better cared for than the Faris

lat Mr. Faris was an enemy to

DOVENER LEADS.
Odds of $100 to $75 Offered on l)ov
ener's Electlou.
There has been considerable
election betting about the city the
laso few days, most of it being
on the .result of the First district
The Dovener people seem to
haye the itost money, and it
went begging until they started
offering odds. Yesterday several
good bets were made, the majori
ty of them being odds of #100 to
190, and $100 to ISO. Several of
those at the latter figure were
accepted, but there still more
that could have been had. This
morning Dovener money at odds
of #100 to #80 was offered, but
the Howard people were slow to
take it up, but in a prominent
hotel one Dovener man offered
#100 to #75, and was at once
taken up. This seems now to
be about the odds necessary to
get a bet, and it is probable moi e
will be made. Many small bets
! at #10 even are being made, and
even in such small sums the
Dovener people are offering odds
of #10 to #9 aqd some even as
much as #10 tofcs: v-About, the
only bets Republicans do not care
to take is on the Second district
result. The #500 deposited by
Col. Statler, nor any part of it,
has as yet been covered to up
hold Mr. Cowan's statement.?

Everr Mau'i. Responsibility.
The voter who does not ap
prove of Democratic policy can
not in good conscience give it his
approval at the polls. Now that
he knows beyond quesjaop what
it brings about, he cannot longer
deceive himself. A man who
votes against liis convictions and
against his interests because he
finds it impossible to tear himself
away from a political organiza
tion with which he has acted, is
not the best type of American
citizen.
Elections are held in this
country to take the sense of the
people. They present the op
portunity to impress upon the
policy of the government their
opinions and their desires. The
man who votes for a policy which
he does not approve and trusts to
other men to secure for him the
policy he wants, does not apply
; to public matters ordinary com
mon sense.
There are to-day thousands of
former Democrats who do not
approve of the present policy of
the Democratic party and look
with strong disfavor on the fur
ther extension of that party, and
yet cannot bring themselves to
vote against the Democratic
party. They have resolved not to
vote at all. Believing they will
let other men save it for them.?

Wheeuno, W. Va..
Oct. 29.1894.
Sir:?The vile atteo.pt at slan
der that was sprung by a man
named Knapp, who made a weak
effort 10 swear that Stuart F.
Reed had seut a letter to the
Register, signed by a fictitious
name, fell very flat here.
A Register staff correspondent
read it and said if it were true
itwould not be forgery, as nearly
half the letters that come to the
Registerborefictitious signatures.
Again why did they not publish
the letter, if they had one?
Why did Kn^pp have to swear
that he simply heard that Heed
was the author? Hearsay is no
evidence in law. Why would
Reed write a letter damaging his
own reputation. This alleged
letter certainly would do that,
for it accused him of being a
Democrat.
Why has Reed not been ac
cused of this foul deed by the
Register years ago since they say
the letter was dated 1890? Since
that time, why has the Register,
together with all the other news
papers in the State, twice unani
mously elected Heed President
of the State Press Association,
an honor that,is only given to

Capt. B. B. Dovener, the First
district's next Representative in
Congress, spent last night in this
place. When it was learned that, j
he was here he was called upou
by a committee and escorted to I
the court house, where the
marching club was being organ
ized. All being anxious to hear
from the Captain, and the Tem
ple of Justice being uncomfort
ably crowded, a procession was
formed by the Four Hundred and
a march ordered to the Opera
House, where he made a short
but excellent speech, which was
loudly and frequently applauded.

OBITUARY.
So ioon to the really serious hpppflli
pass from our attention that
life oonaolentiously and endeavor to
"do all things unto God" have a good
model,in our young friend H irschel
Wadsworth. He felt that he was Hi*
steward whose duty was to give Him
muoh of his earnings and his soul ser
vice. Bo few really approach the
Christian standard in the way of self
sacrifice and oonsecrotion that it com
forts and enooorages the down-hearted
followers to think over the life of this
yonng man, one o( God's noblemen.
For years he expected to enter the
miailjtry, but was detained by his un
selfish devotion to the pecuniary needs
of dear friends, and only siooe his kind
spirit has left ni ia it learned that out
of his savings which were being set
?l*rtfor his education a share was
regularly given to the support of a mis
sionary to the Holy City. He had
Christ's spirit and it was. the conscious
presenoe of that spirit that made Hers
ohel's last siokness so calm and peace
ful. He had listened to his Father and
though in young manhood be laid aside
its ambitions and hopes, and as if an
old man full of years filled with service
waiting his reward, he mt t the last sum
mon. He was patient He was thought
ful of others. Months of suffering
sweetened bis soul and as the body de
cayed his taiutiful spirit manifeated
itself. jitllj
From bounding good health to
death's door was brought in a few
months, yet he trusted in his Father
who does all things well to those that
love Him. And who dares say that this
trust was misplsoed ? He stands in our
Jesus' presenoe. All the glories of a
redeemed soul that has come op
through great trial are his.
Dear Herschel has gone, bnt the in
fluence oI his kind, gentle nature, the
memory of his upright, olean character,
the impression of his thoroughly
Christian manliness will long remain,
Blessed are the pnre heart
For they shall see God. C. B.
Dovener, Hess, Harmer, Law
and Farris are all good men,
capable, honest, J rue. Vote for
eacK of them.
The indications are that the
approaching election will remove
New York from the list of doubt
ful States. The lead that Mr.
Morton now has cannot be lost,
no matter what electonal crimi
nalities the ruffians of Tammany
Hall may be successful in perpe
trating in New York City. The
New York Democracy is in des
perate straits, and none no bet
ter than the adroit and practical
politician who is, much against
his will, making the light of his
life. It is not a fight for the
Governorship alone; it is a mad
struggle for future political ex
istence.

Now that tlio public school baa re
opened and bright faocd boys and girla
are aeen wending their way thither we
are remined of a pale, earnest face that
is seen no more in their ranks.
On a balmy summer day, August :i,
1891. Morely Oriaa passed from earth to
heaven. Two weeks before the date
just indicated he was stricken with
fever and a constitution that had never
been robust had to anooumb in the
unequal contest, with the dread disease.
Be was extremely ill from the very
ntart and in spite of tender narsing and
the best medioal skill, death gained the
victory.
Uorley was born in Clarksburg, May
as, 1879, and bad just panned his 15th
year when called npon to lay down the
burden of lifo. The possibilities of life
cannot be oomputed and it seems sad
for one to be ont down when these
possibilities were just beginning to
dawn; yet
'"Tie not the half of life to live.
Nor all of death to die."
For a good part of his life Morley at
tended the Baptist Sunday school and
was regarded by his plsymates and
those who knew him best ss an excep
tionally good boy. The passages "Bless
ed are the dead who die in the Lord"
applies with eqnal force snd beauty to
those young men in His servioe as well
to the vetern Saint who hus borne the
heart and burden of the day.
In the beautiful Odd Fellows ceme
tery his body lie* wrapped in the long
and drawless slumber of death, waiting
for the golden dawn of that endlesa day
oal'.ed resurrection.
A fond mother. Mrs. Nannie Criss,
and a loving sister mourn their Iocs but
his gain. V.
Will some Democrat inform
the Telegram how our working
men are to procure cheaper cloth
ing. as the Democrats say under
free trade the price of wool will
be raised ? Who can.?
