MONONGAH, W. Va., October 16, 1894. Areport has been in circulation in these perts that the managers of Congressman Wilson's campaign recently served formal notice upon certain prominent democrats who have large coal interests in this section that should Mr. Wilson's interests suffer through the lukewarmness of any democrat growing out of Mr. Wilson's position toward the coal tariff, Mr. Wilson wouki be put forward as a candidate for the Senate next January. This action would have import- ant bearing upon some senatorial plans which are now being laid. - The coal mines in this vicinity are own- ed by Senator Camden, ex-Goy. Fleming and the Watsons. Senator Gorman is a stockholder in the railroad which taps these lands. If there ever has been any disposition on the part of Senator Camden or ex-Gov. Fleming toward half-heartedness in the campaign it has entirely disappeared. Both of these gentlemen spoke at today’s mest- ing at Monongah. The leading democratic newspaper of the county, which has criti- cised Mr. Wilson sharply on account of his stand for free coal, is now warmly ad- yoeating his election. There are a great many democrats in the country surround- ing the mines. On the first day of this month a cut of five cents a ton was made in the miners’ wages. These democrats got the idea that the reduction in wages was a political move against Wilson, which has had the effect of arousing their indignation and strengthening Wilson's positton. It may be explained that the reduction was not for political effect, but was a return to the price which existed last spring. Dur- ing the great coal strike the Monongah miners did not go out. The mines worked double time and the wages were increased five cents a ton. Enlightened Selfishness. ‘That which Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge called “the enlightened selfishness” of a certain stamp of democracy prevails in this section to a marked degree. The county has here- tefore been democratic. Wilson has been idolized and idealized. Yet, as soon as he took his stand that coal is included in the democratic platform of free raw materials, he was bitterly assailed by these democrats. One of them, in fact the leader of that class in the county, explained his position to the writer today by saying that they objected to coal being made free to the New England woolen manufacturer, and ai the same time a duty of thirty-eight per cent placed on the New Englanders’ manufactured prod- uct. It was suggested to this gentleman that his plea for protection is legitimate, but that he is in the wrong pew; he should be a republican? He could not see it in this light. When he was asked if the sentiment which be voiced would lead his fellow- thinkers to keep away from the polls or vete against Mr. Wilson he replied that it yet remained to be seen; that there is a vote of about 4 in the county which is sometimes democratic and at other times republican, The tendency of this element is as yet problematical. With this fe-ling known to exist in county and fostered by the republ speakers, together with other untoward e! ments in the situation, the state of affairs which confronted Mr, Wilson was an inter- esting ore, and there was general expect- ancy as to the result of this, his first entry into the mining region. The republican predicted that he would receive a chilly re ception. The democrats feared it might be d _the a lukewarm one, which would be us to hi ntage In other mining sections. very effort was made to get a big crowd, nd several carloads of enthusiasti men came down from Fairmount. Wilson at Monongah, The hectic flush of hope upon the cheek of democracy has warmed into a carnation glow since the meeting today. Between 2,500 and 3,000 peop!2 composed the open-air audience which greeted Mr. Wilson. There were grimy-faced miners from out of the bowels of the earth, and old-line patriarchs from the farms over the hills. The snout which went up from portions of the a dience upon Mr. Wilson's appearance sho ed that a goodly proportion were his friends, Mr. Wilson made a speech which is charac- terized by the newspaper men who have been with him all along as one of the most eloquent he has yet delivered. It was cer- tainly effective, for at times it carried the audience off their feet. His remarks were upon the general line of the democratic doc- trine of reduced taxation and economical administration. ‘he “robber tarifi” and “the grasping trusts” came in for the usual dennciation. He used homely similes and talked In a strain suited to his hearers. He is in good health and good voice, and speaks without effort. The income tax was given only passing mention, but strong stress was laid upon the cheapened cost of articles of necessary use. The Question of Coal. Mr. Wilson touched Hghtly upon the coal tariff, claiming that the reduction would not place West Virginia coal into serious com- petition with the foreign product. He said the loss of the patronage of a few New Eng- land seaports would be compensated for a hundred times over in the increased con- sumption by factcries thriving under the benefits of free raw materials. The revival of American shipbuilding and of the mer- chant marine under the beneticent provisions of the new tariff Jaw would also increase the demand for the coal of West Virginia He scorned the idea that Nova Scotia or English coal would ever compete with the Jocal output to its disadvantage. Mr. Wil- son attempted no apology for his stand on coal or extenuation