Notes Of the Campaign.


The most enthusiastic political meet
ing of the campaign was held in Shep-
herdstown last Monday evening. AS
preliminary to the public speaking,
the Democrats formed themselves into
torchlight procession, and, headed
by the Keedysville band, paraded the
principal streets of the town. The
older Democrats were in carriages,
the country men were on horseback,
and long line of footmen composed
the balance of the line. At the con-
clusion of the parade the crowd gath
cred in the town hall, filling the large
room to its utmost capacity. Many
ladies' were present, and the audience
was an intelligent and appreciative
one. The speakers were Hon. II. W.
Rowell, of Illinois, a former Repubh-
can, and Mr.. Douglass talented young
lawyer from South Carolina. We
have seldom heard as good political
speeches as these gentlemen made.
Eloquent, logical, convincing and en-
tertaining, those who were fortunate
enough to hear them enjoyed a rare
treat, and the audience was held SPELL
bound. Mr.. James NJ. Mason, the
popular young lawyer from Charles
town, closed the meeting with brief
address. The speakers were intro
duced by Mr.. B. F. Harrison and Hon.
A. S. cambridge, and each of them
received handsome bouquet.
Mr.. Charles Burdette Hart, the ed
itor of the Wheeling L1telhgencer,
delivered a political address in the
town hall here last Saturday night.
The colored band from Dufhelds had
been called in and a strong effort was
made to enthuse the colored voters.
There was a good deal of noise and
insolence, and the hurrah had the eff
feet of getting one side Of the hall
filled with colored men, women and
children, while the other side had scat
tered over it white Republicans, gold
advocates and silver Democrats Mr..
Harris speech was lame one-wheth-
er he was tired out or was not inspired
by his audience we cannot say. He
had none Of his usual vivacity, and
presented his arguments in a tired
sort Of way that made the audience
weary too. Mr.. Hart is bright man,
and perhaps he realized that he was
talking foolishness.
Col. Robert Alton, of Washington,
and Col. McIntire, of the same place,
addressed the Democrats Of Shepherds
town last Friday night. A large crowd
was present and the speeches We're

Ducks Riding on a Mill Wheel.

Il have an old-fashion mill on my
place, said D. K. Phillips, of Warren
county, Va, at the National. The
mill is run by means of a very large
wheel, turned by the water Of brook.
1t is of the style common century
ago. l raise ducks, that swim on the
brook just above nay mill dam A few
weeks ago I saw large drake flying
through the air on the wheel Of the
mill, and expected to see him dashed
to pieces when the wheel turned
around. But when the wheel turned
he adapted himself to its position, and
when it struck the water he went I'M
derneath, coming up and catching to
the next paddle. l stopped the wheel
and he swan away with joyful quacks,
as l supposed, at his escape. But the
next day the same duck was again rid
ing the wheel, evidently thoroughly
ENJOYING the sensation. | drove him
away, but the next day he returned,
and this time he was accompanied by
several others. As the wheel turned
it had a duck on every paddle, and
now men come for miles to see the
ducks ride on the wheel. - Washing

THE overwhelming majority re-
ceived by Mckinley on Tuesday proves
conclusively that the people of the
United States do not want free silver,
and that question must be considered
settled for at least four years. The
East is, if we are to Judge from the
vote, strongly opposed to the policy,
and the returns from the West indi-
cate that the sentiment for free coin
age in that section is not nearly as
great as has been reported. In the
South, too, we are compelled to be-
lieve that the people voted the Dem
ocratic ticket more because they can
not submit to negro domination than
because they want silver. This state
of affairs is doubtless surprise to a
great many persons and a severe shock
to the silver advocates. But facts are
facts, and it is just as well to look
them squarely in the face.

REASONABLE people must have the
satisfaction of knowing, it doesn't mat
ter how bitterly they are disappointed
at the result of the election, that the
country is not going to destruction.
No party has the power to do more
than bring temporary suffering upon
the people, and the stability of our in
situations will not be involved Al
though the Republican policy is en-
tirely different from the Democratic
belief, we are sure that one party Is
just as patriotic as the other. Both
desire the prosperity Of our country,
and no deliberately dishonest man
can attain sufficient influence in our
government to seriously harm the peo-
pie. The REGISTER believes that the
triumph of the Democratic party
would have been best for the agricul-
tural interests and the great masses
Of the people. The majority has de-
sired otherwise, however, and We are
for the government.

THE Republicans are already re-
pudiating the gold Democrats who so
ably assisted them, and say that the
Republican ticket could have been
easily elected without their help. It's
Just as we expected, and just the way
they ought to be treated But if the
Republicans whom they aided give
them the cold shoulder, how should
they be treated by the Democrats
whom they deserted and betrayed
We have no quarrel with any person,
of whatever party, who voted his SEN
timents, for that is his right. But we
are dead down on the Democrats who
deserted the party after it had piled
honors and emoluments upon them.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Cleveland yesterday Is
sued the following thanksgiving proc
lamation:
The people of the United States should
never be unmindful Of the gratitude they
owe the God of nations for His watchful
care which has shielded them from dire
disaster and pointed out to them The way
of peace and happiness; nor should they
ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away from
Gods teachings and to follow with sin
ful pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be ouickened, it is fitting that on a day
especially appointed, we should join to-
gether in approaching the throne OF
grace with praise and supplication.
Therefore. I. Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby des-
ignate and set apart Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day Of the present month
of November. to be kept and observed as a
davof thanksgiving and prayer through
ont our land

THOUGH it was an unsuccessful one,
the Democrats made a gallant strug-
gle in the campaign just ended, and all
through the uphill fight they had to
make they did all that was possible to
secure victory. But the odds were too
heavy against them. To start with,
they had arrayed against them the
whole banking interest not only of the
United States but of Europe, and this
immense influence was mercilessly ex-
erted to crush Mr.. Bryan. Then every
corporation, every trust, every syndi-
cate, every monopolist of high or low
degree, the millionaires, the specula-
tors and the capitalists made the fight
of their life for their life, and the mill
ions of money they gave, the influence
they exerted in the coercion of their
employees and in thousand other
ways, were simply an irresistible force
that no human power could prevail
against. Then the one-time Democratic
administration itself deserted the party
that put it in power, and the President
and every member Of his cabinet
brought the vast influence of the great
government machinery to bear against
the Democratic nominees. Arrayed
against these vast combinations was a
party that had been deserted by most
Of its leaders, penniless, maligned,
abused, with only patriotism and faith
fulness as weapons to fight against the
overpowering forces of the enemy-is
it any wonder that it suffered defeat :?
Let the gallant, courageous, manly
Bryan and those who held up his hands
be honored. And forget not those who,
forgetting the favors their party had
piled upon them, deserted in the hour
of need.
