CLAIMS WEST VIRGINIA.
General oNIey Says Bryan VIII dave
n Plurality of If0o0

General Oxley, OF West Virginia, who
Is on duty at Democratic headquarters
who has had supervision of the organi-
zation of Democratic clubs in that State.
has. within the past few days, received
reports from these organiza tions, num-
beTing 256, and representing a total niem-
bership Of nearly 80. .000 voters. and from
a tabulated statement just prepared by
Mr.. Oxley. the State is shown to be Demo-
cratic by upward of Loco.
General Oxley regards this information
as very reliable for two reasons: IN the
first place. these club organizations, rep
resenting almost every locality in the
State are in position to ascertain the SEN
tiInent of the voters and in tho next
place. when sending his request fer this
information he asked that impartial re-
ports be sent in
These reports from the club orgariza-
tions further show that the Republican
managers for that State are distributing
an almost unlimited amount OF money ii
each locality, but the indioat tioBs are that
a very large part of this doodle viii be
sunk deep down into the pockets of those
in whose hands it is being placed.
1t is said that so far it seems nothing
like the results of the use OF money hoped
for and expected by the Republican man
ayers have been in evidence, and it seems
to be the impression of those in position
to know that nothing can stem the tide of
grand Democratic victory in the little
mountain State of West Virginia

CALL TO AMERICAN WOMEN.
Urged to Protest Against MckinIey's
PoIygamous Policy

CHICAGO, Nov. Mrs. Helen NJ.
Cougar, one of the most prominent Of these
identified with women's organizations il
the United States, has issued the following
Address to the women of the United
States:
a great national political contest is at
hand On tie 9th of November the men
citizens Of the United States and the
women of four States are to render their
verdict at the ballot box upon national
issues affecting the veal or woe Of this
great nation. There are moral issues
pressed to the consideration of the people
that the women OF the nation cannot ig-
nore
William Mckinley, the incumbent Of
the Presidential chair, is asking for re-
election, and consequent endorsement OF
his official actions for the last three and
one-half years. We know what he will
do in the future by what he has done IN
the past. Believing that he has made Sc
rious assaults upon the purity, peace, and
prosperity of Christian home life of our
people. I ask that all women. regardless
of party work, pray. and vote for his re-
tirement from Office
In the SuIu Treaty he has not only
disregarded the written laws OF the land
by violating the Constitution, but he has,
with amazing immortality, raised the Amer
lean flag to protect polygamy and con-
cubinage; he compels the taxpayers to
pay a regular stipend for the support of
the master of the harem and his retinue
of conCubines and slaves. He has raised
the flag again over the slave market that
exists in the most hideous form, even
young captive girls being sold for Hcen-
tious purposes to the most depraved that
may buy.
Because of these unworthy act of
President McKinIey-and, if he is re-elect-
ed, it means the endorsement Of these Off
cial crimesI hereby urge all women to
hold mass meetings III churches or public
halls the Sabbath before election inviting
all Christian people. regardless of party
or creed. 10 attend and discuss the ques-
ton Shall the Christian home Of the
United States endorse polygamy and hu-
man slavery in the closing hours of the
nineteenth century,? Have copies of the
Sulu Treaty printed and scattered broad
cast, that the people may not err through
ignorance of its wicked provisions. Let
such an overwhelming rebuke be admin
istered to the President that no man will
ever dare again 10 offend the (iecencies of
the Christian home and the rights Of hu-
man freedom under the protection of the
flag, as he has done. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty and the Christian

ers Effect a Comnromise.


WILKESBARRE. Pa. Nov 2.-The trou-
bic at the Lehigh Valley collieries was
settled today and all are working with
full force. The laborers and miners at
the Dorrance and Prospect co1lieries came
to a satisfactory settlement with General
Superintendent Lathrop. He said he did
not care how much topping they put on
the cars in the mines, but he insisted
there should be six inches when the cars
reached the breaker He also agreed to
pay them semi-monthly and to give the
men reduction of SIS cents on each case
of ffameless powder.
The drivers are allowed half an hour
extra fer dinner and other small griev-
anees are to be settled. The committee
which called upon Mr.. Lathrop reported
all the arrangements satisfactory and or
dered the men to return to work
the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company
and the Laurel Run Coal Company's col
liery also returned to work this morning
The companies refused to reduce the
topping but agreed to pay the men
every two weeks and they decided to go
back to work
a prominent union man said this morn
ing that since the strike had been won,
the Hungarian 1aborers have become al
most unbearable. They imagine they can
do as they please and that the company
dare not protest. They are causing their
leaders much annoyance.

Mrs Hartsock stated the object of the

yentfon. The attending superintendent
of departments and chairnlen of commit
tees reported that number of business
men had been approached on the subject
of financial aid, and already numerous
good sized pledges of assistance had been
made The impression seems to be grow
ing that the Women's National organiza-
ton, representing so good cause, de-
served as much assistance as is usually
freely extended to mems national organi-
cations, holding annual sessions at the
Capital.
1t was decided TO publish the list of
subscribers as soon as the money was re-
eeived by the District Treasurer, Mrs T.
A. Williams.
The W. c. T. U. National Convention
will convene in Washington on November

CHICAGO, Nov. 2-This is one OF the
busiest days of the campaign for Mr..
Bryan. In spite of his arduous programme
last night, the Democratic standard-bearer
arose early this morning, as it had been
decided late yesterday that he should ad-
dress the Henry George Democrats in Han
del Hall at 10 o'clock. He finished his
breakfast shortly after and spent half
an hour receiving calls from Democratic
leaders. after which he was hurried away
TO the meeting in Handel Hall.
The great throng present paid a demon
strative tribute to Mr.. Bryan and added
to the heartiness OF his Chicago welcome,
if that were possible. The Nebraskan dis
cussed the campaign issues forcibly, and
the applause was frequent.
The Handel Hall meeting was followed
by a great open-air workingmen's rally
on the lake front, where Mr.. Bryan de-
llvered stirring address, and which dem
onstrated that the Iaboring population is
ready to vote for a Democratic Admins
tration Between the Henry George Demo-
Gratis meeting and that on the lake front,
Mr. Bryan had little time-less than If
teen minutes-which he spent in rest at
the Auditorium.
During the morning Mr.. Bryan spent a
few moments at Democratic headquar
ters in consultation with the National
Committee
He has a long days work ahead, being
scheduled to make ten more speeches be-
fore 11:45 o'clock tonight, the concluding
= IL
where an enormous throng is expected.
Mr Eryan saws that. from his observa-
tions, Indiana is as safely Democratic as
Missouri. and this opinion is based upon
what he saw and heard during his latest
tour in that State
Mr. Bryan will conclude his campaign
here tomorrow night and then start on
his journey toward Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan's remarkable endurance ex-
cites comment on all sides. The Nebras-
kan is closing the campaign with Hercu-
lean vigor and seems almost immune
from fatigue. The people remark that he
seems like a man inspired.
The impression he has made thus far
in Chicago has excited the fears of the
Hanna manag gers to the utfncst ard they
are discussing all manner of devices 10
try and eounteract the influence of the
peoples champion, whose eloQuence and
logic carry the campaign audiences by
storm Mr.. Bryan's vigorous canvass in
the Illinois metropolis has driven the
Hanna cohorts to their wits end, and pre-
dictions are being freely made that they
will resort to desperate methods in order
to prevent, if possible, the stampede to
the Democratic candidate.