of his course in Con- gress in this connection. His remarks upon Wilson this subject were received in silence by the audience without demonstrations either of approval or disapproval. Senator Camden's Position, The meeting had been opened by Sena- tor Camden, who made an argument de- signed to disprove the statement that the protective tariff is for the benefit of the laboring man. The rose-pink campaign book of the democratic congressional com- mittee furnished his sources of argument. “I have been charged with being a mo- nopolist,"" said Senator Camden in the course of his remarks, and he paused and looked over the tops of his eyeglasses at the audience. There was no reply, but a kind of grim smile overspread the features of his hearers, He is said to be worth over a million, and is identified with every leading industry of the state. “f am a monopolist,” he continued, “to the extent of having brought $15,000,000 capital into West Virginia, which is yielding $100,000 per year revenue to the state, and has not yet paid a dollar of dividends to the stock- holders." He said he is in full accord with the issues of the democratic party upon which it came into power. He said he voted for free wool, lumber, salt and iron ore, byt did not have an ‘opportunity to vote upon the question of free coal, as the report of the Senate finance committee had to be upheld. He professed not to attach much importance to a tariff on coal, Ex- Gov. Fleming was called upon for a speech and delivered a short address. He did not mention the subject of coal. At the close of the meeting three cheers were given for Mr. Wilson with a will and one old farmer of the ancient mariner type solemnly arose and delivered the tiger. For thagnext hour the people crowded around’™ shake hands with Mr, Wilson. ‘The Democrats Worrted.

It is.certain that neither side has received any hélp from its con- gressional committge at Washington. Readers of The Star can probably readily imagine why the d ‘ratic committee, as now constituted, has found it impossible to give financial aid to Mr. Wilson, As for the republican committee, it has been de- cided that the amount of money which would be necessary to insure complete suc- cess in this district’ cah be better em- ployed in turning the scale in other sections than in merely defeating Mr. Wilson. Up to this time the campaign is a clean one. Personalities have been avoided, and the fight is progressing upon strict doctrinal lines. N. O. M. MAKING WAR ON VEST The Young Missouri Democracy Reported as Against Him. Candidates for His Seat in the Senate —A New Generation Not Under the Senator's Spell. Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, Mo., October 16, 1894. One feature of the forthcoming election in Missouri is the bearing it will have on the choosing of a successor to Senator Vest. It is true, there will be no vacancy until 1897, but the state senators voted for next month will have a voice in the thirty- eighth general assembly. Mr. Vest will not have a walkover. There is a growing ele- ment in his own party, composed of the newer generation, which believes that it would be as weil for him to retire on his honors. Mr. Vest, it is believed by many, made a mistake sixteen years ago, when he first became a Senator-elect, in snubbing the “kid” politicians of the state. These “kids” are now grown men, with whiskers and in- fluence, and they do not forget the humil- jlation they consider he subjected them to when they were in the adolescent stage of development as party workers. The state is proud of him, of his standing as a Sen- ator and his loyalty as a Missourian, but some of the people show an inclination to oppose him, and it would not be surprising if they were to swap him off for a young. man of lesser parts,but with a happier knack of getting along with the administration. They argue that the government at Wash- ington is a three-cornered affair, and that the legislative should work as harmo- niously as possible with the executive if results are to be expected. The fact that the results most ardently desired are fed- eral offices does not weaken the force of their argument. Already reports are coming in from dif- ferent parts of the state where Vest has spoken that the Senator has lost much of bis fire. This is not true; The Star corres- pondent has heard him recently, and he is as virile as ever he was. The fact is, he is being looked at through another pair of spectacle that is all, The Senatorial Candidates, Including the Senator, there will be three, Possibly four, candidates in the field. The ew aspirants to the honor are all young men. They were all decidedly in the “kid” class when Mr. Vest made his successful and brilliant campaign. in 1878—a campaign that gave him national fame before he be- came 4 national official. Ex-Gov Francis leads the van. He is in the forties, bold, self-reliant and adroit, He is suave, gentlemanly and entertaining; Bi nt and successful. Men who hear of Francis are generally impressed unfavor ably. They meet him once, and somehow begin to think he is ia good fellow. The second time they assert there is something in the man, althou,h» her is a hail fellow well met, and fond of the good things of life. Their third interwiew they wird up with a mental oath of allegiance. His friends urge that if he were in the Senate now, Missourians whu hanker after office would not have to write begging letters to John M. Palmer of Iilinois, offering as an excuse the fact that it was this