Republican editors who have crit
icised the Democrats as ''croakers"
and calamity prophets will be
panied to see that their own leaders
have become so deeply alarmed that
they have taken up their tale of woe
and are making the air blue with
prophecies of ruin. Chairman Tom
Carter gives out to his Republican
organs an interview in which he
shows that he is wrestling with fear
and doubt; but he nevertheless hopes
that 1.-THE common sense of the peo-
pie will prevent turning the country
over to final ruin"
Chairman Carter's doleful forebod-
ings are fortified with awful political
weather predictions by Senator AL
drich and Secretary Charles Foster.
These two prophets of evil assure the
American people that if Cleveland is
elected the United States Senate and
House will also be Democratic, and
Foster says that "such result would
be an undisguised calamity to the
American people"
Another cup OF calamity croak-
ers!' The Republican outlook for
victory on Nov. 8th has made the
prophets unusually blue. They should
brace up. Their ruin does not mean
the country's ruin.

A Prominent Republican Bolter.

A few days ago Mr. c. G. Church
was selected as vice president for
republican mass meeting in Par
kersbdrg. He thereupon addressed
the following letter to one of the
Parkersburg papers: Il notice in
the Journal of last evening that my
name heads the revised list of
vice presidents for the Woodford
meeting. AS it is known among
those who take any interest in my
views on current political questions
that am free trade republican,
opposed to McKinleyism and shall
not vote for Mr.. Harrison. / am sur

such prominence to my name, | can
not consent even in CHS indirect
wov, to indorse measures and men
who do not reflect the principles

will you kindly insert this in
the Sentinel that, there may be no
further mistakes or misunderstood
ing of my position?"
Mr.. Church is republican of
long standing. When the war broke
out he was editing paper in Nash
vile. He left there and went to New
York, whence he came to Parkers-
burg during an oil excitement years
ago. He started and sustained a
republican paper and virtually gave
it to the party, and has always been
one of the most liberal contributors
to campaign funds at this end of
the State. Recently he went to En-
gland, and upon his return made no
secret of the fact that his observa-
tions there had entirely changed his
views upon the tariff His CONVEX
sion is regarded as a matter ofgreat
significance and an index to the
situation. Many republicans are
outspoken in their intention 10 vote

hold whatever on the people here.

West Virginia is one of the States
that the Republicans always carry,
in their minds, before election, or, as
Representative Anderson puts it;
"'Chey are always going to carry
the State, but never do" Mr.. AL.
derson says: "The Republicans
will not carry West Virginia this
year. Down here we are all Demo
Gratis on the tariff question, but the
force bill issue is the one we are most
interested in. There are q hundred
Mckinley bills in that scheme and
it involves the rights of our people
to govern themselves, and it is &C
ing to carry the State against the
party that fathers it,"

Hon. Benz. Butterworth, of Ohio
the Great Republican High Tariff
Joint Debater, said in 1890: 1.-THE
manufacturers and the trusts get
protection and the profits of the
tariff, the farmer gets the husks and
the humbug." What was true in
1890 is still true in 1892.

ANOTHER GOOD MEETING
or the Democracy at Academy Hall FRI
Day Evening-Hon. w. A. An
derson, Of Virginia, address
ses Large Audience.

Hon. William A. Anderson, Of
Lexington, Vs., delivered y splendid
address to the Democrats of Nor
gantown and vicinity at Academy
hall on last Friday evening.
There was hut short notice that
the meeting was to be held, but the
people turned out in large nambers,
filing the hall to overlooking and
standing room was at premium.
The Democrats can hold good meet
ings here on short notice.
Clarence B. Ollie introduced the
speaker in few brief but eloquent
remarks, Col Anderson beginning
at o'clock, and for over two hours
the audience was held spell bound
by bis eloquence- His speech was not
alone eloquent; it was forcible and
logical. His points were clearly and
forcibly presented and he carried
conviction with him every time. He
showed that the tariff is tax; that
bears especially heavily upon the
farmer and the laboring man. and
that it is for the advantage of the
manufacturer alone. He showed
how the Mckinley bill was secured
by the politicians and capitalists,
and if-the election of Harrison was
brought about by the use of money
fried" from the manufacturers, Mr..
Blaine entering his protest against
the measure, which, he said, would
not open the market for bushel of
wheat or barrel of pork.
He forcibly illustrated the wool
question, and argued in favor of a
tariff which should raise the price
instead of lowering it and which
would, at the same time, give warm
clothing to the laboring people Of
the country.
But the speaker was especially
eloquent when speaking of the force
bill. He showed up that infamous
measure in all its hideousness; that
it was measure aimed by conspira-
tors at the liberties of the people: a
measure that would place bayonet
behind each ballot, and enable the
manufacturer and capitalist, there
fore, to carry the elections with gov
eminent money, and save the neces
sity of further contributions for cam
paign purposes by the boodlers. To
this measure. which Senator Teller
characterizes as infamous, President
Harrison gives his countenance and
the influence of his administration,
and would, if elected, favor like
measure in the future He thought
Mr.. Blaine might be trusted on
this subject. as he had a record
against such measures.
1t would be impossible to do JUS
tice to this eloquent and convincing
argument in favor Of tariff reform
and purity in politics by any synop-
sis which we could here give. The
speaker was inspired by lofty patri-
otism and dignifed earnestness
which captiyate6 his hearers, and he
was most heartily applauded at fire.
quent intervals. The meeting was
a grand success and the Democracy
was happy. Col. Anderson is a self
sacrificing, patriotic gentleman, and
is making this canvass on his own
hook and at his own expense. He
is not an Office seeker, and his only
reward is consciousness Of de z
good for righteous cause.

In days gone by Benjamin Harri-

The Season of Sweetness to our Col
ored Fellow Citizens,

OTcu FELLOW C1t1ZcnS.
1t is an open secret that as rule,
except about election times, demo
Gratis are as kind to and as consider
ate of the rights of colored people as
republicans, and would go as far at
any time to employ and accommodate
them and their families as would re-
publicans, and would stand as firmly
and earnestly for their freedom and
full, perfect and equal rights before
the law as would the republicans.
But we confess that for season be-
fore the election, republicans are
sweeter to the colored voters
than are democrats, to get their
votes. But when the election is over
they relapse.into their former condi-
ton of frigidity towards their guam
dom friends. We appeal to every
colored man and woman to say if
this is not true, and has not ALWAYS
been true since their enfranchise-
ment! And we further ask them if
it is not time they should see that
this sweetness is only from the lips,
like the kiss of Judas, the kiss of
betrayal2 Esau sold his birthright
for a mess of potage, but will col
ored men sell theirs for kiss of
