THE PLATFORM.

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, August
3.-Following is the platform
adopted by the Republican State
Convention to-day:
The Republicans of West Vir-
ginia in State convention assem-
bled endorse without reserve the
nomination of Harrison and Reid
to be the Republican standard
bearers in this campaign, and
we intend to give them the cleo
toral votes of West Virginia.
We endorse the honest declara-
ton of principles set forth in the
platform of the Republican ma
tional convention of 1892. We
find special cause for satisfaction
in the unequivocal stand taken
by the national Republican party
in favor of that policy of protec-
ton which is giving the United
States industrial independence
which had the endorsement of
the early statesmen of the Re
public, and which the Democrat
ic party, finding its authority in
the constitution of the late con-
federate states of America now
declares to be unconstitutional.
AS Americans we favor that ma
tional policy which in all COM
mercial affairs gives the prefer
ence to the toilers of our own
country, whether they earn their
living in the workshop or on the
farm.

THE RESULT.

The Republican party at the hands of
its opponents has met with sort of First
Bull Run defeat.
By the election of Cleveland the work
ingmen of this country have said that
they want a change!
What does the declaration stand for?
Let us see!
The Republican party stands for stable
government, the right of every man to
cast one ballot and to Lave it honestly
counted. To continue sound system of
finance, so that dollar shall be equal to
100 cents in gold the whole world over.
For progress, in that Americans shall
produce what they consume, keep our
money at home and pay good wages.
The mass of the people, evidently, do
not care for these things. Just wait un-
til 1896.
The Democracy by its record and ut
terances would reverse most of the above.
1t is pledged to repeal the Tariff by
which new industries have been fostered
for thirty-two years and return to days
before the war, although no one can say
aught against the present admiuistra.
ton or the volume of prosperity the
country now enjoys.
The Democracy is pledged to repeal
the tax on the issue of state currency.
bringing again into use the system of
finance, that proved SO unstable before
1860, by which bank bills would not pass
in states to say nothing of out of the
country, and to which condition the
present generation, both native and for
eign, are entire strangers.
The people have voted against the par
ty that has brought up the United States
from state of anarchy and disrepute un-
til it is now recognized as a firstclass
power, in favor of party that was dis
credited before the world thirty-two
years ago; when United States gold
bonds were drug on the market at so
cents on the dollar, when last they were
in full power. To-day and for twenty

have been at premium in every civil
lied country on the globe.
The domination of the Northern Dem
ocracy by the South, made solid by in
timidation; the recent corrupt bargain
with Tammany Hall; the foreign ele-
ments, at home and abroad; European
money sent over here to buy Cleveland's
election, all these and the restless ele-
ments of our partially affiliated citizen
ship, have conspired to give over the
government into the hands of men who
are as widely different in views and prac-
tice as the antipodes, in comparison with
the principles of Republican government
by which we have grown rich and great.
What will be the outcomeP
We shall see.
The government is again to endure the

permanent; other men who are more or
less orators and with cold winter be-
fore them, claim to have been cured and
are now employed in extolling the merits
of the cure. All these people will or
have already been enlisted in the glorious
scheme whereby the institute hopes to
reap rich harvest of bright gold dollars
1t would be just as sensible to allow Sc
lectmen to send poor people suffering
from any chronic disease to travelling
specialist, who claims to cure all incura-
bic diseases. The legislature will not be
likely to favorable consider such a
scheme as the above if it should be
brought to its attention, especially con.
sidering the act that the Kelley Cure is
not recognized by the medical fra
ternity any more than is quack doctor.

THANKsGIVING.

WAsHINGToE, Nov. 4th.-The following procla-
nation was issued this afternoon:
The gifts Of God to our people during the past
year have been so abundant and so special that
the spirit of devout thanksgiving awaits not a
call. but only the appointment Of a day, when 1t
may have a common expression. He has stayed
the pestilence at our door; He has given us more
love for the free civic institutions in the creation
of which his directing providence was so conspic
uous; He has awakened deeper reverence for
law; he has wdened our philanthropy by a call
to succor the distress in other lands; He has
blessed our schools and is bringing forward pa
triotic and God fearing generation to execute His
great and benevolent designs for our country He
has given us great increase in material wealth
and wide diffusion Of contentment and comfort
in the homes of our people; He has given his
glace to the sorrowing.
Wherefore, l. Benjamin Harrison, President Of
the United States, do call upon all our people to
observe, as we have been wont Thursday, the
oath day of this month of November. as day of
thanksgiving to God for His mercies and of sup.
plication for His continued care and grace.
In testimony whereofI haye hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this fourth day
of November, 1892, and of the Independence Of
the United States, the 117th

ENGLAND HAPPY.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The returns of the
American elections were received here
this forenoon too late for the papers to
comment on the result. The Pail Mall
Gazette publishes brief note this after
noon saying that both the merchants and
the unemployed workingmen of Eng
land haye reason to rejoice at the Demo
cratic victory, as with the possibility of
the reopenihg of the American markets
to goods of Birmingham, Bradford and.
Manchester, capitalists will get chance
to procure some return on their money
invested and the workingmen will have
an opportunity to get decent price for
their labor without the necessity of
striking. -
The st. James Gazette says some
satisfaction is felt in England at Cleve-
lands going back to the White House.
The Blaine Harrison regime, it adds has
been far from agreeable to British inter
ests, and majority of the American
people believe that it has been equally
prejudicial to themselves.

