"A AGLORIOUS
VICTORY in
THIS STATE
Is Predicted by James K. Hall, Of the
Republican State Committee,
Who Is In Town.
REPUBLICANS ARE AROUSED
And Putting Up Great Fight.
General Apathy Has Been
Sent to the Rear. 4,

Secretary. James K. Hall, OF the Re-
publican state committee, arrived in the
city last night to remain over Sunday
with his family. When seen last night
Mr.. Hall spoke confidently Of the COM
Ing election, and can see nothing but u
greater Republican victory than has
ever been achieved in this state. AT
tho same time he warns Republicans TO
beware OF over-conndence. and counsels
them to work hard for the ticket from
top to bottom from now until election
night.
I've have parted from our friend,
General Apathy" said Mr.. Hall. enthu-
slustically. This week we have had
125 speeches, not including meetings ad-
dressed by local speakers, and our re-
ports state that without exception they
were largely attended and enthusiastic.
1t is clearly evident that the Republl-
cans of West Virginia are very much
alive and determined to drive the DEM
ocracy OF the face OF the political map.
From reports coming from every
county of the state, we are convinced
that we will carry West Virginia by
majority largely Increased over that Of
1896, giving us both branches OF the
state legislature by good majoritles, thus
insurlng the continuance Of two Repub-
lican United States senators from the
little Mountain state. But this does not
mean that there may be a let-up at any
point; we must continue our best efforts
without cessation until the votes are
safely In the ballot boxes. Remember.
the Democrats are not dead, though
they seem quiet set OF folks Just at
this time. On the contrary. they are
making an awful fight. for they realize
that II they are beaten this election,
with an approaching redistrictlng OF the
state. they will have lost their last
chance.
I'm the southern and interior counties
( they are experiencing degree OF pros
perlty never before witnessed in West
Virginia. The people have never before
received such high wages for their
labor. and one constantly sees adver-
tlsements for more men in the lumber
and mining Industries.
= ''It is very seldom we hear that man
who voted for Mckinley and Prosperity
in 1896 will not vote for Mckinley and
Continued Prosperity in 1900. On the
other hand we know of hundreds, even
thousands, who voted for Bryan in 1896.
but are satisfied with present condi-
tlons, and will vote for Mr.. Mckinley
next month.
IT nm greatly pleased to hear such ex-
cellent reports from Ohio county. am
convinced you will roll up majority
exceeding that OF 1896 when 100 was
the mark attained. can see that You
are making an aggressive campaign
hero that cannot help having its decis-
I've effect. am especially interested in
the contest for the sheriffalty. and be-
lieve DR.. Taylor will be elected by q
good majority. There Is not q single
reason why he should not have us large
n majority as any candidate on the
ticket"

cerns-American Book Company
Placed Under Restraint.

PARKERsBURG. W. Va. Oct. 5.-An
Injunction granted in the federal court
to-day by Judge jackson, 1t is alleged,
prevents the formation Of q trust. It

Berllner Gramophone Companies from
uniting under the name of the Consoll-
dated Talking Machine Company Of
,Amcricn.
Seamon alleges that he has a contract
with the BerlIner Company to purchase
Its entire output and to have exclu-
slve control of It: that he has made
purchases of over half n million dollars
and has ordered many hundred mo-
chimes. which the Berllner Company re-
fuses to supply, because the United
States company has obtained control OF

Judge Jackson also granted an In
junction restraining the American Book
Company from selling Harvey's English
grammar to school boards. or attempt

ton Is q new phase OF the old school

= In 1895, the legislature adopted Hyde's
language lessons. published by Heath,
for use In nll schools except the high
schools. and Harvey's grammar to be
used In the latter.
Heath brought suit to determine his
rights, and Judge Jackson. In an elab-;
orate opinion, oyerruled a demurrer Of
the'defendants and the case was 10 have
been tried at Martinsburg this month.
Heath now claims that the trust is en-
deavoring to sell its books to the coun-
try school boards In violation OF the
rights OF the plaintiff. In granting the
injunction. the court declined to set a
date for the hearing. because the main
case was to come up within a few days.
