resenting the trainmen. engineers, con-

would be treated fairly and their cases
considered on their merits
There was less talk of general strike

press sympathy with the strikers, but
say no proposition for a general strike
can be entertained until every effort at
compromise between the telegraph
operators and company shall have
failed.

4 sEDRAY,9 Pocahontas county, w. Va,
Oct. 16.-Never before in the history of
West Virginia politics has there been
such a speaking campaign made by the
Republicans in Pocahontas county as
has and as Is being made In this fight for
an honest dollar. Early In the cam
paisn Hon. C. B., Hart. of Wheeling,
made tour OF this county and was well
received by the people, both Republicans
and Democrats. The seed sown by Mr..
Hart was Of the best quality. Later
Hon. c. 3. Smith and Hon. C. P. Dorr
made a thorough school house cam
paign Of the county, and by the honest
and fair presentations of the issues kept
burning the spark kinalsd by Mr.. Hart.
The citizens of the county are intell-
gent and fully appreciated these Gull
tured gentlemen. Being situated so far
from the railroads and having but few
Republican speakers In the county In
the past, they felt that at last they had
been recognized and fairly treated by
the great Republican party. But again
they have hadSa treat;of eloquence and
sound business argument. which has
carried With Ii q whirlwind OF approval,
and 1t Is safe to say that when Hon. Alex
n. Campbell. of Wheeling. again comes
here all will welcome him. whether they
differ from him politically or not.
MIR. Campbell, makes six speeches in
this county and you can herald the glad
news that Pocabontas Is awake; that no

New York Post: Evidence has cropped
out within day or two that at the time

situation In connection with travelling

wanted was that OF press ngcnt, to write

play on the boards OF the company at
that time was. 'Puddnhead Wilson"
This play was performed at Omaha last
APRIL and Mr.. Bryan sawit and wrote n
notice OF It for the Omaha World. Mr..
Bryan, although lawyer by education
and q. journalist by choice, had made no
Roadway. in either profession and was
out OF d job SO II occurred TO him that
m opening OF this kind would be a dcsr-
able thing for him.. But II happened
that the manager, of the Herald Square
theatre, to which the "pudd'nhead Npil-
son" troupe belonged, had no vacancy.

Mr.. Bryan, IL the story can be considered
