that the platform adopted at St Louis
| was fttuitlces and no matter how hard
| tho Democratic brethren try, they dan
dnd no flaw In 1t. 4
He spoke humorousiy OF the attempt
at this late day to show that terrible
crime had been committed In 1873. Th1
picture was prcttily drawn. which he
called the crime OF 1892, and was loudly
nppiauded. IN II he said the people
were promised mnny brilliant things
and were given only disaster and ruin.
What greater crime was imaginable
than the repeal OF the splendid Nc
Rinley act and substituting In Its place
tlh. Democratic measure which ut pres.
ent stands as the tariff law OF the coun-
try. What greater crime could be
committed than TO cause the shutting
up OF the mills and manufacturing cs-
Establishments, the starving OF families
and making times of such q nature that
1t was necessary TO form reliet commit
tees and the opening of soup houses.
Mr.. Dayton explained that there " Mt
present more money In circulation per
capita than ut any time In the coun-
try's history. and the existing stand
ard WAS good enough for him and he
was quite sure, good enough for the
people OF West Virginia. and OF the
whole United States.
"What the people want. Is to call
back the good old times when the party
OF Lincoln. Grant. Garfield and Harri-
son was In charge OF the government.
and next November we will elect that
grand leader. William Mckinley. and
j am sure that h. Will give the country
such an administration as Will make II
prosperous once more and place 1t
where 1t was when Grover Cleveland
took hold of It,.

a hollow scheme such US has always
been the doctrine Of the Democratic
party. They know full well that they
can not come before the people with
the free trade argument with the con-
dition of trade as 1t Is. destroyed and.
pdralyzed as a direct result of the tar.
if measure passed by q Democratic,
Congress"
Mr.. Dayton told of conversation he
overheard In Washington thetother day
In which q well known citizen from Vlr-
ginin said that free silver was sure to
win because they (the pemocrats) could
pull the wool over the eyes OF the
zone gallused fellows who would grab
onto the idea from tile start" II thank

where the iaboring classes and the
workingmen, even II they only wear
One "gallus." are too smart and too we'll

lions of the country to have the wool
pulled over their eyes, even by the DEM
ocratic party"
MIR. Dayton closed his speech amid
the cheers and applause OF the audi
ence who gave substantial evidence of
their appreciation of his presence with
generous ana enthusiastic detnonstra-
tons at intervals throughout his adj
dress.

From the wheeling pally lntolllEencer.

From the Wheeling Daily 1ntolligcncer,
June "a.
The Republicans OF Wheeling whoop-
ed Ter up in glorious style last night.
The ratification meeting at the Grand
Opera House was an occasion to be re-
membered. The house was filled TO its
capacity with a crowd OF Intelligent
voters. among whom were noticed many
OF the Democrats who have already
come out. without conceaiment for the
nominees OF the st. Louis convention,
who are conceded to represent the Amer
lean idea of protection and honest
money as WIDELY and completely as the
Democracy is going to represent free
trade and free coinage Of silver ut dis
astrous ratio.
The enthusiasm that marked the meet-
ing was feature. The mention of the
magic name of mckinley" by the sew
eral speakers was Invariably greeted
with the hearticst of enthusiasm by the
crowd. Sentiments for honest money
and tariff that will protect the work
ingmen Of free America from disastrous
competition with the underpaid paupcr
labor OF the continent across the sea,
received equally as much applause.
Mr. Bentley Jones. president of the
Ohio County Republican Club, made
some forclble and appropriate remarks
In Introducing Senator Whitaker rs
chairman of the meeting. His remarks
were devoid OF Sights of oratory. but his
pointed utterances were well received.
Senator Whitaker was the recipient OF a
fiattering reception md presented the
issues briefly but completely. sounding
the keynote OF the campaign.
Congressman Danford, of the st.
Clnirsville district, over the river. has
had twenty years experience on the
stump. but he nevermade u betterspeech
than that of last night, which dealt
mainly with the historical portion of the
money question. He showed UP the In
consistency of the Democratic position
on money matters in an able manner.
Congressman Dayton. OF the Second
West Virginia district, was the next
speaker. He went over the several is
sues of the campaign and paid his re-
spects tu the party of bankruptcy and
unsound money in vigorous language.
Mr.. Hart's presentation of the money
question wan listened to with interest
throughout ind evidently created deep
impression. The A. b. C.. of the eitua-
ton was drawn In clear cut sentences
that cleared the horizon that had cloud
ed and befoggcd many mind. 1t was
received with hearty applause.
OF course Mr. Atkinson's short speech
was received with favor. This is his
year. so to speak. Congressman Dow
encr was not lost In the shuttle. either,
his brief talk being puncuated with al
most continuous applause. Professor
Jones had the audience with him from
beginning to end.

