Nashville, Oct. 1.-Postmaster Willis
received letter from General Shat
ter, dated Camp Wikoff, Sept rs, in
which he saws Of newspaper attacks upon
him: 9TH attacks of the yellow press
upon me and others of the administra-
ton are SIM ly outrageous. The articles
are filled tn untruth, beginning with
the one that I was responsible for the
equipment of the army with Spring
field rifles. which you and every other
sensible man knows Is lie. The be-
havior of some Of the yellow journals
was so outrageous before we even got
to Cuba that I had to put my hand on
them, and after we got to Cuba 1t was
still worse. Their letters are the re-
suit of personal spite. If l had come
back with a defeated army there might
have been some excuse for their talk,
but having commanded one of the most
military history, 1t is simply an out
rage.
Il am very fond of Evans (pension
commissioner and am very glad you
are defending him. Some of the G. A.
r. are simply unbearabe and seem to
think that IL they can't have the treas
ury turned over to them they are being
defrauded."

The Republicans Uneasy.

Boston, Oct 3.-The Washington cor
respondent of The Herald says: Presi-
dent Mckinley ard the Republican lead
ers are facing the congressional elections
this autumn with good deal Of anxiety.
The president, with his usual cheerful
optimism, is more hopeful than some Of
his advisers that the Republicans will
retain control of the house, but he ap-
preciates the necessity for earnest effort
for insuring this result. His conferences
with Senators Hanna and Elkns and
other political managers last week were
to this end
The loss of congress means great
deal to the administration. 1t means
not only the moral rebuke implied in
party defeat, but very serious embar-
ra==-aent in the elaborate program which
will be laid before congress this autumn
for action. This program cannot be
carried out during the three months of
the short session. Hardly more than
beginning can be made
The fact is dawning upon the Republic
can leaders that there is very little net
capital for them in the war. Even Col
onel Roosevelt with the glamor Of the
successful charge at San Juan hill
around him, Is not proving the tower of
strength which the politicians expected.
The crucial question is, how the gold
Democrats will vote.
The real strength of the Republican
campaign lies in the Importance Of main
tanning the gold standard and prevent
Ing check to business prosperity. In
the matter of electing members of the
house Of representatives the Republic
cans propose to call attention to the
really essential requirement that the
house shall be organized for sound
money. The Republicans propose to
make this more conspicuously the issue
during the remaining weeks Of the cam
paign, and to ask gold Democrats to
pause and consider whether they shall
contribute by their votes to putting
young Mr.. Bailey or some other silver
extremist in the chair of Speaker Reed.
Control of the speakership means the
control of the committees, the shaping
of legislation and the absolute decision
of the question whether sound legisla-
tion or bad shall come before the house.

A Good Thing.

Parkersburg recognizes a good thing
now and then. They have been max
ing arrangements for long time, and
now announce that it will be only
very short time until the Parkersburg
and Marietta Traction Co. begins work
the line for electric cars from Parkers-
burg to Willtamstown being the OBJ
ject. The right of way has been Sc
cured for nearly the whole route and
so soon as the rest OF it is obtained
work will begin, as the capital is
ready and waiting. If this road
should be completed and bridge
thrown across the river here, then
Parkersburg could boast of having
conection with an oil center, college
town and an up-to-date business town
in every respect. Laying aside all
seeming levity, an electric line of this
description would mean much for the
towns connected and incidentally for
the owners Of it.

Received the Ballots.

The presiding judges of elections
for the various precincts throughout
the county were in town Friday to re-
ceive their ballots and other supplies
for the coming Tuesday election. Tney
were instructed that each voter must
be given a Court House -.cket at the
same time he receives the other bal
lot and also that If the voter did not
vote the Court House ticket at the
same time he voted the other he could
not be allowed it at another time and
vice versa, giving each voter one op-
portunity only to enter the booth and
vote on both elections

In spite of the many demonstrations of

evidence. as practical women not blessed

venient style to lay entirely aside For

is the standard garment-provided the form
accords with fashit ms decrees.
Skirts must be trimmed and ruffies are
the dominant trimming for black skirts
The more the skirt is ruffied the narrower
II grows, as the following table will show:
