The meetings in this county this week of W.
f. Raymond, the democrotic nominee for congress
in this district, have been such miserable failures
and so humiliating to the local democratic leaders
that by democratic solicitation and in compassion
the Telegram has concluded to make only bare
reference to them. We have no desire whatever
to offend and, therefore, refrain from reporting
the meetings. doing SO merely a favor to the
local leaders, whose chagrin and discontinue are
all they can bear now.

The democracy is not pleased with any COM
parison made between the administrations Of the

sheriff. 1t calls TO mind too well when our demo-
cratic officers made it their pleasure 10 be out of

cast your eye around you will see the full signif
canoe of the nsinuation at this time and locate the

Bryan made the silver question the main issue
in this campaign by his despotc dictation OF its
embodiment in the democratic platform. The re-
publican party made that statement in the opening
of the campaign. Bryan attempted to evade it, by
inventing false Indictment against the republican
party about imperialism but now here hecomes
with free silver flowing from his lips just as it was
in 1896. His own words confirm the claim made
by the republican party and his own hands have
unveiled the mask people of honest heart and pur-
pose would not permit him to wear longer.

Bryan's jumping from one paramount issue"
so.called to another emphasizes his desperation as
well as INSTABILITY of principle Shortly after his
trip through West Virginia, he abandoned the cry
of imperialism taking up the trusts as the
sparamount ISSUE" and now word comes that he
has actually declared in no uncertain terms, that
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to is
the real issue That's what he said in 1885, but to
his own sorrow and that of his party it proved la
mentally different for him, and most fortunate for
the nation. Grossly false in those prophecies and
having yainly tired to confuse the minds of the
people on prophecies equally false, he has beaten
an pglorious retreat from the sound logic in which
his yaparies have been SO wildly and incontro.

ton. Let him alone, he is joined unto his idol

Probably the meanest, most unfair and mis-
leading act Of the present campaign in this state
was that of the Weston Democrat, the democratic
organ of Lewis county, in publishing column
denunciatory article against the republican party
and accrediting it to the Telegram. The article IN
question was expressly intended for West Virginia
readers, and leaves the impression of its having
come from this paper, as no other paper in West
Virginia bears the name Telegram" II taken
from some other paper out side of West Virginia
called the Telegram, we trust the Democratwlll be
honorable enough to correct the impression made.
If not taken from some other paper by that name
and If purposely done, it devolves upon US to de-
Hnounce the acton of the Democrat as unbecoming
paper of honest and honorable purpose, and uu-
worthy of the fraternity's recognition.

The labor leaders positively said they
did not fear 4 break In the ranks Of the
anthracite coal strikers. they were
nevertheless pleased to learn that the
10 per cent advance granted by the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron
Company In the Schuylkill valley was
totally ignored by the striking mine
workers to-day. It was predicted that
many of the strikers would return to
work under the belief that the 10 per
cent increase would be the limit of the
operators concessions. but the unanimi-
ty OF the men in deciding to stand out
for further advance caused many re-
marks OF surprise. was expected
IN some quarters that to-day would
bring turning point In the strike,
but nothing came to the surface that
would lead TO any indication OF the
strike nearing an end. Since the OPP

That he knows more about the sltua-

knows anything about 1t.
The strike situation In the Lehigh

Democratic state ticket, to-day, was a
great victory for the Republicans, who
had the best of the crowd. notwlth-
standing the Democrats had imported
VirgInians In order to swell their num-

Holt consumed his opening time In q
discussion Of imperialism alone. which
fell as fiat as 4 school girls essay: he
tried to picture the horrors Of the en-
pire, but all to no effect. In fact. it
was the tamest exposition of the sub
ject ever heard by our people.
White literally used Holt up on impe-
rialism and had time to spare to dis
cuss other issues. He laid down pro-
position after proposition for Holt to
take up, but he utterly failed to answer
any of them m his rctoinder. Whtta
discussed free silver, trusts and pros
perity, but Holt was afraid Of the fire
and failed to follow. aYs
Holt denied that prosperity is preva-
lent, and said good times are the act Of
God. Democrats are greatly chagrined
over the poor showing made by their
candidate.