state that started the latter's senatorial boom. Con- gressman Cobb 1s his closest friend, and it is not unlikely that if Francis goes to the Senate he will use his large influence at some future time to make the twelfth dis- trict man governor, Champ Clark wishes to go to the Senate. He will undoubtedly have a following when the joint session meets to elect. Stone's Presidential Bee. The other candidate ts a contingent one— Goy. Stone. The figure he will cut depends on the lustiness in 1806 of his presidential boom, now in its callow days. The governor believes himself to be in line for the presi- dency, and he does not stand alone; neither does his boom. It is the talk of city, vil- lage, town and country cross-roads. It is mentioned at every barbecue and democrat- ic love feast held in the state, and wherever mentioned the welkin is made to ring with shouts for “Shirt-tail Bul.” From present appearances Stone will go into the next national convention backed by the solid Missouri delegation, and a disposition to dicker. The very least this delegation will hope for is a vice presidential nomination for its favorite. Stone is an able man and a student, He is scholarly, and polished, too, despite his sobriquet, suggestive of the time down on the farm when he had nothing but a shirt to his back. He is a man of courage, as is shown by his relent- less war on the A. P. A., which is at pres- ent potential in Missouri. If he loses in the nationa! convention his prominence there will give him a prestige with the legislature that may Jand him in the Senate. In this event the cry will be set up that this part of the state has been neglected, and an ef- fort will be made to push Cockrell aside with Francis, But that 4s another story, four years too young to be strikingly in- teresting. What Rep icans Hope For. The forthcoming election may result, any- how, In a readjustment of policies and a revision of slates. Not since 1872 has a re- publican been elected to state office in Mis- souri. This year the leaders of that party are making a desperate effort to pull through at least one candidate on their ticket. They have some hope of landing the entire batch. There is talk of Jones, popu- list candidate for supreme judge, withdraw- ing at the last moment and throwing his strength to Robinson, the republican nomi- nee. In this event Robinson's success will not be surprising. But it is Joseph Flory, candidate for ratiroad and warehouse com- missioner, whom the pepublicans are most hopeful of electing. He 3s a railroad con- ductor, and is very solfd With the American Railway Union. His Bpponent is a banker, and there is already -one banker on the board. The outgoing member, Hennessy, is a locomotive engineer, The democrats have heretofore given one of three positions on the commission tO,a practical railroad man, and when they threw Hennessy over- board a howl, very lofg and very loud,went up in every commun} yhere the whistle of the steam cars {s familfar. Flory is mak- ing the most of this, and in a year like the present there are sigs favorable to him. Strange as it may seem, the chamber of commerce influence of thig city may be ex- ercised in his behalf inst a capi- talist. The hoard “appoints the chief grain inspector for. the state. The present inspector has-antagonized the ele- vator men of St. Louig, who, consequently, most cordially despise him, They have suc- ceeded in having him @enbunced by a vote of the Merchants’ Exchange, and it is not improbable that the opposing power who made him may be rebuked at the polis. Added to this a widespread belief that the board should be non-partisan, anyway, and you have a state of affairs that should make ante-election life sit easily upon the frame of Conductc * Flory, —— ay DEATH OF THE AMEER. pr eiclous He Exhorted His Som to Be a Friend te the British.

REEVE HUNTING FOR ——- PARTY Representative Johnson's Friends Confident of His Success. SOME MIXED POLITICS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND FORKS, N. D., October 14, 1894, There is a most interesting contest now going on in this state to determine whether M. N. Johnson, the hard-headed, horny- handed Scandinavian farmer, shall go back to Congress and vote with the republicans or whether Walter Muir, also hard-headed and horny-handed, shall replace him and vote with the populists. The fight here, as in Minnesota, is really between the republi- cans and the populists, but with this dif- ference, that the democrats are here acting as assistant populists, while in Minnesota they are preserving the traditions of the party and running an independent ticket. Two years ago North Dakota was largely carried by the populists, and the politicians have been busy ever since explaining how it happened. Perhaps Congressman Johnson’ explaration is as good as any. He say that the populists and democrats formed a peculiar combination by the terms of which the democrats furnished the votes and the populists took the offices. How- ever that may be, the Congressman himself pulled through and now holds the only seat North Dakota is entitled to in the House of Representatives. The state ticket was the one that suffered defeat at the hands the fusion combination. This de- feat was largely due to the methods by which Roger Allin of Walsh county was euchered out of the republican nomination for governor. Allin had the votes in con- vention necessary to nominate him, but the affair was so manipulated that he didn’t win. North Dakota politicians are