UNF AIR TREATMENT.
A Republican Firm Reduces the
Wages Of Its Democratic
Employees.

CHICAGO, Nov. IA Herald special
from Canton, O, says: This morning
forty seven Democrats employed by
Russell & Co, of Massillon, quit work
because their wages had been reduced
The wages OF the Republicans were
not changed, and the only reason
given for reducing the Democrats
wages was because they voted for ]. G.
Warwick and against Maj. Mckinley.
Otto Young, a prominent Democrat,
who inquired of G. II. Russell if it
was true that the reduction had been
made, received the reply: Hereafter
in our shops free traders will receive
free trade wages" An indignation
meeting will be held by the citizens
to take action in the matter.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was thought to be incurable,
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stsntay falling to cure by local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci.
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and, therefore, re.
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

Cleveland Delighted.
INTERVIEWED ON THE RESULT
OF THE ELECTIONS.
The Democratic Party Has Made an
Honest and Earnest Fight.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-EI.President
Cleveland, in an interview with rt.
porter Of the United Press on the re.
suit, OF yesterdays election, said:
81 am delighted. challenge the
right of any man in the country to
rejoice more heartily than | over the
Re-, . t,r'lr's election. My
grttlt,g tiun is ~ a ~ American,
proud of his feilo@.countr!men, who,
though led away for time by party
prejudices and by blind confidence IL
cunning and selfish leaders, could not
be dqluded to their ruin. They have
demonstrated that, in dealing with
them. it i, not safe to calculate that
they aie stupid or needless of the well
fare OF their countrt men. The neces.
sity Of tariff reform with its conse
qu,nt reduction in the cost of living
and the duty of the Democratic party
TO advocate it has beer fully demon.
s'rated by the action Of the people
yesterday. Their decision has been
deliberately mad. and it is all the
more significant because they have
voted upon their reason and judgment,
and because they have proved that
corruption is powerless Ms against
their convic ions.
"Of course there is nothing for the
Democratic party to do but TO push on
the battle at all times and at all places
on the lines watch they have laid
down, that is to insist upon wise ad-
iustment OF tariff taxation to the rea-
sonable needs of the government, as
opposed to the plan which enriches
a favored class at the expense OF the
masses OF the people. Until victory is
won the question Of tariff reform will
not be settle and tn pledges and
professions of the Democratic party to
the people redeemed.
"0ur parry has made an honest and
earnest fight. 1t has planted itself
upon disinterested and uuselfsh de-
votion to the interests of the people.
Its absolute unity and harmony upon
The question Of tariff reform shows its
quick recognition of true Democratic
principles and its enthusiasm in u
cause which involves the popular vel
fare. Everywhere our leople ha' Q
done magnihcently, and the harvest
they have gathered has eeu molly
earned"
In answer to All inquiry as TO his
view on the operation OF the ballot re.
form law Mr.. Cleveland said:
II think there should be no more
opposition to the principle of ballot
reform. The evidence OF its useful
ness and benefit to the people regard
as conclusive. In some matters OF de-
tail the law in our State might per.
haps be improved. 1t seems to me it
would be well to obviate the necessity
fer so many separate ballets. But, af.
terra rVrl ft'- rr other similar OBJ
jectiuns are not vt."'iy important.
The thing upon whiun every honest
man should congratulate himself is
that We have law which protects
our voters from corruption and intim.
idalion, and is one OF those measures
OF relief ,.Hioh once adopted, will not
be sur andered."

