THE STATE PRESS AND POLITICS.

Shepherdstoipn REGISTER. We think twill
be q walkover for Mr. Wilson and run
over for Mr.. Wisner.
Putnam Dcm0crdt.-W. A. MacCorkle
made a favorable impression upon the null
titude here Saturday last. There IS GER
tainly no doubt but that Putnam will roll
I'D for him good majority at the election
in November next He is the man OF the
people, q good speaker and one who is not
afraid TO take hold OF workingman S
baud. In this he is unlike Banker Davis,
the Republican nominee.
Shephadstoicn Regtster.-There will be
some interesting politics along the West
Virginia Central railroad this fall. The
President, II. G.. Davis, is member OF the
Democratic Advisory Committee, and the
vice resident, :. Is. Eikins, IS cnleI mau-
ager OF the Republican campaign. Inc
question now is whether the father-in-law
or the son-in-aw is going 20 out general
Stephen is a slick article, but there are
but few longer political heads IN the
state than that which Henry u. Davis
carries around with niGl.
Brarton Democrat -Braxton will roll up
an immense minority for Grover Cleveland
and straight Democracy. The Democrats
are thoroughly aroused 10 the issues OF the
dav: they are earnest Bud enthusiastic IN
the glorious cause Of Democracy. Every
Democrat viii be 80 the polls on the sth Of
November TO contribute Ills share 70
making BraxtOp roll zap an unprecedented
majority for Cleveland and honest govern
ment. The people Of BraHton want no
more Of Republican miSruie; they are tred
OF high taxation aud want 10 Force oils
nor negro domination, and their sentiments
will be very iorci0iy expressed Ia Noyem'
bee.
lf9undsrUlc Eoh0.-It IS a question with
the voters Of the great Commonwealth OF
West Virginia 90 decide whether they will
trust 4 Elmer Davis with the administra-
ton Of the affairs OF the State-a man
who acknowledges that be has not The abil-
itv % drive the old spawned force
ON Republican team through the State, but
hands the reius over 10 g.. Wesley Akin
son, Jake Kempie and that TX 20 do BIS
hurrahing and speech making and spend
the dripping from his barrel-Or vote FOR
Bill MacCorkle a man who Is fully cOmpe-
tent 70 run his own campaign, can make his
own speeches, and Will be around In per-
son 10 visit every locality Ia the State.
such a man is Bill MacCorkle, "A man who
is fully competent 20 manage the campaign
and when elected Governor altogether cap
able of looking after the State affairs.
Brarton Democrat-El and others OF
the Republican bosses in this State are try
ing 10 dodge the Force bill issue. They are
trying 10 deceive the people into the belief
that the Republican party has abandoned
the Force bill and will never again try 10
pass il. But the people are not so easily
deceived: the Republican party is commit
ted to tue Force bill in their National plat
form and their candidate for President IS
for it. In fact more than nine-tenths of
. l.Te
get a chance il viii be the first measure
they viii pass. They are now simply try
ing 10 evade the issue because they begin
TO realize that the people are overwhelming
IL opposed 70 the Infamous and revolution
! Ery measure. It means disaster 70 them IN
| the elections TO stand oy the Force bill, but
they have made the issue aud it is too late
| for them 70 back cut.
Moundsrals Echo-Governor Fleming
completely demolished the Huntington
platform ia his speech at Fairmont on last
| SATURDAY.. The platform adopted oy the
unthinking faithful at Huntington must
| surely have been the production Of Stephen
| B. Elkins and intended for bluff, as no
| citizen who is acquainted with the history
| Of West Virginia since lo12 would have
| the temerity 10 make the charge that the
| State has lot prospered under Democratic
4
when the Republican party was turned out
| of power after being In control nine years
| only % miles OF railroad had been built,
| with half the population disfranchised, no
| State improvements, and the land titles
| by-word liz other States. II would be
| big thing TO ask of the people 70 again turn
the State government over 10 party who
only await the opportunity 70 colonize the
| State with negro voters and subject the
people to the ubiquitous force bill. No,
! the people will not risk them yet awhile.
Mo,lndSrGls EehO-The Wheeling Intellt-
qsncer strings up its old harpsiehord on the
/ tin plate fac and shows a news item pur-
| porting that six Welsh tin plate works
| have closed down on account OF the Nc
Kinley bill. This is queer. The Ameri-
| can trade is using as much tin as they ever
| did, and everybody Is cognizant Of the fact
| that the American tin plate works are not
/ turning out more tin plate that supplies
the Republican committee with tin badges
| for campaign purposes. Now the question
! arises, where does the tin come front
! There is one thing that is well known BY
| every householder in America, and that is
that the American people are paying about
| fifteen millions OF dollars year duty On
tin plate, all on account OF the iniquitious
Mckinley bill.
