Republicanism took possession Of the
people and manifested itself in a
political demonstration OF magnificent
and unbounded proportions. 1t was
the close Of the Republican campaign
in Taylor county, and Grafton was the
rallying point.
People tlockod to the town in hun
dreds, on foot, on horseback and in con-
veyances OF all kinds, and the trains
brought otherenthusiast which.swelled
the crowd to vast proportions. The
streets were lined with people all day
and far into the night, and cheers for
Harrison, "Davis" and the Republi-
can ticket made the very air resound
with loud huzzas. There were two
great professions, one in the afternoon
and one at night, and, after each, NAM
moth meetings were held and we're ad-
dressed by Senator Davis. ex.Congress-
man Mudd, OF Maryland, w. w. Grang-
er, OF Washington, D, G., Senator Wor-
ley. Hon. John II. Holt and other we'll
known local Speakers. The afternoon's
procession presented unique and i'm
posing spectacle with its $50 mounted
horsemen gailantly led by Marshal +.
Bruce Blue and forming magniicent
cavalcade which extended in line over
half mile long. Transpafencies with
campaign inscriptions and numerous
banners were proudly carried IN the
great cavalry procession, which lasted

toward the fictitious mixed school
question, and other false charges made
without tine slightest foundation to
arouse the prejudice and partisanshlp
of the Democrats and keep them in
line"
Mr.. Davis has made a conspicuously
honorableand straightforward campaign,
and the warfare OF SANDER and misrep-
resentation that the Democratic press
has been engaged in only emphasizes
the desperation TO which It is driven in
its futile attempts TO stem the coming
Republican victory.
In this connection, attention might
be called to another example OF llagrant
Misrepresentation in the article in Sun
days Register sent from here as a report
OF yesterdays Republican demonstra-
ton. The hardihood OF such reckless
misstatement is amusing in its boldness
to any Democrat or Republican who
was in Grafton yesterday and witnessed
the magnificent demonstration that far
surpassed the most sanguine expecta-
tious. The Register heads the article,
"Graiton's disappointment" and il il
had inserted the word Democratic"
between tho other two words. il would
for once have told u yerv palpabie tfuth.
However, the great concourse OF people
who witnessed the magnificent demons
tration know all about il, and the man
ner in which they greeted Senator
Davis illusions to the misaepressnta.

In the interest Of fair play tho INTEL
LlGENcEE desires to say frankly and with
absolute truth, that this letter was not
procured from Major Stalnaker, nor has
he any knowledge that it is in the In
TELLiGENuIE's possession. This ex-
PLANTATION is made because it is known
that Major Stalnaker is indignant over
tho tact that Secretary 0hley allowed
his letter to get out, and it might be
thought that Major Stalnaker had iurn-
ished Chairman Chi!ton's letter by way
OF taking sweet revenge. How these
Interesting matters OF correspondence
between prominent and active Demo-
Gratis in West Virginia get into the
hands oil the enemy is something which
the parties interested may work out for
themselves. There is more shot in the
locker, and ii necessary 1t will be fired.
Enough has been given to show that
Major Stalnaker has been in contiden-
ilal relation with the Democratic state
committee, with its chairman rs well US
with its secretary. Moreover, tho
scheme to run FREQ excursion trains
for cOlored voters in order to get them
ont oi tho state on election day was
actually on foot, and was exposed by
tho lNTRLLlGENGER before Major Stalna-
ker's letter came into the possession Of

WEST VIRGINIA OUTDOOR.

How the State win Go Tomorrow, If
There 1, Free Vote and IA Fair Count.
On the eve OF battle West Virginia is
all right. Everything points to Re-
publican majority OF at least 1000.
This is indicated by a careful poll OF the
state.
The Democratic state committee
makes the absurd claim that the state
will 90 Democratic by between 5000
and 1000. A poll OF state showing as
wide gap as 1000 with minimum Of
5000 would be so utterly worthless that
no committee fit TO be in politics would
base any prediction on it. The Demo-
cratic committee has no such poll. 1t
has not been able to figure out any ma
jority at all. After their best figuring
the Democratic managers are confront
ed with Republican majority, and
their only hope is in fraud and intimi-
dation. They staked some hope on free
excursions for negroes, but the INTELLI-
GENcER has knocked the bottom out Of
that.
The party OF protection has the votes
II tho voters go to the polls, get in their
votes and get them counted West Nir-
ginia will as certainly be Republican as
the sun sets on election day The vote
will be out. There is every reason to
believe that precautions have been
taken to protect voters in their rights
and TO secure fair count. The Demo-
cratic politicians have prepared TO use
repeaters, but word has gone out, and
this scheme, too, will hardly succeed.
There has been hard fight and Repub-
licans will not yield en- inch until their
work Is done. 1t is to be hoped that
the election may pass of quietly and
with credit to the state.

this letter. 1t is not the sort Of letter
that could be manufactured to order,
and 1t IS not probable that anybody in
terested in the Democratic scheming
would let it get out if he could help it.
Yesterday morning reporter OF the
IXTELLrGEScER met Major Stalnaker,
just rs he was coming out Of the Hotel
Windsor, and knowing that Secretary
Ohley had been in town over night,
asked the Major ii he was going to call
on Secretary 0hley.
"Yes, am. Ihave business with Mr..
0hely and desire to see him." Later
in the day the ISTELMGENcERmet Major
Stalnaker and asked him how he and
Secretary Ohley made out about the
letter.

