HUNTINGTON, w. Va. October 49,
The Roosevelt train arrived here ct
noon to-day Roosevelt Immediately
joined a parade whichrnumbered by
actual count, including the Roosevelt
party, two hundred and fifty-six. The
parade was a complete failure. Only
twenty-six Rough Riders were in it.
Roosevelt spoke fifteen minutes and
was followed by Curtis H. Guild, of
Boston
The Chesapeake & Ohio shops and
American Car & Foundry Company
(trusD, and many smaller concerns
closed down during the speaking hours.
The speaking and parade had been
extensively advertised throughout this
part of West Virginia and Southern
Ohio Yet, Notwithstanding all that,
Rough Rider embellishments and mon
ey inducements, the crowd did not ex-
coed, on a liberal estimate. over FIVE
thousand people, and not one thousand
of that number from outside the city.
Lack of enthusiasm was particularly
noticed, although the politicians made
desperate efforts to enthuse the crowd.
Only two or three times did the Rough
Rider get any cheers, and they were
very faint.
Roosevelt was complete disappoint-
ment. People had been led to believe
that he was very great man, but his
common appearance and more common
speech disappointed them.
Republicans freely admit that he did
not come up to their expectations.
The Democrats are gleeful over the
predicament in which the Republicans
have placed themselves. They claim
that nothing could have happened to
do the Democratic cause more good
than the coming of Roosevelt.
Trusts are particularly obnoxious to
the laboring men of Huntington, yet
Roosevelt never mentioned trusts dur
ing his speech. This failure of New
York's Governor is commented on and
the Republicans feel chagrined over the
incident.
Roosevelts throat seemed TO be IN
very bad condition.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, October 10.
This has been, politically speaking, the
greatest day in the history of this city
for years. Early trains and steamers
brought hundreds Of people to hear
Governor Roosevelt.
Governor Roosevelt and party reach
ed here at 3:45 p. m, and were met at
the depot by an escort. Governor At
Kinson was travelling with Governor
Roosevelt and they went direct to the
"Wigwam," which was so crowded that
it required strong efforts to press
through the immediate throng to the
speakers stand Governor Roosevelt
spoke for twenty minutes.
Soon after he started speaking, a por-
ton of the roof of the wigwam gave
way, caused by the great strain upon
it. No one was hurt and quiet was soon
restored by Governor Atkinson.
Governor Roosevelt began his tour
of this State early this morning. his
train departing from Parkersburg over
the Ohio River railroad at a. m. The
Republican organization of the State
was represented on board the train by
VIM. NJ. 0. Dawson. C. H. Livingston,
secretary of Senator Elkins. was also
on board. The first stop was at Raw
enswood and the second at Mason City.
At each place good sized audiences
heard brief speeches from the rear plat
form Of the train. Governor Roose-
welt spoke in his accustomed strain,
urging Republicans to help maintain
prosperity and ridiculing the Democrat
ic cry of imperialism.

ELOQUENT Figures.

Il There is one thing alone that ought
to halt the attack of the, Bryan party
on the prosperity Of the country and
that is the record set forth In the bulle-
/ tin issued by the bureau OF statistics Of
the treasury department., giving figures
of the foreign commerce OF this coun-
! try for the fiscal year which ended June
80. The statement goes to show what
immense interests are imperiiled by the
Bryan propaganda which seeks to un-
dermlne the stability and security OF
commercial calculations ami the flnan-
cial honor of the country. Six years
ago the total foreign commerce OF the
country amounted, In round numbers,
I to- 81, 500 100000, while this year It has
grown to 2,225,OOO,OoO In round nuns
bers. We do not believe there Is an
other country On the face OF the globe
that can show such an advances In ma
terlal interests In the history of all: time
as that disclosed by the above figures
given for the United States. Yet Bryan
and his imperial cohorts claim that the
gold standard Is ruinous.
! The Increase in exports furnishes the
most specific reasons for the continual.
.tion7of Republican rule, gained as they
were. in large measure, through the
benefcent workings of the Dlngley
tariff law. Let any doubling voter
glance at the following table of the ex-
cess of exports over imports since 1895
and be convinced Sof the truth Of the
foregoing assertion. The figures; OIL
cIal, are as follows:

A Trust Helpine BRYAN.

The recent advance In the price OF

this has been done to aid Bryan. Why

included a sugar schedule that had been
written by Secretary Carlisle at the
dictation of Mr.. Havemeyer. the presi-
dent OF the trust. Speaking OF this
matter the Cleveland Leader very
polRtedly says:
That turiff bill was most favorable to
the trust. because II increased the pro-
lection on refined sugar to 4G07 per
cent nj valorem, us against the protcc-
ton OF 1913 per cent afforded by the
Mckinley law. Under the provisions OF
the Wilson- German law, for which
bryan voted, the sugar trust was cna-
bled to mOnopoliZe almost completely

gar In the United States. When the
Republicans returned to power they
passed the DinEley bill. In which the
differcntlal duty on refined sugar was
reduced very muterially--thc reduction

from the difrercntial fixed by the WI
BON Gorman law. The favorable con I.

schedule OF the Wilsou-,iorman law,

Railroad Subscription Defeated.


The ordinance submitted by the board
OF commissioners subscribing 100000 to
the Uniontown. Waynesburg and West
Virginia railroad, and voted on yester-
day, was overwhelmingly defeated.
This Is not SO surprising as the eX-
tremely light vote polled. This feature
of the election shows n startling indif-
ference on the part OF the taxpayers
with such a large sum at stake. There
is no doubt that the large majority OF
the votes pofied yesterday we're cast by
payers. with 4 large percentage paying
no taxes ut all. The InteIligencer Is not
quarrellng with those who voted
against the ratification of The ordl-
nance. but thinks 1t extremely danger
Gus that such u large proportion Of. the
voters OF the city refrained from ex-
pressing themselves on such a vital
proposition, and that they were too In.
different to vote either yes or mo-"
The defeat of the subscription was
practically conceded by Its friends some
days ago, but that does not excuse the
dangerous indifference displayed by the
taxpayers. The Intelligencer believes
that the ordinance would have been
more strongly supported had smaller
sum been asked for. but there were
other elements that. contributed to Its
defeat, the prejudice of class OF clti-
zens that was successfully worked
upon. 1t viii be grevious matter with

her advancement are contemplated.
