Meeting MAY BE HAD
TUESDAY, SEPT. 29
Citizens Are Indignant Over the De-
lay as the Matter Should Have Been
Settled Many Weeks Ago-Hume
Has No Excuse to Make.

The City Council tomorrow night
will not go into the merits or de-
merits of the case of the Cumberland
Telephone Company versus the pa
irons of that company in this city.
Mr.. Leland Hume, of the Cumber-
land Telephone Company, has written
to Mayor Donald that he will not be
able to get here tomorrow night and
the conference which was scheduled
for this meeting of the council has
been postponed until next Tuesday
night, September 29.
The program was to have the matter
thoroughly gone over in the council
meeting and two members, constitut-
ing a majority Of the state railroad
commission, had signified their inten-
tion of being present to hear the ar
guments and to take cognizance of
the discrimination in local rates
charged against the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company.
Just why Mr.. Leland Hume is un-
able to be here tomorrow night is not
stated, neither does it appear why he
has to be- present at the conference.
At any rate his inability to be on hand
has caused delay in the investigation
and has given the Cumberland people
more time in which to weave a chain
of defense.

had no train, and the usual bouquet was
absent. The bridesmaids wore big poke
bonnets of white satin with long lace
nets thrown back over the crown and
ribbon strings tied under their chins.
Their dresses were of white spotted

round nosegays of yiolets and lilies. Each

sung on her wrist and the gold and
enamel badges they wore were those oe
the Grenadier Guards. The pages had
coats and leggings in exact copy of the

Some Democratic newspapers are
playing up campaign fakes. 1t is
characteristic OF them. but just lit
tie surprising that they have begun
so soon this year. The latest is about
a Lincoln Republican party being
formed. OF course, they went as far
away from home as possible to lay
the scene, but that did them no
good, as those there and acquainted
with the actual situation are in posi-
ton to and do expose such visions.
as the following from the Charleston
Mail shows:
That was an interesting and well
written story appearing In the
Wheeling Register yesterday under a
Huntington date line to the effect
that a Lincoln Republican party will
be formed and place a ticket in the
field. in West Notwithstanding
notwithstanding the fact that there
could not possibly be the semblance
of truth in it. Huntington has a
good writer of political fakes and he
often breaks into print. Judging
from the ring OF his articles he is
somewhat of a Democrat, and while
they make good reading for such
papers as the Register, they are in
credible, in fact, ludicrous.
The people of West Virginia do not
want any other party in power than
the real old tested and tried Republi-
can party. Enough counties have al
ready spoken to settle the fact that
Hon. Charles w. swisher will lead
that ticket next fall, and the people
OF the party are satisfied with him.
Had he not won the nomination al
ready, or should have been beat
en- by Auditor Scherr, the people
would have elected Mr.. Scherr. The
matter is now settled, all but the for
NAL nomination by the convention,
and the people do not want to form
any Lincoln Republican" party, as
the Huntington Dem ocrat suggests.
They stand ready to support and elect
the Republican ticket headed by Mr..
Swisher, whose majority next fall
will be the greatest ever received by
Republican governor in this state.
