BEAUTIFUL WURUS
OF TRIBUTE
Paid to Memory ol Late
Senator Elkins by Hon.
G. W. Atkinson.
Beautiful in sentiment and ten*
dej with words of tribute to the
memory of a life-loug friend is
the eulogy which former Governor
George Wesley Atkinsou has
written regarding the death of
Senator Stephen B. Elkins. Sena
tor Elkins aud ex-Goveruor At
kinson who is now judge of the
court of claims at the national
capital, were the warmest of
friends. The de°p regret that is
evidenced in the touching remem
brance by ex-Goveruor Atkinson
is that which i9 felt by hundreds
of the personal friends of the de
ceased statesman. The eulogy is
as follows:
“Senator Elkins is no more.
He has gone from the throng of
the living to miugle with the
millions that have gone before.
When a king is deturoned his
subjects rejoice, but when a gr^at
man dies the people mourn. A
tall cednr has fallen, and gloom
prevadee, not on'y the state ot
West Virginia, but the natiouas
well, because hie fame was nation
wide. His suu weut down soon
after it reached the zenith and
began receding toward the west.
Wheu it settled beyond our vis
ions, darkness fell upon thous
ands of adminng and devoted
friends. It was God’s will, not
ours, that hiB sun should set be
fore due evening-tide had come
He could not prevent its setting,
nor could his friends prevent it.
All we could do was to stand and
watch and wait. We stood until
the light went out, while he met
the issue as only the strong and
brave aud great could do. We
believe a new and brighter sun
arose beyond the setting of his
earthly life. We believe that
death does not end all.

man in early life, and was scarce

REPUBLICANS RESENT !
VMS ATTACKS
Made on Their Party by
State Democratic
Press.
Charleston, W. Va., Jan. 13.—
The vioious and unwarranted as
saults made by Democratic* newspa
pers upon the position taken by the
tifteen Republican senators is
strongly resented by the latter, and
by all Republicans who are ac
quainted with the situation and w ho
know* the motives which have m >ved
the'Republicans to their present po
sition.
The truth it that the Republicans
are not Hghliug for political advant
age as much as they are to preserve
the integrity of the senate and to
wan! of! the political assassination
contemplated by the Democratic
senators. The Democrats, in order
to carry out oertain cherished plans
well matured soou after the results
of the November election became
known, formulated the program
which has since been attempted.
I hey worked surreptitiously and
with great cunning. They contest
ed M. Z White, who had 10,001)
votes, with an opponent who had
but one vote and w-ho w;m not a can
didate. The notice of this contest
was not served upon Senator White
until the last day allowed by law.
The Democrats tried to take every
advantage | ossihle in the institu
tion and prosecution of tho contest
•against Mr, llearne of Ohio county,
withholding service until the last
minute.
It is entirely clear that they in
tende 1, by foul means or fair, to
o'ifct both \\ bite and llearne in or
der to get poss. s-don of the senate.
1 hey have rejected many fail and
liberal propositions submitted by
the Republicans, and w ill treat for
peace on no basis that does not prej
udice and absolutely jeopirdize the
rights of the contested Republican
senators.
It is to avoid this outrage ot the
ballot and to prevent the passage of
laws which would be highly inimi
cal to the future of the Republican
party that the Republican senators
have taken their Hrm stand to up
hold the constitution of the stale,
the rights of their party and the in*,
tegrity of the senate body.

DEMOCRATS WANT
TO LORD IT OVER
Their Republican Breth
ren In the State Senate.
Still Deadlocked.
The state senate at Charleston ia
•till dead locked and there seems
hut little likelihood of the two par
ties getting together iu the upper
house in the immediate future. Each
party has submitted propositions
and each protocol has likewise been
n jected.
1'he Democrats seem to have the
temporary advantage, inasmuch
should the senate be orgwiized a
Democrat would be called to the
chair as president. This would per
mit him to name all the committees
and thus place that party in com
plcte control. Then the Democrats
have contests on which they desire
decided before the senate is organ
ized. Hie Republicans claim this a
ruse in order that some of tho Re
publicans may be unseated, thus
giving the Democrats a majority in
both upper nr.d lower houses,
rhen the Democrat* would r di*trict
the sta'e to suit themselves.
I he situation is becoming acute,
inasmuch as the Democrats are is
suing warrants for the arrest of the
Republican members. Should an
attempt be made to serve the writs
it i- likely that trouble will ensue.
It is stated that a procedure of this
kind would be unlawful, as the law
making body is not organized
Then aga n, unless the Republicans
acquiesce immediately, the Demo
crats threaten to hold up all appro
priations lor salaries, etc.
1 be Republican senators say
tiny will go into session as soon as
they are assured of a square deal,
and to prove their contention have
marie the following fair proposition:
1. 'I list any contest against the
seat of any member of the senate
shall be rsferred in the regular
manner to the committee on privi
leges and elections.
2. That the Republican party
have the presi lent of the senate.
8. That the Democratic party
have the clerk of the senate; and
the Republican party have the chief
assistant clerk at the clerk’s desk.
4. That the Republican party
have the sergeant-at-arms.
{>. That the Democratic party
