Special to the Register
HINTON w. Va. August 27.-To-day
the campaign in Summers county was
opened in earnest by the Hon. John T.
McGraw, David e. Johnston and Nat
Ward Fitzgerald Messrs. McGraw and
Johnston had been advertised for some
time. but it had been announced for
only a few days that Mr.. Fitzgerald
would also be here. This, in addition
to the widespread interest which has
already been manifested in this section,
brought into town to-day the largest
crowd that has ever been in the city
since the campaign of SO. If numbers
and enthusiasm is any indication of the
results of the November election, the
Democrats will carry the county by
largely increased majorities. The DEM
ocratic outlook here is very encourag-
ing. as there is the strongest county
ticket in the field that could have pos
sibly been secured, and there is not
particle of dissention or a single sulk-
ing Democrat in the county, and all the
party men are laboring earnestly for
ideas of government.
The Elkins and Hannah forces are
pursuing their usual tactics. and it is
generally understood thai the sinews
of war have been placed in this county
as well as in Monroe. but it is as seed
sown in stony ground.
Throughout the hours of the discus
sion OF the issues the crowd paid the
strictest attention and often loudly APP
plauded the orators; and especially did
they become demonstrative when their
fellow countyman. James II. Miller,
appeared On the stand, and whenever
he was referred to, as he is highly re-
spected by those IN all parties as the
man of the highest integrity and abil-
ity.
The Republicans had Hon. A. B.
White. Hon. Joseph Gaines, and Hon.
Charley Caldwell here. but their crowd
was as a mere handful compared With
ehat which listened TO the Democratic
orators.

tors. Wolcotts speech was an extend
eel one and was laudatory history

lican party for the past four years
and an enthusiastic eulogy of Presi-
dent Mckinley. He was frequently
cheered. The temporary officers of the
convention were then installed, the

Minnesota, and the roll of states was
called for members of the commit
tees--resolutions, credentials, rules,
etc.-after which the convention adj
journed for the day.
Grand Ovation to Roosevelt
All the leaders were cheered as they
made their appearance, but Theodore

of the most interest, receiving a ire
mendous ovation, which was repeated
as he rose to his feet when the band
started ''The Star-Spangled Banner"

Ponies Run Away with Monkeys.

Beloit, Wis, June 23.-During the
parade of circus a steam pile driver
frightened an eight-horse team of pom
les attached to a cage Of monkeys and
they ran away. The ponies attached to
the cage of performing dogs followed
suit and both teams dashed away,
overturning the cages. There was a
spilling of monkeys and dogs. The
horses on some of the other cages, en-
couraged by the manner in which the
little ponies got away. also started on
the run. Fortunately none of the wild
animals got loose and no one was in
jured. 1t required several hours work
for the trainers to capture the mon
KEYS.
