For Two days the people have been
NSathering, coming hi Oo horseback ana
inNwszons from the mountains and val
levs az all this section Of tue State, ana
fthis morning when the special and reg
MAR trains pulled into town the passen-
gers found The streets filed with people,
.the sidewalks lined with wagons, and
the open fields pn the outskirts OF the
.town so crowdedNWith tethered horses
that they looked az though a brigade OF
cavalry had bivouackec.
So large was the erowd that tue citl-
zeus OF Beverly stOoS about and martel-
led and said TO one another, This oeatS
anything ever saw, and ''Dld you
ever SOS anything liEe\tt2'< and tney
never did. There were
ENOUGH DEMOCRATIc VOTERS
in sight before dinner 70 have carried
Oft the town 10 the last brick aud the

- OF the Democracy OF this whole re'
has never before been eQuailed,

day.
AT Belington some news Of how the
REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO INTER
FERE
With Mr.. Wilson's meetings was learn
ed. Last night, at that place, while
Mr.. Wilson was speaking, Republicans
h0Oted aud yelled, and a concerted and
evidently carefully planned effort was
made TO break up the meeting. The
attempt failed, however. This morning
the big sawmllis at Davis, the Black
Water and Beaver Creek, which have
been idle for quite a while, owing 20
Gn alleged lack OF business, were start
ed up, TO keep the Democratic wOrkmen
from the meetings, and the report is they
will be kept running until Mr. Wilson
passes out OF this section. At Elkius
the Democratic wOrkmen employed on
the railroad buildings were keps at
work, although there is no rush on the
work. Other like Instances OF Republi-
eau Interference are reported aud the
