Riot Amonu Strikers.

New York, October 12.-A number of persons were Injured and windows in the Hotel Knickerbocker were broken last night in riot that followed an attack made on Albert Lind, a strike-b breaking chauffeur employed by the New York Taxicab company. A crowd of 500 per- sons, sympathlzers with the striking chauffeurs, hurled stones, sticks and other missiles at the chauffeur, who took refuge in doorway of the big hotel. In the fusilade the taxicab was wrecked and three windows of the main dining room of the hotel were shattered. The guests of the Knickerbocker fled from the room in a panic. A call was sent for the reserves and soon half a dozen patrol wagons ar rived with 50 policemen. It took half an hour to disperse the mob.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 12.-Spot cotton was steady today at an adya nee of 1-16c. Middling S5sc; sales on the spot were 1900 bales; to arrive, 14O0
 Cotton futures opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points on favorable Liverpool cables, advices to the effect that the Manchester strike would soon be settled and that the situation in east ern Europe was more peaceful. Unsea- sonably cold weather in the cotton belt also helped values. In the late session telegrams from southern spot markets told of a higher price for spots at many points notably at Savannah and this put prices up again when they were falling off under bear pressure At the high est of the day the active positions stood Il to 15 points higher than Saturdays closing. On the closing the tone was easy and the active positions showed a net gain of to Il points.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York. October 12.-(Special)-The market shows great steadiness and some demand at the better prices. General business is dull, some large selling orders were executed during the forenoon, but the possibility of an early strike settle ment gave a better tone, which was well maintained. Fluctuations were small port receipts large, telegrams from abroad re- ported Liverpool under the influence of a probable settlement and the fear of frosts, but added that the condition of trade was unsatisfactory and the trade not willing to follow the improvement. A later dispatch stated there was no pros pect of the masters accepting operatives offer. The masters meet tomorrow. Piece poods market dull.

Webster is LOYAL.

That the Webster county delega-
ton to the state Republican conven-
ton was appreciative of It's duty as
laid down by the mass convention
which delegated 1t to come to Char
neston, says the Charleston Mail, was
shown by the fair mindedness which
characterized its deliberations in the
convention.
AS one OF the members OF the dele
cation said:
Eve we're instructed to vote for
Arnold C. Scherr for governor, but
We were not instructed to recognize
any 'rumpA or irregular convention,
and, of course. we being regular Re-
publicans, and not the kind who vote
against our party principles and
against the good of the party, which
We adore even above our own per-
sonal welfare, we stayed with the
real Republicans and we voted for
Scherr, as we were instructed to do,
but the fact of the matter is, that
since the Scherr people bolted we are
all for Swisher and will stay by him
till the last minute on the day of the
election. We people of Webster are
not bolters-we are good Republi-
cans, the kind who do things and who
succeed in political endeavors."

scherr is Deserted.

Some doubling Thomases in this
section, inclined to believe what the
boilers brought home with them
about the proceedings at Charleston,
were not inclined to believe that the
Scherr ticket had been repudiated so
quickly by several OF the nominees
on that ticket and most all the Scherr
delegations.
At the time the Telegram noted
the fact that several of the nominees
of the rump convntion disclaimed all
responsibility for that convention, re-
pudiated it and pledged themselves
to support the nominees Of the regu-
lar contention whether they were
nominated at the latter convention.
Among those who personally appear
ed on, the. platform and repudiated
the Boiling convention were Thomas
C. Miller and John T. Harris. James
X. Hall, through friend and the
man who placed him in nomination
at the regular convention also pledged
himself to support the nominees OF
the regular convention. The law
partner of A. R. Stallings, when he
placed Stallings in nomination, did
the same thing for Mr.. Stallings.
With this four of the nominees of the
Scherr ticket were withdrawn and but
two were left, Scherr himself and
Snodgrass for state treasurer. Meth
er of these two were before the regu-
lar convention, yet Scherr received a
number Of votes from delegations in
structed for him, not because they
approved his course, but because they
stated that they proposed to be true
to the trust reposed in them.
Along this line the Huntington
Herald neatly and truthfully de-
scribes the actual situation as fol-
lows:
THE results have been most en-
couraging to the loyal Republicans of
West Virginia. The attempt made
by Auditor Scherr and few dis
gruntled ex-Democrats and Republi-
cans OF questionable ambitions, to
ruin the party in the state. at least
temporarily, has fallen fiat failure.
A legion of Republicans in the state
who believed Mr.. Scherr entitled to
the office Of governor. and capable of
filling it, are thoroughly Disguised
with the tactics he has employed dur
ing the last few days and which
marks the close of his political career
in West Virginia. Although at his
conference he had himself nominat-
ed for governor, the loyal delegates
in the state convention, who had been
instructed by their constituents to
vote for Mr. Scherr. cast their votes

as directed not because. as explicitly
stated BY them in the convention. that
II was case OF personal preference
after the developments, but because
they wanted to return to their re-
speetiye counties and be in position
to say that they had lived up to I'M
to Republican principles always"
most remarkable political battles ever
fought out on West Virginia soil. and
the Republican party presents to the
people Of the state, ticket above all
criticism and one creditable in every
detail to the principles which 1t rep
reseInts."

Harmer,s Change Of Faith.

"
The action Of Harvey W. Harmer
In openly eliminating himself from
the Republican party, was. in our
judgment. somewhat hasty. 1t would
be somewhat difficult for Mr.. Har-
mer to offer any reasonable excuse
for leaving the party, other than the
fact that the members of that party
have manifested a desire not to keep
him perpeually in Office. The party
has been somewhat generous to Mr..
Harmer in the past; but other young
Republicans In Harrison county in
sisted on recognition, and Mr.. Har-
mer was, by the majority of the vot-
-; of his party, required to temper
arily step aside and give the other
boys chance for short time. This,
1t seems to us, was only reasonable,
but Mr.. Harmer did not take well to
the proposition and at once began to
sulk, and. during the last three city
campaigns, lent his assistance to the
opposition party, twice by playing in
to the hands of the Democrats as a
candidate for mayor, himself. and the
third time by openly supporting Mr..
Wood, the Democratic candidate,
against Mr.. Lynch, the Republican
nominee, who. was the unanimous
choice Of his party for the place, in
an open, fair primary. Therefore,
the step taken by Mr.. Harmer at
Charleston, in openly boiling from
the party, was but elimination Of
the course of conduct which he has
pursued politically for few years.
Considered from every standpoint, 1t
is doubtless apparent that the step
at Charleston, in openly leaving the
Republican party and aligning him
self with another organization Is not
entirely without its merits. 1t Is
certainly more manly on the part Of
Mr.. Harmer to fight the Republican
party openly, from without, than to
have remained in the organization
and secretly knitted its candidates and
policies. Many of the friends of Mr..
Harmer will doubtless think that he
has made a mistake in his action;
but this Is a free country and Mr..
Harmer. or any other Republican dis
contented with the party, had and has
the right to leave 1t.
We hope Mr.. Harmer, in his new
party, will be able to acquire and
hold Office to his hearts content, but
our fears are much to the contrary,
as the boilers who make up the new
organization consist largely of men
who have held office until they have
demonstrated their unfitness for fur
Their public service, or whose hnfitness
was SO apparent that they were never
entrusted with positions of public
trust. In the company in which Mr..
Harmer now finds himself we hope
he will be treated generously, and
that he may long enjoy his new asso-
Citations. We cannot say that the
Republican party of Harrison county
views his departure with any great
regret, because of his conduct in
knitting the nominees of his party at
recent elections.
