GREAT MEETING.
Hon. John 7. McGraw Attacks Day

Tremendous Turnout of Democrats.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Philippi, w. Va, October 31.-One Of
the largest political meetings ever seen
in Barbour county was held here to-
day. Fully twenty-five hundred people
assembled to hear John t. McGraw
beard the lion in his dem
More disagreeable weather is seldom
seen in this latitude. yet the unterri-
fed Democracy of Dayton's home
county braved the rain, hail and mud
with a determination that means sue
cess.
The young champion Of Democratic
faith in the Second district was in fine
form and handled the issues of the
campaign with great earnestness and
vigOr.
1t seems that Dayton has been re-
iecting on the business integrity of Nc
Graw in speeches in the Eastern Pan
Handle. McGraw told the people of
Barbour county that he came to Day
toms home to denounce as falsetefn
assertions of DaytQnu ifead affidavits
end OF, thfh6y were false.
But the great sensation of the day
came when Col. McGraw produced a
telephone message, several letters and
a check for twenty dollars, all showing
the speaker asserted, an attempt on
the part of Dayton and the chairman
of the Republican committee of Pres
ton county to buy into line one John
R. Purinton, of Independence. This
exposure, under the searchlight of Col.
McGraw's tremendous power as an or
ator, set the great audience wild.
J. Hop. Woods, candidate for State
Senator, also made a very strong
speech. He told his hearers that the
election of his opponent meant an
other tool" in the Senate in the hands
of Elkins, but as for himself he wore
no mans collar" and had no higher
ambition than to serve faithfully the
common interests of the whole people
of the Tenth Senatorial district.
The entire meeting was great sue
cess and Barbour's Democracy will do
its duty on the eighth of November.

U. s. Consul Hanna Says There Are Few
Openings in Porto Rico for Americans.
Washington, October 31.-The fol-
lowing report from Mr.. Hanna, Amer
lean consul at Porto Rico, has been re-
ceived by the assistant secretary of
State and will be of interest to per-
sons contemplating migration to that
island. In his report Mr.. Hanna says:
Il am convinced that young men
seeking work or positions Of any kind
should not come to Porto Rico. Such
persons as clerks. carpenters, mechan-
les and laborers Of all grades. should
stay away. No American should come
expecting to strike it rich and no per-
son should come here without plenty of
money to pay board bills and have
enough to take him back home to the
United States. deem it important that
the department cause this suggestion
to be made public through the news
papers Of the country.

RACE WAR SITUATION
At Wilmington, North Carolina, Shows
Signs OF Again Eecoming Acute


signs of Again Becoming Acute.
Wilmington, n. c., October 31.-Not-
withstanding the more peaceful OUT
look that has prevailed for the past
two days, the feeling of unrest begins
to show itself again tonight There
is disquieting rumor that the negroes
are seriously considering the question
of running a county ticket, regardless
of the wishes of Governor Russell.
The unexpected arrival of Governor
Russell this evening gives rise to the
hope among conservative people that
Gov. Russell had heard of the move
ment of the negroes to place a county
tickle tin the field and has come here
to suppress it If possible.
There is little doubt that if a Repub-
lican ticket is brought out for county
offices the situation here will become
more serious than ever. The Demo-
Gratis have carried out their part of the
arrangement made with the Governor
by changing their candidates for the
lower house of the Legislature. and
they are furious over the talk Of
negro county ticket.
An editorial in the negro paper, the
Record, of this afternoon is considered
a positive indication that the negoss
90 not consider the question Of county
ticket finally settled.

SENATOR HANNA
Admits That the Outbreak in Ohio
Bears Discouragements of Rather
Serious Character.

Cleveland, O.. October Ex-senator
NJ. A. Hanna, discussing the probable
result of the coming State election,
said to-day:
Il am of the opinion that the Re-
publican majority in Ohio will not be
as large as it was in 1896. and believe
there will be a slight falling off from
last years figures. The reports from
the State committees are very favor
able. however, and | am sure that the
party will be victorious in this State"
Senator Hanna said there was little
truth in the reports as to the effect
that the national campaign would be
opened Immediately after fall election.

Her two little children were awakened
by the scuffle and when they saw
their mother fall in n swoon began
screaming. The black william tearing
