Why. There was small Attendance.
Castor OIL, Acorn Coffeo and tho
"FoncS" Bill Discussed.
TO ne Editor ofthe Tn,eltqenee.
sIR:-There has appeared in the Reg
lister OF the past two weeks several ac-
counts of a meeting held at Mount
Carbon, addressed by @. O, Watts and
John D. Anderson, and, in order to ac-
count for the meagre crowd wholisteped
to the speeches made by the aforesaid
gentlemen, the usual tactics had to be
adopted Of plain lying and misrepre-
sentation. Firstly, there was no report
circulated as to Mr.. Watts's presence or
absence. AS before iutimated, the
managers OF the Democratic arrange
ments then had to console the speakers
by advising that the primary cause OF
the slim gathering was the fact that
the general was not expected, clearly
confessing that the name OF John d.
Anderson has forever lost Its magical
charm in the Third Congressional dis
trict.
And then the wonderful and electric
flying speeches we're Of such an elevat-
ing tendency that We are not sur.
prised to hear that the subjects of Great
Britain were carried away with exhila-
ration. There would not have been
forty people present to hear the gentle
man had it not been for the free trains
and free whisky supplied by Queen
Victoria's subjects.
Do not forget the fact that Mount
Carbon and vicinity is a Welsh colony
and the Mckinley bill does not sit well
on their stomachs, even though they
have, and are making three times the
wages in this country than they could
hope 10 get in Wales.
1t is, however, very consoling to the
patriotic American citizens OF Fayette
county to know that not one-half Of the
100 people who heard the orations by
Watts and Anderson are citizens Of this
great and glorious county, and conse-
ouently cannot cast ballot to help
elect party whose political machine is
being bodied by money sent from
Europe.
Castor oil, acorn coffee and the "foace"
bill were the exciting themes for dis
cussion and you will no doubt admit
that it would take large quantities OF
Democratic whisky to get enthusiasm
out OF such issues. AS result OF this
compound mixture Of soul stirring ar
guments q Democratic primary meeting
was held in the school house two days
after, and though house to house call
was made, only four Democratic voters
and three boys with yaller dog re-
sponded, aud three OF the four repre-
eentatives OF now defunct party were
selected as delegates.
All that the Republican party asks is
TINT those same gentlemen, with others
OF the same calibre, be sent around to
every school house in the state, and as
q result the majority OF the Republican
party in West Virginia will be 10000.
Lying and hypocritical cant have been
practic ed upon hard working and hon
est PEG pie, the gilded side OF the cloud
is now appearing, and justice, which
has long been denied to the working
mon and the business people of West
Virginia is about to have its sway, and
such demagogues as Watts and Fergu-
son with Bill MacCorkle and his crew,
who at present are making so much love
to us miners and farmers. shall be for
ever relegated to the rear. Their SER
vices are no longer required, except
that they shall act as chief mourners in
the great procession Of British sympa-
thisors who shall follow to the grave on
November Sth next, forever to be bur
led, and never again to DO Fesurreeted,
the great English doctrine OF free trads.