NEWS AND NOTES,

The Italian elections have resulted
in a decided victory for the Government.
which means for King Humbert and the
Triple Alliance. The people have de-
clared i'll effect that they are satisfied
with Premier Giolitti's promises of
economy, and are in favor of his general
policy.
Senator Hills city of Elmira showed
its regard for Mr.. Cleveland by chang
ing its Democrttic plurality of 300 four
years ago into Republican plurality of
almost exactly the same dimensions this
year. That does not look like recon-
ciliation. ~~
Close on the heels of the voluntary
increase in wages in the Fall River mills
comes a similar announcement from the
Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Com
pany of North Adams, Mass, whose new
factory was lately dedicated by Major
Mckinley. That is the emphatic answer
of the manager, Mr.. Plunkett, to the
loud free trader, Thomas G.. Shearman,
who attempted to convince the employees
of the company Thursday night that they
were being ruined by protection.
Thanksgiving day, the Great Ameri-
can Festival of Home, has been desig-
mated for Thursday, November 24th, by
proclamation of President Harrison.
Prepare to Thanks Give, with fat tur-
kies. and all that the. day implies. The
American people certainly never had
greater cause for genuine Thanks Giving
to Him from whom all blessings flow
than in this good year of our Lord, 1892.

Ex-senator Edmunds said before cleo
tion that all the menaces of the Demo
cratic position paled before the one of
wildcat banking" The party is
pledged by its platform to allow State
banks to issue currency and so the issue
is upon us. This is the way it worked
with Mr.. VIM. H. Page of Norwich, Conn,
just before the tax was placed upon that
kind of money. He says: "In the sum-
mer of 1856 took a trip to Chicago to
sell some goods. had at the start from
the city of New York 5000 in New York
State bank bills. In some places, in
purchasing tickets at railroad stations,
the New York bills were refused, and
when l asked if they were not good, the
reply would be, Yes, but it is too far
away l was obliged to change my
money at Wheeling before going into
Ohio, and so throughout the trip and re-
turn. This was not the worst part of it,
for the money received in payment for
the goods sold was in bills from vari-
Gus States, and to get them exchanged
for Connecticut money, had to allow 80
to 80 per cent, and this exhausted all the
profits of the orders taken on the trip"

case he is untitled to conduct the
columns of paper protesting to be
fair or clean. The press, Immediate
" after the Omaha convention, con-
fused Major Field with another
prominent Virginian of the same
name, and the editor of the Tele-
graph should be too honest to make
charge of Mahonism with that fact
explained.
Mr.. Watson has intlmated no such
thing as charged by the Telegraph,
either plainly or by inference. When
it was proposed to expend 1924 of
the peoples money in printing a
pamphlet for campaign purposes Mr..
Watson said that the matter was, in
his opinion, not within the rule which
admits publication of matters pend
ing before Congress at public ex-
pense. In this contention Mr.. Wat
son was logical, and simply stood by
his pledges to economy and strict OBJ
servance Of the law. The objection
was made under a rule of order, and
when ruled out he did not vote
against the proposition.
1t now seems certain that the ne
groes Of the South will vote for the
Peoples Party candidates. This
they have right to do, and this they
will do because Of the splendid plat
form and because they believe the
party intends honestly to carry out
its pledges. The tendency of the
colored voters to the Peoples Party
is one Of the hopeful signs Of the
times, and indicates clearly that the
cleavage in the South is across the
lines of both the old parties, and will
result in the defeat of both. Wher-
ever the issue of fusion has been pre-
scented to the Peoples Party it has
been voted down, and there is no
more probability of fusion in North
Carolina than in Kansas or Iowa.
The fight will be made and won on
principle.

The campaign in Virginia is de-
scribed as being on the move. Or
ganizatiOn is in progress in all parts
of the State, and the average Geor-
gian has but to reason from his sur
roundings to answer for himself what
means. The nomination of Cleve-
land, followed by the flank movement
under Tom Reed on silver, has lent
so much color of purpose to notorious
facts, that the people of Virginia, as
elsewhere, now realize fully that the
Republican and Democratic parties
are but wings of grand army of con-
quest, in the pay of Plutocracy. The
seeming conflict between those wings
Is but the rivalry of commands under
Identical orders.

doubt that II per cent. average de.

it is of course much greater than
that. Can not the ordinary business
