pie Of the Philippines recognize the
authority of the United States, and
are willing to submit to it. He follow
ed this with an equally remarkable
assertion that If the United States es-
tablished protectorate over the ISL
ands, and allowed the people to gov
ern themselves, they would inevitably
became involved with other nations,
and cause the United States to go to
war with European powers. Mr.. Smith
was discretely silent about Sulu, how
ever, and of course his remarks about
the American protectorate over the
Philippines is not applicable to the
American protectorate over Sulu,
where Mckinley recognizes polygamy
and human slavery.
Mr. Smith said that all the great
powers are struggling for extension
of territory in order to give new mar
kets. 1t appeared that he was just
about to admit that the administration
was actuated by the same motive in
its Philippine policy, but he switched
off abruptly with the remark that
America was happily not required to
engage in such shrugged, as the Phil
ippines had been given to the United
States almost Providentially, and fur
Their new markets were provided
through the open door in China. He
gave Mckinley all the credit for the
condition of affairs in China, but neg
lected to praise him for his patriotism
and wisdom displayed in the treaty
with the Sultan of Sulu.

"THE OFFICIAL RECORD

Gives the Lie to the Inte1Iigencer's
Assertion That Democratic County
Board of Commissioners Did Turn
Down Republican Election OFF,
GERS.
There was quite commotion in local
Republican circles Wednesday over
the publication in the Register of the
fact that Boss James Kelsey Hall had
departed very noticeably from the
truth in his address to the audience of
friends at Wheeling Park Casino,
last Saturday night, upon which occa-
sion he asserted, in the course of an
appeal to an audience of perhaps two
thousand people to vote the straight
Republican ticket, that, in 1892, the
Democratic Board of Commissioners
had refused to appoint two Republican
commissioners of election in those dis
tricts represented by Republican mem
bers of the Board.
The exposition of the falsity of the
statement created considerable con-
sternation among the ringsters, and
there was great scurrying around.
After a conference there was a rush
for the Office of the Board of Commits
sioners, and an overhauling of the
records. An inspection of the record
for 1892 showed that the Register was
right, and that Mr.. Hall, the expert

POSTMASTER General Chas. Emory
Smith entertained an audience OF Re
nublicans at the Grand Opera House
last night with very pretty little
defamation on the full dinner pail. He
talked for two hours, and his audience
left in possession of some new facts
and figures about the greatness OF their
country, with their feelings wrought up
to a patriotic pitch by rhetorical trib-
nfes 10 Old Glory, and with a sort OF
vegne idea that the speaker had en-
Ieayored in some way to connect Nc
Kinley with all this. From an orator
zeal standpoint, Smith was success;
from an argumentative standpoint, he
was failure. He adopted what APP
pears 10 be the method of all the Re-
publican stumpers: when he came TO
knotty point he waved the nag ana
appealed to the galleries, in the hope
that his listeners would not notice his
sins of omission.
The first half of the Postmaster Gen
erals speech was devoted to the full
dinner pail; the latter part to weak
defense of the imperialistlc policy OF
the administration. Not a word about
the trusts. In discussing McKinleys
policy in the Philippines, not even the
well rounded sentences about hauling
down the flag could stir the audience
UP to the point of enthusiasm. 1t was
a very weak defense, and it fell very
fiat.
The meeting was almost as large as
that which was addressed by DR..
Sample last week There was frequent
applause, particularly when the speak
erglowingly eulogized Lincoln, and then
skillfully led UP to a climax in a trib-
ute to Mckinley. The meeting was
called to order early, and the speaker
concluded his talk at about ten O'Clock.
The speaker referred to Fremont as
the pathfinder, nom de plume CIV
en- to him in his campaign for the
Presidency, and give Mckinley the
title of great pathfinder of the world"
but said nothing about the awful price
in American blood and American mon
ey, paid to maintain the title.
He rang the changes on the calamity
cry, and told how all the good people
were on the side of Mckinley four
years ago, and all the bad-a surpris-
ingly large number-for Bryan. He
said the danger was worse this year,
because the fall would be greater in
the event of Bryans election, mas
much as times are so much better. He
asserted that the people did not eat as
much during Democratic times as dur
ing the last three years, because the
per capita consumption of wheat was
less. OF course the increase in popu-
iation could not account for the differ
ence. Mr.. Smiths picture of the aw-
full things that are certain to come
with Bryan's election, was such as to
strike terror to the hearts of his audi