over an hour and drew from the multi
tude OF spectators that lined the streets
huzzas OF applause.
The meeting that followed the after
Moons procession was held in the
Opera House, every seat OF which was
occupied, the aisles were packed and
the galleries were crowded. There was
scarcely an inch Of standing room in
the entire building and as Senator
Davs appeared on the platform he was
greeted with n magnificent ovation and
cheered to the echo as the next gov
ernor OF West Virginia" "
John IL. Holt presided at the meeting
and every sentence OF his brief, intro
ductory address was punctuated with
tumultuous applause. Lis references
to the coming great Republican land
slide in West Virgins, and the sure
victory throughout the nation under
the leadership of that great statesman,
Benjamin Harrison, provoked deaien-
ing cheers, which eliminated in q
scene OF wild applause and lond and
prolonged cheering when Mr.. Holt pre-
sented Senator Davis to his friends and
noighbors rs the next governor OF
West Virginia"
The superb ovation with which Mr..
Davis was received by his fellow-citizens,
among whom his life had been spent,
was grand tribute 10 the Republican
candidate for governor. 1t was some
time before the applause permitted
him TO speak, and the address that fol.
lowed was made up OF manly, dignitied
sentences that were the expressions OF
sincere, honest, business man who
possessed the unbounded confidence OF
all who knew him. Every ono Of his
utterances was brought to period By
the spontaneous applause OF his great
audience. Mighty cheers broke out at
frequent intervals in the course OF his
address. Mr.. Davis said he made no
claims to oratory, and confessed some
embarrassment in this, his first appear
ance on a public platform in his homo
town and in the presence OF his friends
ind neighbors, and he only felt assured
from the fact that candidate McCorkle
had appeared on the same platform
earlier In the campaign and he had no
fears OF suffering by the contrast. The
audience caught Senator Davis point
instantly and cheered it eXultantly.
Mr.. Davis scored the local Democratic
paper here Tor the scurrulous campaign
it has been making against him, and its
gross misrepresentation of his position

Ever since the INTELLIeENcER's publi-
cation of Major Ran stalnaker's letter
to Secretary ohley, of the Democratic
state committee, the Democratic mana
gers have been trying to find some way
TO get out of the scrape. They have
induced the Regatcr to come as nearly
as it could to- repudiating Major Stall
maker by seeking to convey the idca
that as he is not member of the state
committee he is aperson OF no conse-
quence.

nial Of the authenticity of the letter
and follow it up by denying that the
managers of the Democratic campaign
Aan not be held responsible for him

iutnor as soon as it shows its face. The

THE REAR END.
Again the Freight Train Crashes
Into the Work Train.
But Few Charred Bones OF Several Per-
sons All That Was Left-Another
Conflagration at Brook

ALEXANDRIA, Mimi, Dec. IA
wreck occurred on the Great Northern
at Nelson, about six miles east of here
at 1 o'clock this morning. The wreck
ers stationed at this place were clearing
up small wreck that occurred the
night before, and after finishing the
work about 9 o'clock, the men went in
to the caboose and soon fell asleep, ex-
pecting the wrecl1er to pull out for St
Cloud at any time.
About o'clock an eastbound freight
came down the long grade west of Nell
son and ran into the rear end of the
wrecixer at almost full speed. All the
men in the caboose were killed except
two who jumped through the window
before the train caught fire. Three
men were taken from ths burning
caboose, but were dead, and the rest OF
the bodies were burned. Four of the
men were found, but all but one was so
badly burned that nothing but the
bones remained. Six other men, who
were in a box car, were badly injured
and one fireman was also badly hurt,
having an arm broken.
1t is pretty hard to lay the blame on
any one person in this case, as the con-
ductor had orders to run in on the side
track at Nelson and the engineer claims
he tried to slack up so they could open
the switch, but there was not u brake
man on car and being loaded and
coming down n grade it was impossible
for him to do so. The brakeman had
no orders from the conductor that they
were to stop at Nelson and therefore
did not apply the brakes. The coroner
and jury will hold an inquest to-day.
ANOTHER FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
New YORK. Dec. 19.-The five-stOry
brick building at the corner of Flush
ing avenue and Ricerson street, Brook
lyn, owned and occupied by c. A. Jur-
gems, wholesale grocer, was totally de-
stroyed by fire early this morning, with
several of the adjoining buildings
on either side The loss will
probably foot up nearly $780,
900. The Jurgens building was
heavily stocked with flour and holiday
goods. The fire spread to the buildings
on either side of the big store and
special alarm brought more engines
1t was feared that the entire block
would 90, as the high wind was carry
ing large brands for half block. The
high building at pa Flushing avenue,
owned and occupied as a saloon and
dwelling by Henry Beeimer, and the
building next to it, owned and Occu-
pied by George C. Tietgen. also liquor
dealer, were both almost totally de
stroyed. The firemen worked against
great odds, owing to the high wind and
intense heat.
Mr.. Jurgens says the loss will be
about s15O,OOO on the building and $780,
coo on the stock, fully covered by insur-
ance. 1t is believed by the police that
the fire was incendiary and Thomas
McCann, who was found in the build
ing shortly after the fire started, has
been arrested on suspicion.
