The Cnmnnign ofISOO.

In late interview, Senator Han
ma has been giving away some OF
the inside history of the campaign
of 1896. He refutes the claims of
the average Republican newspaper
that by reason of the silver issue
the Republicans had plain and easy
sailing from tho beginning. Soma
tor Hanna says that when he first
struck Wall street as chairman of
the Republican committee, he
realized that the situation was dan
gerous and he had some difficulty
in convincing the money influence
of the extent of the danger in order
to get the large contributions to the
campaign fund that was required.
Senator Hanna says that the Re-
publicans were taken on surprise
by the silver issue forced by the
Democratic platform as Mr.. Whit
ney and the Eastern Democrats
had been depended upon to keep
silver out of the platform. He adj
mits that the Republicans were
embarrassed and handicapped by
the silver issue from the fact that
every prominent Republican cam
paign speaker was met with his own
speeches in favor of silver. All
these things had to be overcome by
the lavish use of money. He adj
mits that an enormous sum of
money was contributed and expend.

Didn't Want to Hear Angels

Gallipolis Tribune: Mr.. William
Steenbergen, of Gallipolis Ferry,
was in the city, day or two ago.
He was relating some interesting
experiences he had recently while
on surveying trip up Tug River.
He says the people drink too much
mountain dew to suit him. You
have to drink with everyone that
asks you, or offend, and if you of
fend, you'd better get away as soon
as possible. Indeed, he found that
civil engineer was not very de-
sirable quantity and came away
rather than argue the question up
there where the mountain peaks
lowered to the very heavens and
whore big mountaineer told him
that if he stretched another link of
that chain "he'd hear the angels
sing" Not any of that for William
at that particular time and he re-
turned to arm himself with docu-
ments from the United States
Court and see if that will do any
good

Hanna stirs Thom Up.

Charleston Gazette.
Senator Hanna's interviews make
the very best of campaign matter
for the Democrats. The old man
is inflated with his great success
and when his mouth gets started
he has SO many individual griev-
ances that it runs wild on him. He
jolts up his personal enemies with
in his own party in way that is
interesting and refreshing to Dom
ocrats. They are forcibly remind
ed of that old saying to the effect
that when certain class of individ-
uals foil out among themselves
other people began to hear the
truth. Hanna says of Major Jones
that he is a nero crank who does
not amount to anything and has
no following except idlers, the riff
raft and the buns. This is highly
appreciated by the people of To
ledo who elected Jones Mayor by q
large majority. This same ritf-raff
and these same buns will make it
point to be out next November to
indorse Hanna's estimate by voting
for his minion Nash, for Governor,
He hops on McKisson like thous-
and of brick and calls him cold
blooded scoundrel who is ambi-
tious for office and has the audacity
to run for office without having
first gotten the consent of the boss
of the party. He also shows how
he sends his emissaries among the
labor organizations to defeat any
and all plans they may have for
bettering their condition and to
corrupt their leaders and have them
deliver the labor vote to the Re-
publican party. 1t is bad for the
Democrats, that Hanna is going to
Europe this summer. Should he
remain at home he would keep the
animals stirred up until election
day,

Council Meeting.

The town council met in adj
journed session Tuesday night,
June 18th, 1899.
Present Mayor, Clerk, Solicitor
an quorum of councilmen.
Hon. j. S. Spencer and others
presented and read wuter-works
and electric light franchise for the
Point Pleasant and Water works
and Light Co., and asked it to be
granted for term of twenty years,
and be made contract between
the town and the Company for
furnishing water and light to the
town, at cost of $4,000 per year
for both light and water.
Counsel appearing on behalf of
taxpayers interposed objection to
its consideration, asking time to
examine the franchise and also the
report of the special committee,
who had visited the water works of
the several nearby towns.
The promoters of the franchise,
raising no objection to hisrequest,
but rather conceding the justice of
the request, the council continued
the consideration of this franchise
until next Monday night, when
they will take action upon the
question of granting the franchise.
The Council resolved itself into a
Committee of tho Whole, includ-
ing the Mayor, Clerk and City So
licitor, and will meet this afternoon
at o'clock in the Council Cham
Der, together with the special com
mittee sent out to examine water
works of other towns, who will
mako written report to the Coun-
Gil acting as Committee of the
Whole.
The Council will look carefully
and thoroughly into the ques.
ton of granting water and
light franchise, and will not
grant 1T until 1T Is discussed IN
every detail, nor will they unneces.
sarily delay and prolong a decision
in the matter.
Before adjournment Hon. Rank
in Wiley asked the council if il
would not appoint committee tC
confer with the Trustees of the
Lewis Monument Fund, who now
have the money in their hands, and
see what time citizens meeting
could be called, to discuss the mat
ter of location and building of the
monument, &c. The council there
upon appointed a committee from
its own body, composed of the fol.
loving gentlemen: w. g. Whaley,
Mayor, j. M. Burdette, j. Fried
man and G.. w. M. Hoof.

