no QUARTER.
Communicated


The Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson'S
speech to his constituents in &C.
cepting another nomination for
Congress in the Second West
Virginia District will not furnish
inspiring material for those
Democrats who had intended to
enter the campaign under the
assumption that the Tariff is now
a settled question. and that a
revival of business now depends
solely upon an adjustment to new
conditions. This assumption
affords small consolation to the
workingmen who realize that an
adjustment to new conditions
mes ms nothing more nor less than
a reduction of wages, and, with
Mr.. Wilson's speech before them,
they would know that even that
small hope is denied them for
Mr.. Wilson declares there are to
be no new conditions until abso.
Lutte free trade is reached. This
means that so far as Democratic
action is concerned there is to be
no fear for the protected indus
tries of the United States, that
the manufacturers must remain
as they have for the past two
years, under constant apprehen-
sion. and that working men must
depend for a Lying upon produc-
ton, which at best can be only
capricious and which can in no
sense represent the full measure
of American industry, for under
the conditions which Mr.. Cleve.
land and Mr.. Wilson have impos.
ed upon the commerce of the
country since August 1893, and
which Mr.. Wilson declares are
to be continued, there can be no
revival Of business, no resumption
of production. Senator Vest was
right when he declared war Of
determination was to be waged
against the protected industries
of the country. There is to be
no quarter from Democracy
Shall Democracy receive any
Not any -

1t is now clearly understood
that the Populists think they
will make large gains in West
Virginia. They are no longer
seeking to form combinations
with either of the old parties but
hope, by nominating men who
are straightout Populists, to
largely draw from both parties.
The following is the resolution
they have adopted at all their
gatherings in this State
RESOLVED, That at is the sense of

West rirglnia's War Governor is
HonOred.

FA1RMoNT, w. VA, Sept, l.
The reception rendered last night
to Fairmont's lllustrlous citizen,
ex Gov. F. 81. Pierpont. by the
members of the Methodist Prot
estant church and his numerous
friends was one of the most pleas
ant occasins and one long TO be
remembered. The reception
proper was fixed from s to 8 as
other arrangements would not
admit of longer time. The church
was handsomely decorated and
the music under the direction of
DR.. Jas. E. Dowden and Miss
Cappie Layman added greatly to
the occasion. At the close of the
reception proper the children of
the Sabbath School, under the
charge of Misses Nellie Layman
and Daisy Huntington marched
up the aisle singing and sur.
rounded the governor and pre-
sented him with a number of
wreaths and bouquets. His love
for children is well known and
his connection with this Sab
bath school for SO many years
made this act a most touching
one.
Prof. Thomas G. Miller, who
has been most intimately con.
nected with the governor and
the church, spoke feelingly of
the memories which the occa.
sion they were celebrating
awakened, it being near the gov
ernor's eighty-first birthday and
over sixty years connection with
this church.
Through the efforts of Miss
Kate Ebert, secretary of the
committee, a great many letters
were presented to the governor
from his old friends, written in
kind remembrance. Among the
number was one from ex-senator
Waitman 7. Wiley, which was
most touching. These were from
friends separated by long dis
tances, and yesterday afternoon

ance be forgot, AMI congratula.
tions, dear governor" was re-
ceiyed from Judge Ephraim
B. Hall and his wife, of Santa
Barbara, California. The gov.
errors friends presented him a
handsome chair, which is to be
kept in the church for his es.
pecial use, and when he has
passed beyond the river to be
known as the Peirpont memorial
chair.
The refreshments prepared by
the ladies of the church were a
most pleasant feature Of the &C.
casion and there we're willing
hands to serve them. Governor
Pierpont was very much affected
and could hardly express his
high appreciation of the motives
which prompted such a display
of kindness and good will.
