The West Virgiuos who believe in a Protective Tariff and desire that the voice of this State shall be so recorded should understand fully what the situation is. The poll of each party shows that u majority of the voters of West Virginia are on the Hide of Protection. This means thsit the State is lost to the party of Free Trade unless the managers of that organization can recover it between now and next Tuesday. They have no hope of accomplishing anything by argument.that efl'ort has exhausted and proved futile. The Lost Cause of the Freo Trade party covers everything in the State. The State ticket is gone, the Legislature and three if not all four of the Congressmen. This is the word that has reached Democratic headquarters, and this is the word that lias spread panic through the Free Trade ranks. This is what induced the leaders to make the urgent appeals which have brought into the State money to be used at the last hour in the hope of recoverI fag the lost ground. To juake sure of a careful distribution of the funds, Federal ollice-huldere, some of them residents of the State and some of them from other .States, have boon relieved of their public duties to go on missionary tours into the interior, carrying the money in their gripsacks, generally split up into convenient $2 bills. In other cases lump sums have been sent. Within a few days n man professing to have been n Republican has been sent to Charleston with $300 understood to be intended for use on the head of the State ticket. The Istklliukxcmi has the name of this as of other envoys extraordinary who have been sent on this business. Men are to be employed to remain away from the polls where thoy cannot be bought oughtright to vote the Free Trade ticket. Other men aro to bo bought, if they can be, with the cheaper circulating medium of promises, of which tbereisan abundance in the treasury. The promises of Government employment made in Wheeling ulonu could not I*' kept if West Virginia were to get ten times her share of the National spoils. Not one of these promissory notes will bo worth a cent alter election day. But the $- bills are good all the time, and these are the main reliance to hold in line a State which is proudly called Democratic. If Protectionists are in earnest they will watch every poll, get out every vote, Bee that it goes in as the voter intends and is counted as it is polled. _I( every Protectionist vote in the Stato goes into the ballot box and is counted as it is polled, tlio boodlo scheme will be thwarted.

Mrs. Jennie McClurkins, in favor of the Prohibitory amendment, spoke here to a very large meeting Sunday afternoon. .She radically disagreed with Col. Thomas It. Carskadon on the duties of Prohibitionists. She wisely said sue not advocate any political party. Democrats as well as Republicans could and should vote as they pleased on partisan matters, but hoped nil would vote lor her cause. Hou. George C. Sturgisa is in Hardy county this week awakening the echoes in his able manner. Mr. Thomas H. B. Staggers arrived here this morning from his campaign on the West Virginia Central railroad. Tiu spoke this afternoon at Burgess and to-night at tho Court House to the largest meeting of the campaign, except tho meeting had by Gen. Gotf. Fully 500 voters and many ladies greeted the speaker, and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested. Mr. Staggers has traveled nearly 200 miles and mado seven speeches since Thursday morning last. A considerable portion of this was through mud and rain in a buggy and on horseback. Republican meetings will be held at Williamsportanu Beymourvuie tomorrow, and at Petersburg and Lahmansi viUe next day. Hon. William L. Wilson is advertised for the South Branch Valley during the present week. Tho cause of Protection is gaining ground hero with amazing rapidity.

Va., Nov- 1..Judge Fleming, Democratic candidate (or Governor, and Thomas C. Weeks, of Baltimore, spoke In tlio court house here last night, to an audience of about two-think Democrats and one-third Republicans. As tho Judge has been speaking in too "interior, nis ucarere hero have now tlio opportunity of knowing tor themselves the character o( the speeches he has been making, and may also compare him as a candidate for Gubernatorial honors with General Goff, who most people here know, and have heard speak. Judge Flemings ap' pearance hero to-night will certainly re- suit in good to tlic republican ticket, Ho devoted tho hour anil a half of bis speech to a discussion of the tarifi question and endeavored to make the iraprcs' sion that the people were burdened and 1 groaning uuder a high tariff tax. "Why,'"mid he, "the tariff is equal ton tax of all dollars on every inhabitant ol the United States. It is a robber tax, and this iniquitous Republican party U I responsible (or it all." In the next i breath ho exclaimed: "We are callo<! free traders. Wo are not free traders, we proposo a reduction ot only 6 pei r cent in the present rates," and whict ' according to tho Judgu's own argument P would still leave tho people groaning under a tax of $5 75 per capita. After bis labored and disconnected speech, Chairman Martin introducejliilheHon. Thomas A. Weeks" with the remark that4'All's well that ends well." Thomas at once launched out into an eulogy of Cleveland and wound up with the most virulent abuse of the Republican party. He referred to Grant and Hayes and charged them as well as the Republican party with being thieves and robbers: that they had stolen the earth; had stolen the navy; and that thero was no crime too great for them to commit. Ho frankly admitted that he knew nothing about the tariff, and said he realized that his audience was better informed on that question than himself. His sole and only miasion seemed to be the abuse of the Republican p«rty. The record of Weeks is that he is emI ployed in Bultiiuore in a public oilice and has the odor of McClellan's Alley clinging to his garments, for he was one of the prime movers in counting out J. Morris Harrison, of iiultimore, in 1884. lie spoke for over an hour. Mr. Hubbard in IVebnU-r County. Special DUixitch to the Int&Uocncer. Webster C. H., W. Va., Nov. 1.. Hon. W. P.

