Il, Central Scenes of Activity. *
The headquarters OF Mr.. Scott, at the
Ruffner. and of Governor Atkinson, are
the central scenes OF activity. 4 These
gentlemen nre on good terms. as are nil
the candidates, in fact. Governor At
klnson's Office Is thronged also with
Visitors and he Keeps up O cheerful
meln. None of the candidates give out
any figures, all claiming good progress.
The caucus will settle the matter. & f3$i. &
incidental to the senatorial matter 4:
is well to state right here that I'm the
election OF the presidency OF the senate
there was no Significance bearing on the
senatorshlp, as our Democratic friends
are pleased to think. Mr.. MARSHALL him
self authorizes me to say this, and I
explained last night Mr.. Whitaker's
reasons for declining to permit the use
ofthls name. s.
In connection with this subject also Is
testimonial received here tonight by
Delegate Connolly. Of Ohio county, re-
.futfng the statements contained In the
petition which was circulated by, Ger.
tain parties in Wheeling and which has
been already referred to In the press
against Hon. N. B. Scott, also the vii
lainous assaults about him being an
enemy of organized labor5in the SOCIAL.
ed Republican morning Herald, OF this
city. These assaults are simply out
rageous and have dlsgusted Republic
cans and Democrats alike. IS. rs L. 4.
Testimonial of sGlassworkcrs. q
The testimonial is that Of u number
OF; glass workers formerly employed in
the Central glass works, covering the
period TINT Mr.. Scott was general man
ager. 1t declares that having been In
formed that. reports have been circu-
lated against him tending to show that
during that time Hon. N. B. Scott ms
such manager was tyranRical and op.
posed 10 organized labor. they feel in
duty bound. as a. matter Of right to re-
flute such statements. 4 Sss
The rensonj for such reports is. apDart
ent to those who know Mr.. Scott, and tof
his candidacy at this time for6 United
States senator. q 80

presented the side OF the workmen in
disputed questions TINT might nrise be-
tween the company and the men. We
always found Mr.. Scott courteous nnd
willing to listen respectfully to our side
of q controversy. tr3 he never gave us
any cause for complaint for harsh
treatment. AT no time while Hon, N.
B. Scott was manager of the Central
glass works was there employed In that
factory any non-union labor: but on the
contrary good wages, paid regularly,
prevailed. Sss 80 :
AIIigh Compliments.
The only cause OF complaint among
glass workers whom We have heard ex-
press themselves about Mr.. Scott Is the
regret that other business and pursuits
called his attention away from the glass
business into other fields of usefulness,
deprlving 1t in this locality of one of
the most energetic and intelligent man.

The testimonial concludes with the
assertion that the workmen have no In
terest, direct or remote, in Mr.. Scott.s
election, but only desire to correct nny
false impression that might be made by
the circulation of N scurrilous article
that would besmfrch man above re-
proach. The testimonial is signed by
