REPUBLICANM MEETING

Hon. Geo. w. Atkinson at the
Court House Last Night.
The Republican candidate for
Governor spoke at the Court House
last night, to agood sized audience.
His speech was demagogicalfrom
start to finish, with good deal of
the blatherskite about it. Mr.. At
kinson seems to have forgotten his
former pride and dignity,
His TRADE of abuse of President
Cleveland, the Democratic party
and the Peoples party has never
Abeen surpassed in our Court House,
and was as untrue as it was I'M
becoming, and was no credit to the
man who uttered it, and un-
worthy of man who desires to be
Governor of West Virginia.
If there is man who heard him,
believing in this American Repub-
lie, who is Tory enough to vote for
IMAM advocating single gold
standard at the dictation of Eng
land, he deserves to have, and will
sooner or later have collar, like a
dog wears around its neck.
His talk about n 50-cent dollar,
was babyish. One moment tell
ing his audience that the silver
mine owner would get rich by free
coinage of silver, and the next
moment paving the air over a
cheap dollar. AS the Pittsburg
Post says ga man who would talk
such rot to the people, will be
! despised by them"
His allusion to Democrats and
Republicans who advocated free
silver were disgroceful, but the
sentiment seemed to meet with the
approval of the gold bug leaders of
the Republican party, from the
way they applauded.

A Big Meeting at Cercdo.

Special to Register.
CEREDo, w. VA, Aug. 8, 1896.
One of the largest political meet
ings ever held here, was addressed
last night by Hon. Jas. b. Menag-
er. Everybody in Ceredo and
many from the surrounding coun-
try we're out.
Mr.. Manager was introduced
by Hon. w. j. Randall, life
long Republican, and President of
the Silver Club of this city. He
made splendid Introductory
speech. Silver Republicans abound
here, and Mr.. Menager's elo-
quent address was listened
to with rapt attention and
made profound impression.
This is the place whore Mr.. Mena-
ger made his great speech for DR..
Barbee in 1884, and he used the
same argument based on Blaine's
silver speech. This time the silver
cause is the cause of the people
and Wayne county will do her
duty i'll November.

VIII be Slaves.

The gold bug Democrats and
Republican straddlers seem will
ing to leave the silver question to
international agreement, that is,
if England consents. AS soon as
the present fever subsidies a little,
some disinterested statesman may
suggest as grand compromise,
to have free silver and protection
submitted to parliament of the
world-if mother England agrees.
Our progress and patriotism are
admirable, and will be as long as
England controls our financial
policy, and dictates to our law
makers. Give the people plenty
of money!" wrote an Enghshman
to the Congressional conspirators
in 1878, "and they will be your
masters; take the money from them
and they will be your slaves"
Let the people press forward.
They can emancipate themselves
without international interference.

his own debts.

We find the following in the

"Col. j. w. Davis, of Greenbrier
county, who has always stood high
in the counsels of the Republican
party, having at one time been its
nominee for Congress in this dis
trict, has come out openly for Bry-
and Sewall, and among the many
excellent reasons he gives for the
faith that is within him, says:
"Unless we throw off the shack
les of Wall street at this time, it
will never be done except by
blood"

THAT BOLT.
And tine Charges Made Against
Walter PendletOn.
UntruthfuIness and Yituperation the
Leading Features.

