West Virginia. In announcing his re-
nuneiltion OF the Democratic nominees
Dr. Carpenter said; Il see nothing in

for class OF Democrats in whom l have
NO faith. He is unknown. The men
who recommended him are distrussed.
West Virginia Is the worst corporation
ridden State in the Union. and the in

William McLain. of Ottumwa. Ia.
who says he has been voting the Demo-
cratic ticket FOR seventy years. has an
nouneed his intention OF supporting Pres

Parker Too Uncsrtaia.
W. f. Williams. OF Boonville, Ind.
who has been active in Democratic coun-
ellis heretofore. will use his influence in
support Of the Republican national tick
ct. In declaring his intentions Mr.. Viii
lams places the welfare OF himself and
his neighbors above a party name after
this fashion: There has been an in
crease OF 100 per cent in the value OF
lands in Warrick county in the last
eight years. IL used to be while Cleve-
land was President that lands sold for
from So to $40 an acre. Now the same
farms bring $50 an acre. Parker is an
uncertain quantity. The Democrats have
no issue. but it is inevitable they would
tinker with the tariff and bring abou,
business stagnation."
