II is well settled fact that the
democratic politicians are designing to
deprive the colored people Of West
Virginia OF their citizenship and drive
them from the state, In the event they
get control OF the next legislature.
We all remember how all the demo-
cratic county papers all over the state
published early In the campaign the
slogan, "vote the white mans ticket;
down with the negro Some demo
cratic editor started it and the other
democratic papers fell all over them
selves In seeing who could publish II
first. AS u consequence all Of them
h that sentiment scattered abroad
In the land, before the politicians re-
allied what had been done aud there
was great CONSERVATION among these
secret plotters against the liberty OF
men. IL came home to them that
their well-guarded secret and wicked
designs had been given publicity, and
they knew not whittier TO 90, nor
what to do or shy.
A conference was called as soon
as their wits could be collected
and the knight Of the purple pencil
went to work to repair the damage so
thoughtlessly done by the party pa
pors. Sixteen persons were pfesenO.
1t was decided to pass the word along
the line for the papers to put a qui-
etus on the negro question as to dis
franchising him aud try TO prejudice
him against the republican party Did
you notice how quickly the Democratic
papers dropped their rubbish about
the white mans ticket" They

from president to constable.
The county executive committee has
had three careful and thorough polls
OF the county made. The politics OF
every voter in the county has been as
certalned and his sentiment toward
the republican ticket has been learned.
With but few exceptions the old time
republicans are in line. Many demo-
Gratis have been found who will not
only support the head of the republi-
can ticket but have expressed their In
tentlon to vote the entire ticket with
out scratch. The new element in
the county is largely republican and
cuts big figure. Noavenne to ascer-
tain the exact status Of affairs has
been left untraveledb by the committee.
And, now the Telegram takes great
pleasure in giving to the public the In
formation we have direct from the
committee, itself, on the situation.
That INFORMATION is that McKinley's
majority will roll up to 1,o25. The
state ticket will run along with the
presidential ticket and will receive a
majority of at least 936 in this county.
Every man on the county ticket will
be elected. Their maiorities Will
range from 900 to $50. These are all
conservative estimates based on the
true situation.
Chairman Dawson Of the state CON-
mittee estimates McKinley's majority
III the state at 1900. BE says the
state ticket will be electe with nearly
that majority and that the next leg
islature will be safely republican.
This being the situation every re-
publican in the county should rejoice
now and let his joy be full only when
the last good work has been done at
the polls. There must we make our
last rally. Make it grand one and all
will be well.

VICIOUS ASSAULTS BY THE NEWS.
That Sheet has ArraIgnsd Every Condition
Of Mankind.

The News through this campaign, as
the official organ OF the democratic
party, has arraigned and attacked
every condition OF mankind, without
regard to discrimination OF any sort.

Harrison county is safely republican.
Indeed, it is handsomely so. The po-
litlcal situation for the republicans
could scarcely be better. The execu-
tive committee has done hard and tel
ling work and the party workers in
every section have done their part no
bly, and well, with two or three excep-
tions whose Efforts have helped far
more than they have hurt. The can
didates, themselves, have put up a
strong and most remarkable cam
paign in speeches and electioneering.
They have been on the alert at all
times and have left no stone unturned
for party success. All these efforts
and the fact that the republican coun-
ty ticket is worthy the hearty support
of every citizen of Harrison county
have put the situation in very fine
shape and good feeling reigns in every
section of the county. The apathy
that characterized,the opening of the
campaign has entirely disappeared and
enthusiasm has been aroused toa con-
siderable extent. Noteworthy feat
3ures are that republican meetings all
over the county are more Largely at
tended than the democfatic meetings.
The discussions have been far better
and the enthusiasm and interest much
greater than in Democratic meetings.
And while all these things have been
going on, a quiet hunt has also taken
place, resulting in much good. So,

