licans and Populists in the State
to carry it. In 1896 they found
that the negroes in the eastern
part of the State had seen the eff
feet of the combination and how
they were swapping Offices and
they had to give the negroes in
several of the eastern counties
some of the Offices. They drew
the color line themselves by that
very act. They switched the ne.
groes off from the national party
in that way. And now my advice
to you is to stay at home and
hold aloof from this fusion bus
mess.
1.-The two Legislatures of the
fusionists were a disgrace to a
heather nation; a political gam
bling shop; a horse, swapping
arrangement; regular "boneyard'
politics where they were enabled
TO swap Offices with each other.
Senator Butler complains that
the Republicans got about $780,
900 more out of fusion than the
Populists. Did you ever hear the
like Of that before? The distribu-
ton of offices seems to be the
basis of securing votes in this
thing!
1.-THE Republicans who went
into the fusion arrangement were
boilers themselves. Ia 1892 Mott,
Russell, Harris & Co., bolted the
ticket. In 1894, when they saw
there was no chance for them to
come to the front in the Republi-
can party, they took Marion
Butler in and arranged the fusion
deal. Pie carried the Republicans
off. To-day you Republicans are
in the woods. You may win a
victory in November, but it
means ultimate defeat and dis
grace. My advice to you all is
that if they will put out a straight
Republican ticket. vote it. l will.
But if the present fusion ticket is
adhered to, stay at home"
Buffers estimate of Russell.
fusion and the late disgraceful
legislature is based on pie. The
estimate Of Capt, Eaves is based
on honest conviction and facts.

It is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, Or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the

blood, and hence can not be cut out.

TOMORROW will be ST. Valentine
day, feast which is generally cele-
brated in social way. There will be
no elaborate observance sf the day in
this city, but it is likely that
soirees will be more than usu-
ally numerous Several Wheeling
hostesses have provided very novel
features for the entertainment of their
guests tomorrow night. The old
custom of sending tender missives
from lover to sweetheart, is nowadays
more honored in the breach than in the
observance. Even the opportunity for
avenging real or imaginary wrongs by
means of the atrocious comics" has
fallen into disfavor, and the valentine
maker finds very little occupation
Nevertheless there are many persons
+Rl sehd anonymously the dainty
little conceits in lace and silk, with
appropriate verses expressing the de-
gree of their affection. For these the
shop windows are very tempting just
now, and it is said that a Wheeling
gentleman who is something Of an ar
fist. has received private orders from
a number of his male friends, for hand
painted valentines Of original design.
One hostess has made a happy select
ion for an entertainment tomorrow
evening, which Cupid will no doubt
approve. The invitations are in the
shane of a heart. and the game of the
evening will be progressive hearts"
