 Tt Is common sense. hard working, hustling committee that will never let the grass grow under it's feet. The policy of the campaign was carefully considered by the members of the com mittee, and it was fully determined that in the fight mot any points of re- publican doctrine should be relinquish- ed for the sake of gaining votes. We are republicans, and we must stand to- gether for what republicans have al- ways believed-undoubted and untaint- ed money and decided protection for American labor"

RAIN CAUSES HEAVY D1M4GE. Bridges and Houses Swept Away in West
 Virginia.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 30-The heavy rain of this morning caused im- mense damage to property in this vicin- ity. Small creeks became raging tor rents and bridges were swept away The rain began at 2 o'clock and contin- ued until 6 o'clock this morning. Farm houses were flooded and crops irrepar- ably damaged. On the Ohio side the Wheeling and Lake Erie, the Cincin- natl and Pittsburg and the Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling roads were blocked by washouts near Martini s ferry, and it will be days before they can run trains.
 The Baltimore and Ohio suffered con- siderably. The worst trouble was on the Parkersburg branch and as a result all passenger trains are obliged to use the fourth division in order to get around to Cincinnati and St Louis. Eaton's tunnel caved in at both ends while passenger train was going through, but fortunately the mishap did not cost any lives.

He said that some of the most noted pnen
In America had been members Of HIS con-
gregation, and he mentioned some names
OF famous millionaires. The Englishman
remarked that Mr. Paxton seemed to have
great attraction for notorious thieves,
and the clergyman smilingly admitted
that some of those notable men were lit

man learned from some other Americans
that oil the statements Of the Rev. Mr..