no chickens in the matter of sharp practice, and the one who loses is not apt to make any outery beyond carefully sharpening a jong knife and putting it in his bootleg, but the Allin affair was just a bit too grant for the Walsh county crowd and no one was vastly surprised when about 1,000 of the Walsh county republicans bolted the whole ticket. The result was the defeat of the republican ticket by narrow pluralities, How the Si This year things are different. The Allin affair was smoothed over by the unanimous nomination of Allin himself for governor. Congressman Johnson was nominated to succeed himself, and the breaches in the party were so successfully closed up that it is now presenting a remarkably har- monious front to the enemy. There was promise of trouble earlier in the campaign, when the state committee attempted to read the redoubtable Jud LaMoure of Pembina out of the party for the part he took in the election of Senator Roach by a republican legislature. Jud, however, put in an ap- pearance at the state convention, backed by the solid delegation of his county, and it Was thought best to drop the whole matter. LaMoure sat on a back seat and took no part in the proceedings, His behavior was sufficiently meek and Jowly to win him some consideration, and it is probable that after he has wora sackcloth and ashes for a sufficient length ef time he will be re- ceived back into full fellowship. But it Was a severe blow that LaMoure dealt his party when he formed a cabal strong enough to prevent the election of a republi- can Senator, and then turned about and secut-d the election of Roach. The term of Senator Hansbrough, the senior Senator, does not expire until 1806, and this year's campaign is therefore not complicated by any senatorial issues, Mr. Reeve Sticks. The congressional campaign ts in rather @ peculiar mess. The democratic convention played horse with the nomination in such a way as to greatly embarrass themselves and thelr allies, the populists. When the convention met no deal had been arranged, and it seemed impossible to get the warring factions to come to terms. The anti-fusion men were in the miaority, but were well organized at first. ‘Iney proposed the nom- iration of Budd Reeve, a rural humorist of unique wit, well Known throughout the state, for Congressman. ‘ne suggestion was received with a loud guffaw. Every one thought it the best joke imaginable, and before the convention realized what it had done Reeve of Buxton had been nominated by acclamation. He was called to the stage, and made a speech, in which he ac- cepted un one condition—that no fusion be nade with the populists on the state ticket. The leaders, who were anxious to conclude fusion, were in a quandary. They wanted to name a man for Congress who could be taken off the ticket when it became neces- sary in order to complete the deal. They were very much afraid that Keeve couldn't be easily handled. A committee was sent to labor with him to come before the con- vention and decline, but he was too wary for that. So it was decided to ignore him, go ahead on the hypothesis that he had declined when he made the condition as to no fusion, and nominate some one else. N. G. Larimore, who could be depended on to withdraw wheaever necessary, was named, and his nomination was certified to by the convention officers. This, it was fondly hoped, disposed of Reeve entirely. But the Buxton humorist was not to be left out of the calculation so easily, He declared that he would run as an independent, straight- out democrat, filing his nomination by pe- tition In the manner provided by the state law. He issued a quaintly humorous ad- dress to the voters, in which he stated that he was running to save the honor of the democratic party and on a platform of honesty. “Where is my wandering party tonight,” he exclaimed in mock heroics. As ucbody answered the query, he declared that he would start out on his gray mare and make a canvass to find out. He is now making that canvass, and as he is an old stager from the territorial days, it is be- lieved that he will poll about half of the 7,000 democratic votes in the state. Completing Fusion, ~ Meanwhile the fusion between the demo- crats and populists has been partially com- pleted. Larimore has just been withdrawn in favor of Muir, the populist, and the state tickets have been amalgamated as far as possible. It wasn’t found practicable to witharaw Wallace, the populist candidate for goverror, nor Newton, the populist can- didate for supreme judge, but the populist candidates indorsed by the democrats have made a secret agreement to turn over as many votes as possible to Kinter and Tem- pleton, the democratic nominees for those two offices. Just how this will work re- mains to be seen, but as the announcement has caused a bitter quarrel in the populist party it may be doubted whether the re- sult will not be to aid both Allin and John- gon. North Dakota is normally and naturally a republican state, and there is every rea- son to believe that she will remain in the republican column this year. Johnson, es- pecially, in view of ihe divided opposition to him by reason of the Reeve b seems certain to win. Johnson is some- thing of an anomaly for a western Con- gressman in that he has firmly resisted the silver heresy. Two years ago he risk- ed his political future by taking an uncom- promising stand for sound money. He fought the fight openly without any trim- ming to meet the inflation gale that was blowing—and won.

