PARKEgSBURG, w. VA, November
4.-From the present outlook Judge
Harvey will carry the Fourth district
for Congress by larger majority than
was ever given any former candidate.
Judge Harvey is a LAWYER OF great
ability, aud has proven himself 20 be
Vsr7 active campaiguer, making many
friends wherever be goes, aud, being
friend of the farmer, his success Is as
sured Al times throughout the dis
trict causes OF a local nature have
arisen, which have been somewhat dis
couraging TO party leaders, but With
the stamina OF pure JefersOnian Demo-
Gratis the leaders have overcome all
and harmony exists everywhere, aud
she whole party appears 70 be united
on its cand date and more determined
shan ever 70 win the fight.
A more thorough canvass OF any on
COuaty 10 the district was never made
than has been made 10 Wood county,
aud while the county Is reliably Repuo-
hcan, 20 Is conceded bY those who are
posted on all political issues land even
by some Repuoncaus) that Judge bar
vey's vote 20 che coming election will be
surprise 20 the Republicans. They
carried The county two years ago by PSF;
This year the Democrats are claiming
that Mnler's majority viii not exceed
$50, and probably not that. Judge
Harvey will more than poll the Demo
cratic vote, as Miller is not considered
his equal in intellect, and the bung OF
Miuers barrel was tight when he was
here during McKinley's blowout There
isa certain element in Wood county
that depends largely on the size Of the
barrel, aud that element is composed
chiefly of Republicans who were not
satisfied with the turn Of AFFAIRS.
The PoCulist vote 10 Wood county
two years ago was only 1T, and the
present candidate for Congress, $. Ii.
(Piersol, will hardly poll that vote this
year. Mr. PIersOl has bean a resident
pDnty for many years, aud Is q
Ow, generally speaking, but his
PIN not injure Judge Harvey.

this Is Judge Haryey's old home, we
barn from prominent Democrat of Put
nam, that the Judge will carry mis- home
eourty By handsome majority. Money
ia being offered ia that county, even,
that Judge Harvey will carry Putnam,
but no takers are visible. The POpu-
lists are claiming ROane county Tor
Piersol, but 10 conversation with a
prominent Democrat of ReeOy, he said,
the Populists were always quite
numerous haSore- election, but

From a prominent Democratic attorney
90 81. Marys we have Information Of
ENCOURAGEMENT He states that Pleas
ants will give Judge Harvey an in
creased majority. Not IN the his
tory OF the county has such
enthusiasm been manifested as was
witnessed at Judge Harvey'S meeting;
and the same news comes from all over
the district There is not Republican
10 be found that will risk one cent on
Miller being elected. There is plenty
OF Democratic money in Parkersburg
ready 10 be put up that Judge Harvey
will be the next Congressman from the
Fourth district, but our Republican
friends are not disposed 20 risk any cash
on Miller. 10 Writ county
Judge Harvey's majority will
be not less than 200; the Popuists have
gone 90 pieces in shat county, and as
their vote was largely Democratic Har-
vey's vote will increase. The vote OF
that county 10 SOP was Democrat /, lis;
Repub lean 921; Democratic majority
197. The Republicans cOncede Judge
Harvey 90, but according 70 the 1892
vote that is not enough. The Populist
vote 60 Writ was only Is.
The Democrats OF Wood county have
never made such a fight before such
eme1ent men as Judge McLure, Col L.
n. Farmer, b. Mason Amber and Chair
man q. w. Neal have been In every
magisterial district speaking daY and
night, and they all report that never In
their experience have they witnessed
such enthusiasm, aud such a determine
tiou on the part Of the people 20 stand
By the party aud carry on the good
work inaugurated by the great tariff re-
former, BILLY Wilson"
For some time local causes have been
40 work 20 provoke discord 10 that dis
trict, and have undoubtedly had this
effect Feeling has sc times run pretty
high, and factiOnal fights threatened to
seriously ieOpardize the success Of the \
party. But the nomination OF Judge
Harvey has removed all this, and vic
tory is now conceded him by his oDpO-
nents. lie is a man upon whom all the
factions can agree, and be enters the
fight in a Democratic district with a
united Democracy behind him. There |
IS no doubt 10 the minds of the Demo /
Gratis as TO the result. Every Demo /
crat. and every voter, who believes 10 |
the doctrine OF tariff reform, and has /
the welfare of the iab0ring man, the /
miner and the farmer at heart should /
vote for Judge Harvey.
Judge Harvey is one OF the most !
popular men among the masses that has |
ever been on the Democratic ticket. |
