weeks work in Wetzel county, winding
Up the series with a great rally st
Friendly, Tyler county, yesterday az
ternoon.
The tour during the week through
Wetzel was a regular triumphant
march, and the county is stirred up as
/ II has not teen over political matters
for a long time past Mr.. Howard s
journey through the county covered
a distance Of about one hun
dred and forty miles, all of it
by carriage or wagon, and
all along the route he was accorded a
hearty welcome by the people, while
the meetings were all large, and some
of them were set down as the greatest
political gatherings ever known in the
county. Mr.. Howard's party made up
a string OF four vehicles all the time
and part of the time consisted OF five,
and included In the party were DR..
Yeater, candidate for State Senator;
Friend Parsons. candidate for County
Superintendent; Mr.. i. NJ. WEIGH, OF the
Democratic Congressional Committee;
Mr.. W. T. Sidell and Robert McCor-
mick, candidate for the House OF Dele
gates. Mr.. Mccormick met with bad
accident on Tuesday. his horse running
of and dumping him against a 6arbed
wire fence. cutting and scratching him
up In serious manner. His horse was
also badly injured.
On Monday afternoon Mr.. Howard
addressed large meeting al Red Mills,
and that night ne spoke at Siender's.
Both of these meetings were large and
the audiences we're very enthusiastic.
On Tuesday Mr.. be card and his party
went to Silver Hill, where Mr.. Howard
spoke that afternoon, and Wednesday
afternoon he spoke at Uniontown, and
that evening at Hundred. Thursday aft
ernoon he was at Smithfeld, and Thurs
day night at Archer's Fork. Friday
afternoon be spoke at Pine Grove. All
these meetings were good, and az sew
eral the crowds were very large. AT
the meetings during the early portion
OF the week many Marshall county
people were to be seen, while at the
later meetings there were present vot-
ers from Marion, and even from bod
bridge. At yesterdays meeting, at
Friendly, the crowd was the largest
ever seen there The ST. Mary's Band
was in attendance, and the speaker
of the day was escorted TO the hall
by large procession. Short addresses
were made by Hon. Robert Mccormick,
candidate for the House Of Delegates,
Edward Connoley, candidate for the
House of Delegates, and also by Col.
Robert Browse, candidate for House OF
Delegates in Peasants county. Mr.
Howard was then introduced and spoke
for about an hour and half,
making splendid impression upon
his audience, which crowded the hall TO
its utmost capacity.
1t is one OF the encouraging features
of Mr.. Towards campaign that scarce
" day passes that he is not assured by
Republicans that they will vote for him
on election day, while many other cases
OF the same kind are heard Of. 1t is
also noted that everywhere throughout
Wetzel and the adjoining counties the
| PopulIsts are announcing their
intention Of voting for Mr.. Howard
and Democratic candidates gener-
allv, for the reason that they
recognize the Democracy have already
accom- plished several things the Popu-
list party is pledged TO, and Is endeaV-
orlug TO accomplish others, while the
Republicans are entirely antagCnistiC
to all Populstic aims. This being so,
! Popullsts who have the success OF the
principles OF their party at heart, say
they cannot vote their ticket, for by so
doing they may make certain the cleo
ton OF Republican candidates. There
fore, they prefer TO vote the Democratic
! ticket.
Mr. Howard will devote the whole oil
the coming week to a further prosecu-
ton of work in the interior OF the dis
trict.