Frank Prosperi and William Fowler, young men well known in Southeast Wash- ington, are no jonger friends. They were friends until a few evenings ago, but last night they engaged in a fight. The result was that Prosperi was given a bruised eye and today Judge Mii made him pay for his fun. Presperl, who is twenty-two years old, is a married man, but the fact that he has a wife has not made public dances less attractive tu him. He attended a church fair given in Carroll Hall, on G street, one evening last week, and managed to get an introduction to several young ladies are unmarried. They accepted his invita- tion to dance, and Frank remained on the floor unul the last dance was tinished, and then he went home. before going, however, he met Fowler and some companions, who made known the fact that he was a married man, and perhaps threw a damper over Frank's evening enjoyment. At that Ume, it is stated,some language of a threat- ening character was used, and the feeling existing between Frank and the other young men terminated in the fight bast night. Frank attended a dance at Wash- ington Hall last night, and then he left there and went to Haines’ Hall, where there was also a dance in progres: “When I saw Fowler,” he told Judge Mil- ler, calied him out and told him I want- ed to see him. He said, ‘Yes, d— you; I want to see you.’ When he came over, I raised my fist and he struck me in the eye with a blackjeck. Then he had a pistol.” “What did you expect when you called him aside and raised your arm to strike hi the judge esked. “You certainly must have expected sothe trouble.” Fowler denied that he struck Prosperi ecg blackjack or that he even had a pistol. ‘The charge of assault against Fowler was dismiesed. Frank Prosperi, John Ellis and Louls Wood were charged with disorderly conduct. Prosperl was fined $, and he managed to raise $4 of the fine. The judge trusted him to pay the other dollar. His friends were acquitted. at Onc A reunion and camp fire will be held this evening at Grand Army Hall by Gen.Jno.M. Schotield Garrison, No.28, Regular Army and Navy Union of the United States, at which time and place an inspection of the garrison will be made by Assistant National Inspec- tor Thos. J. Shea of the national command- er’s staff. This garrison is composed of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the regular army, navy and marine corps of the United States resident in Washington, and is one of about 250 garrisons of theRegu- lar Army and Navy Union, containing over 6,000 members, The national headquarters are located at Columbus, Ohio. Comrade James P. Lockwood of Chicago is the pres- ent national commander,and Comrade Rich- ard J. Fanning of Columbus, Ohio, national aojutant. During the camp fire an excellent literary and musical program will be ren- dered by some of the best talent in the garrison, and the boys of “The Regular Army, Oh!” will relate incidents relative to their life on the plains, with the red war- riors of the wild west. eters The Most Distastetul to Wor From the Vall Mall Budget. My friend Woman has been discussing “What shortcoming in a man is most dis- tasteful to a woman?’ A plebiscite hes been tak2n on the subject, and the result is instructive. I had unagined, from cur- sory glances at such buoks as “The Heav- enly Twirs,” which purport to give the fine fleur of femsle thought, thai the “wick=d- ness” of roy Gowntrodden sex was the thing that ng women could stand. But no! Out of hundreds of women not a single one ob- jects to a man being “wicked.” Only four- teen have any marked objection to “un- faithfulness” or “inconstancy,” while a hundred ard fifteen consider a lack of g004 mapners as Ure most unendurable defect in a maa. Qre woman considers “shyness” the un- pardonable sin; another can apparently stand all known vices, but cannot endure an unknown one, which she calls “inefiect- ualress.”” There is one Womaa who serivus- ly dislikes a want of humor in a tman,which is rather surprising. Altogether, Woman has vnearthed about fifty vices in my un- bappy sex, each one of which is the worst rossible in the eyes of some one or more fair ores. I should have hesitated to al- lude to the matter at all were I not encour- aged by the fact that only one voter ob- jects to “the covert sneer at women.” ee A Mass Meeting a Mile Long. Oliver Sumner Tevll, not to be outdone by the Tammaryites, who have engaged the ‘Thalia Theater in New York for the night he had announced a mass meeting of re- publicans there, with Chauncey M. Depew as the speaker, has arranged for a mass meeting to take in the whole of the Bowery. He had engaged the theater, but when he went to pay for it he was told that a higher power had secured it and thus block- ed the propored meeting. Now Mr. Teall intends to have a mass 1. ecting larger than any mass meeting ever before heki. It will be a mil2 long, and there will be 140 speak- ers. To accomplish this he has pre-empted every corner in the Bowery. To be more exact, he has obtained police protection for trucks, each truck to hold an orator. —_—__ + e+ —___ _ Trial the Maine.
