The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-11-01

Some time ago the Register and Demo-
cratic papers elsewhere, including the
Pittsburgh Post, printed ridiculous
story purporting to be an interview
with an iron worker ut Etnaville, con-
corning tho Mckinley meeting, which
was held Mt BeIIaire, and giving alleged
reasons why it was not held at Etna-
vile.
No such person as was alleged to have
been interviewed ever existed. The
weakness OF the Democratic campaign
over the river could not be more plain
~ demonstrated than by the number oil
falsehoods published to bolster it up.
This particular falsehood is completely
and beautifully refuted by the follow
ing, none OF the signatures to which re-
present fictitious persons:
BRIDGEpoar, O., Oct. 81, 1898.
We, the undersigned employees OF the
.Elna-Standard Iron and Steel Company
and residents of IEtnaville, o., have
seen the statement purpOrting to have
been made by ono "Worthy Lewellyn
Evana," and published in the Pitts
burgh Post, wherein said Evans is made
10 say that Mckinley would not have
been allowed to make his set speech in
Etnaville, and that the mill men had
list Of topics mapped out Tor MN ana
he would have been compelled to DIS
cuss them or stop talking, etc, etc.
The only objection we have to TINS
supposed interview is, that 1t IS false IN
every single statement.
The Martins Ferry Democratic roor::
backmaker who invented this batch OF
silly, fragrant faIsehoods. plainly and
suuareIy lies in every line.
First-lhere is not and never was
such person owning property or NV,
ing in Etnaville, or who ever worked
in the Etna.Standard mill rs "Worthy
Lewellyn Evans;" and further, no such
interview ever took place in Ktnaville
or elsewhere with any iron worker,
and we hurl these senseless lies back on
the coward who made them rs ISLANDERS
on the people OF EtnaYille and every
man who works in IN iron mill, besides
being mean reflections upon the man
ayers OF the Etna-Standard mill, who
have always been among the very first
to sign the Amalgamation scale every
year. 80,
man would be so gladly welcomed in
Etnayille MS Mr.. Mckinley: and we
asked to have him here, and regret
that he was not sent to US; and we had
to 90 to Bellaire to hear this great adj
yocate, friend and champion OF the
ironworker.
We have not forgotten McKinley's
speech when he last talked to us here.
His words and his predictions come
back to us now, true as the prophesles
Of Holy Writ
With the mill on half time or idle, we
are reminded every day OF the Wise
mans warning.
We do not notice these false inter
views for any harm they may do, but
simply that they may be buried in the
same grave with the free traders, Larry
Neal and his running mate, W. a. lay
lor. who peddles another lie about the
mills being shut down till after election.
