AT Covington, KY, last Thursday,
Secretary Carlisle made a speech for
the Palmer and Buckner ticket which
was not kindly received, There was
bitter feeling against him because Of
his desertion of his party, and he was
greeted with boots and Kisses instead
of the cheers he once received. AS he
was in the midst of his speech couple
of ancient eggs were thrown at him
by some person, but neither hit him
After the meeting was over the crowd
surged around him so threateningly
that the police had to escort him to
his hotel. Of course all law-abiding
people must condemn the conduct of
the Kentucky partisans, and they can
not be justified for such treatment of
the Secretary of the Treasury. But
on the other hand Mr.. Carlisle ought
not to have Haunted himself in the
faces of the people as he did. He has
been honored by the party for many
years with the highest positions they
could give him, and it is peculiarly
exasperating to have him desert them
now and attempt to justify his own
desertion by implying that they them
selves are dishonest.

To the Voters Of the Second Congress
ional District.

You will be called upon within the
ensuing ten days to exercise the right OF
American citizenship in the election OF
every candidate known to our system OF
National, State and county government
with the single exception of a local
school office, and deem it proper to call
attention to the great Importance of the
issue as il affects the people of this Con
gresSional District. From the national
candidate to the smallest office on the
ticket, you have men who have estab-
lished their claims to your suffrage by
conspicuous ability and public service.
This is essentially true of your candi-
dates for national offices. There is and
can be no man who lays claim to a pa
triotic American citizenship who does
not feel a commendable pride in the
commanding ability, and the unswerv-
ing integrity of the silver candidate for
the presidential Office, and the same
may in modified form be said of the
splendid young citizen who stands with
him in the support of the same princi-
pies as the candidate of the Democratic
and Populist parties for Congress. 1t is
in advocacy of their claims to the sup
port of the electorate of this district
that | especially appeal. Against them
is arrayed every interest in this district,
every influence which corporate greed
can command and sordid selflshness can
marshal They stand for the interests
of the people against this combination.
That William J. Bryan will be the
next President of the United States
there is and can be but little question,
and |, as chairman of the Congressional
District, appeal to you to strengthen his
arm by the election of the Hon. VIM. 6.
Brown to the next Congress. Born upon
the soil Of West Virginia, a splendid
type of her educated, courageous and
honest citizenship, he especially COM
mends himself to the people of this dis
trict at this juncture in their public af-
fairs. He stands for a restoration of the
peoples money to the.people. For re-
duction of public burdens in every ave-
nue. of life, and for the interests OF the
masses as against the classes who are the
benefciaries of favored legislation.
There is to my personal knowledge a
concentrated effort which comes from
within and from without this district
to defeat this young champion of the
people. Large sums of money are being
placed in every county in the district
to purchase votes and hire doubtful
voters to remain away from the polls.
We ask that you not only go to the
polls, but see that your neighbor goes.
See that no man who is in sympathy
with our cause fails to deposit his ballot
on election day,
W. B. CoRNwELL,

THE entire Popuist State ticket in
West Virginia has withdrawn in favor
of the Democratic nominees, and the
committee urges every Populist to
support the candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket. National Chairman Ma
rion Butler writes letter in which he
says there was some irregularity in
certifying the POpulist presidential
electors, and for fear that the votes
may not be counted it is urged that
only the Democratic electors be voted

How to Vote Next Tuesday.

By reference to the ballot printed
on the fourth page Of the REGISTER
this week, it will be seen that the voter
will have a bulky sheet to handle.
The ballots will be 81 inches in length
and IA inches wide. All the tickets
five of them-are upon one sheet.
We publish below some information
concerning the method of voting.
The voter will enter the election
room or building, which will be divid-
ed into not less than two nor more
than FIVE booths or compartments, and
give his name and residence to one Of
the poll clerks, who will deliver to him
one ballot. The voter will then re-
tire alone at once into one of the booths
and prepare his ballot.
The voter will first decide which
ballot he will vote-the Republican
or Democratic, etc; and he will detace
all the ballots on the sheet, except the
one he desires to vote, by drawing a
line with pen and ink, from the top to
the bottom of all the ballots except the
one he desires to vote.
If the voter wishes to scratch the
ballot he has decided to vote, he will
erase the name of the candidate he
does not wish to vote for, and write
Immediately under it the name Of the
candidate he does wish to vote for.
But, remember, all the names you
wish to vote for must be on the one bal
lot ; they cannot be scattered among
all the ballots. That is, all the names
you wish to vote for must be printed
or written on one ballot, under one
heading.
Should a voter desire to vote the
Republican State and county ticket,
and at the same time to vote for Bryan
and Sewall, he has simply to erase the
names of the Republican electors and
to write the names of the Bryan and
Sewall electors in their places. The
names of the Presidential candidates
appear on the tickets simply for the
purpose of Identification. You do not
vote for them but for the electors who
represent them.
Now, having thus prepared his ballot
the voter will so fold it that the face
of it cannot be seen, and so that the
names of the poll clerks written on
the back of the ballot can be seen, and
will hand it to one of the commits
sioners of election.
If the voter cannot read or write,
or is physically unable to prepare his
ballot, he will so declare to the poll
clerks, who will, in the presence OF
each other, prepare the ballot just as
the voter wants it. The poll clerks
dare not tell how any voter voted. If
the voter wishes information how to
prepare his ballot, he should apply to
the poll clerks.
If the voter spoils a ballot he must
return it to the poll clerks and may get
another. He must not destroy 1t.
A voter cannot remain in a booth
longer than FIVE minutes While in the
election room the voter must talk to
no one but the poll clerks or commits
sioners of election.
If the voters name has not been
listed by the assessor, and he is chal-
lenged for that reason, he must make
the affidavit required in section 40 OF
the new election law The two per-
sons he is required to name in his
affidavit do not have to be present. If
a naturalized citizen, he must also show
his naturalization papers.

