License in Tyler County and Some
Lies.

Tyler county has voted for Ii
cense. The process by which
this was brought about is instruc.
tive, and will bear repeating for
the benefit of other counties and
other people.
In the beginning, the town coun-
ell of Sistersville desired license, and
granted their permits to several
persons to sell liquors within the
town limits, The county Court ap-
parently thinking that Sistersville
did not know her own business,
picked out some two or three from
among the whole number to whom
they granted license; whereupon
the council revoked their permits,
and would allow no one to sell In
Sistersville under the county Ii
cense. The next thing in order
was for the Middlebourne people to
get together, and with the assist
amer of the county authorities, the
the circuit court and a grand jury
to suit, to bring in some sixteen
hundred indictments against men
who had been selling liquor, not
one in twenty of which were ever
brought to trial but were kept
hanging over the heads of the peo-
pie indicted, for what purpose
can be easily surmised, while the
parties went on selling liquor the
same as before, and presumably
"whacking up" portion of the
profits of the benefit of some one
not the county-all the time.
The people of Tyler, under this
state of affairs, came to the con-
clusion that if liquor must and
would be sold, that the county
might as we'll have the benefit of
the license tee as to let 1t 60 to In
dividuals, and so voted to regulate
the traffic by granting license.
They did not do this, however, I'm {,
til they were satisfied that there
was no intention on the part of the
court or anyone else to suppress
the traffic, as for that purpose five
indictments would have been as
good as five hundred. as the court
has the power both to fine and i'm
prison. In the mean time the sale
of liquor in the town of Sistersville
has never stopped, the authorities
fneing the saloon keepers so much
a month for their infraction of the
city ordinance, and some one else
squeezing them on the indictments,
for whose benefit no one seems to
know. Under the circumstances,
we presume the people of Tyler
county have done a wise thing

been moving along very slowly,
and the fact has exasperated the

there is a sudden change in field
conditions much higher prices
must be paid to secure sufficient oil

Andy Bruner has purchased M.
c. Hagaan's interests in the Bow
ser, Fluharty and Roberts leases
In the new extension of the Elk
Fork field. Unless all signs fail
this new field recently opened up is
going to make pile of money for
the lucky owners of the farms in
that part of our county.
And now our old friend. D. S.
W., says the reports at the end of
this month will show the second
largest production for the month
will be from Elk Fork. We are
glad our friend Is recognizing this
we'll known fact, namely, that good
old Tyler county is still leader in
oil production and Sistersville is
headquarters for the best producing
oil field on earth.
The we'll drilled in by Thompson
& Co. on the Harrison Lightner
farm, short distrnce from develop
ments in the old Sistersville field,
has been drilled through the Big
Injun sand and is reported as a
very small well and will not make
more than S barrels day and per.
haps not that much. II is quite a
disappointment to the owners and
those who held lease near the well.
The amount of hauling going out
from this city every day is some
thing fabulous. Over three hun
dred teams day is conservative
estimate. Not only are the team
sters busy but there seems to be a
good demand for labor of every
kind here at this time. Working
men are scarce and all who want
work can get it at good round wages.
There is no good reason for the
slight decrease in the price of oil
at this time, but its matter who'll
ly controlled by the Standard, and
just now the managers of this gi-
gantic trust seem to be disposed TO
cut the price. We do not think
they will go much lower.

Ballot Frauds.

Since w. R. D. Dent, the demo-
cratic candidate for the house Of
delegates in Taylor. county, has
been found to be elected a howl has
gone up from republicans all over
the state and they cry fraud" Il
there was any fraud committed in
that county it was committed by
republicans. They had the whole
election machinery in their hands.
Their authority was undisputed al
every polling place. The wonder
is that there was not a more fraud
ulent voting in Taylor county than
there really was. The wonder is
that a democrat was found to be
elected at all. No doubt the re-
publican machine in Taylor county
miscalculated on the number OF
fraudulent votes necessary to put
into the ballot box in order to Sc
cure the election of the republican
ticket. The cry of fraud" is made
simply to cover up the designs Of
the machine. 1t has undertaken to
wrest from the democratic party the
control of the legislature, and every
means fair or foul, will be employed
to that end. The machine is now
claiming with confidence that they
will get two members of the lower
house of the legislature by the re-
count in Cabell county. How do
they know this in advance of the
recount? 1t looks suspicious. 1t
looks as if they had determined to
steal Cabell county, no matter what
there was found in the ballot boxes
whether a majority of democratic
votes or majority of republican
votes.
This premature assertion on the
part of the machine leaders har-
monte with the report that comes
from Huntington to the effect that
packages of ballots were found open
and ungarded in the court house
either before or after the official
canvass by the county court was
made. If these ballots could be
tempered with in this way, there
is very good reason to fear that a
great many fraudulent ballots found
their way into the ballo. boxes in
Cabell and that the leaders of the
machine knew what they are talk
ing about when they say that they
will get two members of the legis
lature from Cabell.
In Kanawha county the leaders
of the machine have at least laic
themselves under suspicion. Here
we have the circuit clerk and the
acting county clerk, both on the
board of ballot commissioners Why
have the county clerk and the act
ing county clerk both been put or
the board? Isn't one republican
county official on the board enough
, Was there any good reason why
the county clerk should be appoint
ed as a ballot commissioner? W.
do not say that these gentlemen
have not been perfectly square anc
honest, but 1t is tact that they
could have committed frauds il
they had desired to do so. They
had practically everything in theil
own hands. 1t lilly becomes these
leaders of the republican machine
to cry fraud" while their act.

