uEMoCRATic COUNTY TICKER,
ONE REPUBLICAN, GAME.

Evidence is. rapidly accommodating
that there is a systematic programme
in full operation by the Republicans
OF this State, aided and abetted by the
National Committee, to colonize West
Virginia, in the interest of the Repub-
lican ticket. This particular snake
ought to be scotched at once and Demo-
Gratis throughout the State and every
fair minded citizen, who believes that
the lawful and legitimate voters of a
State are alone competent to give ex-
preston to the political opinions of its
citizens, should combine to thwart this
dodge undertaken and to De carried out
by INSCRIPTIONS political bosses, abund-
antly supplied with money, in the hope
of achieving success impossible under
normal conditions. vote anybody and
everybody" is the order, as it was
right here in Wheeling at the Republic
can primaries in 1896 and at the subse-
quent general election. The then edi-
tor OF the Wheeling Intelligencer gave
that order verbally on one occasion,
within the hearing of a Register re-
porter, at the poll at Fourteenth and
Market streets AS result of this ad-
vice men voted dozen times and open

would be ushered into well furnished

Now, it Is alleged that this pretended

not minister at all, but simply an I'M

to work, and who had adopted this
method of acquiring little cash dur

business with pleasure in seeing how
easily a good many folks could be
fooled.
The prevailing question among young
couples in Northern Illinois now IS,
are we married or are we not, and sew

1T is a glorious victory" said the Re-
publican managers in Vermont. 1T is
the greatest majority we ever had except
in 1885,
at is a magnificent triumph shout the
men who are rafting around in Tom
Reeds shoes in Maine. 1t breaks all rec
ords except that of 1885,"
That except contains the whole trouble
President Mckinley was barely elected in
1896. He got enormous majorities in GER
tain conspicuous States, and that obscur-
ed the fact that the election in general
was very close. A little more than 10000
votes, properly distributes. would haVe
changed the result. "A, mere fraction of
the Republican losses and the Democratic
gains reported from Maine and Vermont
would have sent Bryan into the White
House by a handsome majority.
The Republican chairman in Vermont
explained the figures there by saying that
,, many Democrats who had bolted Bryan
|. in 1896 had returned to their party this
year, and that many Republicans had fail
ed to vote. AS an explanation that covers
the ground, but as Republican consolation
it leaves much to be desired. If many for
merly wandering Democrats have return
ed to their party this year in Vermont,
and many Republicans have failed to vote,
the same thing may happen in other
States. 1t certainly has happened in
Maine in an increased degree. And Mr..
Mckinley cannot afford to have it happen
in any degree at all. If the drift against
him sets with one-fifth the force in States
like Indiana and Ohio that it has in YER
mont and Maine, he is lost And what
Republican can advance any plausible
reason why it win not?

STABILITY OF WAGES.

In his very long bill of disclaimer,
filed before the American people last
Monday morning, President Mckinley
manifested, among other things,
wonderful solicitude for the wage
Garner, and said in the course of his
remarks:
THE best service which can be rendered
TO labor is TO afford il an opportunity for
steady and remunerative employment and
give II every encouragement for advance
ment The policy that subserves this end
is the true American policy"
Of course, the idea is to have the
public infer that the Republican policy
is the only genuine thing by which
wage-earners can benefit and profit,
but, as the Chicago Chronicle remarks,
sit so happens that labor is becoming
painfully aware that Republican at
tempts to substitute statute law for
natural law and to make employment
both steady and remunerative by arti-
fetal stimulation has proved abortlve.
There are several cases in point One
is the coal operatives, nearly one hun
dred and fifty thousand of whom are
going on a strike for justice and fair
ness while living under the alleged
benifcent Mckinley rule. Still another
is the cotton operatives of New Eng
land. who are threatened with ten
per cent. reduction of wages, and of
whom the Investor, non-partisan. says:
"I'he threatened reduction has been
temporarily averted by a large order
placed by NJ. c. D. Borden, who came
to the rescue and adds: I'VE believe,
however, the reduction is bound to
come in time" 1t appears thai in this
case it was Mr. Borden, and not Mr.
Mckinley, who saved the operatives
from a cut in wages. The glass work
men. the tin workers. the iron and
steel employees and others have recent
ly felt some of the beneficial effects
of Republican prosperity" and they
are weighing the blessings of a pro-
teCtive tariff tax against their own
emoluments. The result of this study
does not fill the heart of the working
man with delight. He is beginning to
see that the Republican policy of high
taxation, of trust creation, and of high
prices for the necessaries of life car,
ries no benefit to the workman. And
when the workman sees it fully he'll
upset the whole system

is natural, but the people, threatened with
the loss of their cherished free institu-

The people who did this sort of
thing were as guilty of robbery as were
the negroes who cut off the fingers of
dead women that they might secure

acted properly when he confiscated the
stocks of goods held by these thrifty
merchants and fixed a normal schedule
of prices. People who make or attempt
to make money out of the misfortunes
of others deserve little consideration.