Onrroncx Leglslntion.

Charleston Gazette.
The Gold Democrats are urging
President Mckinley to call an ex-
ira session of Congress for the sim
gle purpose of passing currency
legislation to more completely CON-
init the government to the single
gold standard. There is every rea-
son to believe that the Administra-
ton is not disposed to do it. The
truth of the matter is that the Adj
ministration would prefer to let the
currency question severely alone
for the present. 1t is dangerous
ground on which to tread SO long
as crops are good and some of the
mills have started and business is
picking up in some localities and
in some lines. 1t is better for the
Administration to let nature take
it's course SO long as nature is run.
ming things in favorable channel,
and claim credit for what nature
does.
The changes in the currency laws
that are being urged, will open up
the old fight between the banks
and the people. The main feature
of the proposed Legislation is to
give to the banks the power to issue
money and take this power away
from the government. Just as soon
as Congress attempts to take away
from the government the power to
issue money and give that power to
the banks, there is going to be dis
turbance among the people that
will result in no good to the party
that is responsible for it. Presi-
don't Mckinley knows this and is
anxious to let alone condition,
which at the present is good
enough. He has managed to get
along SO far without any positive
legislation on the currency and it
is better for the party that this con-
dition be continued for the present

The Outlook Encouraging.


The outlook for the success of
the Democratic party in 1900 is |
most encouraging. There has been
a great revolution in public senti-
ment since 1895, and even since
1896. The party is united in sup
port of the Chicago platform and
the declarations of 1896 will be
made stronger by the planks that
will be added dealing with the new
uueetions. Thousands of people
who voted for Mckinley have al
ready deserted the Republican par
ty and they are rapidly filling up
the Democratic ranks. There are
very few, if any, who voted for
Bryan in 1896 who are not ready
to vote for him again. In addition
to the strength of the party in 1896,
we can reasonably hope for the re-
turn of the many gold Democrats
who have already seen the error OF
their way. The German element,
always largely Republican and al
most solidly against Bryan in 1896,
is rapidly changing front. Many
Germans have been converted to the
cause of free silver coinage, and all
of them are Disguised with the per
sistenoy with which the Republi-
can party pushes the scheme for
an Anglo-Saxon alliance. Besides,
the Germans know something of
the burdens and dangers of an
extensive military system, and see
the tendencies of the Republican
purity. COMMUNICATIONS have
become American citizens in the
belief that this is free country,
and when the test comes they can
be depended upon to do all in their
power to protect it from the dan
gerous drift of present Republican
policies. Republicans generally
are disguised with the weakness OF
Mckinley and methods of Mark
Hanna. The Republican party
was bad enough in 1896, but it will
be infinitely worse in 1900. The
followers of Pingree, McKisson and
Toledo Sam Jones may be expect
ep to leave the Republican party
in large numbers, as they are nat
urally in sympathy with the prin-
oiples and purposes of the Democ.
racy.
-Four years ago the Democratic
organization was in state of chaos.
The party was without leader and
without policy. The party had
to be reorganized in great many
States after the National conven-
ton in 1896. Now there is a strong
organization in every State in the
Union, loyal to all the principles
of the party. Democrats are united
as to a policy and they have loader
rarely uppronohod and mover eur
passed in all the history of politics.
The Democracy of to-day is a pow
erful fighting force, and it is gath
ering strength with each passing
day. 1t is beyond all question in
infinitely better condition than il
was four years ago, and the outlook
is sufficiently encouraging to in
spire the people to such an effort
in behalf of their own rights and
interests as this country has not
yet witnessed.

"If the democrats are prudent, /
think their chances may be con,
sidered very good. If the party
acts wisely and watches it's issues
l think the democrats of West Nir-
ginia need not fear the result"
"Will silver figure very prom
inently in the coming presidential
election?
"Not so largely as it did in the
last election, but | do not mean to
imply that silver will be dropped.
L think it will do it's part, but there
are other issues that may develop
into leading questions. Imperial
ism for instance. The country is

on of the departure of the govern
ment from the traditional prinoi-
pies and promises it once hold"
