In EXCELLENT SHAPE.
Senator G. J. Faulkner came down
from the upper Pan Handle counties
yesterday morning, where he delivered
two speeches-one at Wellsburg and
one at New Cumberland, Saturday
and spent the day quietly at the Hotel
Windsor, resting from the fatigues of
week Of hard work. Quite a large
number Of local Democrats called upon
the Senator during the afternoon aud
evening, and at midnight last night he
left for the, East.
In conversation with reporter,
Senator Faulkner said.
We had two splendid meetings in
Hancock and Brooke, large numbers Of
people attending both at Wellsburg
and New Cumberland. The Democra-
cy of Brooke are especially alert and
enthusiastic, and the Hancock Demo-
Gratis are also waking up. 1t was my
first visit to thempper Panhandle, and
the picturesque scenery along the riv-
er. ] notice great deal Of activity
up at New Cumberland, but could not
ascertain that wages had been raised
any, as they should have been, if Re
publican promises are worth anything.

4They are most promising The
Democracy is fully aroused every
where, and we have the best organiza-
tion since 1874. Clubs are springing
up right and left, and some of the
counties in are excellent shape. Ohio
county in particular, seems to be in
apple-pie order, sand will give the
State ticketa good majority, and elect
the. entire Democratic ticket. The
tide is coming our way strong all over
the State, and we will win great
victory this fall. | cannot discover,
any weak spots in cur lines. The Re
publicans are affecting to believe they
will carry the House of Delegates, but
they won't. We will have at least six
or eight majority, and at least ten in
the Senate. The State ticket will win
by handsome majority. The Re
publican ticket has no particular
strength, and events are against them
this year, at best. All the Democracy
needs to do is TO so forward upon the
lines already laid down, and we will
defeat the enemy at every turn

country at larger"
"They are as satisfactory as here in
West Virginia. | was in New York
last week, and all the reports are of
the most encouraging nature. In New
York City the Democratic leaders
promise majority of eighty thousand
for Cleveland and Stevenson. Tam
many is hard at work, and will make
big and brilliant record for the Ma
tional ticket. Senator Hill himself
will take the stump for Cleveland, and
the forces WILDE rallied for supreme
effort all along the line In the West
the p6spects are most encouraging and
the triumphant election of the Nation
