SUAIMERSVILLE, w. Va, August 16.
Yesterday was a great day Tor the
Democracy in this county. The an
nouncement that Judge Holt and Col.
St Clair would speak brought out one
OF the largest crowds ever assembled in
Nicholas county. Shortly before the
time set for speaking, Mr.. White, the
Republican gubernatorial candidate.
came in. The Democrats challenged
him for joint discussion with Holt,
and after some delay he accepted.
Judge Holt opened in a speech of one
hour, conceded by every one to be a
rare effort. His arguments were abso-
lutely unanswerable. Indeed Nj.
White did not attempt to answer
them, and followed with practically
the same speech he made at Charles
ton. In fact it was the same, except
that he did not mention the Kidd case
Mr.. Holt burnt tar on White for
thirty minues, concluding the debate.
Gen. St Clair and Hon. John D. Al
derson each made unusually strong adj
dresses. The entire crowd remained
to the end. The Democrats tonight
are jubilant over the incidents Of the
day and much good for the party has
been accomplished. No one disputes
that Judge Holt bested White on every

4 Few Questions.

To the Editor Of the Register
Sir: | would like to ask the Intel
ligencer a few questions concerning an
editorial which appeared in its coluns
August 14th.
If Webster Davis was such bad
Republican. and such an ungrateful
wretch, who then is responsible for his
holding a position under the Mckinley
administration?
In stirring up the Republican Cath
olics against Webster Davis by assert
ing that he is an A P. A, might not
the A. P. A. people remember that Ar
mold Scherr is native of Swi1zec-
land? You did not give all the prin-
ciples OF the A. p A, did you?
Is not the course of Mr. Davis rather
TO be admired. for it appears that he is
not asking for any political Office. in
fact having resigned one? You say the
Democrats say very little when asked
how they like the new convert What
are the Republicans saying and doing
with their latest arrival-Judge Bran
non? Did they not welcome even G.
R. Door with outstretched arms when
he came into the fold? Do not the
bosses galvanize them with a political
office the first opportunity? Is it good
politics to try to keep Republican
voters from attending Democratic
meetings, if they are so radically
wrong?
Would like you 10 answer these few
questions fairly and squarely. a. / am
first, an A. P. A., second, a Republican.

WASHINGTON August 16.--The
Chinese minister this morning re-
ceived a belated cable despatch from
Minister Conger, in the American
cipher, addressed to the State De-
partment. He delivered it to Acting
Secretary Adee few minutes after y
o'clock.
The department also has received
ar appeal from Ii Hung Chang, the
Chinese peace envoy, to have the al
lied army stop their advance at Tung
Chow, at which place, he says, they
will be met by high officials of the
Chinese government, who will be en-
powered to negotiate an armistice.
This is the response to the demands
of our government in its communi-
cation to Ii Hung Chang.
The Appear
was promptly communicated TO the
President. who had arrived in Wash
ington at an early hour. The Chi
nese minister also brought another
long cipher cable message from Min
lister Conger. which was transmitted
to the State Department and as soon
as deciphered, laid before the Presi-
dent. The Conger message was the
first one from the minister showing
that that he had received the de-
spatches sent to him from Washington.
Il gave the names Of the marines who
were killed in defending the legation,
but otherwise did not materially
change the situation. These oommun-
ications together with Admiral
Remeys despatch to the Navy Depart
ment. formed the main features Of the
cabinet delibarArjon which followed
soon after.
Ii Hung Chang's appeal for halt
and the declination OF the United
States, formed the
Most Important Feature
of the day The appeal OF the veneer
able Chinese statesman was almost
pathetic in tone, showing the desperate
straits to which China had been
driven. He stated that the allied
force were nearing Tung Chow. He
had therefore memoralized the imper-
ial government to name an envoy, with
" hCSObldlE al AlhlSAitf|
with the military commanders in the
field. That the powers should aecede
to this course was most earnestly re-
quested, and Earl Ii asked that the
several powers telegraph their respec-
tive commanders instructions that
after arriving at Tung Chow with
their forces, they stop their further
advance on Pekin. The language of
the message showed
The Greatest SoIicitude
that the United States and the other
powers accept this proposition, as Ii
Hung Chang declared that a further
advance would shake the foundation
of the Chinese empire, beside causing
the deepest alarm TO the Emperor and
Empress Dowager, aud calamities to
the people.
