A SMALL CROWD
Listens to Small Republican Talk mt
Philippi.

Special Ietegfdm 10 me hcQtstfF
PnILIrPI, October G.-As was an
nounced in last weeks Philippi RCpub-
lican a good old-fashioned Republican
love feast was TO be held at the Court
House to-day. w. ). Elliott, of King
wood, and John II. Holt, Of the Grafton
Sentinel. were billed as the speakers.
From early morning until ten o'clock
rain poured down in torrents. Chair
man Scott met Holt at the train and
escorted him to the Philippi hotel. FL
lott failing 10 put in his appearance at 1
o'clock. A small crowd was finally col
lected in the court room, one-half OF
whom were Democrats, to listen to
what your correspondent heard many
old farmers remark after it was all
over, 1.-THE same old chestnut of pro-
lection to American industries"
Mr.. Holt in his speech told the farm
ers they were all too poor to wear Il
garment or to buy an article of any
kind on which they paid one cent of
tax to the National Government: that
only the wealthier class could afford
such Injuries in these days of protec-
tion. He asSailed the Hon. w. H..
Wilson for having told our farmers
that they ever paid tax on
an article OF any kind which
they consume and compared pro-
lection to free trade England. and told
the farmers they would be reduced to
mere serfs if they voted for anything
but protection this fall. He closed by
telling all about the great Democratic
theft of counting out their Governor
Gof. His speech was considered a very
weak effort and evoked no applause
from his listeners. and Il mere glance
over the small crowd showed by the
countenances Of the old farmers that
they were too much enlightened to di-
geSt the old worm-eaten tariff chest

take off Captain Haines. A cab with
two fast horses was also waiting
at the Battery to receive the Captain
as soon as be landed. The Etruria
reached Quarantine at II o'clock.
CAPTAIN HAINEs ARRIVES.
The crowd in the rotunda during the
evening was, If anything more dense
than that which filled it during the af-
ternoon, and the wait for the incoming
of the expected steamers was a long and
dreary one. The importers had made
special arrangements for bringing Cap
tain HaineS, Of the Etruria, TO the Gus
tom House as soon as he landed at the
Barge Office. and Deputy Collector Gun
ner, of the Navigation Division, expect
ed him at a quarter past eleven o'clock.
III give 500 10 have that clock set
back ten minutes as they do in Con-
greSS," yelled an excited broker. I'D
gladly set it back if had the authori-
ty," said Mr.. Gunner, but have no
right to do it and at midnight precisely
this division will be closed"
From that time on all the brokers had
their watches in their hands, and their
eyes turned toward the door.
Hell be here before the clock
strikes, said an enthusiastic broker who
represented a house hayinga big invoice
on board the Etrura. referring Of course,
to Captain Haines, OF that ocean racer
Deputy Collector Gunner had turned
down the gas at his desk and had begun
to call out. formally, The Custom House
is closed, when there was a commotion
and burst Of cheering at the door, and
before Mr.. Gunner uttered the word
CLOSED" the crowd parted and Captain
Haines. accompanied by his purser. en-
tered the rotunda.
Such cheer as went mp when the
Captain. with his iron gray side whis-
kcrs and bright blue eyes was rccog-
nized is not likely TO be- heard in the
Custom House for many a day.
Deputy Collector Gunner had left his
desk when the Captain made his ap-
pearance, but sat down at another near
er the door as soon as he recognized
him, and in a twinkling the ships
papers were signed and her cargo was
guaranteed against the excessive duties
decrced by the Mckinley bill. 1t was
abort the closest shave ON record and
Captain HaneS amply deserved the en-
thusiaStic cheers that greeted him.
Just how much Of the merchandise on
board the Etruria escapes the eXactions
Of the Mckinley bill by the entrance Of
the vessel is not known, but all the
brokers had their papers ready and the
officials were ready and accommodating;
hence it may be inferred that the clear
ance was comparatively complete.
The Xaandam'S captain did not make
his appearance in time, and those who
had goods on board of that vessel must
pay their duties under the new law.

Blaine said this afternoon, in answer to
inquiries on the subject, that he could
not at this time say positively whether
he would be able to take an active part
i'm the Ohio campaign. or to accept the
invitation TO attend the Exposition at
Atlanta. He said that Mr.. Mckin-
lev had sent him an invitation, and
that he had promised to render him all
the assistance in his power. He would
like very much to go to Ohio in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's interest, as it would give him
pleasure to go to Atlanta, but the in
tercst of the Department is just now so
pressing that he did not see very well
how he could absent himself, especially
rs the President is away.
