REPUDL,,AN vINpIcATIoN.


Gov. 4. Il. Fleming opened the
campaign in old Marion county last
Saturday in ringing speech on the
issues of the day. The Governor is
one of the most logical speakers i'm
the State, and his presentation OF
facts and figures is always plain and
forcible. There was one thing
which the Governor referred to-.
however, that we deem unneces-
sary. That was the vindication
business. The campaign Of 1890
was principally fought on vindi-
GATOR" of the gubcrnatorial con-
test, and the most bitter Republi-
can partisan will not deny that the
verdict as rendered by the people
was overwhelming and emphatically
in favor of Gov. A. b. Fleming,
and at no place was this verdict so
pronounced as in the counties of
Marion and Harrison, the home Of
Fleming and Golf. Marion re-
sponded nobly by an increased ma
jority as vindication of her favor
tie son. while Harrison could not
approve the claim set up by Golf and
her answer was that of redxced
majority. The Republican appeal
was loud and urgent for the pco.
pie TO "vindicate Golf" The
"vindication" was so unsatisfactory
to the General that lie concluded to
so on the Bench.
Then, again, Governor Fleming
should bear i'm mind that there was
no man who voted for him or took
part In the contest to seat HIM who
was compelled to leave the State of
West Virginia to escape punishment
for q violation of the election law
and the attempt to bride members
of the Legislature. 1t was the
creatures who voted and worked for
Golf who had to leave the State to
avoid prosecution. This is the kind
Of republicans who would charge
the Democracy with dishonesty in
politics. 1t is the same old story of

There is general complaint
among Preston county taxpayers
that their taxes are too high. Is
peeially is this so among the farm
ing element. Well, tax PAYERS, YOU
have no one to blame but YOUR
selves. The Republican party is
pronounced in its advocacy Of high
tariffs and high taxes. The lead
ers tell you very plainly the higher
the tariffs and taxes the more pros.
porous the people became. DO you
believe t.; II you DO, vote the Re.
publican ticket IL you don't, vote

In this issue we give full and
complete statement of the financial
condition Of Preston county for the
past year, all the receipts and ex-
penditures, showing that the county
is still over 81 200 in debt, but with
no bad luck ought to be able to get
clear by another year and perhaps
reduce the levy. Publishing this
statement is big job, and it is not
in IS good shape as we would like
to have 1t, because there arc so
many figures aud names that there
IS hardly country office in the
State with enough figures and cap.
tai letters to publish it all at once
in the proper shape. We hope our

CHIEF OF FRAUDS.
THE AMERICAN WORKMAN GETS TO
BENEFIT FROM TIN PLATE.

"Anrerienn' Tin Plato Made of imported

Imported Machinery.
There are several other bigger frauds.
when amounts are considered. that are
being worked ON tho American people
than the tin plate fraud; but this one is
pre-eniinent when the percentage of
frauds TO the dollar is taken into ac-
count. Ii matters but little Srom what
point Of view tue subject il approached.

more than ordinary day wages is i'm

viii find TINT this industry has done
them more harm than good. 1t is said
that some OF them are already sorry
that they stalled so much On it and made
such glowing promises.
The Hon. Thomas L. Bunting said in
congress June 1G: "The tin plate indus

Shively had prepared for him by the
chief of the bureau of statistics state

steel sheets, such as arc commonly used
for making tin and ternc plate. 1t should
be remembered THAT these plates consti-

