Grand Democratic Rally at
Bakerton.
The Northern End of the County
-AbIaze With Enthusiasm Fire
Hundred People Present.

There was an outpouriDg of the
Democracy of Bakerton vicinity on
Tuesday night last. Notice had
been given that speakers would be
present and the occasion enlivened
with music by the Shepherdstown
band. Mr.. Harrison Hooff, who was
n member of Chew's Battery intro
duced Col. r. p. Chew who was the
first speaker and made some happy
illusions to their association during
the late war. The Colonel, who is a
favorite among the people of that
locality was enthusiastically received.
He excused himself from making a
long speech in the open air, but pro-
ceeded to arraign the Republican
party for their ubiquitous tariff leg
islation and by happy illustration
showed the absurdity of farmers and
laboring people voting the Republic
can ticket. In conclusion he de-
livered an eloquent and impressive
appeal to the voters TO be at the polls
on the 9th of November and cast
their votes for VIM. L. Wilson, the
champion of the rights and best in
terests of the masses. He then in
troduced Hon. w. B. CornwelI of
Hamps hire, whom he said was born
and raised on a farm and was in full
sympathy with the farmer and labor
ing man, and promised the audience
treat in the way of an instructive
and mosterly address. Mr.. Corn
well spoke an hour, holding the close
attention of the audience. He paid
a glowing tribute to VIM. l.. Wilson
and before he concluded had aroused
the enthusiasm of his hearers to a
white heat. His allusion to the pos
sibility of having Billy Wilson as
our leader in the next Presidential
contest was received with prolonged
cheers. He was followed by Hon.
A. S. cambridge, Ben. TrapnelI and
J. NJ. Mason, Jr., all of whom made
telling speeches.
A large delegation was present
from Shepherdstown. There were
also many persons from Harper's
Ferry and Charles Town, among the
latter Capt. j. G. Holmes, that skill
full and tireiess worker and organi-
ger. After the speaking chicken
soup was served free to all present.
Mr.. c. E. Lamar presided and to
his great energy address the success
of the meeting was chiefly due. II.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car. There is only
one way TO cure Deafness. and that is by con-
sdtntional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inRamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Dustachian Tube. When this tube gets
intiamed you have rumblnG sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Denfness is the result and unless the inflam-
nation can he taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases ont of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

DIG. DfccauIey of Laurel Branch,
Barbour county (Dayton's home
county,, has left the Republican
party, and publishes card in the
Barbour Democrat.in which he says (:
For the last 81 years I have been
Republican, but I have Joined the
Democratic party, and expect to do
all 1 can to defeat Dayton, who
promises,if elected, that he will help
repeal our tariff law and thus bring
on another panic. I expect to do
my part towards the election OF Hon.
W.. L. Wilson, who has rescued the
country from the miserable tariff
burdens imposed by the Republicans
for the last thirty years. All the
years 1 have been a Republican I
have become poorer and poorer,
while the trusts and monopoIies have
grown richer, thus I have been con-
WINGED that the Republicans are
wrong (for the laboriug man) and
the Democrats are right.
