IT Is rather amusing to read that
West Virginia is put down as a pivi-
toll state in the Presidential issue. A
statement is sent out from that state
which says that the state of New
York can go Republican and yet by
two computations giving West Vr-
GINA to the Democracy, Bryan will
be elected. 1t is said in view Of this
both parties will put in their best
lieks in that state.

SOME Democrats are hopetui
enough of Bryan's election to claim
the State of Illinois for him and tslE
as if they really believed that Stew
enson' popularity will secure it to the
Democratic columns. 1t would hardly
be an impossible thing to elect Bryan
but it would probably cause the most
ssuguine admirer of Bryan to doubt
his success if be depended upon this
electoral vote of Illinois.

OHIO may boast of her splendid
civilization and conformity to law,
and inveigh at what she terms South
ern lawlessness, but no Southern
State has yet committed such an out
rage as that perpetrated upon min
lister, at Mansfield, last Saturday,
while the President of the United
States was rusticating within the
borders of that State.
Cyrus B. Frockler had for some.

end gentleman, in maintaining his
views, was very abusive of other Chris.
tan denominations. For this reason
on his return from Chicago Saturday
he met q mob intent upon Furnishing
him. The hotel at which he stopped
was soon beseiged by an infuristed
mob, that increased in size, noise and
ugly demonstrations, until the police
force was called upon to dispense the
rioters and protect the man. For q
time q spirited contest went on be-
tween the mob and police, the victory
being first with one and then with the
other. The mob finally got possession
of the preacher and started for the
gas house to administer coat of tar
and feathers, and was only prevented
from doing so by the combined police
force, headed by the mayor of the
city. Mr.. Frockler, after his strqg.
