THE West Virginia Democrats who
advocate the gold standard and oppose
Bryan and Sewall had a convention
at Wheeling last Saturday. Our
young and enthusiastic friend, Mr..
Benjamin Trapnell, of Charleston, form
erly of Shepherdstown and Charles

vention. Resolutions were adopted
declaring for the single gold standard,
non-interference with the Supreme
Court and endorsing President Cleve-

chosen to represent the faction in the

delegate at large for the second dis
trict, with Col John A Robinson, the

comfy son of Postmaster General Will
son, who is described as prominent
figure in the convention, was elected
as presidential elsctor
Among the persons reported as dele
gates to the convention we notice the
names of a number of men who have
in the past received high honors and
fat places from the very party whose
candidates they are now opposing so
emphatically Their ideas Of principle
may be all right, but they haven't
much sense of political decency,

he who connives at the defeat of the

MANY of the great corporations Of
the Countrywide railroad companies,

doze not only their employees, but
their customers and clients, into op-
position to the Democratic candidates
because of the free silver platform The
average American citizen cannot be
driven and we believe this attempt at
coercion will be stoutly resisted by the
people. These fabulously wealthy
corporations are fighting free silver

cause they fear that there will proba-

fortunes were stopped in this country

We haven't much respect for the
man who, having accepted hOnors and
smolument from a political party,
turns his back upon that party be-
cause its policy doesn't suit him and
publicly opposes its candidates. If his

him to remain quiet.

THE advocates of the gold standard
are not at all backward in claiming for
themselves all the honesty and patri-
otism. But when the nation has been
in danger Wall Street and the stock
exchanges and the luxurious offices Of
the great corporations have been the
last places to look for patriots. Then,
as now, their sole aim has been to in
crease their own fortunes at the ex-
pense of others. Then, as now, the

OREGON,


An Early Republican Estimate.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTLAND, Ore, November 3.-Despite
the claims Of the populists and democrats
there is TO doubt of the result in Oregon
The state is safely republican, the only
question being the size of McKinley's plu-
ralily. This will depend entirely upon wha,
Multnomah county will do. Outside of this
county the vote will be in Bryans favor
by from 1000 to 5000. The republicans
concede that the big Mckinley demon
stration Saturday night plainly indicated
how this county will go and the fair
weather prevailing has brcrght out a tre-
mendouS vote.
So far fully seven-eighths of the vote OF
Portland has been polled and those who
have kept any kind of tab say 1t is at
the very lowest estimate six to one for
Mckinley.
The Palmer-Buckner ticket will not re-
ceive nearly so large a vote as was an
ticipated. nearly all the sound money
democrats voting for Mckinley. The lat
est estimate Of the republican plurality in
Multonomah is 5000, giving the state 10
Mckinley by 5000. NJ. J. X.
Mckfnley's Majority i'm Portland.
PORTLAND, Ore, November 3.-Up to
noon there had been but few arrests for il
legal voting. Chairman Hirsch of the re-
publican committee says Mckinley will
carry this city by 5000 and state by 5000
to 10000. The fusion is conceding Nc
Kinley ?. 500 in this city, and claims Bry-
an majority in the state will wipe this out
and leave Rryan's majority 5000.
