MIR. TPPETF ENDORSES THE TICK
EFT, But -.


Mr.. G. w. TIPPETT, of the Point
pleasant Register, and late member of
the army of authorship candidates who
fell in the memorable battle Of Parkers.
burg, in addition to heartily endorsing
the ticket from top to bottom has the
following pointed remarks concerning
his own defeat:
The result of the convention, in one par
ticular, is not as we would have 1t, nor as
we had hoped it would be, but comoina-
ton of circumstances decreed II should De
otherwise, add while we come out OF the
race considerably dishgured and badly
used up, we are still a Democrat, and Will
do now, as we have always done, give the
ticket a Jealous, loyal and hearty support.
We have spent the best part OF our lie
in unfolding and battling for the Demo
cratic party and its grand principles, with
out reward.
We had hoped that our years Of service
10 the Democratic party would be rec0g-
nized, and were led by men who are nigh
up in the party, to believe that we would
have their loyal support and influence IN
our contest for Auditor, but like many an
Oluet CduQlQdlS, VIC WGLG bd9S41 NCCCANNS
by our friends and turned down.
Ia Wood county and Calhoun county
where each county has candidate for
Congress to succeed Mr.. Capehart, in 1894,
not a vote was cast for any of the four can
didates for Auditor in the Fourth District
The delegates from Wood and Calhoun
seem TO have taken special pleasure IN
throwing their votes TO the Candidates in
the First and Second districts, as a piece
Of political strategy to capture delegates in
the next Congressional contest for the
nomination OF their respective candidates.
We were promised ten votes out Of the
Wood county delegation, and got nary one.
Holly Armstrong and Geo. Hundley were
promised the same.
The three candidates from Mason, Jack
son and Roane had right to expect the
votes of Wood and Calhoun, but as they
did net get them, have these counties "a
right TO expect that either Tippett, Arm
strong or Hundley will tear their shirts IN
order to carry the counties OF Mason,
jackson and Roane TO the Calhoun or
Wood county candidates who will be be-
fore the Congressional Convention for
nomination! Not much They will be
very apt TO be for some other man, and
Wood and Calhoun counties will have no
right 10 complain; and notice is hereby
served that Hon w. w. Thomas, of Put
nam county, will be the Democrat who
will succeed Mr. Capehart in 1894.
We have no quarrel with the Mason
county delegation. They did their duty,
and STOOD by US Loyalty, every one OF them,
until we authorized the withdrawal OF our
name, and requested the vote to be thrown
to Mr.. johnson, which was done. thus paw
ing the way for the nomination Of Mr..
Lewis, OF our own county.
We make this explanation because to do
| less woued make US appear as cur and a
coward in the eyes Of the people Of this
State.

Forrest w. Brown.

Our popular young townsman, Forrest
w. Brown, Esq, had a very tlattering
vote to back him for Attorney General
in the Democratic State Convention
last week. But for the nomination of
Mr.. Johnson (alSo of this district for
Auditor. Mr.. Brown would have gone
into the convention with nearly five
hundred votes, and been nominated on
the first ballot. After the nomination
OF Auditor from this district the Attor-
uey General was by many conceded to
the First district, and Mr.. Browns
name was not, therefore, presented to
the convention. Mr. Brown is, however,
not only one of the ablest young law
yers In the State, but personally popu-
lar wherever known, and his time for
political preferment is bound to come.

New YORK, Aug. 4.-There seems to
be good reason for believing that John
L. Sullivan has made the long dreaded
break and jumped over the traces. III
is not thought to be an aggravated
case, but sufficiently serious 70 cause
his hackers much concern.
The story goes that Trainey Casey
has all but given up the task OF en-
deavoring to master him, and will give
way to Prot. Jim Robinson, of the Man
haitian Athletic Club. Sullivan and
Casey had a tiff few days ago. The
trainer became suspicious that his
charge was not restricting himself 10
the proper diet when his back was
turned for the reason that Sullivan did
not lose weight like he should have
done.
IN THE FIRST
two days of his preliminary training
Sullivan lost thirteen pounds simply by
exercising in the big hand-ball court In
Brooklyn. In two weeks OF actual
training at Conoe Place Inn, on Long
Island, fourteen and one-half pounds
were taken off. This was only after the
most drastic course of treatment had
been undergone.
During the third and last week of
training up to date Sullivan, despite the
hardest Of hard work, reduced only a
few pounds.
This Get Casey to thinking. He ar
gued that Sullivan must have partaken
OF forbidden fruit in the shape OF food
or liquids. He charged the 'big fell
low to that effect. The champion re-
scented The charge and the espionage in
his usual blunt, outspoken way.
easy at once returned to Brooklyn to
consult with Charley johnson, Sullivan 5
hacker. Afte- elaboration visit to
Prof. Robinson at the Manhattan Ath-
letlc Club followed. Robinson has en-
gagged TO assist in
sULLIvAN's TRAINING.
Casey, it is understood, declared that he
wouldn't be responsible for the cham
pion'S condition on September z, and
made positive demand upon Johnston
that another trainer be selected.
Casey will stay at Canoe Place Inn for
some time yet. If not to the end OF Sui
ivan's fsttc preparations, but Robinson
will be the big fellows guiding star and
directing force.
Accompanied by Johnston and jim
ME Wakeley, Prof Robinson left for
Goodground this afternoon. Prof. Rob
inson has put Sullivan into shape be-
fore, and Johnston and his friends be-
lieve he can do it again.
Meanwhile Jim Corbett is as fine as
razor and ready for battle at moments
notice.

DAYTON Times: In 1867 John Sher-

the Ohio wool grower, induced congress
to put a protective tariff on wool. At

in 1880 to 40 cents. and at present is
down to 25 cents. In 25 years. with a
duty so high as to shut down hundreds OF
