A VETERAN
REPUBLICAN,
INTERVIEWED.
Hon. John q. Atkinson, a Delegate
to tho Fremont Convention of
1856, Talks Interestingly.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TODAY
Stands for Prosperity, Americanism,
FREQ Schools and Protection
to American Labor,

One of the most interesting figures
brought to Wheeling yesterday by the
Roosevelt Day. exercises was Hon,
John H. Atkinson, of New Cumberland
West Virginia's only surviving dele
gate to the First Republican national
convention, held In 1856. and which
named as Its presidential candidate the
gallant and chivalrous General John C,
Fremont, THE Pathfinder" Mr.. At
klnson was suitably honored by being
named first vice president OF the Roose-
welt meeting at the state fair grounds.
When seen last night, he said he had
been delighted with his days cxperien-
ces. Comparing the infant days of Re-
publlcanIsm with conditions to-day, Mr..
Atkinson said:
AS l witnessed the immense crowd
that listened to Governor Roosevelt. I
could not but contrast the conditions Of
to-day with the convention Of two hum
drcd that assembled In one OF the halls
In your city to nominate an electoral
ticket for Fremont in 1866, then hope
less minority. now the dominating par
ty OF America.
From the formation Of the state in
1863. to 1870. the Republican party had
control. but amending our statute law.
in 1865, SO as to enfranchisc those who
had gone into rebellion, the Democratic
party came into power with a majority
OF 10000 votes. Outnumbcred but not
disheartened, we have made an average
gain OF 1000 q year, until in 1888 we
elected General Goff as governor by q
majority OF over 200, but Democratic
legislature counted him out. In 1896
we gave Mckinley majority OF over
II, 900, which should be increased In No.
vember to 5000.
"The Republican party has ever been
one of principle and progress. Coming
into power In 1861 as the champion Of
liberty and union, she accepted the re-
sponsibilities of the rebellion. and de-
termined that oil men were created
with certain inalienable rights should
not have been written In vain.
Victory came to the Union cause
when 10000 colored men with silent
tongue, and clcnched teeth and steady
eye and we'll poised bayonet helped us
to this great consumption. and again
they have been found side by side with
our white soldier in the war with
Spain and In the Philippines.
The Republican party must never
abandon her organization until every
right is secured to the colorcd man. as
to the white.
Let our party stand as she has in the
past. for free schools and free speech;
for honest money and protection to
American labor. for equal rights to all,
and she will continue to guide the at
fairs Of the state, and keep our coun-
try as she Is to-day, the acknowledged
leader Of the world in Christianity, civil
lizatlon and humanity.

general feeling that a reaction was

by the principle that the week before
a national election is bad time to be
long on stocks, owing to the probable
ity of alarmist reports becoming cur
rent Thus the market ignored various

either sold to realize or put out short
lines. The resumption of work among
the miners in the anthracite district
was one favorable factor, putting an

on many widely varied industries, and
settling the persistent uncertainty as
to the final outcome of the controversy.

the wheat strength being affected by
larger country acceptances and a

Provisions were moderately active
and prices were firm on hog receipts,
under the estimate and in sympathy
with wheat. The demand for lard by
shorts was the feature. Cash business
was moderate. January lard sold be-
