expenditure Of hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars, in tho coke industry, whore

may behold the skies clouded by the
smoke from hundreds Of coke ovens
planted in those forests through tic

Tho people OF tho coal regions OF West
Virginia hail with Joy, those .clenching

We want those who will vote for laws

no mistake at Minneapolis. So far rs

no mistakes.
Tho Republicans in our Third con-

whatever when they placed their stand

The speech was often and loudly ap-

AN OBJECT LESSON.
Mr.. Caldwell was then introduced by
Mr.. Hall. He caused smile by unload
ing a box of iron rolled ready for tin
ming, and OF fine sheets Of American
tin plate. He also had huge dinner
bucket OF American tin. He remarked
that if it had not been Tor tho Mckin-
ley bill that bucket could not exist.
[Cheers.l
A -"That dinner bucket has
grown some in the past three years"
This is the product OF an American
mill with two years experience. 1t has
taken Wales about two hundred years
to learn 10 make as good an article.
Hc showed the tin first from the
rolls, then annealed, then cold rolled
ready for timing, and then the finished
tinpinte, and he explained that there
was but three per cent OF tin in tinplatc,
tho ninoty-sevea per cent being iron.
He had also in his bucket, sugar, bread
and a number OF other things put there
by a man who saw him pass with his
bucket. As to sugar, he said 1t was so
cheap that It scarcely paid to eat it any
moro. A man did not want all the Sill
gar he could get for dollar. lie gave
m object lesson which was very con-
vincing and which was much enjoyed.
A GENTLEMAN PROM PRESTON.
There were loud calls for Elliott, and
MIR. Edward s. Elliott, OF Preston coun-
ty, was introduced. He launched out
into an eloquent review Of the achieve
ments OF tho Republican party, which
was almost constantly interrupted by
hearty applause He paid Capt. Dovene.
an eloquent compliment rs learned
lawyer, courageous politician, man
OF good character and an eminent man
in every way-a man whose steel had
been keenly felt by tho enemy before,
and who, he predicted, would rout
them in the war he would WACO against
them this year.
He turned briefly to, tho tariff, de-
molishins the Democratic claim that
protective tariff is unconstitutional. He
also wont somewhat into detail as to
tho Republican policy OF protection,
which would tax luxuries, consumed
only by the rich, and put q protective
tariff on necessities which can be pro-
duced in this country, while admitting
free OF duty necessities OF tho masses
which cannot be produced, or not, at
least, in suficten. quantity, in this
country. The sugar brought i'll by Mr..
Caldwell was used as an illustration OF
this.
Mr.. Elliott said he was from county
which four years ago gave 900 majority
for tho Republican ticket, and he
thought it could raise this notch or
two this time, Applause. He pro-
dictcd Republican success this year in
West Virginia, and showed good reason
for this prediction, in the gradually re-
duCed majority for the Democrat ticket
for years, until in 1883 it was entirely
overcome and the people elected the
greatest OF Republican leaders in West
Virginia, General Nathan Gof. Gen
oral COTS name was greeted with up
roarous and prolonged applause. From
these figures tho speaker argued that 1t
was an unavoidable conclusion that tho
