BRYAN'S FARM.

W. ], Bryan owns a small farm
near Lincoln, Neb., and the re.
publicans in an effort to convince
the farmers that their prosperity
is due to the. wise administration
of their party headed by Nc
Kinley, have gone so far as to
say that Mr.. Bryan has made
more money out Of his oat crop
raised on his farm the present
year than the farm cost him. At
Cumberland, Nd, the other day
the democratic leader had this to
say about it: "My entire farm
contains only thirty acres and
cost me nearly $4,000, although
the land is not worth that much
today. Instead Of having 150
acres in oats, | have only five
acres in oats, and the oats have
not yet been threshed. They will
hardly yield forty bushels to the
acre, Oats instead Of being 30
cents a bushel in Nebraska are
worth q cents in Chicago. My
oat crop will not bring me over
$40. The republican papers use
my farm to illustrate the pros
porous condition Of the farmer.
If my experience is a fair illus
tration Of what is going on in the
country it is not strange that the
republican party is losing votes
among the agricultural class"

Vermont held its state election

Vermont held its state election
last week, AS was expected the
state was carried by the repub-
licans, but only by a majority of
$1,000, which is great reduction
when compared with former ma
jorities. The result in Vermont
may be taken as an indication
that many republicans there are
not content with the work of the
present administration. There
are many dissatisfied republicans
everywhere.

They are gradually improving
along the line of veracity, and
we heartily congratulate them

The people have elected three
railroad commissioners. 1t is the
duty of the next legislature to
put this office upon trial, and if it
is found that no benefits have
been received from IL by Cne peo-
pie it should be abolished. The
RECORD has contended that this
office is an unnecessary cost to
the people, and it is of that opin-
ion still.

Sharp County record., 1900-09-14

The result of the election in
Sharp county leads us to believe
that the democratic party may as
well not take the trouble to hold
primary and nominate a coun-
ty ticket. If democrats, those
who 60 into the primary and
thereby virtually pledge them
selves to support the ticket, will
not support the nominees, but
will scratch and some even vote
for the republicans, then it seems
to us that it would be the thing
to do to leave a wide open field
to all candidates and decide tho
matter ut the September election,
as Randolph and one or two other
counties do. This would be the
means, too, Of bringing out such
a vote as would entitle the coun-
ty 70 herecognition she deserves
in democratic councils.

IN DROVES
Former Mckinley V0ters il,
West VirginiG Coming
To Bryan.

Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 81
is not alone distinguished Re-
publican leaders like Senator
Wellington, former Governor
Boutelle and General Henderson
who have openly repudiated and
denounced President Mckinley
for his weakness and false inter-
probation of the American spirit;
not alone gold Democrats like
Carl Schurz and Bourke Cochran
and members of Mr.. Cleveland's s
Cabinet like Richard Olney,
Judge Harmon, Hoke Smith,
Wilson S. Bissell and William L.
Wilson who are now supporting
Mr.. Bryan in his patriotic effort
to save the nation from the Nc
Kinley- Hanna blight, but here in
West Virginia, in Kanawha Coun-
ty, 1900 persons who voted for
Mr.. Mckinley in '96 have signed
affidavits binding themselves
jointly to vote for Mr.. Bryan this
year.
The change from Mckinley to
Bryan in West Virginia is clearly
seen in this action. The Repub-
lican managers are alarmed and
Senators Elkins and Scott have
been colonizing the State with
negroes from Virginia and the
Carolinas. The proofs Of this
plan are so strong that the Dem
ocratic State Committee has en-
ployed a force Of detectives to
gather evidence to be used in
prosecuting the illegal voters.
In spite Of Mr.. Hanna's enor-
nous fund, West Virginia only
gave Mckinley a plurality of
II, ,437 in 1896. A change of 1926
votes from one side to the other
in each Of the fifty-fiv counties
will give the six electoral votes Of
West Virginia 10 MIR. Bryan.
Twelve hundred former Nc
Kinley voters in the county alone
have signed affidavits declaring
their purpose to support the Dem
ocratic candidate.
This tells its own story. Near
ly all the Gold Democrats are
back in the party and Mr.. Bry-
ans strength is constantly in.

Strikes and Spares.

Y OCAL interest has been thorough
ly aroused in bowling, and the
matches played on the various al
leys are attended by throngs of spec
tatOrs who crowd the quarters and
signify their enthusiasm in the most
hearty manner, there being enough
roofing done to remind one of base
ball game at which the home team is
In the lead. Besides the match games
played there is a great deal of indi-
vidual bowling done. and some fine
scores are made. The best recent
score was that made by Charles Riehl,
on the Elk alleys last Saturday night,
when he made 263 by rolling nine
strikes and two spares.
The weeks league bowling was made
up of close although rather low roll
Ing. The Backus team defeated for
the second time the Bicycle club and
also proved victorious in the match
with the West End Wheelmen's club
Of Wilkes-Barre. The highest score of
the week was made in the game with
the Bicycle club by Coons, of the
Backus team, he scoring 1877. Wednes-
day the Bicycle clubs second team
downed the Elk "ponies" by PIG pins,

New York teams, in case the National
league circuit Is reduced to eight clubs,
in which event the Oriole management
would probably withdraw from the
league and dispose of it's players. Dame
Rumor has it that several players
have already been negotiated for, and
that McGraw, Robinson, McGinnity,
Sheckard, DeMontreville and Kitson
are all destined to become Giants. In
case they do New York will be repre-
sented by one Of the fastest teams in
the league and will be able to put in
an exceedingly strong bid for the PEN
nant.

cago outfielder is going to do this

Among the Pugs.

THE SIGNING of articles by Tom
Sharkey and Rob Fitzsimmons for
a fight in the near future has
aroused much speculation. and it is
expected that the fight will prove one
of the fiercest and hardest fought seen
in good, long time. There will be
big purse in it for the winner, and
there is little doubt but that both men
will put up all the fight in them. Shar.
key is flushed with n long string Of
recent victories, while Fitzsimmons,
although he has not been in the ring
for some time, Is still possessed of all
his old time strength and will certain

sailor.

contestants will both be as black as y
