Weston, w. Va, September 12-E.
H. Fitch. of Huntington, spoke TO
smaln audience here this afternoon and
tonight. His speech was a complete
Juggling of facts and figures from be-
ginning 10 end II was so manifestly
unfair that even the most ardent Re-
publicans received 1t with sickly smiles.
The Democrats are holding big meet
ings and organizing silver clubs
throughout the county. The number
OF men who are leaving the Republican
ranks and declaring themselves for
BRYAN and free silver has caused con-
s.ernation in the Republican camp.
A Democrat who is in position 10
know gave me the Information to-
night that they have the names OF l59
Republicans who will support Bryan
and Sew3,l and great many OF them
the whole ticket.
DR.. VI. S. Holt, one OF the late con-
verts. Will, upon his return from the
PennsbOro Fair stump Lewis and Gil
mer counties for Bryan and Sewall and
free silver. He has invitations to speak
.frou nearly every county In the State
ana the Harrison county Democratic
committee urge and insist upon him
giving a; leas; one week OF ais time

Several novel bets have been made
here on the outcome in the different
States. one being a $40 suit Of clothes

one that has gone begging was 500
that Bryan will carry Ohio. J.

THE LEAGUES CANDIDATE

The Better City Government league
cannot be entirely congratulated upon
its achievements, for 1t has hardly ful-
filled the ambitious mission it mapped
out for ITSELF Nevertheless, it has made
a fair start, and in future campaigns
may be able to escape those influences
justly asserted threatened to overthrow
it's reason for existence.
The leagues nomination for the may
orally need not be taken very seriously.
Mr.. John F. Francis Is an excellent gen.
tleman of generous disposition and such
talents as insure general popularity, but
there are weighty reasons which should
have been recognized by yesterdays
convention as SO militant to Mr.. Francis
success at the polls that his nomination
seems mistake. In many respects Mr..
Francis would make capital mayor;
he would be lavish entertainer, pop
ular host to the city's guests. and al
together a representative chief digni-
tary for the city. But there are circum-
stances which would make his election
practically impossible. 1t may have been
such foreboding as caused him twice
to refuse the honor thrust upon him
yesterday. Were these circumstances,
to which The Herald will address itself
in due season, otherwise, there is yet an
other reason why Mr. Francis election
is impossible. 1t is understood that the
Times intends to bolt the Republican
nomination and lend the terror of its
support to Mr.. Francis. This alone
would defeat the most popular man in
the city.
The Herald is perfectly satisfied with
the Democratic nomination for the
mayoralty. Its reasons for supporting
Mr.. Snyder are sound. He has proved
