whom the people of Wheeling have a
great interest in, irrespective of political
complexion. The warmth of feeling
manifested by the audience last night
was due to his great popularity and the
friendly feeling with which he is re-
garded by all who are acquainted with
him.
Noah Zane, who is seeking reelection
as Assessor in the country district, re-
ceived several rounds of cheers upon his
introduction. Mr.. Zane is an old war
horse in the Democratic ranks, and if
the voters vote as they cheered last
night, mis- election will be practically
unanimous. Mr.. Zane told his hearers
Mat this was the thirty-n.nth year in
which he had been permitted TO march
in a Democratic parade, and that he
would continue 10 march for thirty
nine years more.

cratic ticket for the State Legislature,
received unbounded enthusiasm and
were applauded with much emphasis
when they pledged themselves to go to
Charleston, if elected, and legislate for
the interests of the people, regardless OF
the poor or rich. The audience testified
Their approval in a marked way of the
pledges which the legislative candidates
made individually to the effect that If
they were sent 10 the next Legislature,
that they would oppose with all their
power 10 prevent the saddling upon the
State any portion OF the Virginia State
debt. that had received the sanction OF
the preceding Republican Legislature.
At the conclusion of the short adj
dresses by the different candidates,
the audience. which was fully as large
as al the beginning, began to clamor for
a political speech. 1ncessant calls were
made for Charles F. Arms,ead, the co..
5r5d orator. The demands were increas-

A WORKOUT FAD.
"Spring Medicines" blood purifiers" and
"ronics', an Old Fashioned Idea.

Pure blood, strong nerves and mus
cles. firm healthy flesh can only come
from wholesome food well digested.
Blood purifiers" and nerve tonics'
do not roach the cause Of the mischief.
The stomach is the point to be looked
after. The safest and surest way to
cure any form of indigestion is to take
after each meal some harmless prepare
ton which will of itself digest food.
There is an excellent preparation OF this
kind composed of vegetable essences,
pure pepsin. Golden Seal and fruit salts,
sold by druggists under name OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and these
tablets taken after meals assist diges-
tion wonderfully because they will dr.
eest the food promptly before it has
time to ferment and sour and the weak
stomach relieved and assisted in this
way SOON becomes strong and yigor-
Gus again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are SUI
per;or to any secret patent medicines,
because you know what you are taking
into your stomach. They are sold by
druggists everywhere at 90 cents per
package.

of the excursion for the uniformed men

distributed free TO the members Of the
clubs. and the railroad insisted upon its
money, the West Virginia section Of the
Mark Hanna s.ush fund must have been
depleted by the sum named for the
Wheeling delegation alone. In addition
TO this, MOundsville sent large dele
cation, and there were other crowds
from New Martinsville, Sis,ersville, and
other points between Wheeling aid

must have represented $4,000 which the

WORKINGMEN FOR BRYAN:

The reports that have been circulated
by Republicans that coerciye measures
are not used to induce workingmen TO
vote for Mckinley, is denied by a gen.
tleman who has returned from East
Liverpool and has been in ali the pot
teries of that place. He stated posi-
lively that the bosses were telling the
men in all the potteries that if McKin-
ley was elected, and if they would all
support him. that the 12l5 per cent. re-
AUCTION which was placed upon them
two years ago. would be removed and
that they would employ larger force
of men. None of The Democratic work
fngmen are deluded by this proposition
for the bitter history Of the past has
proved that il is only a scheme 10 get
their votes and then let them VII ste
for higher wages after election day.
Furthermore. there are scores Of men
wearing Mckinley badges VINO have de-
clared privately to friends that they
will vote for Bryan. Grand Master
Workman Sovereign delivered an ad-
dress recently to THE potters Of East
Liverpool which opened the working
mems eyes to the crisis which confronts
them. and at least one hundred
votes were changed by his argument for
Bryan.

Day-General Political News.
Last night about three thousand of
the voters Of Wheeling had the privilege
of seeing and hearing the candidates
whom the voters Of the county VIII, on
the third Of next month, elect to fill the
various executive Offices Of the greatest
and most populous county Of the State.
A reception TO the various candidates
on the Democratic county ticket had
been arranged to take place at Market
and Twenty-iourth streets.
The meeting was preceded by a DEM
onsration OF the Wheeling clubs. The
marchers formed in line at Eleventh
street and moved down Market over the
creek 10 Twentieth street. thence TO
Main, down Main TO TWenty-seyenth
street 10 Market, up Market TO the place
y
over a part Of the city which has no, yet
been jrayersed. On Main street il
seemed as if every house was decorated.
Red fire was burned al. along the route
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed
on the sidewalks and n the ranks. To
the observer the difference OF arCCr and
enthusiasm manifested on he streets on
occasions of Democratic and Republi-
ica1 Dsr9das must be very noticeable.