BRYAN TALKS.
He Breaks His Long Silence
For the First Time
ON ELECTION RESULTS
Thinks Republicans Won on
Account of War Record.

Lincoln, New, Nov. I6.-Col
w. J. Bryan last night gave to the
Associated Press the following in
terview, relative to the late cleo
ton:
"While I do not understand that
service in the volunteer army pre-
vents a soldier from expressing
opinion upon political questions, /
declined to take part in the late
campaign lest I should be accused
by the partisan opponents of at
tempting to embarras the admins
tration. Now. that the election is
over, l shall exercise a citizens
privilege of discussing the returns.
compared with the election
of 1896, the republicans have
gained in some places and lost in
others. 1t was not sweeping re-
publican victory. On the whole
the result is not surprising when it
is remembered that the administra-
ton just concluding a successful
war.
"While majority of the soldiers
are probably anti republicans, the
management of the war has been
entirely in republican hands, and
the strongest argument used dur
ing the campaign we that repub-
lican defeat would discredit the
president in the eyes of the foreign
nations while the commissioners are
engaged in making treaty.
1T was not trial upon the issues
before the people, but successful
plea for a continuance of the case.
The people have not accepted the
gold standard; they have not fallen
in love with the plan to give TIL
banks monopoly of the issue of
paper money; they have not decid-
ed to retire the greenbacks; they
have not surrendered to the trusts.
"These questions were forced in
to the background by the declara
ton of war, but they must be faced
again as soon as peace is restored.
The Chicago platform presents for
public consideration certain vital
economic questions. That platform
has not been abandoned by those
who endorsed it in 1896. It will be
re-afirmed in 1900 because it gives
expression to the hopes and aspira,
tons of a large majority Of the
party.
when the democrats, populists
and silver republicans favored Gu
ban independence they understood
that war would give temporary
advantage to the party In power,
but they were willing to risk defeat
in order to aid the people fighting
to be free.
Neither can the election be re-
garded as an endorsement of any
definite foreign policy. Until a
treaty of peace has been entered
into, and the terms made known
the people cannot pass judgment on
lit. Whether the war will raise any
question of sufficient importance &c
turn dublic attention from domestic
problems remains to be SEEN"
In regard to the Nebraska cleo,
ton, he said. "a light vote was
cast in Nebraska, but the tusionists
have elected the entire state ticket
and carried the same congressional
districts that they carried in 1896.
If Senator Allen is defeated for re-
election it will be because senators
are elected by legislators, instead Of
by the people. If republican sen
ator is chosen by the new legisla,
ture he will 60 to Washington tc
represent a minority of the people
of the state, and to thwart the will
of the majority"

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.
From Mondays Daily.

OupdlJ III IAS OAIhSoSS
of the Elk Fork pool, which has
been making a small production in
the Keener for some time, was
drilled into the Big Injun early Sat-
urday morning and the result was
most fattering. The well gushed
out $50 barrels in about two hours,
and conservative estimate places
the producing ability of the well
after it settles at 800 barrels a day.
This rich strike will have a favora-
BILE effect on operations at Elk Fork
and will increase the already great
activity in drilling. The Eastern
has started rig for their No. 3 Du'
val.
The roads in the northeast ex-
tension are we'll nigh impossible.
and a break down of vehicles, more
or less serious, is reported every
day. 1t would seem an economic
al policy for the producers to in
augurate a good road movement.
The Little Muskingum Oil Co.
will shoot their No. 2 Martha
Thomas today. This we'll has been
making q small production for sew
eral months, but it is believed that
its capacity can be greatly increased
by shooting it.
Tte1e was welcome surprise
sprung at Wilson's run yesterday
morning, aud territory in that To-
calitv is looking up most decidedly.
Gordon & Co.'s No. 3 on the Poul-
ton was drilled in and Is making an
even production of IL barrels an
hour.
Henderson Bros. No. 2 Eastman
at Wilson Run came in yesterday
morning a heavy gasser, but there
is no show of oil.
Refined oil quotations unchanged
today. New York 1890 per gallon,
Philadelphia and Baltimore 7.25
per gallon.
The runs of Pennsylvania or
high grade oils averaged 75,76e
barrels per day for the first IS
days of November, while the ship
ments for the same period averaged
but 1890 barrels day, showing
an excess of runs over shipments Of
1927 barrels per day. These
averages will vary during the bal.
ance OF the month. The stocks Of
oil, however will probably be In.
creased from $4,000 to 1907 900 bar
rels this month.
The shipments of Lima oil fol
the first half of the month averaged
7I,7Io barrels day and runs aver
aged 44,425, an excess Of shipments
over runs of 27,2S5 barrels per day
If this rate continues throughout
the month the stocks of Lima oil
will be decreased from 100000 tc
$50, 900 barrels in November.
The Russian oil fountain, which
may have spouted oil at the rate o.
so, 900 barrels day, cannot be de
pended on to make up the monthly
deficiency of oil in the United
States. Fifty thousand barrels Of
oil day would certainly make q
large amount of oil in a month.
Considerable force would be requir.
ed to shoot that much oil through
the largest drive pipe. The oil
would fall upon the ground forming
a lake of oil. Then this gushel
will probably go the way of similar
wells in Russia. the hole fill III
with sand and stop flowing and thu
oil lake be destroyed by fire.
The general opinion on the OF
market, which is simply a guess a
to what the Standard Oil compan,
will do, is that prices may possibl,
decline to the basis of $I.Io 70
