tumult Of enthusiasm 10 subside, the
complimentary interruption lasting Tor
several minutes, IS scene sometimes
witnessed in a national convention,
rarely in an ordinary political meeting.
General Stewart L, Woodford, the
gifted orator and Wheeling favorite
from Brooklyn, had been holding his
audience under the spell Of his sound
logic and persuasive eloquence. Draw
ing near the conclusion OF his great
speech he appealed TO the men Of West
Virginia, by all their love of country
and OF home to break the solid south.
Cheers broke out all over the house.
Swelling up from the floor they caught
the stage and swept that into the
Whirlpool OF enthusiasm. Louder and
stronger they grew. Major Aleck Tur-
nero black face and massive form doomed
up in the crowd. Men jumped to their
feet all over the house. The platform
responded to the floor, and soon, the
house was mass OF waving hats.
There has never been anything like it
in the city OF Wheeling. General
Woodford said he had never seen such
q manifestation before in a political
meeting. 1t was a great tribute to the
orator and the catise he represented.
Mr.. A. W. CAMPBELL
followed, in ono OF his characteristic
speeches, dealing calmly and forcefully
with facts that have come under his OBJ
servation and contrasting conditions on
both sides OF the Atlantic. 1t was a
IL in fl,n n
try should have heard. 1t was listened
to with deep interest and brought ont
frequent applause. Not even the I'M
timely beating OF drums in the street
distracted the attention Of the 1900
people who had come to hear and be in
structed
The meeting was ono OF the most re-
markable, and to the Republican cause,
one of the most profitable ever held In
West Virginia. Many Democrats were
present, and by none was there a
stronger manifestation OF interest than
by them. Great as was theenthusiasm,
the close attention was even more graf
flying to the speakers and TO those who
are interested to note the effect OF the
strong arguments and appeals for the
cause Of protection to American labor.

At s:4O when County Chairman Hall
raped for order, the hall was simply
overlooking and the crowding around
the doors was something terrific. Mr..

sliosen words he introduced Gen.

GENERAL wooDFoRD's SPEECH.
General Woodford, after waiting
few moments for the applause to sub
side, said that he would speak tonight
tofree traders. Republicans might stand
by and help him.
Everything necessary to life can be
grown or made in this country. There
are more people in this country speak
ing one language, serving one allegiance
than in any country in the world. They
can do anything that is to be done bet
ter than any other people. They should
have one national American policy.
That they have not is no fault OF Re-
publicans.
1t is an expensive business to conduct
= government OF such size. a large
revenue must be collected. Democrats
and Republicans scarcely disagree as to
a dollar in the amount OF this revenue.
THE BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS.
To prove it: The Fifty-first Congress
appropriated sl,OOOOOO,oOO. The cry
went up OF "billion dollar Congress.
A Democratic house was elected. 1t
went to Washington pledged to reform.
tdid the best it could, and that was
S40O00,0O0 more for the first year than
: the preceding house. which must be
lust the proper amount, and the Repub-
licans appropriated just $40, 0O0, 900 too
little. all revenue is raised from two
sources-internal revenue and customs
and these two only. The simple ques.
ton between the parties is, upon what
articles shall tariff be imposed and
how? Republicans fight from no am
bush, they shrink behind no bush. We
tell you frankly what we propose to do.
We believe that whatever can be raised,
grown, made or produced in America
shall have the American market and
the preference in all things.
DEMOCRATS FOR FREE TRADE.
AS to the Democrats, tho Chicago
convention declared for free trade.
Henry George, who is stumping New
York, SAYS he supports Cleveland be-
cause he is for free trade. So does
Henry Watterson, so does the Georgia