NEW YORK IS A CONE STATE Local Democratic Factional Fljjlit will Reduce the Majority in the City to as.OUU-Bricc's Committee Feeling very Blue. Spccial Dlipaleh to the InUliigatcer, New Youk City, Nov. 1..Tlio resul of the voting in thin State next Tuesda; will largely depend upon the Democrat! plurality in this city. The condition a a(lairs here on the Democratic side i much worse now than it was in '80, whei the Democratic majority was about 30, 000 for the Presidential ticket. Each of the factions aro-bending everj euurt ut evrry uueu w ocuum mv- duuhdi of their local candidates, and each side i willing to trade votes for the Republi can Nutional candidates for votes foi their local nominees. How much trad ing can be done is impossible exactly t( state, but skillful politicians estimate that on a probable vote of 275,000 ai least 15,000 Democratic votes can be successfully traded. This would mean a low of 30,000 in what otherwise would bti the Democratic plurality. Upon this basic that close observers calculate that tin Democratic plurality on the Presidential ticket will not vary" much from :15,000 If this calculation be correct it would imply the certain defeat of the Democratic ticket in the State, as there is no probability of the Republicans coining to the Harlem river with a plurality ol less than 00,000 It is now known and openly stated that the administration is supporting the rammuny ticket. Cleveland don't like Hewitt, and although he is under the Jeepest obligations, yet is evidently usinij his influence indirectly to secure liis defeat. All ot the Democratic officeholders in this city, irrespective of their former affiliations, are supporting the Pain many ticket. Where they got theii word from or how they got their word, no one knows,but a sudden change came over the spirit of their dreams after Cleveland left. The word has been passed around nnongthe several hundred of inspectors of wares, watchmen and clerks in liis department that Grant, the Tammany candidate, is the one for whom they should cast their votes. To-day three Republican Inspectors, whose uames cannot be given unless to sacrifice their heads, stated severally that they had got an intimation which they liad regarded virtually as an order to rapport the Tammany candidate. This thing is going on all through the custom house ami the appraisers stores. \ prominent politician said to-night: "I know about this matter. It seems to me to be the very height of political folly mil it is one reason why tnose who are familiar with the inside of the campaign ire looking forward to the announce(lient of the vote next Tuesday night with bluencss. It means that if the *cm*mc ue earned out uio county winDcracy men will have to resort to desperate tactics in order to hold their end up. "It shows the basis of ingratitude on the part of the President, for it was the county Democracy that brought about liis nomination at Chicago in 1884. i'here is nothing in politics except faith, und when a prominent man loses the faith of his party followers, he loses 11 bout all of the political capital he ban jot. "IIow far this open warfare, which means trading by the wholesale on election day, will reduce the vote on the electoral ticket. I cannot state. That is problematical.!' Another gentleman said to-night, "If vou rely upon, this city to carry thia State and thid'Statu decides the National contest in favor of the Democratic ticket then the jig is up. My only hopes for Cleveland's re-election is that we are goiu£ to cany, as Chairman Brice says he is going to carry. Suites like Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. I know this is a pretty small tag upon which to pan a political hope. I can only add that I am just now not hotting on a hope supported by such a slender thread." c. 11. TUB B00D1.K TliATS COMING IN.

New Yokk, Nov. 1..Tonuy Flannagnn, of Cincinnati, and Pete McCaho, of Albany, fought a desperate battle, lasting ten rounds, for u purse of $300 in the dining loom of a hotel at City Island. The battlo was witnessed by thirty club men, who paid §10 a head for the privilege. tflannagan was dcclurcd the victor at the close of the tenth round, after almost demolishing McCabe. An accideut occurred in the sixth round which might have terminated in the death of one of the principals. Mc, Cube, while being rubbed down, asked liis seconds for a drink of brandy. One of hi* attendants handed him n bottle contain# ammonia instead of the brandy bottle. McCabe raised the Btuff to bis month and took a swallow, lie sent up n yell and dropped to the lloor and rolled around in intense puin. Ou the call of time for the seventh round, McCabe was upon his feet and continued the light, although his face bore an agonizing look that told of the pain the fellow was enduring. McCabe is 22 years old, five feet six inches high and weigns ii'« pounus. riannngan is the same age, five feet six inches high and weighs 130 pounds. The lighting was of the hurrienne order and was bloody from the start to the finish, l'lannngan showered blow after blow on the faro and neck of his opponent, while in return he received terrible punishment about tbo cbestaud face. McCabe was awarded first blood and first knock-down in tho second round. The battle became so wicked toward the finish that many of the spectators turned their heads away to avoid the sickening uiirht. At the end of the battle Mc- Cube's left eye was completely closed and his right cheek bone was laid bare from a two-inch cut. Flannagan's facc was also a sorry sight, his face being badly swollen and bleeding. The fight which was one of the gamest on record, lasted forty minutes. A Serious Nltuntloii in Caiuwln.

