Sopt. 2.-Tho mountaineer editors of West Virgin'u have good, healthy Iungs, When the party of S6 called on Major McKinley sevoral hun- dred people joined in the gathoring. Everybody was enthusiastic, and the deie- gation applauded nearly every sentence Major McKintey spoke. Tho presentation of tho Republican Press association of Wost Virginian by P. W. Morris was un- usually witty and entertaining. He said: \Tho bill that is allted with your name was such a ono as to make you dear to West Virginia puople and causes West Virginia Ropublicains, with other reasons, ' to boliovo you aro tho most suitable man In all this land for president.\ Major McKinloy was greoted with great enthuslasm, Ho said: _ * \Mr. Morris und Gentlomen of the Re- , publican Press Association of West Vir- I ginia: It affords me sincoro pleasure to give you welcome to my state, my city and my home.

Josiah Grout Elected Governor of the w Green Mountain State. River Juxortor, Vt., Sept. 2.- The Green Mountain state has declared for Josiah Grout, Republican, of Derby ' for governor and for the Republican state ticket ontive by a majority that equalled the prediction of the most confident Re- - publican manager, Roturns from. the distant towns aro, as usual, rather slow in coming in, but the count in all sections of the state shows substantial ERopublican gains and indi- cuting that the majority for the Republi- can state ticket will be over 80,000. This 14 the largost majority over given for gov- ernor In the state. H. Honty Powers, tho Republican con- candidate in the Hirst district, and William W. Grout in the Second, nre both re-elected by increased «majorities, and the state sonate and houso aro in the control of the Republicans by practically the same majority as two years ago. Prac- tloally tho full Reupblican vote was cast. On the othor hand, the lack of organiza- tlon in the Domocratic ranks was very a&pparent. Miny Democrats who do not indorse the platform of the Chicago con- vention remained away from tho polls, whilo the more dissatisfied ones voted for the Ropublican ticket. It was claimed thas thore would be ac- cessions to the Democratic ranks in the farming districts, but these changes were not considerable and did not materially affect the result. 'The Populist and Pro- ; hibition voto was practically the same as four yoars ago. As between the two great- er parties, it was in brief a contest of i well organized army against forces lack- ing organization and hope. The Repub- locun managers claim that the result is significant and shows opposition from all sides to the Democratic currency prin- ciple, but the Democrats maintain that the increased Republican majority was expocted and it would have beon vory sur- prising ifit had failed to develop. 'The Republican state ticket elected is | as follows: Governor, Josinh Grout of Derby. Licutenant governor, Nelson W. Fish of Isle La Mutto, j Stance treasurer, Henty F. Field of Rut- and. f Secretary of state, noll of Burlington. Stato auditor, Franklin D. Halo of Lu- nenborg. Congressman from First district, H,. Honty Powors of Morrisville, Congrossmin from Second district, Wil Hum W. Grout of Barton. BRYAN AT CoLumsBus. Clnuncoy W. Brow- Twenty Thousand: People Hear the Dem- cratic Nominee Spork. COLUMEYS, O., Sept, ! -Lhe free silver campaign in Oho attrined its high water mark in Clevoland, but tho outpouring of people to seo and hear tho Democratic prosidentiMl candidate at the state cap- itnt was groater in proportion to the size of tho city thin' that in the northern me- tropolis had been. Mr. Bryan had tho Capitol grounds for his forum, and tho momory of loca! noliticlans contains no d woummmsem -. + such demonstration as the one in which he played the star part. A roofed and fl1g draped platform faced the eastern front of the Capitol building and as Mr. Bryan looked down from its height, 20 feet above the plain of faces, ho saw the steps and terraces packed in solid rows with the gloomy stone wall for the back ground, w hile about the other three sides of | the stage neross the lawn of sev- eral acres to the street beyond. stood regi- ments of which an accurate estimate was an impossibility and which a careful guess would place at 30,000. From the Chittenden hotel, half a mile away, Mr. Bryan came to the Capitol in a barouche drawn by four horses and under the escort of several free silver clubs of Columbus and neighboring towns, enliv- ened by bands and unique campaign de- vices in which mammoth silyer dollars shared conspicuously. A. shrill cheer marked his progress along the street and, multiplied in its intensity, announced his arrival at the platform. On account of the size of his audience, Mr. Bryan adopted a novel method of speaking, talking to sections of the crowd alternately from each of the four sides of the platform, and even then not more than a tenth of the people could hear him. He was introduced by Hon. Allen W. Thurman, son of the \Old Roman,\ who has been fighting for free silver in Ohio for several years. . After the candidate's speech, the Dem- ocratic nomines for congress in the Co- lumbus district, Hon. John J. Lentz, ad- dressed the remainder of the crowd. The trip down from Cleveland was mado under the escort of the Columbus committee in a special car on the Big Four railroad. decorated with a streamer announcing \William J. Bryan, Our Next President.\ Crowds greeted the train at its stations along the line, but Mr. Bryan spoke to them only briefly and in an informal way. POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS. Doings of the Various Party Leaders at Washington. WaAsHINGTON, Sept. 2. -At all of the po- litical headquarters in Washington mat ters were unusually quiet and had few visitors from out of town. The mails were, however, burdensome and brought great encouragement to the workers at headquarters. The National Association of Democratic Clubs in particular showed signs of ac- tivity, and when all of the mails were in it was announced with satisfaction by Mr. Gardiner that applications had been recived for enrollment from 53 Democratic clubs in all parts of the country, a larger enrollinent than upon any preceding day's history of the National association. Secretary Button of the Virginia state committee, who was among the callers, stated that a call would issue from that state cominittec in a fow days for a state club convention at Richmond. _ At Republican headquarters the mails are bringing in heavy demands for speeches by Senator Sherman and in par- ticular his speech of August, 1893, ex- planatory of the passage of the demoneti- zation act of 1878. The committee has given large orders for a publication written by A. W. Butt, devoted to n statement of the conditions existing in Mexico as a resuls of the use of silver,. Mr. Butt, who is a Washington news- paper man, was for some time an attache of the United States legation in the Chy of Mexico and he has taken occasion to publish the results of his observation of the conditions in Mexico, especially of the laboring classes of the population, as they are affected by free silver coinage. His work makes a pamphlet of 14 pages and is professedly . written from a nonpartisan standpoint. Connecticut Republican Convention.

Women who rsason well know that no male physician can understandingly treat the complaint known as \ female diseases,\ for no man ever experienced them. This, Lydia E. Pinkham taught them twenty years ago, when she dis- covered in her Vegetable Compound the only sue- cessful cure for all those ailments pecu~ liar to the sex. Many women have * a fatal faith in * their physician, and not till they can suffer no longer, will they think and act for themselves. The following testimony is straight to the point, and represents the ex- perience of hundreds of thousands of now grateful women: \For six years I was a great sufferer from those in- ternal weaknesses so prevalent among our sex. | After having received treat- ment from four physicians of our city, and finding no relief whatever, I con- cluded to try Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has proved a boon to me. - It can truly be called a \ Saviour of Women.\-Mrs. B.
