Why Reeds Lake IL Known Throughout

When strangers and visitors IN Grand

dent not SO old, where is the best place
TO keep cool and spend an enjoyable

tested from the fact that Reed 5

OF in terms OF highest praise
throughout tie length and breadth OF
the land. OF course. the attractions

sort, no matter what Its pre- tensions.
IL Is, without exception. as tine musl-
cal organization as can be found in the
country. The efficiency of this famous

Gathering at the police station for
assignment. A march movement is
heard IN the distance, increasing in
volume as the men approach. Each
one answers "Here!" to roll call, and
marches away to tie lonely patrol.
Passing along over his beat he hears
The Evening Hymn sung in happy

The sounds of a Merry Dance are heard
followed by n serenade. He gives a

the music of the serenade, he sings a

which ends by the discharge of pistol

ut TIL. BRUTE.

Asa general rule the New York Com
mcrcial Advertiser has reputation OF be-
ing a pretty fair specimen Of frst-class
afternoon newspaper. In former years It
used 10 be bitter against the South. Edu-
cation has enlightened II somewhat, but oc.
casionally the old poison will work out. 1t
has now Joined in the TRADE against recent
editorials which have appeared in southern
newspapers urging the support Of Tam
many. In It's edition on last wednesday IL
includes THE TINES, Of Richmond, In the
charge which elsewhere has been made gem
orally against the Southern press, and
which THE TIMES has denied more than
once, as far as this paper is concerned.
In the Commercial Advertiser an "Old
Reader" writes that The TIMES stated on
October Dist "that SOutherners in New
York who vote for candidates Of the County
Democracy will help 10 elect the next Re-
publican candidate for President" To this
the editor Of the Commercial Advertiser re-
plies: "The articles in question, as our
reader has doubtless learned by this time,
were written by Tammany men in New
York city and sent TO the southern papers
for publication"
''Old Reader evidently had not read The
TIMES Of October 2lst, or any other copy of
The TINES. Not only did THE TINES not
make such statement as "Old Reader
asserts, but that its position might be
thoroughly understood, wrote on October
18th: "As far as TnE TIMES may see the
present campaign in New York has moth
ing 10 do with the Presidential canvass Of
1892. 1t has to do with the Congressional
elections of 1890"
In his editorial column the editor of the
Commercial Advertiser omits 10 mention
THE TIMES In his statement that "the arti-
Giles were sent from New York, and the
names of the writers are in our possession"
lie did include The TINES in his editorial
reply to "Uld Reader"
The charge is absolutely false, as The
TINES has rot received any matter from
New York written there. The editorial in
question was written by one of the regu-
lar editorial staff of THE TIMES in our Of
flee In Richmond, approved by the managing
editor Of THE TINES, and was the entire
work Of THE TIMES. We demand that the
Commercial Advertisers editor prove that
THE TINES editorial was written in New
York, and failing TO prove it, TO correct his
mistatement.

HON. WILLIAM L. WILSON.

The canvass which Mr.. Wilson is con-
Quoting in the West Virginia district that
he has represented in Congress for num-
Der OF years with so much distinction, is OF
hardly less interest TO the members of the
national Democratic party than the can
yass of Mr.. Mckinley is TO the members OF
the national Republican party. Mckinley
is not more thorough and uncompromis-
ing exponent Of an advanced protective
policy than Wilson is OF the principle
which calls for radical reduction in our
present exorbitant tariff. Both are men
whose opinions carry the greatest weight
with their Congressional associates, be-
cause they are men Of unquestioned integ-
rity and trained ability.
Wilson is as important factor IN his
party as Mckinley is in his; his powers OF
debate, his wit humor, sarcasm and keen
analysis, added TO profound knowledge
making him, with one or two exceptions,
now that Carlisle has been promoted to the
Senate, the most conspicuous figure in the
Democratic Congressional delegation.
w III a. kOtu itiutOl0tiO NblAihS hA-
jority in the next House his services will
be almost essential in the renewal of the
great tariff struggle which is certain 10 take
place on the floor Of Congress when il as
sembles in the winter of 1891. His name
has been prominently mentioned for the
speakership in case Of his reelection, but
even il he should fail in securing the honor
of election to that high Office, he would
occupy the leading position on the floor.
The retention of SO useful and able man
in Office is matter of the highest concern
10 the Democrats in every part Of the Union,
and IL is a cause for general congratulation
that his prospects Of reelection are ex-
fremely bright. Mr.. Wilson has been max
ing a canvass Of great activity and energy
from one end of his extensive district to an
other, journeying day after day over the
mountainous roads, and meeting the people
at courthouse, and village, and country
store, and delivering everywhere he has
gone speeches which have aroused a strong
feeling OF enthusiasm.
The Democratic majority in the district
is always quite narrow, as the series Of Mr..
Wilson's majorities in past years will show
In 1882 he was elected by majority of ten
votes only, but in 1884 by majority OF
1850; in 1886 by majority Of 63. In 1883
his majority rose 10 $50, which is generally
considered TO be the normal Democratic
majority in the district.
The latest adyices are highly favorable TO
MIR. Wilson securing in the approaching
election a still greater majority, in spite OF
the use which the Republicans are making
OF a campaign fund OF large proportions,
furnished by those outside as well as those
inside the State, who re interested in the
defeat OF Mr.. Wilson because they recog.
nize the powerful influence which he exer-
cises In opposition to the perpetuation Of
the present tariff system, system Of which
he has always been consistent and un- |
compromising enemy. Democrats every |
where will unite in the earnest wish that
he may be returned TO Congress by an I'M
usually large majority.