Commenting upon this table 9lr.
Shively said: Every pound OF blacl:
plates noted in this table is os the proper
gauge and general character for tin and
tcrno plates. The plates noted are ready
to receive the coat of tim or tin and lead.
The normal importation and consuap-
ton OF these plates prior to the passa,;c
OF the act of 1890 IS shown by the statis-
tics for the fiscal years 1850 and 1890 re.
spectively." For comparison the prod
net of "Amcrican" tin plate as reported
by the special agent of the treasury do
partmcHt has been given in the last col
u;nn. Previous to tho quarter ending
Sept. 30, 1891, tin and telne plates wero
not made hero in commercial quantities.
though it is evident from the imports OF
black sheets inst previous to this time
that preparations wero being made to es-
tablish this now famous American"
industry.
AIR. Shively says: "These statistics, oil
of which are official, show that the
American production OF tin and terne
plates for the tlirep-quarters endin.,
March 81 was 5,2i0,830 pounds, while
the inportations of black plates for
the same period was 5,4iS,552 pounds.
Moreover, 1t must be remembered that
the ,3S9,5S2 pounds OF black sheets inn
ported during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1891, remain unaccounted for.
As Is shown by the importations for
1889 and 1880, the consumption OF i'm
ported black plates in this country prior
to the passage OF the act of 1880 did not
average over 5000 pounds per annuIn
Small amounts OF these plates have been
for years used IN the manufacture OF
signs and a few other articles. It Is
perfectly apparent that the bulk Of the
l,339, 5S2 pounds was imported for other
purposes. The real fact is that from the
time the act OF 1890 went on the statute
book TO March 81. 1852, there was i'm.
ported into the United States Q, 75S. IA4
pounds of black plates, and there was
made 5,24o $50 pounds of what the treas
ury department CONSTITUTES 20 be tin and
terne plates produced in the United
States, so that after making ample al
lowauce for al the imported black
plates consumed in TINS country for
other purposes we have left over 900
COO pounds to coat with tin and roturn
70 the treasury department at the end Of
the present quarter as tin plate pro
duced in the United States"
This, then, is the kind Of an industry
that protection is trying TO domcsticate
and put on exhibition here. The ami
mails in Baruun's circus are a. much
American as IL this industry and far
more useful FOR exhibition purposes.

End of the Criminal Charge Against the
Commissioner.
ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 24-when the criminal
charge against Charles F. Peck came up in the
police court this morning counsel prosecuting
did not appear and Mr.. Meegan, of counsel for
the defense, asked that the charge be
dismissed. The request was acceded to,
but later Mr.. Chase, as prosecuting attorney,
asked that instead Of dimissing the case IL be
put over until the week after election. Justice
Guttman then made his decision in accordance
with Mr.. Chase's wish. This makes the sixth
postponement that the Peck case has had in the
various courts.
When Mr.. Meegan heard Of this change he
hurried back to court and made objection.
The police justice then sent for Mr.. Chase and
there was quite spirited argument Mr.. Nee
gan argued that the case already before the
upper court, the grand jury having found an
Indictment This Was a superfuous movement
and be moved to dismiss because two indict-
ments OF similar nature could not be found.
The district attorney had said the case should
be dismissed.
Mr.. Chase said that il was not known what
the indictment of the grand Jury contained.
Mr.. Meegan said that IL 1t was so he would
subpoena the district attorney to tell Mr.
Chase did not answer this argument, and the
court finally dismissed the case.

JERRY" SIMPSONS CHANCES,
It Is Said That He viii Make Q Fight "a
Senator Perkins Seat.

TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. Alt is said that Jerry
Simpson has practically abandoned his cam
paign for Congress in the seventh district and
is devoting his entire attention to'his candidacy
for United States Senator to succeed Senator
Perkins. Republicans claim that Simpsons
defeat for Congress is certain and that he
has discovered that his election is impossible.
For nearly two weeks he has been
outside of his district and his
campaign Is receiving little or no
attention at the hands Of his congressional COM
mittee. He is occupying himself visiting legis-
lative districts in which both the peoples party
and democratic candidates are in the field for the
legislature. and in each case had. il is alleged,
endeavored to secure the withdrawal Of one
the other Of the candidates that the opposition
to the republicans may be united. A large pro-
portion Of the peoples party candidates for the
legislature have already been pledged to vote
for Simpson for the Senate in case OF election.
Kansas is districted for Legislative purposes
that the state might be carried by the rcprbli-
cans by good majority and vet majority of
the Legislature be elected by the peoples party.
This .as the case two years ago and II is not
impossible that it viii occur again.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24--The Erening Post SAYS:
The report, first published by the Detroit Free
Press. that ex-Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley had
determined to vote for Cleveland, has been
denied vigorously in many republican quarters,
and the Chicago Inter-Ocedn has
gone SO far as TO print a dispatch
from Ann Arbor in which Mr.. Cooley