Board of Commissioners and they gave
us but one Republican judge in every cleo
ton precinct of the county, no matter
whether the Commissioner was q Repub-
lcan or Democrat.
The ring crowd up at the Public
Building had no need to go to so much
trouble. If they had examined the
records of Council, they would have
found that since 1888, with a Republi-
can majority in both Branches, two
Republicans were appointed in every
city election district to one Demo
crat, without regard to whether the
ward was represented by Democrats
or Republicans. Possibly, however,
this record wouldn't have suited the
ringsters.

creed politician and longtime Boss,
was wrong. Then the record for 1890
proved barren Of results, and
the ring-leaders were in de-
spair. James K. was in hole,
and had, apparently, been con-
victed of uttering an untruth, as he did
in fact. Finally somebody suggested
that they go further back, and after
some trouble a dust-covered record
for 1S68-twelve years ago-was I'M
earthed, and therein it was found
that the Board of Commissioners had
actually appointed two Democratic
and one Republican judge at the pre-
cincts throughout the county, said
Beard having but three Republican
members, so but three districts could
have been affected.
Here was James K. Halls vindica-
ton. His assertion that the Demo-
Gratis hadn't given Republicans fair
treatment in 1892 was false, but after
going back four years farther a case
was found which apparently let
Jeems out of the hole, and the Intel
ligencer remarked with great glee:
1.-THE Register has the nerve to deny the
claim that in the past Democratic boards
of county commissioners did not do what
Mr.. James X. Hall asserted in his brief
talk of last Saturday-that Democratic
boards declined to give the Republicans
the majority of the election judges in dis
tricts represented in the board by Repub-
| leans"
Now mark the falsity of this Intel
|ligencer assertion written with the dual
intention of deceiving the people and
of letting Mr.. Hall down easy. Mr.. Hall
didn't say what the Intelligencer says
he said. What he said was this:
LET me recall a few facts to you, and
I want to impress them upon you. Do
you remember how it was in 1892? The
Democrats were then in control of the

On Saturday evening, September 22d,
one of the greatest oil wells ever drilled was
drilled into the sand down on Sand Fork
Creek, in Lewis County, w. Va. The well
started off flowing 1000 barrels each day,
and is still flowing $500 barrels each day.
The well produced over $780, 900 in first 90
days. Within 80 hours after the well began
flowing the promoters or organizers of the
Sand Fork Oil & Gas Co. were on the ground
securing leases. They secured 1900 acres
of choice property, well located and now very
valuable.
A corporation has been formed under the
name of the Sand Fork Oil & Gas Co. by w.
L. RUSSELL prominent in oil circles; |. G. Dill
lon and Chas. ~ Hancher, of the firm of
Dillon & Hancher, the well known jewelers.
of Wheeling; Arson H. Russell, of Akron,
Ohio, and Dr. w. W. McMullen, of Dillon
vale, Ohio. These gentlemen constitute the
Board of Directors, with w. L. Russell pres
dent, |. G. Dillon treasurer, and Arson H.
Russell secretary. The promoters and organ
izers of the company believe this to be one
of the greatest opportunities to make great
deal of money from a small investment in
Oil Property since the DAYS of Pit Hole and Oil City.
They want to give their friends and acqualntances
chance to make paying investment They feel conf
dent the company will prove financial success that
the stock will advance above par The territory is well
located in a new oil country that bids fair to rival the
great oil fields Of Pennsylvania. They believe the de-
velopeent of this property will prove to be one OF the
most valuable oil propertlesln the country

The Cotton Outl ook.

Except ia Florida, Texas and Okla
homa where cotton is doing perhaps as
well as usual considering the vast ter
ritory and diversity Of climate and soil
embraced. the prospects have not been
bettered during the past week and cot
toa fields with few exceptions are foul
with grass and weeds over the entire
belt east Of the Mississippi. Many
fields in Tennessee, Alabama and South
Carolina have been aba ndoned. To
what extent the productive acreage has
been affected cannot now be deter
mined, but low estimate of aban-
doned fields equals the increase in acre
age planted. The plants in general are
not fruiting we'll, and in places are
shedding, but it is probable that the
recent more favorable weather has ap-
piled natures remedy for those COM
plants. Within the past few days
moderate rains have fallen over nearly
the whole of Texas, supplying the rain
fall needed to keep the plants in Wig
orous, growing and fruitipg condition.
1t has been many years since the crop
as whole presented such variety Of
condition, ranging from as fine as could
be wished to the very poorest.
