GEN. WATTS AND W. r.. THOMPSON
Addressed Large.Neeting at Moundsville'
Yesterday.


Gen. C. c. Watts and Hon. w. r.
Thompson. of Huntington, addressed an
enthusiastic gathering or the Democracy
and free silver Republicans at the
Moundsville Court House yesterday after
noon at two o'clock. 1t was the first day
of Court, but Judge Campbell kindly adj
journed the afternoon session in order
that the speaking might take place in
doors.
The Court room was filled to its seat
ing capacity. among the audience being
many ladies and a num5er Of Republic
cans who came to hear a discussion Of the
peoples cause. The meeting was the
largest held in the town in five years.
Hon. J. NJ Ritz acted as chairman and
in q few well chosen words introduced
Hon. W. r. Thompson as the first speak
or. He spoke for three-quarters Of an
hour. reviewing the silver legislation OF
the country and showing beyond a doubt
that the great financial panics have been
brought about by the contraction Of the
peoples money. He eulogized Gen. watts
as the friend of the workingmen and an
swered some of the daily circulars that
are being distributed TO the effect that he
is opposed TO labor He reviewed the ac-
ton of Gen. Watts while in the Legisla-
ture. always standing as champion Tor
the working peoples cause, and when the
law was attacked followed 1t TO the SUI
prerne Court at his own expense, and hav-
ing the law declared constitutional by that
tribunal
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Thompson's
address. Gen. Watts was introduced 10
the audience. Although lately recovered
from a severe illness. he was in good con-
dition and held the audience in rapt at
tention with a mastery argument of an
hour and a half. He said that ne did not
intend TO make a political speech. but
simply TO talk to tina people upon the lead
ing issues of the day. Old party lines
had been cast asunder and the leaders of
the Democratic party heretofore had gone
over to the Republican party. while the
rank and hle of what had formerly been
consistent Republicans were 1ocking
around the standard bearer OF the Dem
ocratic hosts. He contrasted the financial
planks of the two platforms. and showed
that the Democratic platform was in har-
mony with the declarations of both par
ties for the past twenty years. The plank
in the Republican platform was dictated
by the barons Of Wall street, while the
Democratic platform was formulated in
the district meetings and school houses
all over the land long before the conven-
tion met.
AT the close Of his address he received
the congratulations not only of the Demo
Gratis. but Republicans as we'll some Of
whom have promised their support in the
coming election After the meeting both
gentlemen departed for Benwood to hold
another meeting. The heretofore invinci-
BILE majority in Marshall will be reduced
this time until it won't be recognized by
its most intimate friends. \ number place
il at from two TO three hundred majority,
while none place it over five hundred.

FOR NINE DAYS,
These Men We're Adrift in an Open
Boat Without Food or Water.--TOO
Weak to Know They Had Been
Rescued.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 13.-The
Evelyn, from Huelva, Spain, anchored
this evening, having on board the al
most l.fe!ess bodies Of nine Of the crew
o. the Norwegian bark Lovise, picked up
at sea after being adrift without food or
water for nine days.
When rescued they were so faint that
It was necessary to tie lines to them and
haul their trembling forms on board the
steamship. The particulars of the terri
bic suffering of the men are meagre, as
they are still too weak to 30 into de-
fails. Under treatment received since
on board the Evelyn the unfortunate
men are recovering, but their condition
is still precarious. When the Evelyn
hove in sight these poor fellows lay
helpless in the bottom of the boat They
were too weak TO realize that their rescue
had been effected.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Eighth Ward Bryan and Sewall
Silver Club IS called to meet at their
hall at Z o'clock sharp to attend the
Watts-Glhdy meeting. Captain Morn
ingstar desires every member to turn
out.
The ladies of the Eighth ward who
presented the Bryan and Sewali Silver
Club with the handsome banner on
Monday night, have completed a very
pretty silver flag, which is to be present
ed to the club at Twenty-seventh street
tonight
The Democratic clubs intending 60
ing to the meeting and pole raising at
Darlington, o., on Thursday, are re-
quested to assemble at Democratic head
quarters at 11:30 o'clock a. m. They
will leave over the Ohio River railroad
at - o'clock, and return at GAS o'clock.
A special rate Of SO cents for the round
trip has been secured for all others who
desire to participate.
Whether or not the fear is founded
upon good reasons there is no doubt Of
the fact that good many Democratic
employees of Wheeling manufactures
have real apprehension as to losing
their jobs if they take active part in the
campaign. This has been proven by
several Democrats who have stated to
the captains Of their ward Gu that they
we're afraid of losing their positions if
they turned out and marched in Demo-
cratic parades. This fear is based upon
the fact of having been called down by
their bosses for having been seen in the
street demonstration the night Bryan
spoke in Wheeling.