THE last reports from the chairm.n

THE last reports from the chalrmen
of the Democratic State committe e
have been received at national head
quarters in Chicago, and Chairman
Campau has issued statement based
upon them in which he says Bryan
will have 283 votes in the electoral
college. He says that Illinois, lows,
Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota are
absolutely safe for the Democrats, with
a good chance of carrying Ohio and
Wisconsin. The South is solid, and
Bryan will also carry all the far West
ern States. Mr.. Campau further says:
at has been long, hard campaign,
but the peoples cause has never ceased
in its steady march to victory. Sue
cess is in plain sight. The brag and
buster of the Republican national
committee in claiming $50 electoral
votes is shown in the including Of such
States as Texas, Idaho, Utah and
Montana, where the majority for Bry-
an can only be measured by consider
ing almost the whole voting population
for him.

VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET.

We earnestly beg every Democrat to
vote his ticket straight next Tuesday.
Let no personal consideration induce
You to scratch your ticket. 1t is the
Republican plan to get place for the
entering wedge by tempting you to
cut Democratic candidate this year,
and next election it will be easier to
make bigger break. The Democratic
ticket is worthy the support of every
voter, and every man upon it ought to
receive the full party strength. So
far as our county ticket is concerned,
it Is composed of capable, honorable
men, and no Democrat who went into
the primary election can fairly refuse
to support these candidates. For the
district delegates to the Legislature
Col. Mcdonald and Mr.. Evans should
get every vote, and the renegade Dem
cratic-Republican nominees, Romanus
Hunter and John Henshaw, should be
taught the lesson that kickers and de-
serters can expect no fayors from Dem
ocrats.
For State Senator Daniel Webster
Shaffer is a wide-awake, active, hard
working Democrat, who will have the
interests of all his constituents at
heart, and we will guarantee that he
will be alive to the wishes Of the peo-
pie. His opponent, Mr.. Getzendanner'
is about as energetic and uncompro-
missing a Republican as can be found
in the State, and certainly can expect
no vote from the party that he does his
level best to disintegrate and defeat.
No Democrat who thinks anything Of
his party can afford to support such
an ardent Republican as Mr.. Getzen-
danner, no matter what the personal
relations may be.
For circuit Judge there is no opposi-
ton to Judge E. Boyd Faulkner, whose
fitness for the place is so apparent that
no party has any desire to make a
change.
For Congress Hon. VIM. G. Brown
is entitled to and We believe will get
every Democratic vote, He is gen.
uine Democrat who is making splen-
did campaign for his party, and will
make a creditable representative IN
Congress. Mr.. Dayton, his opponent,
has not shown himself to be especially
talented for his present position, and
having proven failure after fair trial
the people will give Mr.. Brown the
next chance.
Our State ticket from General Watts
to Judge Holt is a good one, and no
man upon it ought to be scratched.
The State government will be safe in
their hands.
AS for Bryan and Sewall, We be-
lieve that upon their election depends
more than upon any question that has
been before the people during the past
twenty-five years. They are the regu-
lar nominees of the Democratic party
and represent the great agricultural
and laboring interests of the country.
Our people ought to give them hearty
support, for the election Of Mckinley
means the triumph of the trusts, the
syndicates and the great corporations
1T means the Capitalization Of power
in the hands of private individuals
who simply use the government as a
means of private gain, which results
in corresponding injury to the humber
classes.
Vote the ticket straight next Tues
day.
