Democratic issues never live to lie
four-year-olds.
The country is not yet ready to forget
the four years of Cleveland disaster
between 1S93 and 1S9T.
There are no surface indications
that the American workman wants
to extend his soup house experiences.
When Mr. Hill uncorks his man
Parker, there will surely be something
doing for a few minutes anyhow.
Voters are invited by the Republican
party' to study its record; the
Democrats earnestly hope thaf theirs
mav be forrrotten.
In the meantime subscriptions keep
coming in tor the Commoner and Mr.
Hearst's nine dailies. It pays to advertise.
A prominent local Democrat made
the remark yesterday that he wanted
Parker nominated because Bryan
was so much against him. Surely,
Mr. Bryan has troubles of his own.
Democratic leaders are denouncing
Mr. Bryan for standing on the platform
of his party. There is no other
political organization in the world
that places a premium on desertion.
Democratic managers are now telling
what they expect their party to
do under wise leadership. It would
certainly be a novel experience to
the rank and file to find themselves
under wise leadership.
"The Democratic party is big
enough to write, its own platform, select
its own candidates and manage
its own campaign," shouts a Southern
paper. That is certainly a sign
of development and growth. The
Democrats have had the Populists attend
to these duties for the last eight
years.
The Democrats have no issues
worth the name and their candidate
will be about as magnetic as a wooden
Indian, so they will make the campaign
on personal abuse of President
Roosevelt. It may make them feel
better to work the invectives out of
their system, but Teddy can not be
hurt by their calumny.

[ CHAS. W. SWISHER.
Charles Wesley Swisher is Marion j
county's candidate for Secretary of ;
State. He will go before the State |
convention at Wheeling as the re pre- j
sentative of one of the best counties j
in the State, and as such he anticipates
a strong and substantial support.
But it is not alone because Mr.
Swisher comes from Marion county
that we have confidence in what the
Republicans will do for him, but he
merits their hearty support already
promised him and which he will surely
get. Charley Swisher is a hustler
in every sense of the word. He is
optimistic, always looking at the
bright side of things: generous to a
fault, he will do anything he can for
his friends and he is equally as mind- !
ful of his enemies. He was brought j
up on a farm, but rather early in his j
career he began driving a mule in a j
coal mine. Being active, energetic j
ami trustworthy, ne was rapiuiy an- ;
vanced. In time he became a pro- j
moter and developer of enterprises, j
He Is a natural leader of men in business
as in politics and it is no surprise
that he has succeeded ir\ both.
He is very popular in business and social
circles all over the State, and yet
he always remembers his friends who
toil on the farms and dig in the mines.
He began his political career as councilman
from the Fifth ward in Fairmont.
He was next elected to the
House of Delegates and later to the
Senate. His next preferment will undoubtedly
be his selection as the Republican
candidate for Secretary of
Oiaiu. .Viai JUU cuiinu^r.i.v -vpects
the nomination of Swisher, and
will go to the convention at*Wheeling
ready to do her part to get everything
in shape to carry West Virginia
for the whole ticket by at least 30,000
majority this fall. We count on
Marion for over one thousand of it.
3WISHER AND SCHERR.
Whoever is nominated at the
Wheeling convention next week for
Governor, it looks a certainty that
Senator Charles W. Swisher, of Fairmont,
will be nominated for Secretary
of State, and Auditor Arnold C.
Scherr will be nominated as his own
successor. The sentiment favorable
to these two aspirants can truthfully
be said to be almost unanimous. Senator
Swisher hails from a section that
is entitled to recognition and he. himself.
merits the honor that will be
conferred upon him. Senator Swisher
is a self made man?young man.
let it he remembered?who by the
force of his own indoxnnitable energies
and magnetic personality has
made a most successful career for
himself in business and in politics.
A few years ago he was a miner in a
coal bank at Fairmont; now he is
one of the States prominent and most
promising young business men and
influential public officials. ' Auditor
Scherr is acknowledged by all to be
the best incumbent of that office the
State has ever had. He is as sure to
be nominated next week at Wheeling
as anything can be sure in politics.
The sentiment favorable to him is
practically overwhelming.?Parkersburg
News.
