prayer was made by Rev. Geo.
A. Doyle, of the Central Presby-
terrain church. The pastor, Rev.
E. 3. Williams, made a short but
interesting address in which he
brietlysummed up the main points
of the history OF the Clarksburg
Baptist church. AT the conclus.
ion of his address the stone was
set in place. Addresses were de.
livered by Rev. White of the new
Presbyterian church aud DR.. d

pal church. Rev. j. D. Simmons.

Political AphOrlsm.

The best thing to be said Of
CampbelIs candidacy in Ohio Is
that it was a bad investment for
Brice.
The Republican surplus that
disappeared from the Treasury
appears to have taken refuge in
the election returns.
a Republican ma jority 81 40.
600 in Kansas demonstrates very
plainly that Populism and big
corn crow donot 90 together
Kentucky and Maryland have
surpassed all other Southern
States in bidding fornorthern i'm.
migration and Investment:
The New Jersey Republicans
have elected a Governor for the
first time in thirty years; and
now they will see that no Demo.
crat gets the Office for the next
thirty years.
Concerning Democracy it IS
hard TO tell whether it is a case
OF disintegration or deeomposi.
tion.
Now thatthe assurance is made
eoubly sure, there is no reason
Why business should not receive

The result of the election in
Ohio reminds me of a converse
ton l had with that old Demo-
cratic war.horse, Col. Ben viii.
son, several weeks ago 'rhe
colonel admitted frankly that he
had little hope of Campbell-s
election. though he very much.
desired such an outcome. | called
his attention the factthat Camp.
bell was having phenomenal
meetings everywhere in the state
and seemed TO be not only
awakening great Democratic en-.
thusiasm all along the line, but
to be making a very aggressive
canvass, and inquired if these
Circumstance did not hold ont
hope to his Democratic heart.
Hardly he replied. THE con.
ditions in Ohio are not favorable
to Democratic success this year.
The enthusiasm and the great
Campbell meetings remind me
strangely of the famous yalland-
ingham campaign. That year
the Democracy seemed to set the
state on fire with enthusiasm.
Their meetings were everywhere
attended by tremendous crowds,
People came hundreds of miles
10 them, and notwithstanding
Vallandingham's absence in Can.
ada, the leaders were confident
of his election, pointing to the
remarkable meetings as. the
foundation of their faith. Well,
the election rolled around and
Vallandingham had scarcely a
greater number of votes than
there were in the convention that
nominated him, while Brough's
majority was over eighty thous.
and. Since then | have been
prepared for anything from Ohio,
and haven't taken much stock in
political hippodromes." The out
come last Tuesday justified the
colonel's view of the situation
and shows how close the truth
ne was in comparing the Camp.
