The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1898-11-02

Readers OF the Intelligeneer viii recall
the bringing OF a civil suit in the court
OF Squire Dunning last week. IN which
II. H. Mclaughlin was the plainhR
and another Democratic worker defend
ant The case was set for yesterday az
ternoon. but by agreement OF the attor-
neys representing both sides. the trial
has been deferred until Tuesday. No
vember 1s.
Evidently these quarreling Democratic
workers are afraid to allow the public
to learn the particulars OF the case
afraid that the methods used In behalf
OF j. R Hissom In his canvass for q
place on the Ohio county ticket. will not
strengthen his case before the people.
Therefore they postpone the occasion OF
possibly damaging developments until
after the election.
Mclaughlin sues the other worker to
recover so. Mclaughlin claims Il was
a loan which has not been paid. The
other fellow had an entirely different
understanding OF this little financial
transactlon-aS he sees It he was being
paid for his support uf HlSsom. Nc
LauEhlin was endeavoring to persuade
HissOm to assume the outlay he had
made In his behalf when that Chapline
street conversation. reported in last
Wednesdays Inteiligencer. took place.
As the Intelligencer stated at the time,
AR. HISsom replied that he had author
lied Mclaughlin TO spend no money for
MIN. and declined to come TO time. Then
Mclaughlin went after the other fellow.
the worker to whom he had loaned" the
money.
Now that these people have cooled Oh,
naturally they do not desire TO open to
the gaze OF the public the methods that
are used TO place a man with q barrel
upon q Democratic ticket in Ohio coun-
~. AT least, not at this dime, with cleo
ton not a week away.
Mr. Hissom's barrel Is an awful dis
appointment to the local Democratic
workers Before the convention It was
circulated that his income at one time
from oil was 81 500 a dsy-"and wen
set az least a thousand sure" was the
confident prophesy OF the Hissom work
ers. But they haven't up 10 date, and II
Is not likely that they will. whereat the
boys on the other side OF the political
fence feel very bad.
sMITH-DAYToN MEETING.
From the showing OF interest already
manifested in the Smith Dayton meet
iug on next Friday evening In the Op-
era House. X IS evident that the Re-
publIcans OF Ohio county viii show their
Democratic brethren such an example
OF enthusiasm as will strike dismaV In
TO the Popocratlc ranks, where the be-
lief seems to be held that this Is an on
year for Republicanism In West VIZ
ginia. AIr. Smiths fame as an eloquent
speaker has preceded him, and although
he has never spoken here before the
average Wheeling Republican feels that
he knows NJ. Smith. Congressman
Dayton, OF course. has been mere be
fore, and that he will preach the doc
trine OF Republicanism with viGoE and
eloquence goes without saying. The
Registers silly presumption that NJ
Dayton's coming TO Wheeling means
that he has given up his campaign in
his own district IS too utterly absurd to
be considered seriously.
