A COMMUNICATION.
Views as to the Political Situation
in Ohio County.

Wheeling, Sept 8, 1900.
To the Editor of the Register:
As the several districts have begun
the formation of Democratic clubs, it
behooves each and every Democrat to
join any club within his district. Age
should not be hindrance. The
younger element can and will form
marching clubs, and the aged can give
their help and experience during the
campaign. In union there is strength,
and as the good, sound Democratic
party has a fine opportunity to elect
Tie State and also the National ticket,
whole and entire, there should be no
tagging. Let each and every voter
join club and give his every effort to
prevent this great and glorious coun-
try from becoming an empire. For,
should another term be given TO that
grand imperialist, William Mckinley,
just so sure will Mark Hanna or Gros-
venlor be proclaimed mper0r-ruler-dic-
tatOr of the United States, the Philip
pines, Cuba and Porto Rico, with full
power to behead any subject who may
express opinions contrary to their die
tatlOn.
1t is also, think, high time that our
county delegations be called together
and name the candidates for the Legis-
la.lve and senatorial hOnors. A short
time ago, in the columns of the Regis
ter, there were mentioned the names of
two gentlemen capable OF repre-
senting the interests of Ohio county in
the Legislature, and it seems to be the
general opinion of our citizens that the
gentlemen named are the right men
for that honor. Mr.. Charles Caren-
bauer and Frank j. Healy are men of
intelligence, and endowed with sound
honest Democratic principles, anfd
should by all means be placed on the
coming legislative ticket, and with two
others equally as good, Ohio county
will without doubt send four gentlemen
who will swell the great majority that
will relegate his ponderous ponderos-
ity, Steve Elkins, to the rear. Call the
convention as soon as possible, and let
us know whom we are to elect, for we
are ready to send the four Democratic
candidates to Charleston to clean out
that gang of leechers and State blood
suckers, never to again return.

ADJUSTMENTS.
VogeI-Deming Minstrels.

Rarely is there a company of en-
tertainers TO be heard whose perform
ance is one of continued merriment OF
first class character from beginning to
the end. Manager Charles Fe1nler, OF
the Opera House, was successful in Sc
curing an entertainment of the kind, in
Vogel & Demings MINISTRIES, for his
opening bill last night This popular
play house is newly renovated for the
coming season. 1t was comfortably
filled last night when the curtain was
Iung up, Notwithstanding the sultry
weather. The handsome setting for
the first part called forth a burst of
applause from the audience. Of course.
as far as merry making goes, Arthur
Deming was king. His monologue in
fused his hearers with spontaneous
mirth, until finally he refused a fourth
encore. John Queen was a close sec
ond in that line, especially in his rem
dition of his own and other popular
songs, and was one of the bright partic-
ularfeatures. Tommy Hays In his clever
musical trick bone solos, and his mar
Vicious selections with wine glasses, de-
lighted the audience fer a pleasant
twenty minutes. Master Georgia
Jones, the wonderful baritone, was also
a feature. Vogel & Deming's min
strels is one of the leading first class
productions OF it's kind and will un-
doubtedly attain the success it deserves
during the coming season.

Membership Increasing.

The Democrats of Center district
held another large and enthusiastic
meeting last evening at their head
quarters on South Market street.
Forty-three more names were enrolled,
making the membership one hundred
and thirty-six John Burke presented
the club with a large handsome Ameri-
can flag, and it was received with
hearty appreciation. Before adjourn
ment the organization decided 20 meet
again next Tuesday evening. 1t is like
ly that uniforms and club name will
then be selected.
The marching club will meet this
evening for the purpose OF electing Of
ficers and making special arrangements
for. the Bryan meeting. The organiza-
ton has Secured a drum corps Of
twelve, and it goes without saying that
it will be one OF the leading features OF
the Democratic professions throughout
the camDaign.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan passed
through Benwood Junction early yes
terday afternoon, en- route from Chi
cago to Cumberland, Nd, where he
spoke last night. He was greeted dur
ing his stay of about half an hour at
the Junction by about five hundred peo-
pie, mostly railroad men and Benwood
workingmen, who were cordial in their
demonstration, but their cheers only
resulted in a short speech, as Mr.. Bryan
was naturally fatigued with his Chicago
effort, and the long journey, and appre-
ciated the fact that his West Virginia
tour would demand. all his strength
during the next few days.
While in this State and at Cumber-
land Mr.. Bryan Is the guest of Colonel
John T. McGraw, and that gentleman
arrived in the city yesterday morning
about eight o'clock in his private car,
accompanied by Colonel Victor Baugh
man, editor of the Friedrich City, Md,
Citizen, and one or two others. Mr. Nc
Graw and Col. Baughman came UP to
the city, where they held short con-
sultation with a number of prominent
Democrats, and on their return to Ben
wood were accompanied by Hon. Rob-
ert Simpson Capt. Robert T. McNichol,
DR.. John A. Campbell, Gen. T. S. Riley,
Mr.. Moran, and Mr. Charles H. fancy,
of the Register, who accepted Mr.. Nc
Graw's invitation to meet Mr.. Bryan at
the Junction. When that point was
reached, Mr.. Bryan's car was attached
to the McGraw car, and the two made
up special There was brief meet
ing between the Wheeling gentlemen
and the next President, a short inter
change of courtesies, and then the spe-
cial pulled out for the East, while the
Wheeling gentlemen returned to the
city.
During yesterday arrangements were
completed with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad for half-rate excursion tickets,
one fare for the round trip, from all
points between Warrington and
Wheeling, on account of the meeting
here on Thursday night, and this will
bring large numbers of people to
Wheeling from out along the Baltimore
and Ohio People beyond Warrington
will probably buy tickets to that place,
and obtain their excursion tickets
there The other roads entering the
city will also make proper arrange
ments, and a large attendance from
Ohio points is assured. 1t seems GER
tain that, with anything like good wea-
ther, twenty thousand people will greet
Mr.. Bryan in this city, and that number
can we'll be accommodated on the wharf
and everybody can both see and hear
him, as 1t is an ideal place for the gath
ering.

RepubIican Headouarters.

teenth, there was a meeting, attended

trict Clay district was represented by

and Aft Davis acted as secretary. The
entire evening was consumed in formu-
lating plan of organization of what is
to be known as the Rough Riders Club
of Ohio County. A regiment of march
ing clubs will be formed with both reg
mental and battalion STATS all COM
plete The only thing the club needs
now is some men with which TO form

Hello Bill.

Hello Bill" which is to be presented
at the Opera House Monday and Tues
day, September 10th and 18th, is not
what the name might indicate, a rough
and tumble slap-Stlck farce, but a howl
ing funny legitimate comedy 1t deals
with a marital subject, but from a
humorous standpoint, and the pomp
and panoply of war serves as a fitting
background, to comedy Of the fastest
and most furious type. To the casual
observer there would seem nothing far
cical in our late little unpleasantnees
with Spain, but Willis Maxwell Good
hue has weaved a farcical foundation
and woven a web of curious comicah-
ties on what would seem at first glance
tragic subject, such as TO cause the
most intense laughter and leave the
auditor helpless with unmodifed mirth
after witnessing it. The engagement OF
Hello BIZ at the Opera House Is for
two nights only and those attending
can be assured of the comedy treat Of
the season.
