SHAME !

The VI heeling Inte'ligencer and the
Parkersburg Journal are the two lead
ing journalistic opponents of Republic
canism in West Virginia. The Journal
says editorially:
The spectacle of defeated Presidential
candidate hiring himself out to county
fairs as side show on a percentage of
receipts is one to make the average
sas and other western towns that Mr.
Bryan is appearing at county fairs under
contract for given proportion of the gate
receipts.
The Intelligencer, which apes high,y
moral and virtuous tone, says edi-
torially:
Bryan is to be brought into Ohio at the
Wind-up of the campaign. to deliver the
funeral orationS of the PopOcratic cause
at $500 per speech.
And these two papers, which are sup
posed to be the highest types of Repub-
lican journalism in the State, hasten
to give currency to these bald palpable
falsehoods which were too contemptible
to be printed in any paper with any
claim to decency, regardless of politics
in the United States The Wheeling
Intelligencer and the Parkersburg
Journal, the flower of West Virginia
Republican journalism, vie with each
other in dishing up this vomit from
some dyspeptic stomach overloaded
with petty partisan malice.
Mr.. Bryan's services have ever been
given gladly and freely to his party.
indeed, he has made more personal sac
Ifices than any candidate ever made
o help the cause of the people, which
nearest his heart. Practically with
,ut money and without support other
han that of the plain, intelligent peo-
pie, Mr.. Bryan fought the last cam
1aign almost single handed and came
within small margin of winning that
great battle, although against him were
solidly arrayed, not only the plutocracy
of this country, but of England, band
ed together, with a corruption fund of
unlimited millions and all the journal
istic and otatorical talent that money
could buy.
A poor ban to begin with. Mr.. Bryan

Bocher, for couple of days.
Since the opening Of the saloons
again it seems that there is already an
improvement in the appearance of the
city, and that the merchants are doing
more business. There is no doubt but
that the fact that the saloons were
closed took great deal of money out
OF the city which would have been
spent here otherwise
Mrs. E. A. Durham, of Wells street,
left this morning for Wheeling, where
she spent the day very pleasantly with

THE DROUTH.
sympathy.

The present drouth comes very near
breaking the record for the country.
In this section the record has been
broken. The river is lower now than
it ever has been. Luckily most of the
wheat has been safely harvested, bur
everything else has suffered to the
verge of ruin. Corn is burned up,. The
fruit crop is total failure, even grapes
are badly damaged while potatoes and
all garden stuff have suffered
in proportion. Live stock is
suffering for water Things have
reached such pass that even an
abundance Of wet weather would hardy
improve the situation as regards the
crops.
In addition to this, the drying up CT
the small streams and the consequent
lack of drainage and the absence Of
rains that would wash away the accum-
ulations of filth in the cities as well as
in the country, create a situation that
is serious menace to health.
Take Wheeling creek as a sample of
this condition. 1t is but a scagnant gut
ter of horrible, disease-breeding filth.
which lines its dry banks and accumu-
lates daily. For this, of course, there is
no remedy but rain.

The odds on the Tammany candi-
late, Judge Van Wyck, on the New
York Stock Exchange, the best posted
concern in America, at last accounts
had risen to 21a to 1, and although
Tracy, the straight Republican candi-
date, has been placed at the tail of
the procession, an even bet was made
that he would receive more votes than
Low, who was heralded as the re-
form savior of the new and greater
metropolis. New York has had quite
enough of reform such as it was.