UnlruI0IulneSS anu Iuup6EhtAOn tHO
Leading Features.
The local Republican organ was
SO enraged last evening because of
the fact that great majority of
tho better class of Populists had
dared to refuse the repeatedly
offered brides of the Republican
boodlers to support middle-of-the-
road ticket, that the sheet lost it's
head entirely and INDUCED in un-
truthfulness and vituperation.
The charge that Walter Pendle-
ton had purchased the Congress
ional convention into supporting
him for Congress was lie out of
the whole cloth and the writer of
the Journal knew it. 1t was not
the Democratic party that beseiged
delegates at every turn and showed
into their faces money and prom
Uses if they would only support a
middle-of-the-road ticket. That is
what the Republican boodlers did.
Ever since Mr.. Pendleton arrived
i'll the city he has been bounded
by the Republican boodlers and
hirelings in order to see if they
could not catch him i'll a trap.
The writer of this article knows of
one case in particular where it cost
the boodlers $25 to know where
Mr.. PendIeton spent certain hour
of his time. These sleuth hounds
were so familiar with their bust
ness that they knew of nearly every
action of Mr.. Pendleton since he has
been in the city. And try as they
could, not one honest charge could
they bring against him. Mr.. Pen
dleton has good grounds for a suit
for libel against the Republican
organ.
The fact that five or six alleged
Populists, most of whom were OK
republicans-f for Doodle had left the
Congressional Convention and
while walking down Third street
had formed an alleged middle-of-
the-road ticket was reported by
their organ as being a bolt from
the party. These same men who
nominated Warren Hays were
openly accused by many of the
delegates with having received
money from the republican bood-
lers if they saw that middle-of-
road ticket was nominated. AS
these men could not bull-doze the
convention and accordingly could
not deliver the goods, they had to
arrange some way of making a
ticket in order to carry out their
bargain, Tho better class of Pop
ulists had experience with such
men two years ago and were glad
that they withdrew from the con-
vention yesterday.
The alleged middle-of-the- road
ticket, with G.. Warren Hays for
congress, is nothing moro nor less
than republican annex bought
and delivered. 1t was formed so
as to compel the republican bood-
lers to pay the price that had been
promised. 1t is branded as illegi-
innate by the Populists. They
simply laugh at it.-Parkersburg

A Fifty Cent Dollar.

If our standard silver dollar-now
SO much berated by the gold bug
editor of the State Gazette, is a
5O-cent dollar, will he explain how
it became SO? If it is 50-cent
dollar, it was made SO by John
Sherman and other Republicans.
The Republican party is respon-
sible for the debasement of the
silver standard dollar-the money
of the constitution and the money
of the people. If it is 50-cent
dollar how can it be a legal tender

1t is but natural that the gold
bugs should go mad in their effort
to defeat Bryan and Sewall, for
should they be elected, "the peo-
pie" will have voice in the affairs
of the government, circumstance
which the money masters deplore
as sincerely as did the former slave
owners deplore the liberation of
of the Southern slaves.

i. When murder has been com
mitted it is good policy in en-
deavoring to detect the murderer
to ascertain what person would
have had a motive for such deed.
If we can find class of persons
who would have been interested
pecuniarily in committing "the
crime of 1878" it may lead us to To-
cate the perpetrators. The object
of the act of 1873 was to render
money scarce, and, therefore, valu-
able. The persons who are inter
ested in scarce or dear money are
those who hold obligations calling
for stated number of dollars. lit
is immaterial whether you double
the number of dollars in debt or
cut the price of everything in two.
In either event you receive an un-
just increment in value. Now the
bondholders could not raise the
number of dollars for which their
bonds call That would have been
forgery, and would have rendered
them liable to the penitentiary.
They, therefore, adopted the sec
ond plan of rising the value OF each
dollar by making the dollars scarce
and thus decreasing general prices,
80 that the dollar would purchase
more. This scheme has been so
successful that dollar to-day in
this country purchases nearly twice
what it would in 1878.
9. A standard silver dollar docs
not contain an ounce of silver.
With free coinage of silver an
ounce of silver represents S1.29.
In 1878 the price of an ounce of
silver was S1.29. AT that time sill
yer in silver dollar was worth
more than gold in gold dollar.
3. Undoubtedly. Whom you les
sen the demand for anything you
decrease its value. Prior to 1873
the demand for silver was unlimit-
ed for coinage purposes. In 1893
we shut off tho demand altogether.
Suppose gold had been treated in
that manner. 1t would have de-
clined in value the same way that
silver has. The gold dollar would
then have been the dishonest
dollar. Enquirer.

You can not protect one man un-