The Danville and East Tennessee.
Danyille Register 5thl
The recent meeting OF the board OF
directors of the Danvi!le and East
Tennessee railway was held in Gen.
Thomas Ewing's Office in New York
on his call.
All the Danville directors and those
OF New York, except Messrs. Peck and
Bateman were present.
President Ewing stated that the
meeting hal been called to reorgan.
ize the board, so as to secure repre-.
sentation from other prominent points
along the line and from places from
which capital to build is expected to
come,
To this end, General Peck and Mr..
Stuart and all the Danville directors
resigned, doing so singly, so that
a quorum might elect their successors
as they went a long,
The present board as partially re-
organized consists of General Thos.
Ewing, of New York, President; Paul
Gorham. of New York, Secretary; A.
E. Bateman, OF New York, r. w. NJ.
Draper, Barton Myers and f. A.
Hitchcock, of Norfolk and James P.
Harrison, of Danvile.
Mr.. Harrison was reelected alter
resigning, because having been the
counsel for the road, the President de.
sired him to continue in the board.
There are other places to be filled
in the board and it is understood that
Danville will then have at least two
members.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Bate
man will tender his resignation as
soon as he returns home from Europe.
The board now has working quo.
rum without Mr.. Bateman's presence
and it is ready for work at once.
Mr.. Hitchcock was elected Treasur-
er, he being the representative of the
new capital.
Mr.. Draper was elected general
manager and chief engineer.
A Register reporter who called on
Mr.. Harrison yesterday afternoon
asked him what of the outlook.
He replied al am satisfied that the
new capitalists interested in the raod
mean business, and the prospects Of
the enterprise, which tor some time
have been dark, are now very bright"
He further said active work will be.
gin in ten days from now, provided
satisfactory rights of way through
Danyille and adjacent territory can
be secured.
Danyille Register 9Th
The outlook for the Danville and
East Tennessee road is encouraging.
The capitalists interested in the en-
terprise propose to spend fifty thou.
sand dollars in making the survey
and acquiring the right Of way, and
people do not usually expend that
amount OF money for the fun Of play
ing at railroad building. We learn
from good authority that the money
has been put up and this is the best
guarantee that the parties interested
mean business.

The Extension of the A. g. D. Railroad
Company.
suffolk Progress.

Suholk Progress,
From time to time we have express
ed our positive convictions that the
A. & d. railroad company would be
extended westward. There are sever
al reasons why we we're so confident
that this result would be accomplish
ed. In the first place,it was the origin.
al idea of the late President B. +. Til
lar, Senator Plumb and other prim9ry
promulgators of this railroad scheme,
as the only means by which the sue
cess of the A. & d. railroad company
could be assured. The present Presi-
dent OF the line, Gen. Ewing, while in
Portsmouth laid the plains before Il
number OF gentlemen in on~ orasonce,
and We were all convnc- ~ d ar
gument and his own earu.s.uteS tnat
he would not rest until this project
became an accomplished fact. Com
modore Bateman and his friends and
the English bondholders we knew did
all they could to favor the proposed
extension; and we know that the
present management have been
heartily at work to further this OBJ
ject. The projected trunk line we lelt
certain had too much intrinsic merit
to prove failure, and now we are
very glad to learn that the scheme
has taken definite shape.
The extension goes under the name
of the Danville and East Tennessee
company which is to run from either
Bristol or Johnson City to Danville,
and connect there with the Atlantic
and Danville railroad for Portsmouth.
This company was reorganized in New
York Saturday. The following are its
officers: General Thos. Ewing, OF New
York, President, 7. w. NJ. Draper, of
Norfolk, vice President and General
Manager; H. A. Hitchcock, of Nor
folk, Treasurer Paul Gorham, OF New
York, Secretary, Directors; The above
officers and Barton Myers, of Norfolk
A. E. Bateman, OF New York; James
P. Harrison ]. E. Reson, OF Danvelle.
The capital behind the enterprise
comes from New York, Boston, Chi
,ago and Danville. Mr.. Draper the
general manager, says that engineers
are now in the field making the sur
vey, and others will be put in at once
that the construction party will fol-
low the surveyors rapidly, and that
the road will soon be under way. He
says it is the most direct route yet
projected for reaching the great
wealth of iron, coal zinc lead and cop
per OF Virginia and Tennessee. Dan
vile has voted the road $150,000 and
Bristol $4,000. The western ter
minus is to be either Bristol or
johnson City, but which OF the two
slaces will be selected cannot yet be
stated. II Bristol it will connect there
with the South Atlantic and Ohio
railroad, East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia railroad and the Bristol and
Elizabethton. II Johnson City is se-
lected, it will connect there with the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
and the Three C's-the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago.
The extension Of this road will be a
great benefit to this city, as it will
open up new country whic' i'll be
tributary to our trade. u-e
the increase very largely OF Inc A. &
D. machine shops, round houses and
terminal facilities, and bring coal and
iron to our shores in the course Of
time that will rival the immense traffic
OF the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company.
