,WHEELING DAILY REGISTER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER q 1884

| but the IIlteIJtge1lcer WOuId not nave ~
serted the fact that Mr.. Howard was q
Methodist, for instance, because the a.
p. A. movement-Which at the period
Immediately succeeding Mr.. Howard's
nomination, was esteemed to be line
thing politicallY-would not have been
interested In Mr.. Towards Methodism.
At the time Mr.. Towards typography"
was written, for the especial purpose
of calling attention TO Mr.. HoWard's re-
ligion, the IltelLtgencer followed what
it then belived TO be good party
policy: but Mr.. Hart last night To-
| formed his audience that no one ought
to withhold a vote from Mr.. Howard
because of religion. saying this because
the scenes have changed and A. Z. A.
methods no longer Ego"
Mr.. Hooten, OF Moundsville, fol-
lowed Mr.. Hart His re-
marks consisted mainly OF calamity
howl, aud he reveled in the hard times
of a year ago in manner which even
Mckinley or Elkins might have enVled.
Mr.. Hooten was succeeded by Mr..
Whitaker. Mr.. Hooteu, Ike Mr.. Hart,
had a good deal TO say about the REGIS
TER. and also, taking his cue from Mr..
Hart and the Intetltgencer, Mr.. Hooten
denied that he was member OF the A.
P. A.
MIR. Hooten vas succeeded by Mr..
Joe Brady, whose remarks were brlel,
but he found time, also, TO say some
thing about the REGISTER. Joe said no
wanted TO reply 10 the REGISTERS sug-
{t ha
ogized TO the employees OF the Whitaker
mill for what be said about them In
1890. Joseph said he couldn't find the
paper which quoted him in 1890, and
undertook TO repeat what he said from
recollection. But four years is d good
while, and Mr.. Brady's recollection Is
poor. and what he said be said Is essen
TALLY different from what he did say,
and which called forth such an indig-
nant response from the employees OF
the Whitaker mils on Novem-
Der 8. 1890, in the columns
of the REGISTER. Mr.. Brady
made some further references TO the
REGISTER, aud then introduced Mr..
Whitaker, who oStentatiously looked
all around the hall, under the table
and behind the chairs, and then said
Hes not here! Laughter. the
doughty Generals not here, and I'll go
on with my remarks! Laughter.
have been reading the Wheeling REG
lsrER occasionally lately-the only
truthful paper published-a paper
second only In its truthfslness TO the
holy word OF God itself. As said, |
have been reading the REGISTER lately,
and have there found out number OF
strange things that | did know before.
| found out that | had record, and |
also found out that there had been
meeting here last night, and
that the doughty General and the i'm
maculate Tom had been up in the First
ward. The two gentlemen whom | have
named have subjected me to TRADE Of
bilIingsgate aud abuse, and while | had
not desired 10 stir up those animals any
more, felt that 1 must go up to the
First ward aud let the people seq me,
and Just see what manner OF man l
am."
With this Characteristic introduction,
Mr.. Whitaker launched into calamity
howl, and after quoting statement, he
said:
81 got that from the REGISTER, be-
cause if got it anywhere else II light
be said il was untrue. But l got II
from the REGIsTER-that Immaculate
paper which | have been accused OF
giving cheap advertisement Of.
[ hope not. Nothing could have been
farther from my thoughts. That paper
has no sentiment in common with any
mai, woman or child IN the city Of
Wheeling-or II IL has 1t has never
given utterance to them, It has moth
ing in common with our progressive and
prosperous and lovely city"
Mr.. Whitaker talked good deal to
little purpose. bis audience stood II
for a while, and then began to drift out
by twos and threes. BY balf-past ten
there were only one hundred and fifty
eight people left in the hall, but the
candidate for Senate was not discour-
aged by little thing like that, and 1t
is probable that along about midnight
be button-holed the last man, got him
I'D against the wall, and told him how
it was" and abused the REGISTER and
the Democratic candidates until the un-
fortunate victim fell dead.
