A Thrifty Scot

In one of the earlier decades of the cen tury n little hand of Fifeshire men were in the habit of travelling many miles reg ularly every sabbath to attend their fa- voritc sanctuary. While returning home one Sunday the foremost of the worthies discovered a horseshoe lying on the road In those days such an article was too val uable to be left, but to lift 1t on that day would have been Sabbath dissertation Hence our friend drew the shoe to the roadside with his stick and sat down be- side it, sending the children who accom- panied him home to their mother with the message that he would Dc home when the Sabbath had passed

a sample of the desperate means the

remark cooked him and he would now

CRYING "Stop Thief"

Mr.. w. c. Beans, a reporter OF the
Wheeling Register, writing to his pa
per from this Congressional district,
says:
LAS l went through the district |
have now and then ran squarely across
we'll defined rumor that Mr., Elkins
is much more active in looking out for
himself, during these latter days of the
campaign, than for Mr.. Dayton, and
that, recognizing that Mr.. Dayton is
doomed to certain defeat, he has sent
out word to his most trusty lieuten-
ANS in the close counties, to trade
DAYTON off for votes for the Republican
Legislative candidates at the last mo-
ment. There is no doubt but that Mr..
Elkins would much rather see Repub-
lican Legislature than to see the Leg
islature Democratic and Mr.. Wilson
defeated. for that solution of the CAM
paign would not advance Mr.. Elkins'
ambition in a Senatorial direction. If
Mr.. Eikins is playing this game in
the Second District-and it is very
like him to do it-he will, as matter
of coure, try the same thing all over
the State. As understand the Ohio
County Republican Legislative ticket
is pledged to Col w. P. Hubbard in
certain contingencies, Mr.. Elkins
scheme will hardly work up in the
Panhandle. -
1t is the same old cry we used to
hear about Gen. Gof. The Republi-
cans Of this district have implicit con-
fidence in the integrity of Mr.. Elkins.
Mr.. Dayton has no tiuer friend. Of
course Mr.. Elkins is doing all in his
power to secure the Legislature, and
we only hope he may succeed.
But is it not possible that some of
the Democracy are striving to work
this very game. We are quite sure
we could name some in this county
who are offering, in good faith, to
trade Mr.. Wilson for votes for local
candidates.

BROUGHT TO A STOP.
The Wilson Campaign Railroad
Train Abandoned.

Train Abandoned.
Especial to the Baltimore American.
GRAFTON, w. Va. October 25.-
The Wilson Cochran Cowen special,
entitled "Eloquence on Wheels, that
has been traversing this district and
State with desperate effort to further
the cause of William l.. Wilson and
free trade, came to a sudden, untime-
ly, inglorious end at this place tonight.
After the Clarksburg meeting this
evening the special train came to
Grafton, and from Grafton it was to
have been run up the G. * B. branch
of the B. & o. Railroad tomorrow
morning through Philippi and Being
ton, and on up the West Virginia
Central Railroad, around to Piedmont
and eastward through the district in
one grand, continuous line of travel.
This was the original program as
heralded abroad but it will never be
carried out This point is the final
destination of the cainpaigners. The
distinguished gentlemen who have
been the star attractions of the Flo
quence on Wheels will silently dis
perse, and go East to sadly tell the
news that Wilson and free trade are
hopelessly beaten in West Virginia.
At Philippi, Bellington, and points
along the West Virginia Central Rail-
road the special train had been wide
ly advertised. Orders had been is
sued governing its movements and all
arrangements made for its recep-
ton All that is now to be abandon
ed, and the intended invasion of the
gallant young Gordon Dayton's spe-
cial section of the country is turned
into hasty retreat. The campaign
party was received with SUCH small
crowds and such an utter lack Of en-
thusiasm yesterday that the balance
of the projected journey is given up,
and thus an occasion that was to have
crowned Mr.. Wilson with the laurel
wreath of popular favor is suddenly
terminated in a public object lesson
against him.
