Will Call an Extra Session.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 23.-There
is little doubt that an extra session of
the Kentucky legislature will be called,
to meet after the November election,
and that the senatorial race will be
revived and successor to Blackburn
elected, who will be either a rcpubli-
can or John G. Carlisle. The point as
to whether the election could be made
in an extra session is not now disputed,
as it has been settled by Acting Gov
ernor Worthington's examination of
authorities on the snhjsas.

However, it is not foregone conclu-
sion that he will carry his own state,
Ohio, since the free silver sentiment
there is growing daily, and by Nov. Sd
may have gained such magnitude as to
win the state for Bryan. Allowing,
however, that Mckinley will carry
Ohio, the vote of the doubtful states is
greater than the vote which McKfsley
can feel assured of getting.
The states which all of McKinley's
supporters, except perhaps General
Grosvenor and the Oregonian, concede
to be doubtful, have total vote of 137
and are az follows

WHY THIS CHANGE2

That there are records and history
is unfortunate for some men of promi-
nence, and Major Mckinley is one of
those who is just now victim of this
Invention of civilization, the retaining
of expressions made by men of re-
nown. No doubt no regrets his ex-
pressions in 1892 cannot be obliterated,
but they are matters of record, and it
is we'll that they are. Let US compare
what he said in 1892 with the express
sions in his letter of acceptance of the
nomination for the presidency on
gold standard platform in 1896.

Extracts from his
letter of acceptance:
Until international
agreement is had. it is
the plain, duty of the
United States to main
tain the gold standard.
It is the recognized
and sole standard Of
the great commercial
nations of the world,
with which we trade
more largely than any
other. Eighty 70 ur
per cent of our foreign
trade for the fiscal
year of 1895 was with
gold standar d coun-
tries, and our trade
with other countries
is settled on q gold
basis.

party has done all that
could be done for its

honor, by the United

those who think it has

speech before the Re-
publican League of
Ohio, critizising Presi-
dent Cleveland:
During all of his
years at the head Of
the Cover nment he
was dishOnoring one OF
our great products,
discrediting silver and
enhancing the price of
gold. He endeavored
even before his inaug-
uration to office to stop
the coinage of silver
dollars and afterward
and to the end of his
administration perSis-
tently used his power
to that end. He was
determined to contract
the circulating III edi-
um. and de monetize

merce. limit the vol
ume of money among
the people, make the
money arce and

would have increased

ton, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton is one of the commonest things in the
world. 1t is really one of the most seri-
Gus things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow of
water, and gradually mass of poison
Gus, putrefying matter will accumulate
That is exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, flatl-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tions of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is a gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good" although

Base Ball League

The scheme of forming an interstate
league, such as was proposed by the
Review, a short time ago, has met with
general approval, and with a little
push and hustle on the part of the 9th.
er cities mentioned good league
could be formed. There is no doubt
but that six paying cities on an easy
circuit could be secured. To start the
ball rolling minor league team could
be formed in Wheeling, following this
take Sistersville, Marietta, Parkers-
burg, Huntington and Charleston
There are six cities all of which would
patronize good ball playing. There
are no hard nor expensive jumps in
this circuit, and at % cent rate the
six clubs could without the least doubt
be made pay. This is a good scheme
and will stand all the pushing that
can be given it. Sistersville Oil Re !

Will you kindly allow me space in
your columns to express my thanks to
the business men and citizens gener-
ally of Marietta who have suggested
and urged me to become a candidate
for Mayor of the city, and also to
those persons who have irrespective of
party taken pains to assure me of their
hearty assistance and support.
l haye entire confidence in the pres
ent and future of our :ity and believe
that all we need to assure our increased
prosperity is to have thorough business
men at the helm and not drop into
groove of the theoretical wisdom with
out business experience.
think that l recognize what we
need, but am sorry that neither my in
clination, business or possibly my abil-
ity will permit me to make the canvas
for the position named. With sincere
thanks to my friends of all parties,
sects and creeds for the honor they
would confer upon me, | remain,

"Reminiscences.
JAS. w. NYE.

Mr.. Jas. b. Matthews, who was EX-
press Agent under d. S. Mathews, was
a native of Putnam, Ohio He came to
Marietta early in life. / boarded in
the same house with him for number
of years-Mrs JAS. NJ. Booths. He and
myself made walking trip, some
where in the seventies, going to Cam
bridge, and thence through to Zanes-
vile and Columbus. Mr.. Matthews
showed me an orchard set out by him
self when he was young man, and
when | saw it the trees had grown
quite large. We took cars for home
from Columbus, making a nice trip of
ten days.
Vim. A. Whittlesey lived on Second
street, few doors north of the Court
House. His house was among the first
private dwellings IN that part of the
city. Mr.. Whittlesey was Mayor a
number of terms. His office was in
the lower part of the building facing
on Second street. He was considered
a fine lawyer, and had many clients.
His son, Beale, fine young man, was
killed at the attack of Mission Ridge.

with his refusal to buy and distribute
seeds after the last Congress appropri-
ated the money. A number OF gentle
men helped along the amusement but
the efforts OF Representative Cousins,
of Iowa, seemed to be most appreciated
by the House. He offered an amend
ment to the Agricultural appropriation
bill, providing that the salary OF the
Secretary Of Agriculture be reduced to
s25 year until he could comply with
the law for the free distribution OF
seeds. The amendment was, of course,
ruled out on point of order, but not
until Mr.. Cousins had had his say,
which was not altogether humorous.
For instance, he was serious enough
when he said Secretary Morton's course
was the grossest usurpation of modern
times, and. .'the Secretary pats the
House on the head, strokes the gray
beard of the Senate, scowls at the
President, and says there will not be
any seed distribution this year of our
Lord, not If he knows himself" and
again, that the most powerful branch
of the government was that represent
ed by the Secretary OF Agriculture,
who took Congress and the President
into his lap and supervised and ulti-
mately decided everything. Mr.. Cous-
ins closed by saying: This is no longer
a government of the people. 1t is
government by j. Pierrepont Morgan
and ]. Sterling Norton"
Representative Walter Evans, of KY,

and patriotic services and its exalted
appreciation of his fame" $500, 1000 is

one of the Republicans who voted

Oh no, j. Pierrepont Morgan has no
pull on this administration. That
was shown by the action of Secretary
Carlisle in presenting Mr.. Morgan with
about S3O0,0O0 of the peoples money,
by deciding that the bonds upon which
the original bidders defaulted in the
first payment-aboutS So, 000 000-should
go to Mr.. Morgan at his bid, notwith-
standing the offer of higher price by
Others for them. Secretary Carlisle
should have to answer before the bar
of the L. 5. Senate, sitting as court
of impeachment, for this extraordinary
and costly favor conferred upon Mr..
Morgan. Lest there should be any
misunderstanding as to this charge
here are the figures. These bonds are
sold to Mr.. Morgan at less than Ill
when they could haYe been sold in the
open market (see current quotations.
for LII, a difference of cents upon
every dollar of the bonds. This too,
in the face of the statement in the
original advertisement for bids, that
the government reserved the right to
reject any or all bids sent in. 1t is
perfectly clear that Mr.. Morgan had
absolutely no claim to have these bonds
rpon which higher bidders defaulted
awarded to him, and the inference is
that they are given him, because he
didn't get as many bonds as he and the
administration expected he would get