DENIED BY WI.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Minister Wu this morning conveyed to the president a letter of thanks from the Chinese emperor for the consideration shown by the United States during the Chi nese troubles, similar to those already sent Japan and Russia. Referring to the report from Pekin that the edict for the punishment of Chinese officials was forged, -the minister said the story was preposterous and should re- ceive no credence whatever.
 Russia's determination to pursue d policy coincid5nt with the other pow CTS, as announced yesterday, is regard ed by officials as the most important development and doubts are expressed a to whether this move is designed 10 insure Russian occupation of Man. churia or only another step in the pa cific tendencies beginning with the withdrawal of the Russians from Pekin. There is a strong impression here that the trend of Russia's action is toward the ultimate acquisition of Manchuria.

VICTIMS OF CHINESE
Related Stories of Slaughter of
 Missionaries.

Vancouver B. C., Oct. 1.-The Hong Kong Daily Press publishes well au- thenticated details of the massacre of the missionaries and native Christians in Shan Si. Governor Yu, who was admitted to be responsible for Mission ary Brooks murder, is declared to be directly responsible foI~ the Shan Si massacre. The story begins with the murder of Miss Whitecnurch and Miss Sewell, whose house was surrounded and burned by the Boxers, their ap- plications for protection to the local magistrate with the statement that his soldiers were for the protection of the Chinese and not for such as they. The reply being made in the presence of the mob, the crowd thereupon broke into the house and footed it. Miss White church and Miss Sewell were then seized. stripped and clubbed to death.
 Miss E. Coombs of the Baptist mis- sion was burned to death in her own house, the mob seizing her as she at tempted to escape and flinging her back into the burning buildings. All the other missionaries, numbering thirty three, fled to the mountains, but were arrested and s=nt back laden with chains and iron collars. They were driven on foot to the governors yamen, where the Boxers were allowed to tor ture them until they slowly expired.
 Governor Yu and his soldiers looked Cn while ths butchery was in progress and thirty-three heads were afterwards displayed outside the yam=n. The same day ten Roman Catholic priests and forty native Christians were sim i!arly slain. At Tai<you eight mis- sionaries were hacked to pieces and at Yan Chow Flu four American mis- sionari5s, MT. and Mrs. Price and their daughter and Mrs. Altwater and their two girls were horribly tortured be- fore they were finally stabbed to death.

T0MBSTONE'S MINES
MT. F. M. Murphy is Confident of
 Their Future.

The Tucson Citizen presents the fol- lowing interview with Mir. Frank NJ. Murphy of Prescott:
 MT. Frank M. Murphy, president of the Santa Fe. Prescott x Phoenix rail- read; MT. F. B. Gage. president of the Congress Gold Mining company. and Superintendent Staunton of the Con gress mine, spent a few hours today in Tucson. They have be- n to Tombstone where they went to examine the Grand Central workings, and there is good ground for believing tha: this great mine will be reCpsned. although MT. Murphy when interviewed by the Git izen, said that he did not wish to talk on the subject.
 MT. Murphy sa! Id that there never was a brighter outlook for mining than today, and he included Tombstone in the statement, a camp whose down. fall is pointed to by the democrats as an illustration of the effect of political crime. MT. Murphy said that he met many of his old friends in Tombstone. some who are democrats and depIore the shutting down of the mines, and he believed they were alive to the fact that they never ha6 Q better chance to
 
 open to them. They have lived in the old camp during the years of idleness. they look upon the empty buildings and think of the old days when every thing was hustle, and in their little world some of them include the whole country and believe that because Tombstone is idle the whole country is in the same condition. As d matter of fact Tombstone is the Cnly idle camp of any importance in Arizona today. And with the election Of a republican dlegate to congress, the attainment of statehood and that greater confidence which will come with it, MT. Murphy says that there will be $40 invested then in mining where $1 is invested today. ..: 3lN
 And in Arizona ct this time there Is more money being invested than was ever known in it's history.
 If the Tombstone mines are opened up again over a million dollars will be expended and there is no doubt of the permanency of the camp or ce revived"