In commenting on John Sharp Williams'
speech, the Wheeling News
touches a very tender spot. It shows
that Mr. Williams can tear clown but
is unable to build up. It says:
In one respect, however. Mr. Williams
was disappointing. He contented
himself with being a critic, and
confined his remarks too freely to answering
Root and discussing the Republican
platform. He did it well, but
he dul not offer anything definite in
return for the doctrines and policies
he denounced. He tore down the
structure reared by the Republicans
but did not build one to replace it. He
promised tariff revision and future
happiness to the Filipinos and general
honesty but he did not make himself
as clear and definite as he might have
done. In this no doubt he showed political
wisdoin for none knows exactly
what the Democratic platform will
be, and Mr. Williams does not propose
to precipitate, a conflict or to burn
his own fingers. Still he might have
ffivpn t hp pnnvpnfinn nn ni' what
his own views were on the subject,
unless it is that he is content to make
the issue simply anti-Republican.
In replying to Root and discussing
Republican shortcomings Mr. "Williams
rose to the level of statesmanship,
but in h.s failure to venture into new
fields he dropjted to the level of the
cautious politician.
We were just thinking a little, and
the thought uppermost is where can
a better man be found as a compromise
candidate for governor than the
editor of the Parkersburg State Journal?the
Hon. P. W. Morris? Mr. Morris
has every qualification for the
office. His nomination would be highly
acceptable to us, but it may be
said that he has been too active as a
tax reformer to be an available can- '
didate. This would probably be urged '
against him, but it would have no
weight among those who know him
and who know his worth. Mr. ^Jor- '
ris would be a safe man in the guber- '
natorial chair?safe to all interests?
and if the convention at Wheeling
next tveek shall wisely decide on a 1
"dark horse" candidate. Republicans I i
i
, -J'I'-'i S.v- .. t.- ... - - '
generally, it seems to us, would read- I
ily acquiesce if he should he declared
Its choice.
BRYAN REMAINS OBDURATE.
Issues Statement In Reply to Request
That He Support Parker.
ST. LOUIS, July G.?Eliot Danforth. j
accompanied by a number of -o'her j
New Yorkers, made a call upon the \
Nebraska delegation to-night and' pre-j
sented a formal plea for support of j
Judge Parker. Mr. Danforth address- j
ed the delegation at some length, say- |
ing that Judge Parker had supported
Mr. Bryan in both his campaigns, and
that he had been the second largest
contributor to the campaign fund in
New York. He also called attention
:o his own well-known friendship for
Mr. Bryan, and made a personal plea
on these grounds. Mr. Bryan, who
was present, responded to the latter
point, saying that if Mr. Danforth
tlic. A'ini!!f?n'o ti /j -.t-m t T r'l Vinvft l-i 4 ?
support.
Early in the evening "Mr. Bryan
;ave our the following statement:
"Judge Parker has made no substantial
gains, from those who were
counted as against him, since yesterday,
and the opposition has become
better crystalized. In so far as there
is any enthusiasm for Mr. Parker, it
is due to the belief that being the
choice of New York, he can carry the
State, and with the State, the country.
This confidence is being overcome
by the protests of the Democrats
of that part of New York which is expected
to furnish the Democratic
votes. While the opposition is not
centralized upon any particular candidate,
it is an aggressive opposition,
and likely to be recruited by accessions
from the instructed States when
it is seen that Mr. Parker cannot, be
nominated. The Hearst delegates
form the largest element of the opposition.
but Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin.
Massachusetts and Delaware have
canvassed their votes to find them
with it. and it will doubtless have
some scattering outside support.
"The Illinois contest, while it was
decided for the Hopkins ticket, was
really a victory for the contestants,
because it was decided on a question
of jurisdiction, and the contestants
now have behind them the unanimous
support, which declares, in effect,
that frauds were practiced in the convention.
The contest will be renewed
before the credential committee/'

ST. LOUIS. July 7.?The name of j [
Grover Cleveland, uttered merely in .
passing during tlie speech of John
Sharp Williams, was the electric
spark that touched off the magazine ,
of enthusiasm. For minutes this en- t
chusiasm continued. It may mean {
much or little but there are hundreds {
of delegates and spectators who believe
a final stampede to Cleveland
when the balloting is reached is not
beyond probabilities.
Dave Hill's face was a study during E
the demonstration. He looked as I
though he had swallowed' vinegar mistaking
it for syrup.
Their biggest outburst was reserved 1
for Grover Cleveland.
Mention of the Sage of Princeton
started a wave of applause that
spread until it covered most of the floor
and all the galleries. The people
on the high perches were especiallir
ontltticioofi'fi TVtov wavorl fane nrifl
stamped and yelled. Cries of Grover ^
filled the air.
Cleveland men shouted to Tammany
men to join in the demonstration,
but Tammany remained calm. (
