If the Herald should fire all the

mighty lonesome.

hard to avert it, but just the same

THE Democrat who deserts his party
and its brilliant leader in this district
this wear may well hide his face in
shame forever. Let every Democrat
work as he never worked before.
THE Hon. Steve Elkins is makinga
vigorous campaign in this district, but
for every word he says for Dayton he
speaks dozen for his own pocketbook
and the monopoEsts he represents.
THE more strenuous the efforts Of
the monopolists and trusts to fasten
HIGH tariff and its heavy burdens upon
the people, the more certainly this
country will drift toward free trade
The Hon. Stephen B. Elkins Is not
only furnishing plenty of Doodle but
Is giving his personal efforts against
Mr.. Wilson. But neither Doodle or
Drawn will defeat the great tariff re-
former this year,
IF YOU want TO vote to increase the
profits Of Henry G. Davis and Stephen
B. Elkins, whose candidate he is, sup
port Mr.. Dayton. If you want to do
away with the policy that confers spe-
cial privileges upon a few undeserving
persons, vote for Mr. Wilson.

SENATOR MCPHERSON Of New Jer-
sey has written letter stating that
he will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. He has been in the Senate for
eighteen years and has been a faith
ful champion of the sugar trust and
other monopolies. He has evidently
made his pile.
We understand that Mr.. Henshaw,
the Republican candidate for State
Senate from this district, is posing as
an independent candidate, hoping to
get Democratic votes thereby. Mr.
Bnce W. Catlett is the Democratic
candidate, and he should receive the
support Of the Democratic voters.
THE people, without regard to party,
are continually crying out for honest
and capable men in high places. We
contend that the people irrespective
Of party ought to support a man like
William L. Wilson, whose integrity
and honesty and ability place him upon
such high plane. He IS the sort of
representative that all the people
ought to be proud to support.

PIEDMONT, OcT. S.-The coal com
panies in the Fairmont region have
reduced the price of mining to 50 cents
per ton. The Republicans are trying
TO make political capital of this cut
in wages. The drivers at Monongah |
struck against the reduction Scarcity |
Of cars has greatly retarded the output |
Of coal for some days past.
THE above despatch appeared in the
Baltimore SIN of Tuesday. We con-
fess that itpuzzles us. Only last week
we referred to the booming times in
the Fairmont region, and told how the |
operators We're selling all the coal they |
could ship and the miners were con-
tented and making good wages. The
mines in that section are controlled by |
Democrats like Ex-Governor Fleming,
the Messrs. Watson, Ohley, Owen Nc
Kinney and others, and Senator Cam
den has large interests. What has
caused this sudden reduction of wages
right in the midst of the canvass? |
Could not these operators foresee the
use that the Republicans would make
Of such an occurrence?
We are convinced from what we
know Of the gentlemen named that !
they would not willingly do anything
to harm the Democratic party or injure |
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, but this reduc-
ton of the miners wages at this time |
looks ill-advised, to say the least. We
repeat that we cannot believe there is
any Interior motive in this matter.
Nevertheless, if the Democrats of the
Eastern Panhandle once get the no.
ton that their Fairmont brethren have
not toted fair with Mr.. Wilson no man
from that section need ever come be-
fore the people of this district for their
support. There are some able and
