The New York Gold Bug Grows Abusive ct
Fairu olt-Resuits Satisfactory to Silver
Men
Special 20 the Register.
Fairmont, W. Va, October 9.-Gold
Democrats are so scarce n this secti)n
OF The State that when Henry Austin
Adams. OF New York, was billed for a
speech at the Opera House last night,
quite a large crowd was present. fhe
stage was occupied by four men, which
is ,he full streng of th3t party Eere.
They were: Joseph E. Sands, cashier Of
the Firs. National Bank; Ollie j. Sands,
bank examiner; Sam r. Hite. coal
operator. and VIII Tracy, clerk. 9th
ers occupying seats on the stage were
Hon. Randolph Stalnaker, Of Wheeling;
SprigS Camden. OF Parkars5UrT, and
some young ladies and their escorts
from Clarksburg.
Nr. Adams's speech was highly Gp-
plauded by the Republicans presen- and
was disgusting to Jhe Democrats. His
speech vas lot of abuse i9r the silver
forces, especially the farmers, who
were made the subject Of much sport
Bv actual count he used Jhe term ''an-
erchist" eleven times, 'repudia,icnis;s'
fifteen times. "wild-eyed farmers three
times fools four times. "knaves" five
times. "bankrupts' seven times, etc.
Whenever these epithets were applied
to the free silveri,es they were met
bv many loud burrahs from the Repub-
I;c9ns. Some idea of his remarks may
be Judged from the following extracts
from his speech:
knaves.'
"Tbe abomin7ble .mpudance Of the
free silver men is surprising
"They free silyerites) are perfectly
d2mnab'e fools"
IL we cant SOP this Gree silver move
memo by ballots. We VIII by bayonets."
Tho effect of his speech may be I'M
agined. All the farmers and free silver
men are disguised, al the thoughtful
cold men are worried. while the narrow
minded Republicans are delighted.

much worried young man these days
because Of a report printed in papers in
New York and other cities that the
private secretary Of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue had bet 500 that
West Virginia would give her electoral
vote to Mckinley in November. Mr..
Smith fears his friends IN West Virginia
may think that he is the individual who
has made this BET, while the fact is he
has done nothing of the kind. In the
first place. he does not believe that Nc
Kinley will come within 10000 votes of
having a majority in West Virginia
next month. In the second place, he
says he has not got the 800 TO bet, no
matter what he believes. While he has

ALL ARE DEMOCRATIC.

Not an Opposition Congressman VIII BE
Elected In Georgia-Fslling on in Popu-
list Votes.
Atlanta, Ca, October 9.-The returns
so far received from Wednesdays cleo
ton show that the total Populia, vote
will not exceed 5000. It was 95,SSS in
1894, showing a decrease of about 11,OOO.
This falling off is largely contributed to
the capture Of tha negro vote by Gov
ernor Atkinson. The official figures
coming in to-day do not materially
change the estimate OF the result as
made in the dispatches yesterday.
In few sections Of the State the Pop
ulist vote was increased In nearly ev-
cry case it was due to the personal pop
ularity of some POpulist nominee.
In large majority of the counties the
votes were consolidated without pro-
rest In Baldwin county the cOnsOlida-
tion was deferred and a correspondent
wires:
Several tally sheets nave mysterious
ly disappeared. The managers decided
TO wait until Saturday before declaring
the result Some claim there will have
TO be another election, others say not.
Whitfield has filed notice Of protest.
Great excitement prevails generally.
One of the features of the election IS
that every Congressional district in
Georgia is Democratic and will send
Democratic repress natives to the next
Congress The only district held in
doubt was the Tenth. Two years ago,
in the State election, that district gave
a small P0pulist majority. Wednesday.
Richmond, Hancock and Washington
gave majoritiss sufficient to offset the
Populist majorities into the right coun-
ties and show besides a clean Democrat
ic majority of 2215.
The Journals estimate Of the vote
by counties, corrected up TO date, places
AtkinsCns majority az 35.4O5.
