PHILIPPI, w. Va, May 2e.-Ths cam
paign was opened here to-day by both
political parties holding mass meetings
In the court house.
Early In the day il seemed that the
two committees were going 10 have
trouble, as each meeting was called for
p. N. and each refused 70 yield, but
before twelve o'clock, it was settled by
giving the Republicans the court house
from one o'clock till 9:3O, when they
were TO yield 70 the Democrats
Jake Kemple, OF Wheeling, addressed
+ the meeting for an hour At the con-
cIusion Of bis speech the chairman Of
the Republican Committee attempted 70
transact the business for which the
meeting had been called, bot failed 70
get a response from any OF the faithful.
Ksmple came to the rescue by suggest
ing taat they take a recess and give the
Democrats a chance, TO which no one
objected.
Hon. D. W. Gall, chairman Of the
Democratic Executive Committee, then
called the meeting 10 order. Chas.
Murphy was made chairman and !. f..
Roger and Aldine Polling secretaries. A
Committee on Resolutions was appoint
ed, OF which J. Hop Woods was chair
man. Pending the report Of the com
mittee, Ex-Governor Z. w. Wilson was
escorted TO the stand
AMID ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE.
The Governor congratulated the Demo-
cracy Of Barbour on its splendid show
ing, and at once launched into the tariff
2 question, defending the Chicago plat
form. under which the Democracy
,hiJved such a noble victory two years
ago, Ind vigorously denounced she Re-
publican Senators for delaying the pas
sage Of the Wilson bill, so essential TO
bring relief 70 the present depressed
state OF business throughout the cOun-
try. The coal, wool, lumber and pot
tery schedules OF the tariff bill were eX-
planned fully. His speech was able,
eloquent and convincing, aud the few
Republicans who stayed TO listen 90 him
admitted the fairness OF his argument,
and expressed a hope that the Senate
would az once pass the Wilson bill, as
they were all convinced that that was
the only hope for revival in business.
His appeal 10 the Democrats 20 stand
firm TO the cause OF reform
AND VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET
had good effect. Before closing, he
made the assertion that the campaign
thai he had begun to-day would ba car
ried into every county in the State aud
that be was ready TO meet any Republl-
can and discuss the issue jointly with
him a. any time.
At the conclusion OF his speech ].
Hop Woods, on behalf of the ladies'
made a very eloquent speech and pre-
septed Ex-Governor Wilson with hand
some bouquet.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported a strong resolution UrSing speedy
actisn on the Wilson bill and reaihrm-
ing faith in the Democracy.
The Democratic party in Barbour
county is we'll organized and united and
goes into the fight with a determination