Do tliejr want a U*pr®»entative with aueh a ltfcord? Lut Evening'! Newt UUer. It may not be generally known among the workingmon of this county that Mr. A. D. Garden, one of 1he Democratic candidates for the Legislature, and who is posing as the warm and earnest friend of the workingman, voted for the passage of the miners' bill, which was known as Senate Bill No. 130, "A bill to regulate the working, ventilation and drainage of coal mines in this State, to provide for the appointment of mine inspectors, and to repeal chapter 70 of the acts of 1883," which measure contained the iniquitous conspiracy clause. The title of the bill conveys tbe im* pression that it is a very harmless meas- ure, not only that, but that it is wholly ( for tbe good and lasting welfare of the nmu wno worjcs id me mines, oomeoi J its provisions are beneficial to the miners, 1 but the conspiracy clause destroys what J benefits it insures to them. On page 580 * of the journal of the House of Delegates 1 will be found the full vote on the j)as- 1 sage of the bill, and among those voting 3 "aye" was Mr. A. D. Garden, of Ohio I county. Thoso absent on leave and not J voting were Messrs. N. E. Whitakerand I J. J. Woods. This is a matter of record f and not mere assertion. J Now for the conspiracy clause, for f which Mr. Garden voted, and which » tho Democratic Legislature made a part c A tho laws ot the State. It will be * found under the head of Chapter 50 of f the Acts of the Legislature, page 168, 1 jection 14. The clause reads: "Nor ' ihall any person or persons or corobi- ' lotion of persons by force, threats, v uenuce or intimidation of any kind, 11 prevent or attempt to prevent from ? vorking in or about any mine, any per- J1 ion or persons who have the lawful 11 ight to work in or about tho same and J4 vTjo desires to work." That was what Mr. Garden voted for M ind he now claims to be the special and P 'articular friend of the workingman and ** be zealous guardian of bis interests. P The penalty attached for auy violation c] if the foregoing provisions will be found tl n page 170 of the acts of 1887; it makes the CJ crime" a misdemeanor and, such person, J* he act says, "upon conviction, snail be « mnished by a fine of not less than $10 nor a uore than $100. In default of payment t] if such line and costs, for the space of tl en days, the defendant may, in the liscretion of the court, be imprisoned in he county jail for a period not exceed- c ng three months." And this was what Mr. Garden voted [>r, ami who now says he is the very dear riend of the laboring man. n Several miners in the Kanawha region " I'ere arrested under the provision of the j ct, but popular clamor was so great and he indignation of the community so " >rououneed that the prosecuting wit- tl U'tss failed to annear on thi* dav net for o< he trial and the miners were discharged. 0 Now let the workingman and the la- tl >orer consider what the Kepublican t< >arty, through its platform, adopted in \\ Charleston at the State convention of c Inguat 22,1888. pledges itself to per- ei orm. In regard to thw bill it save: tc "Whereas, Tho passagoof the Miners' u >111 by the Democratic Legislature of 887, containing the conspiracy feature, tl rus a direct blow at organized labor,and tl vaa passed with tho design and purpose h >f overawing those who are connected t< .1 rn.»i,..u "Jtoolvcd, That wo pledge Tour party to p opeal bo much of Chapter 00, of the tl lets of 1887, as refers to conspiracy, and r, ilso provide that the inspector shall bo Cl practical miner instead of a civil eugi- p leer, as is now required by law." d Isn't that plaiu enough? A.ud Mr. 0 Jarden, the "special and particular t| rieud of the workwoman," voted for p hat very measure which tho Republi:au party, through its representatives in he Legislature, is pledged to repeal. Ch'ere is food for reflection in these state- Y nents for the workingman. They are ncontrovertible facts, and not delusive, lap-trap, unsupported assertions. Mr. " harden, "the zealous guardian of tho ^ nteresta of the workingman," is on ecord. He cannot go behind it. u 0 + ii T11E HUh MHET1AU ti riio Ilncm on the State Fair Gronod Fin- | UUeri Yesterday.

"This conduct appears comical from le fact that Cleveland does not leave lie British Government in doubt as to is aim. Tbo rage of party newspapers, >o, against Lord Sackville, is mere affec- ition. It is a peculiar characteristic of 'residential campaigns now-a-days that ley are carried on pretty quietly and espectably so far as home relations aro Diicerned, but that they continue to rovoke unpleasantness and noisy indents with foreign countries.
