Sitter John on the Situation.

Now that the canvass is over and the
matter can be looked at coolly it really
seems wonderful that Stickney came within
two votes of winning the nomination. The
fight was against an old organized machine,
backed by the Central Vermont railroad
influence, plenty of Doodle, subsidized
press and as unscrupulous methods as were
ever practiced. 1t took them all to accom-
plish the result. Agents traversed the
entire state, some of them from Washing
ton and New Hampshire. Two of these
visited Londonderry. The aid of the dem
ocrats was actually invoked, notably at
Randolph, where prominent member ol
that party and connected with the above
mentioned railroad, manipulated the caucus
and succeeded in carrying it for Grout by
small majority In Brattleboro it was a
question of paying off Levi Fuller's debt
for services rendered by Grout. This was
boldly given as reason tor the support o
the ring candidate by the local Republican
paper. Gen. Estey, Fuller's brother-in-
law, a man of great influence, as any man
would have who had several hundred mer
in his employ, was untiring in his efforts
and was out early in the morning on the
day of the caucus fixing" things. Be-ide'
this, we are reliably informed, the Grout
tickets were printed unusually large and
with large heading type, easily distinguish
able from the Stickney ballots. 1t car
| readily be seen, under these circumstances
and with ''me too" Tom Harmon presiding
at the box, how easily it was to spot al
who refused to come under the yoke. These
and like methods were used everywhere i
any chance Of success was apparent.
And yet, with all these advantages
Stickncy had majority of the delegate
elected. To get a few of these away, t
steal them, that's the word; every artific'
that the combined powers could devise wa
used, including, as many believe, the us'
of money and the promising OF postoflces
Delegates, who, for any reason were sup
posed to be susceptible to outside in
fuences, were piled with the necessar.
argument, and when it was thought tha
one was under control he was watched S,
closely that he was really a prisoner. Del
egates Of this character were told to keel
on their Stickney badges and talk Stickne,,
SO as to throw the Stickney party off thei
guard. 1t was sight for the Gods, o
more properly speaking for the devils, t
see, while the ballot was in progress, tw

The Democratic Convention.

The national Democratic convention
meets in Chicago one week from to-day.
The absorbing issue is the financial ques-
ton, and it looks now decidedly like free
silver. If silver plank is put into the plat
form, of course silver candidate will have
to be selected. Boies of Iowa and Altgeld
OF Illinois are the candidates most talked
of now with the chances favoring Boies.
This is the way the states will vote or
the money question should the delegates ii
each instance follow their Instructions:

But for many years in the Democratic
conventions the two-thirds rule has pre-
vailed, that is no candidate can be nomi-
mated who does not receive the vote of
thirds of all the candidates. As there
will be $50 delegates at Chicago it will
take 620 votes to nominate, and because
of this rule the gold men may be able to
make trouble.
The unit rule is another favorite with
the Democrats that is, the way majority
of the delegates from any state vote. SO the
state goes. From Michigan there will be
Is silver delegates and Is gold delegates
under the unit rule, this will add Michi-
gan's entire vote, or 2S, to the gold con-
tingent. This rule is another factor in
favor of the gold men and may win the
day for them.

Something About the Trip.

The excursion given by the Wheeling

1870 o'clock. The train made the run
home in less than nine hours, leaving
Toledo at $3.50 p. M. and making few
stops. Eveyone reported having an
excellent time and the thanks of the
party are due to Mr.. o. R. Wood, OF
w. & l.. E. Railroad for the courtesy
and attention shown them by him, and
the fine manner in which the excursion
was managed Mr.. Wood worked with
untiring energy to make the excursion
a success in every detail and was ever
present to see that everyone was made
comfortable.
The excursion left Wheeling Friday
morning at 10 O'Clock. Neither a pref
tier nor a more interesting route for an
outing could have been chosen. 1t

through one Of our most populous States
and a charming ride over Lake E rie.
Toledo was reached at $50 p. m. AT
Fremont, a committee, consisting OF
n. T. Elliott, Ed. J. Weiss, II. j. Mid
daugh, Sam Dare, Henry Thorspeck and

hearty handshake and welcomed
them to Toledo, The Queen Of the
Lakes" Souvenir badges and invitations
20 the reception and banquet were pre-
scented and hotels assigned.
Arriving at Toledo supper was par
taken OF and sightseeing was in order
until $50. when the banquet took place
at Masonic Temple. Bountiful arrange
ments we're made for the guests, and
the Wheeling folks were escorted to the
banquet hal where an elaborate col
lation, consisting of delicately served
cod meats. salads, condiments, with
lemonade and frappe. had been prepar-
ed. Guy G. Major, Mayor of Toledo
was the first speaker of the evening
In a graceful address he welcomed the
visitors TO The city. Speeches or good
fellowship and congratulation followed

Rains of Sunday night Tapped over
into Monday.
The total rainfall for 1895 was 31.60
inches. or an average of about $50
inches per month. AT the rate we have
been going during the present month
the rainfall will reach SIS inches, or
nearly three times the monthly aver.
age of 1895, rate which would give
an annual precipitation of 80 inches.
These figures will give the reader
tangible idea of what damp time we
are really having, and will increase the
wonder that the small streams have
not been on rampage and the rivers at
food height Yesterday afternoons
storm was the twenty-eighth thunder
storm of the year, as against total OF
twenty-seven for the whole of 1895,
Yesterday morning at o'clock, after
a night of almost uninterrupted rain,
there was a very heavy downpour,
which flooded the streets almost as
badly as they were early Sunday even
ing. and yesterday afternoon there was
another big dash of rain, with vivid
lightning.
The big rain of Sunday night was
very heavy out the Pittsburg division
of the B. G. o. in the country centering
about West Alexander and Little
Wheeling creek ran out pretty hard,
while the railroad was damaged to
some extent and the county roads
washed. No serious damage was re-
ported, however.
