A late scheme being practiced in
many parts of the State is for an
individual to go to storekeepers
and state that he is purchasing rare
coins and produces price list, ask
ing the store-keeper to watch for
such coins. Soon another fellow
comes in purchases some articles
and exhibits several curious coins,
which he claims are pocket pieces.
According to the merchants list,
they are worth forty or fifty dol
lars. He sees a chance to make
some money and after some trouble
secures the coin for a good price.
The coin hunter never returns and
finally the merchant realizes that
he has been swindled.

ALE NAILED BEFOREHAND.

LIE NAILED BEFOREHAND.
The Republican managers have seen
the evidence that the Stevenson demon.
stration tomorrow. will be the greatest
ever held in Wheeling, and they have
laid plans to break its force and effect.
Either to-day or tomorrow the I1ltelli-
gcpcer will publish a rehash of the cam
paign lies that have been circulated
against Gen. STEVENSON regarding his
interest in the coal mines Of Illinois.
We have reliable inside information that
this scheme will be sprung in the IN
telligencer, as will be seen from a COM
munication signed Workman in another
column on this subject.
They have gone to the trouble of
sending man to Illinois to work up
the necessary material.
There is one vital item, however,
which the TnteIligelcer will leave out of
its publication, namely, the letter of
President MCBRIDE, Of the Mine Work
ers' Union, who thoroughly and en-
phatically denied that Gen. STEVENSON
had ever shown any antagontsm
to the miners, or the union, or
to union labor. The letter from
President MCBRIDE was unsolicited
by the Democratic leaders and was in
answer to a request for Information
from the editor of the Labor Leader, in
which it was made public. In its cur
rent issue the Journal Of United Nine
Workers, in answer to query vouches
for its authenticity.
Do the local Republican schemers and
the hlteliigeHcer know more about the
attitude of Gen. STEVENSON toward the
miners and union labor than the miners
and laborers themselves?

Holds q Splendid Meeting at Blueheid.
Telling Speech.
Special Correspondence Of the Register.
BLUEFIELD, w. VA, October 27.-
Hon. Allen O'Meyer, the distinguished
Democratic canvasser, is here. He
failed to make connection yesterday
evening for Bramwell, where he was
billed, and where a tremendous crowd
was out TO hear him, composed OF DEM
ocrats and Republicans. But the sur
prising feature of the evening was the
large percentage OF workingmen pres
ent. A number Of coal operators were
on hand, representing Republican in
terests. Fortunately for the Demo-
Gratis, Webb, the State organizer Of
labor, was present, and was loudly call
ed upon for a speech. Mr.. Webb stated
in response that he was not there
representing the Democracy or
Republicanism, but as q repre-
sentative Of the working class.
During his remarks he arraigned the
monopolists and oppressors OF the
laboring people, and called upon any
coal operator present to stand up II he
was a friend of organized labor No one
responded, although a dozen or more
were present. He then requested II
one was present who would allow him
to meet their workingmen even on the
top of their hills;no response. Then came
another request: Is there one coal oper-
ator present who will meet with the
men and myself in consultation for the
Advancement Of their interests? Not
one responded. And still another: Is
there one who favors an increase OF
wages in any department OF your works?
Is there present a single individual who
can stand up tonight and say that
his wages have been increased under
the Mckinley bill! Or is there miner
present who can stand up tonight and
conscientiously assert that he is getting
81 cents ton for mining their coal? Is
there one who can say he gets 90 cents?
Out of all this startling list of ques-
tions propounded by Representative
Webb no response came, except In the
last instance, one miner arose and said
he believed he got about Is cents. The
occasion turned out to be lucky hit
for the Democrats. Hon. A. c. Davidson
was called on and made telling speech.
The Republican leaders got mad, and
the lie was freely passed. Rucker was
present, and mounted the platform and
tried to speak in defense of his Re-
publican "boodle holders. He appealed
loudly but vainly to his rapidly disinti-
grating forces. The whole outfit went
into a topsy turvy confusion and the
Republicans were soundly thrashed. 1t
was indeed black eye to the &. o. p.
in this section. and triumph for Dem
ocrscy. Rucker and Sturgiss are
speaking here this afternoon. Your
correspondent sized their crowd by
actual count and found eighty hearers
listening TO labored efforts.
Meyer spoke at Bluefeld last night,
and will speak again tomorrow to the
biggest crowd ever assembled in Blue
field. He has been well advertised.
Both parties are we'll organized and the
contest IN this most important section
is interesting.

The REGISTER is in receipt almost
daily OF urgent requests from Demo-
Gratis all over the State to call attention
to the efforts OF Republican workers
and handlers OF the Doodle to hire Dem
ocrats to stay away from the polls on
election day-which, of course, under
the secret ballot law, is the only way
they can make sure of their men.
That this is being attempted every
where is fully attested by these numer-
Gus communications from every section
of the State, which are all Of the same
tenor, namely that the boodlers are at
work in the highways and byways OF
every county offering Democrats
any price to stay away from the
polls. And from every section come re-
quests for the aid of the law to stop
this wholesale attempt to rob the people
of their rights. The REGISTER has ad-
vised the employment of detectives to
track down and arrest the men engaged
in this infamous work. We repeat this
advice to the Democratic committee
with emphasis. These rascals are work
ing among the poor people to many OF
whom dollar is as big as a cart-wheel
and $40 note fortune.
The REGISTER has confidence enough
in the honor and patriotism OF West
Virginia Democrats, no matter how
poor in worldly goods they may be, to
believe that the boodlers will meet
with small success in tempting them to
sell their rights as American freemen,
and dishOnor their manhood.
As he believes liberty and freedom
are above all price let no Democrat stay
at home on the day of election.

London Money Market.

week discount began to droop and brokers
appeared little disposed to support the

on Friday, when the Bank of England,

commenced borrowing in the market. 1t
is now probable that the Bank of England
will advance its rate TO 4 per cent by
Thursday next, especially in view Of the
advanced rate of the Bank of Ger
many, which throws an increased de-
mand on London, while the outflow
to Egypt is likely to continue, and Scotch

afterwards the tone became fiat in sympa-
thy with the market in New York. But

cept that it claims that the County

complexion that the admitted fact that
il appointed Republican deputy for
Democratic assessor to relist the vote
OF Elkhorn district, with the aid OF a
u. S. Marshal, in order to have list
ed the Illegal and imported colored vote.
I do not think Democratic Court would
have been so anxious to have this lllesai
vote listed and the work OF Demo-
cratic Assessor revised by Republican.
Another reason to be given for my posi-
ton on the complexion of the County
Court is that one of the Commissioners
was elected in 1888 and another in 1890
and at both of these elections the county
went Republican. These on their race
sre proof that the ITltelitgencer's asser-
ton is false Nor can it be supposed
that Republican Court that would
convene in special session to appoint
Republican deputy assessor to list the
illegal vote would act so inconsistantly
as to appoint Democratic election
boards.
