn-
Melton Shaw ran away ahead Of his
ticket, so that he evidently got
some Democratic votes, and why
any Democrat should vote against
Pcll we can't understand, but will
try and remember it hereafter. 1t
seems that all kinds of reports were
circulated against Pcll in the upper
end of the district. That lie be-
longed to the "Kingwood Ring"
and would vote for bridge at
Rowlcsburg. ETC., when there was
no foundation whatever for any
such reports. At home Pell re-
ceived several Republican votes,
and VIC heard Republicans declare
"That he was the best man on the
ticket" and should be elected with
ont regard to politics. 1t is true
that Pcll did not canvass any and
made no-spccial effort to be elected +,
simply leaving the matter in the
hands of his friends, believing that
the office should seek the man in F.
stead of the man making all kinds
if promises and doing anything and
everythingto get there.

Abraham, and Wen get there in the
sweet bye-andbye. The great trans
actions done and the country is
saved ouce more and we will now be
able to sleep with both eyes shut
for awhile, something we have been
afraid to do for some time with so
much Republican devilment going
on all around us. The election
passed off quietly, with no excite
ment or hard feelings, and the re-
turns came in very promptly and
will be found arranged in tabular
form in another column. This is
official and should be preserved.
We are prouder than ever of our
own William l.. Wilson, the "Schol-
ar in Politics." and the way in
which the gallant Democracy of
Preston stood so nobly by him in
spite of all the hard work done by
"our friends the enemy to beat
him. Republican rallys were held
in all parts of the county, the Silver
Cornet Band of Kingwood was pa
raded through the county to the
tune of $40 per day, paid in money
collected from the farmers by the
Mckinley Bill, the biggest guns in
the party were brought into the
county, Federal office holders with
wbiskey and Doodle were sent here
to work, and the orders were that
Wilson must be downed at all haz-
ards and that it could be done in
this county. Prof. Edward Startz
man Elliott, the "boy orator with
the waxed mustache," boosted OF
the big majority that would be trot-
ted out for Harmon, but it got very
lame and would neither trot, pace
nor rack as Harmon's majority is
nearly 100 less than the Republican
majority two Yeas ago. Where O

ELKINs IN KINGwOOD.
The Close OF the Campaign Mt this
pfnce.

The grand Republican blowout
that came off last Saturday did not
amout to much. 1t had been ad :
yertised in the Era and Journal rs
''The grandest rally OF the Cam
paign' &c. Posters had been sent
out all over the county and every
effort made to excite the people and
have grand rush to the county
scat, but it all fell very fiat.
Stephen b. Elkins came at noon
and was met by the brass band at
the depot and paraded to the Cor
don House. The great parade that
was to form at Albrightsville under
the marshaling of DIR. Bryte and
ccme into town with flags and ban
ners gay, probably got stuck in
the mud somewhere or was helping
the DR.. look after the Hon. Chas.
kantner and trying to hold him
down. AS it was the East side del
egatlon consisted oftwo men and n
dog, and n Jackass with little
flag stuck in his ear.
The meeting commenced in the
court room at two p. IN. Hon.
James A. Brown presided and in
troduced Mr.. Elkins as q million
aire protectionist and one who had
succeeded in making it pay &c,
but this did not take very well with
the horny handed sons of toll. BY
actual count there were present
l13 Republican votes out of over
5000 in the county.
The speech was very deceptive
one from beginning to end and the
fallacy of most of the statements
could be clearly seen when subject
ed to the light of reason and cold
hard facts and figures.
He tried to taffy the farmers By
telling them how the tariff had been
increased on grain, so rs to keep il
from being imported into this coun
try in competition with American
wheat, corn &c when the fact of
the matter is that if 1t could be sto-
len III the old country and brought
! over here free, it could not compete
with the grain of our great north
west where the farmers last year
had millions of bushels more than
they could use or dispose of and
could not get enough for their
corn to pay for hauling it to marke ct
and had to burn lots of it for fuel
and the idea Of putting tux on it
for fear the gardeners in the crowded
countries of the old world. where
there is hardly enough land to bury
the dead OH let alone raising corn to
compete with the agricultural re-
gion of this great country of ours.
He illustrated the beauties Of pro-
lection with Andrew Carnegie as a
brilliant example of how poor
man buy taking advantage of an in
iquitous measure could soon be roll
ing in his millions and rather in
simulated that the tariff would make
every poor man rich. lie spoke
about two hours and failed to con
vince his hearers Of the error of
their ways except those already on
