Mr.. Jack Reed, the Island barber,
tells a good story on Mike Gribble, an
old time Benwood mill boiler. 1t was
during the campaign of 1887, and about
the time of the Cleveland banner cpl
sode. Gov. Foraker. of Ohio. and Gov.
Wilson, of our own State, were guests
at the Mcclure. There was to be some
speechifying from the Mcclure House
balcony at night, and a great gathering
assembled on Market street. Foraker
had disbursed n of his fire alarm
harangues. Gov. Wilson followed in a
most %perperiod answers. To say the
remarks on both sides were quite per-
sonal and bitter is to put it mildly.
Indeed the uninitiated would think that
the two Governors wouldn't speak as
they passed by. Reed, who was a
great admirer of Wilson said to Gubble
after the meeting was over, Let us go
inside and see Wilson" Agreed"
says Mike. So inside they went, and,
much to their surprise, found the two
Governors amicably discussing the
merits of a cocktail. Reed introduced
Gribble to Wilson, after which the
lated remarked: Why. l thought this
man (pointing to Foraker) and your
self were mortal enemies" So we are"
says Wilson, politically, but friends
socially. l enjoy a drink with him as
much as l would with you" Turning
on his heel, Gribble remarked: well
then, I've no further use for either of
you"

Squire w. w. Rogers is ~rlghteouSly
indignant about the treatment he is
receiving in Centre district at the
hands of machine leaders. The squire
was suggested, with eight others, as
delegates to the State convention at
Parkersburg. Seven are to be elected.
IT is we'll understood that Rogers is
against James X. Hall and all other
candidates who are identified with the
Elkins machine. 1t is also understood
that the party leaders are anxious to
send a solid Hall delegation to Park
ersburg. Squire Rogers charges that
the names are not to be printed on the
ticket in the order in which they were
suggested, the anti-ring candidates be-
ing placed at the bottom, the scheme
being to count the first w in the
event that no names are scratched by
the voter. This is the order in which
the suggestions were made, accord
ing to a memorandum made ION the
spot" by Rogers: n. Z. Whitaker,
Chas. H. ,Henning, Phil Bachman,
Robert Williams, Handy, W. w. Rog-
ers, E. r. Metzner, Medick, John Cum
minis. Squire Rogers alleges that the
names were not furnished to Chair
man Hornish by the secretary of the
meeting, but by Charles H. Henning,
and that Mr.. Henning changed them
about in the interest of the candidacy
of Hall. placing Rogers and William
son, both anti-Hall men, at the boz
tom. He alleges that Mr.. William
sons name is left off entirely, and that
when Mr.. Williamson yesterday re-
quested Chairman Hornish to rectify
the mistake he was informed that the
copy had gone to the printers and it
was too late.
Il met Henning to-day and asked
him why the juggling had been prac-
ticed," said the squire, and he told
me that either he or | would have to
be defeated. Now l accept his chal-
lenge. and want the voters of Center
district to understand that it is a fight
between the ring and The people,"
The Hall men have been trying to
induce Rogers to withdraw, and he
says he has. been informed that unless
he does he will be defeated at the
general election.

Yesterday was Refreshment Day.
If there was a thirsty Republican in
the city last night he was either bur
dened with a superabundance OF mod
esty or he was acting in accordance
with the counsel of his physician.
Beer was here, there and every
where. The bibulous element of the
party was saturated with it. Candi-
dates loosened purse strings, and in
many public halls and club houses
there was a wetting of whistles until
you couldn't rest. 1t was bargain day
at the booze mill. and the stalwart
''grafters" all secured cheap jags.
If the candidates tried to dodge the
issue they failed. Some of them es-
tabished headquarters at the pubic
building, and there was a steady
stream of workers receiving final in
structions for to-day, and club CD rep
~resentatives eager for the last whack
at the purse of the candidate. Con-
siderable money was placed in circula-
ton.
Meanwhile throughout the city there
was manifested an intense interest,
and nearly everybody picked a win
ming slate. Some were willing to back
their judgment, too, and while no
large wagers are reported, the amount
of money which will change hands on
the result of to-day's primary cleo
ton will reach a considerable sum in
the aggregate. There was some bet
ting ON district fights, and several
wagers were laid on the sheriffalty,
the Taylor men appearing to be the
more eager to back their favorite.
Captain Travis was in a good humor
throughout the day, however, and said
to a Register reporter that he felt very
confident. 81 felt dubious on the eve
of the primary election four years
ago." he said, "but this time it is diff
ferent, although l expect the vote to
be close"

many sensational rumors were in cir
culation last night Some Of them
charged that a great deal OF trading
would be done. 1t was also reported
that a large number of strange ne
groes have been brought to the city,
and that an attempt will be made to
vote them to-day in the interest of a
certain candidate.
