1 2 THURSDAY MORNING, THE PITTSBURG POST. NOVEMBER 1, 1894. IN THE 24TH DISTRICT. REVIBW OF THE OUTLOOK IN CONTEST. TEN CONGRESSIONAL SIPE'S FINE PROSPECTS.

The Elements He Has Attracted His Support. ACHESON JUST AS WEAK. AS EVER. Special to The Pittsburgh Post. Uniontown, Oct.

31-There have been marked changes in political conditions in Fayette county within the past 10 days, Democrats who were apathetic and indifferent but recently are thoroughly aroused and intent upon winning now, and the Democratic strength is increasing dally. The first pronounced advance in the Democratic lines immediately followed the Hastings meeting held here 10 days ago. It was not a great success from a Republican standpoint, and as soon 'It was held Democrats who had taken no part began falling into line, and the party has become aggressive, there is a determination to win. The Democratic cause was aided greatly by the visit of Colonel Singerly last week. The audlences which greeted him here and in Connelisville were large and enthusiastic, and composed of reprethe county.

These went home from the sentative Democrats ats from all parts of meetings encouraged and full of fight. They have been active since, and their good work is felt in all parts of the county. Daily the number of workers increases, and all indications point to Democratio majority in the county. Congressman Sipe, in the beginning of his campaign, had opposition which seemed formidable. It came from the large number which was disappointed in the distribution of the patronage.

It looked for a time that he would lose a large number of votes, but most of thome who were disappointed are thorough Democrats, worthy of office because of their fidelity to Democratic principles. Such never scratched a Democratio ticket, end they will not do it now When 8 great battle is being waged for Democratic principles. Not one In ten of those who opposed Mr. Sipe three months ago is opposing him now, and the number will grow smaller this until election day. ave been classed as Demovote against him are very pumber who feel too much appointment to vote for rote against him.

They voting for anyone. disappointed, as a enough to know that the principles of at stake, and well to stab it, one man. AN county favor are any Reof Mckinleyism This latter to make up to P111 loose from the leekers. sources from whioh The old solcrests he has been he has aided, will, im. They feel that soldier, and because political faith as the can be of store serve Mr.

Acheson cotild willing the latter the desire for the Monongahels in That would greatly our people They. know tree river. They are aiso Informed that C. L. Magee, the burg leader, opposes a free river, because many Republican politicians hold stock in the navigation company.

They believe that Magee owns Acheson and that the latter could not favor a free river it he desired to do so, because of the opposition to it on the part of Mr. Bipe will profit by the unholy eillance between Magee and Acheson. An a rule, Mr. Sipe's appointments in this county have been good. tunately he did not have enough offices to reward all the deserving Democrats who applied to bim.

But no matter how rood the appointments a congressman maken, they are a source of weakness rather then strength when the number of applicants largely exceeds the number of offices. In other directions Mr. Bipe bas greatly strengthened himself and It looks as if his majority in Fayette this year will nearly or altogether equal that of 1692, when he had over Mr. Acheson. The latter lost no votes In Fayette in 1899 on the Jobes issue, and he cannot poll as many votes as he polled in his former race.

The other candidates upon the Democratic ticket will run up with Mr. Sipe In county, some of them ahead of him. H. ACTIVE AND VIGILANT. Washington County Democrats Never in Better Trim Than Now.

Special to The Pittsburgh Post. Washington, Oct. cratic party of Washington county 18 well organized and will poll a very large vote. The reaction has ret in, and the apathy which has marked some other parts of the state has never reached here. The registry lists show 20,000 voters enrolled, and of these the Republicans claim but 9,000.

The Indicatons are they will not have over 7,500 and that Hon. W. A. Sipe will have A majority over Acheson. Mr.

Bipe is personally known and well liked by He the majority of the committeemen. is popular Acheson with labor element, whilst is unknown to the unions, save as their opponent. It is said that during the past two years every union printer has been weeded out of the Washington "Advertiser" office, and the members of the typographical union are not backward in making the tact known to other labor organisations. During his incumbency Mr. Sipe has won the regard of the old soldiers by they diligent will vote attention to their interests, and for him.

As boss of the county Acheson has so distributed the county patronage that no old soldier has been appointed mercantile appraiser, commissioner's clerk, janitor or. fireman, although several applied for each position. This, combined with the forcing of his cousins on the county ticket when old soldiers who were better qualified were seeking the nominations and were thrust to one side, will lose him many votes which will go to the Democratio nominee. In this county the strongholds are located in districts previously Republican. The accessions by the growth of Charleroi and other new towns show Democratic majorities the poll.

When they compare mills their with state and mill county rate of the 1 county tax levied Allegheny county, they say, "No more, Acheson in So far as we can learn, every wager offered by a Republican that Acheson will be elected as been promptly in some instances Republicans taking the Sipe end the Acheron adherents. cannot fatt be of great advantage, not only to Mr. but to the whole ticket. WILL POLL A LARGE VOTE.

Lethargy No Longer Prevails In Staunch Old Greene County, Special The Pittsburgh Port. Waynesburg, Oct. 31-I have been toking, for some the interest last 30 In years politics in this and I never recollect having witnessed 8 quieter or leas Interesting campaign than the present until within the last two or three weeks. Our Democratic majority is so large and so reliable that after the primaries are held and county candidates determined upon, the successful aspirants deem It unnecessary to make any further efforts to secure their success in November. This tende to make our campaigns quiet and less interesting during the summer and fall.