JONES AND WHITAKER

Their Remarks Well Received.
It was Just $50 o'clock when, the
band having worked the crowd up to
plenty OF enthusiasm, President Bent
ly Jones. of the Ohio County Republic
can club. stepped to the front of the
stage and called the first Republican
meeting OF the campaign of 1896 in West
Virginia to order. His appearance was
the signal for hearty burst OF applause

He introduced the Ohio man as the
friend of every man. woman and child
IN the United States. In 1896 the Re-
publicans, with Mckinley MS their
standard bearer. will achieve victory
that Will break the record. The audi
ence also warmly applauded the speak

Although the hour was late, the audi.
.ence seemed never to tire OF the speeches
and as soon as Captain Dovener sat
down and the applause that showed the
appreciation Of his speech had died out
cries forsProf j. McHenry Jones were
heard all over the hall and that gentlc-
man was introduced. He was GREETED
also by Tremendous applause, and made
a rafting speech, as he always does
when called upon to raise his voice In
the interest of Republication and pro-
lection.
He told Of how he had received the
news OF Major McKtnley's nomination.
which he was pleased to call his election.
He said he had gone home satisfied that
the best ticket had been nominated and
had prepared for bed. when he heard a
band. He.'listened moment, then hur-

H.s Eloquent Speech.
The First districts popular repre-
sentative in Congress was the next
speaker, and as he was called to the
stage by Senator Whitaker, from q
chair In the orchestra circle, where he
had been an interested listener through
the evening. the audience wildly ap-
plauded.
70 He began by saying that he had heard
cheers long and loud during the even
ms, but would now propose three rous-
ing cheers for Major William Mckinley,
the next President OF the United States.
The audience stood and gave three
cheers that shook the building. The
captain then proceeded to make one OF
the greatest speeches Of his life, and 1t
was not prepared either. He had come
to hear. not to talk. but the audience
wouldn't have 1t that way
He said the money question and the
tariff question had been covered and
covered we'll by the men who had pre-
coded him. and he would not keep the
audience leng with the fow words he
would have to say at this time.
The campaign upon which we are
about to enter is different from those
of late years. It reminds me more OF
tho conditions that confronted the
American people in 1861 when Abraham
Lincoln had called upon the loyal cit
izens OF this country to protect the flag
The question then was not IL you are a
Republican, not if You are Democrat,
but are you a patriotic citizen and will
you save the nations credit and the ma
tons honor?
The conditions are the same to-day,
continued the captain. The Democratic
party has taken up the free silver ban
ner. under which they hope to win, not
wtthstanding the effect such u measure,
y adopted. would have upon this couu-
try. The Republican party has de-
ciarec IN no uncertain terms for protec-
ton and sound money. The question,
therefore, arises not are you u Demo-
crat! But are you n true American cit
zen, and will you cast your vote with q
party pledged to enact laws beneficial
to the country at large?
capt. Dovener then told of n conversa-
ton he had recently had with Senator
Palmer. OF Illinois. In which he asked
him what he would do IL the Democrats
would declare in favor of free silver.
The senator replied: well. Doyener.
I've thought about that for week or
two and have Just come to the conclu-
sion that would do as the Illinois far
mer told me he would do II the party
would jump into the silver craze. He
said that4n case they would he thought
he would Winter his vote"
This caught the crowd, and they roar
ed. Captain Dovener added that many
Democrat would winter his vote.

Who is to defeat McKinley?" asked,
the speaker. Can anyone here tell
me! Why. nobody knows what their
platform Is going TO be. Even the Ohio
county brethren couldn't tell, but in
