Campaign Opened in Jefferson.

The active opening of the Democratic
campaign in Jefferson county was made
last Saturday, when Hon. Stephen
Brundidge, member of Congress
from Arkansas. and Hon. A. F. Lever.
member of Congress from South Caro-
lina addressed the voters in the court
house at this place. A large audience
including number of ladies, greeted the
distinguished speakers, and the Charles
Town Concert Band discoursed excellent
music, The speakers We're introduced
by Col. Forrest w. Brown, in his usua,
happy manner, and ably discussed the
prominent issues of the day. The insln-
cerity of the Republicans in regard to the
trusts, which have been fostered and
built up under their rule,was ventilated.
as also the questions of the tariff In rela-
ton to the trusts. Republican extraya-
gance, etc. Thatthe tariff is tax, and every
cent taken from the people over and
above the necessary expenses of govern
ment economically administered is rob-
berry, was especially emphasized, and the
line strictly drawn between the interests
of the people, as represented by Hon
John T. McGraw and the Democratic
party, and the great corporate interests.
as represented by Hon. A. G. Dayton
and the Republican party. Mr., Hanna,
it was said, may stand pat, but a re-
united Democracy, with hosts of indie
pendent Republicans, will effect such a
result as will make him feel very bad
about the first Tuesday in November next.

The Pending Election Its Vital linz
porfance.

AS the day OF election draws near the
Importance of the event and its far-reach-
ing possibilities are dawning with tre-
mendous effect upon the public con-
science. Slowly but surely the signs of the
times point with unerring finger to a So
cial and political change. No man can
prophesy the form it may assume. Some
who are alive to the vital force and nat
ural laws that govern the destiny Of men
and nations understand the nature and
spirit of the coming change SO near at
hand. They also know that the result of
the election will be a great factor in Civ
ing shape and form to the future policies
that will govern our affairs, They be-
lieve as well as vast majority of the
American people do, that the time has
come when the people and not the Trusts
shall govern the affairs of the nation
They know that the power of these soul
less combinations has been acquir I'd by
and through the policies of the Repub-
lican party. and now. having grown to
such colossal proportions, defy the gov
eminent and spurn the party and power
that gave them birth. They also know
that the machinery of the Republican
party has been the instrument of giving
us government of the Trusts, for the
Trusts and by the Trusts. The impor-
lance of political change is manifest to
all who think, and read. and understand.
And the Importance of this change is so
apparent that few will remain at home
on election day. 1t is the solemn duty
of every voter to register his disapproval
at the ballot box on election day. A dis
approval that will say to organized greed,
:" Mankind has created wealth and HUI
mainly shall control it.

A member of the law firm of McGraw

ton with George c. Sturgiss and other
local attorneys in anticipation of the con-
test between that railroad and the Balti-
more & Ohio, over the route surveyed
down Cheat river, to Point Marion.
THE Baltimore & Ohio has recently
purchased the Guffey survey in its effort
to block the line of the Greenbrier, Mon

Roads are anxious to acquire this route
through West Virginia to Pittsburg.
1.-The injunction granted by Judge

One On The Wild Man.

Some mischievous boys played joke
on the wild man, while the latter's mana
ger was announcing to crowd that the
monster had only recently been captured
in the jungles of Africa and that he was
as wild and ferocious as the lions and
tigers of the forest. Discovering a hole
in one of the boards under the wild man S
cage, boy sharpened stick and crawl
ing under the platform, jabbed through
the hole. The point of the stick evident
ly struck the wild man in some tender
spot, for.with howl. he jumped to his
feet and began to swear in the most ap-
proved style. This made the manager
angry and be started after the boys, but
they were soon lost in the crowd.

There Is more Catarrh in this sec ion of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to DC
incurabe. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local NEEDLES. and by constantly falling Ia
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure.

Secretary of State Dawson, who, as
Chairman of the Republican State Com.
mittee. has been engrossed, for some time
in ''harmonizing' the factional fights in
his party throughout the State, must feel
that his candidates are in desperate
straits, says the Hampshire Review, in a
lengthy article which we cannot give en-
tire,) as he has begun levying assessments
on the employees of all the State Institu-
tons, men and women alike.
We beg, says the Review, to call the at
tention of Governor White to the matter
and to inquire whether this is done with
with his knowledge and consent? Does
he believe it right that female EMPLOYEES
in the various State Institutions, especial
ly in the Educational Institutions of the
State, should be held up and made to con.
tribute from their meager salaries, funds
to help elect members of Congress?
What do the members of the Board of
Regents of these Institutions, the Review
adds, think of this business? DO they ap-
prove of it? Does Governor White, for
whom wehave the highest regard, approve
of it? Do the people of the State, espe-
cially of this county, endorse it, or will
they resent it at the polls.

If it is true, as Senator Allison declares,
that free trade would help the Trusts,
why is it that the Trusts are opposed to
free trader And why is it that they al
ways put up the coin to prevent revision
ofthetariff? Probably Senator Hanna or
Senator Allison can enlighten the coun-
try on this seeming paradox.