But the present season this has been more than ordinarily the case. Within the past week or ten days, however, the Democracy appears to he arousing from their lethargy and putting themselves in readiness for the coming battle. We have the best and most reliable Democracy in the state, and though they sometimes appear lukewarm or indifferent during the campaign, they make it a rule to do their duty on election day. They are little singular in another respect- very few exceptions every man who calls himself a Democrat and participates in the Democratic primaries, feels in honor bound to support the regularly nominated candidates of the party with the utmost integrity. And as a rule the few exceptions of which I speak, are men who have fattened upon the suffrages of the Democratic party, and have come to think: they really own the party, and are badly disgruntled whenever they cannot dictate all nominations and have everything their own WAY.

The chances of Mr. Sipe for re-election appear to be growing brighter every day. A montli or two ago I could hear of an occasional disappointed Democratic officeseeker, who WEE to vote against Mr. Sipe in consequence of disappointment, but this, 88 I 'can learn, has mostly disappeared, and the very men who were disposed to do so for this cause, seem to have discovered the bad policy, and injustice of it, and have resolved to stand by the nominee of the party. Again, the old soldiers of the county very generally entertain a high regard for Mr.

Bipe, because of his marked kindness and prompt attention to their wants and Interests. Besides this, Mr. Sipe is personally liked by our people without respect to party. He Is looked upon as a straightforward, frank and highly companionable man, who entertains a high regard for the people of Greene county generally, while the exact reverse of this is true in regard to his opponent, Mr. Acheson.

It is my belief, therefore, that there are many Republicans of the more conservative and thoughtful class, who will vote for Mr. Sipe and that he will run considerably ahead of his party ticket in Greene county. P. CHAS. A.

O'BRIEN'S VIEWS. He Thinks Sipe's Prospects Most Encouraging. Attorney Charles O'Brien, of Pittsburg, who is managing Mr. Sipe's campaign, is hopeful the latter will win out He la conducting aggressive contest, and 19 a very busy man these last days of the In speaking or the matter was thought at the time was nominated, that the prospect his election- wan tery poor; and there great deal of throughout the district. among those who had supported him that would militate against: his success; but many things have: occurred: since then to give assurance not only that his canvase is not hopeless, but also that there are reasonable expectations of a repetition of his victory of 1592.

dis. satisfaction as may Have existed in some portions of his district has been appeased, and the candidate is receiving the hearty support of all his Democratic constituents. In fact, the nearer we approach election the more the true party spirit appears, and the Democrats, whatever their Jifferences may have been, see the necessity of making their best effort to hold the district for the incoming congress. and they are doing noble work in the diatrict. "Acheson, who has been foisted on the Republicans for the second time against their will, is necessarily weaker than he ever was, and is certainly no more acceptable now to those who refused to support him in 1892 than he was in that year.

He has placated none of his ancient enemies, and has made few friends since he went down two years ago under a crushing majority. "We have every reason at this time to belleve that the success of Congressman Sipe, in his present campaign, is well assured, and that the Twentyfourth district will be represented by good, straight Democrat in the Fiftyfourth A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

WHAT LABOR LEADERS SAY. Crowd Going to Fairmont Saturday to Help Wilson. IN THE LOCAL POLITICAL FIELD. It all the facts were known, there are legions of workers in the iron and steel trades in this section who are not the high protectionists they are commonly supposed. The men take 8 practical view of the matter, and in considering the results of the Democratic tariff reform, and, comparing the conditions before and after, are beginning to see plainly that the new tariff law is not going to produce the evils predicted by the manufacturers, who a portion of their enormous profits lopped off.

Thie was illustrated by discussion at the headquarters of the Amalgamated association yesterday. "The Republicans are doing a very bad thing In sending John Jarrett into West Virginia to speak against Wilson," said labor leader. "Jarrett In the early 80g was president of the Amalgamated assoclation. He is now the agent of the manufacturers, and is employed to work the interests of the very men whose cause he espoused years ago. Under such circumatances, how can the voters of West Virginia swallow what hie.

says? The Republicans are making very feeble attempt to advance. their Interests by sending Mr. Jarrett bolster up their cause." "The truth of the matter is, the Wilson bill isn't half as bad as people said another. "La It not fact that no reductions in the iron and steei trades have taken place that can be attributed tariff, barring the subject of tin plate?" was asked. "It is true." "And not the case that the workers.

had assurances from the manufacturers after the schedule was known that reductions were not necessary?" "Yes," was the reply. "The tin-plate were the only ones that requested any reduction, and as that is not deserved, we don't mean to allow it. their own admissions they had clean profit of $20 per ton before the passage of the new bill." For those who destre to go to Fairmont, W. next Saturday, to participate in the Wilson meeting, the Baltimore Ohio has made a rate of $2 for the round trip. The tickets are good returning on Sunday.

Many times women call on their family phyAvians, suffering, as they imagine. one from dyspepsia, another from heart discase, another from liver or kidney disease, another with pain here or there. and in this way they all present to their easy-going doctor, separate diseases, for which he prescribes. assuming them to be such. when, in reality, they are all only caused by some womb disorder.

The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications.