DICKINSON COUNTY.
Buchanan's Prospects Bright In the
Ninth.


CLINTwooD, VA, Oct. Sl.-lspecial. r.
Saturday was gala day for the
Democrats of this place. Hon. John
A. Buchanan spoke to considerable
crowd, many Republicans being pres
ent. The weather was very inclement,
it had been raining for several days and
was very unpleasant time, which doubt
less prevented quite number Of our citi-
zens from coming out, otherwise there
would have been a large crowd, rs every
one seemed anxious TO hear the speak
ing. Mr.. Buchanan spoke something
over two hours, and never did |
know speaker listened TO with
more attention. The speech was iorcible
and logical. The speaker has wonderful
power of subordinating everything he says
TO purpose, and OF presenting things in
their true light. He condemned the Lodge
Force bill in the strongest terms, and
showed clearly the evils that would result
from the passage OF such an Infamous bill.
He exposed the Inconsistent es of the Re-
publican party in their legislation in Con-
gress, the ruinous effects Of the Mckinley
Tariff law, and the late Pension law.
ID. +. Bailey and John {. Summers, of
Abingdon. were in this county few days
ago. presumably organizing the Republicans
for an effort, but they do not seem 10 en-
thuse "worth cent" Bailey and summers
were Democrats a few years ago. Summers
went over the country preaching white SUI
premacy and condemning negro rule, and
remarked upon several occasions that he
was white man, wore Il white shirt, and
rode white horse; bi I, alas! he has
changed his color, politically, and is now
doing dirty work for a party that is made
up Of Inconsistencies. There does not seem
TO be any fears entertained by our best in
formed Democrats as to the result of the
election being in our favor.

dutIe. which thew are sworn and are paid

duties which they are sworn and are paid
10 perform.
For all practical purposes, the machinery
Of the national Government during the next
few days will be wholly suspended in order
that the supposed servants OF the people In
national Office may have an opportunity to
debauch the suffrage by the employment OF
every improper means for moulding the
popular will. Deserving their posts In
Washington, these Government officials are
now actively engaged not only in speaking
and doing general campaign work, but In
distributing the campaign corruption funds
which have been raised by demands upon
the purses OF subseryient manufacturers.
II there were no other reason for the re-
turn Of the Democratic party TO power, the
necessity of restoring the Government to
the business footing upon which 1t was
placed under Cleyeland's' administration
should be sufficient in itself TO influence
the people at large TO cast their ballots in
mass for the Democratic candidates in the
approaching elections. With Democratic
majority in the House, whether the Repub-
licans still held the senate and the PFesi-
dency or not, the present condition Of al
fairs in the national departments at Wash
ington would not be allowed TO prevail for
any great length Of time.
With Democrat in the White House
the repetition Of recent scenes would be an
impossibility, and there is not citizen OF
the United States who has the interests of
his country at heart who would not con-
slider that fact ample reason for desiring
the reinstatement of the Democratic party
in power in every branch Of the national
Government.
