the Jefferson county Democracy
we're not in the the present campaign
fully aroused to their oid-time en-
thusiasm, a visit to Charles Town
last Friday would have served to
offectually dispel such illusion.
The people were out in force, and
thecavalcade of horsemen in theafter-
noon, marshalled by Nh. B. Wash
ington, President of the Charles
Town Bryan and Sewall Club, and
Mr.. H. T, Milcy, was something
simply immense. The Charles Town
Cornet Band led the procession,
which included the DIiddleway Club,
mnrshalled by Mr.. W. G. Baker, DIR.
D. p. Fry and A. L. Anderson, with
some $50 horsemen; Mechanicstown
Club, marshalled by Robt. Chew and
Geo. MARROW Kabletown Club, mar
shalled by Mr.. Logan Shut; Lee
town Club, marshalled by Mr.. Thomas
Campbell Summit Point Club, mar
shaIled by DIR. A. p. Thomson and
Mr.. Nelson Coyle; Shenandoah
junction, Dufields and Halltown
Clubs, m~arshalled by Maj. E. H. Nc
Donald and Capt. Jacob Engle, and
Rippon Club, marshalIed by Daniel
Heflebower and A. f. Davis
Among special features of the pro-
cession we're a sorrel horse surround
ed by sixteen white ones, in the
Middleway division, representing
16 to /; a wagon of a. L. Anderson
& Co., in same division, with a
colored Democrat as driver and
bearing a huge flag; Shenandoah
Junction Club banner, "Don't Tread
On Me-" handsome green banner of
Kabletown Club, etc. A number of
colored Democrats were in the
mounted forces.
The speeches, by Hon. II. c. Bell
in the afternoon and Hons. Stilson
Hutchins and e. Wood Daley at
night, were of a high order of merit,
and such as TO appeal to all classes
of our people with telling force.
Did time and space permit we would
like to give each in full. The after
noon meeting was adjourned from
the courthouse to the open space in
front of the county jail, (the speaker
addressing the audience from the
large portico of that building) the
courtroom not being near large
enough to accommodate the numbers
in town who desired to hear the
distinguished orator.
Col. Forrest w. Brown presided
and introduced the speaker at the
afternoon meeting and Capt. George
Baylor omciated in like manner al
night.
The to rchlight parade at night was
a large and imposing spectacle, the
decorations along the streets, fire
works, etc., adding brilliancy to the
scene.
Altogether Friday vas a day long
to he remembered in Charles Town,
and will be borne down in local his
tory as an event of no ordinary
magnitude.

big day for the east-side people.
The entire Populist State ticket in
West Virginia mas Withdrawn in favor
of the Democratic nominees, and the
committee urges every Populist to
support the a didates 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, aud for fear that the votes
may not be counted it is urged that
only the Democratic electors lie
voted for.

The Chiasgo correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution says: "Philip
Armour, the great pork packer, erect
ed an Australian ballot booth in his
stockyards in order to test the senti-
ment of his employees. He had
boosted 80 per cent. of the men in
his e mploy were for Mckinley, aud
he m ade a bet that it would be so
proven on election day. In order to
decide the bet he erected the booth
that it might be proven that no effort
would be made to coerce his men.
When the day was over 500 ballots
had been put in the box, of which
675 were for Bryan and 125 for Nc
Kinley. This was n complete knock
out for Armour. He paid the bet
and has given up the fight"
Independently of the silver and
gold question, which candidate best
represents the interests and aspira-
tions of the great laboring masses
of the nation-McKinley, secretive,
non-committal, mortgaged to Hanna,
the prince of plutocrats, and the
corporations, and there fore incapable
of approaching the conditions and
demands of the depressed and
oppressed people under existing
vicious policies, that are sought to be
perpetuated; or Bryan, manly,
honest, frank, fearless, untrammeled
utterly, absolutely independent, yea,
boldly defiant of the trusts and syn
dictates, and breathing in every word
she utter sympathy for the masses,
and a determination TO protect their
rights. For whom will you vote?
