. IT WAS A FROST.

Candidate Raymond Fails to Enthuse
Largo Assemblage"John o."
Comes to the Rescue, However, and
Saves the Day in Gallant Fashion.
The Democratic mass meeting ut the
corner Of Fifteenth and Chapline
streets. was called to order by County
Chairman Handlan Immediately upon
the conclusion of the street demonstra-
ton, and Mr.. James B. fancy was an
nounced as chairman. amidst n silence
that was overpowering. Around the
stand were gathered about 1000 people.
Chairman fancy introduced as the
first speaker OF the evening the substi-
tute Democratic candidate for Congress.
W. z. Raymond, Of BraXton county.
Again the s,ill night was torn'up with a
wonderful outbreak of-silence. The
crowd was the most orderly that has as
sembled this campaign; not more than
twice during the entire speech. which
lasted forty-fve minutes. did the crowd
allow itself to break out into. the ''un-
earthly yells"t and rude applause" that
mark all Republican mass meetings this
year. Except for the incessant tittering
Of young couples on the outskirts of the
crowd. 1t might have been q model
school room on enlarged proportions.
In q nutshell this was the situation:
Half of the audience were, Republicans
and, not there to cheer Democratic
speeches, and the other half cudgelled
their brains In vain for something to
enthuse over Not until Mr.. Raymond
had given up In despair and Chairman
fancy had introduced the only John
o. did the crowd wake up and show
that Popocracy Is not quite political
corpse in the city OF Wheeling, county
of Ohio and state of West Virginia.
But Is was a. narrow escape, and last
nights showdown indicates that the
last spark OF life will be waited away
in some old direction on the Tuesday
after the first Monday of next month.
1t was awful proscy matter that
Mr.. Raymond intlcten upon his audi
cnce. and when It wasn't dull 1t was
ridiculous or ignorant. For instance.
he said. what has the Republican
party done for labor herc??" You know
more than l do" he had the grace to
add and nobody will challenge the ad-
mission.
There is n power back of the Nc
Kinley administration. and it is; not
the general public" shouted Mr.. Hay
mond, and he proceeded to lnllict that
worn-out boyle OF imperialism" upon
the crowd. Consent of the governed"
was also given whirl, but nothing was
said Of the dIsfranchisement of the COL
ored man In some southern states.

Addresses the Voters of the North

Clear and convincing Manner.
AS a svote-maker the able and elo-
.auent speech OF the Hon. C. II. Litch-
man, of New York. former secretary OF
the Knights OF Labor. at the North;
End last night. was veritable gem.
The speaker held an audience of 1000
persons in the open and uncomfortably

tclear and convincing exposition OF the
Issues Of the campaign Mr.. Itch
man Is an earnest and thoughtful talk
er. and there is sincerity about him
that convinces enc of his honesty and

his whole heart was In the work, and
he. made deep and lasting impress

!. Preceding the speaking, which took
place from stand at the corner OF
, Fourth and Main streets. there was u
demonstration. In which the Rough RI

jor George W. Otto: the Travis Cadets
and the Six Footers took part. 1t was
the best showing OF the campaign thus
Y far, and the parade was enthusiastic

The meeting was called to order by
Edward Shafer. who introduced Ed:
ward Rogers as chairman OF the meet
Ing. He regretted the lateness OF the
hour, and said he would not make any
extended remarks. He introduced Hon.
James Campbell, of Pittsburgh, as the
first speaker Of the evening.
Mr.. Campbell said he was glad to
address so large an audience. This is
one OF the most important campaigns
we have ever had. 1t is not necessary
to so back very far to tell what the
policies OF the two great parties are.
The Democrats told US that II they

We all know what the conditions of

we all know that prosperity from '97
down to the present day has been

an unwonted increase In exports, and

WAGES ARE HIGHER
The Labor Unions Show Greatly In
creased Earnings.
Omciai Reports from Fifty-Nine
Trades In the Last Three Years
All Have Been visited by
General Prosperity.

The workingman of to-day who
does his own thinking has had the
proof presented to him that il is to
his best interests to stand by the
platform and principles of the repub-
lican party. The fact that there have
been strikes during this period of
prosperity no doubt affords great
opportunity for calamity bowling to
the democrats, but they always fail
to point out that strikes during a re-
publican administration are for more
wages, and that strikes during a
democratic administration are against
lower wages, and that labor invaria-
bly, loses. The American wage-earner
wants the present good times and
prosperity to continue indefinitely,
and he will not vote this good thing
away for any bubble of promises
which only means disturbance of
their industrial conditions, with less
work lower wages, idleness. soup
houses, free bread and the poorhouse.
Wages paid in the United States
are from two to four times greater
than the wages paid to the CORE
spending class of labor in the free
trade countries of the world. The
