reason why he should be elected Pres- c

The Democrats of West Virginia s
. are making their final grand stand n
play this year. They will not again, a
in many years, have a candidate for C
Vice President to use for bluffing pur- tl
poses, consequently, after the defeat
of this time, they will be crushed completely
and abandon all hope of ever ?
nMin frainini* the nsrendenev b
David B. Hill in 1S94, rhen United '5
States Senator from New York, in a
. , Ispeech in the Senate, said: "No PresY
- ident can be above his party; no
President can change his party's
^-platform." Therefore Judge Parker
' Xcannot change his party's platform,
Which ignores the gold standard. Ah,

WEST VIRGINIA DOU8TFUL.
THere is a feeling nowhere in West
"Virginia, but among some few people
outside of the State, that on account
of the -candidacy, of Henry G. Davis
it will go Democratic. If such people
knew Mr. Davis as West Virginians
know him they would at once change
their minds. There is not nor never
was anything brilliant about him, and
why any Republican would want to go
out of his way to vote for the ordinary
old man is something we cannot understand.
Some of Mr. Davis' Republican
neighbors may compliment him
with their votes?may do so for personal
reasons alone?but his ability
and fitness for the Vice Presidency
will not attract any one to his support.
We doubt if be will receive the
full support of his party, because
many Democrats know that his great
age as well as lack of ability make
hint unfit for the high office for which
he has been nominated. What we
have said above was prompted by the
recent remark of the Pittsburg Disnnr
Strife i? rlnniilfill cm OC
count of Davis' 'candidacy. The Morgantown
Post .replied to this, giving
the best of reasons for believing, as
we do, that. West Virginia will remain
in the Republican column by a substantial
majority. The Post said:
"The Dispatch is in error, however,
in saying that West Virginia is a
doubtful State. It is as certain to
vote for Roosevelt as Ohio or Illinois.
A great part of West Virginia's population
has faith in (he ability of Theodore
Roosevelt to do the right thing
at the right, time. They have felt the
effect of his administration for three
years and are well satisfied to let
him continue for another term. There
is too much at. stake now. according
to the Republican view here, to permit
of experiments.
"If Roosevelt is elected millions of
capital will be invested in West Virginia
railroads, coal and timber lands,
in coke production, and in many
forms of manufactures. The State is
now third in quantity of coal produced,
and with greater railroad facilities
will take rank second only to
Donnc,.lT.9n^ T'no W.U'.Uno- ^ f ll.npD
new roads and the extension of
branches to the older roads, with the
opening of the coal and timber lands
lepend upon favorable financial coalitions
and public confidence in the
stability of the policy pursued by the
Republican party in relation to the
ariff, the currency and the banking
system. The business interests are
nenaced and intimidated by the mere
possibility of a change in these policies
by Democratic success. No busiless
man wants a change. Conditions
cannot be improved, and will certainy
be made less favorable by Democratic
success. This is well understood
by ever>r thoughtful voter in
his State, and that is why West "Virginia
is not doubtful, and can be conidently
counted to vote by 25,000 maority
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks."
TTncle Henrv CI. Davis, savs the
'arlsersburg State Journal, started
he white man's government idea roll- ,
ng along in West Virginia and now ,
an not stop it. It plagues him every .
lay and annoys the Northern Demorats,
but Uncle Henry might as well
ry to close up Niagara Falls with a ,
ake of chewing gum as to shut the
notiths of such men as George Byrne ,
nd Jaclc Alderson on this subject i
rith gentle protestation. One of the ,
nost sensible utterances, adds the ,
itate Journal, we have noticed in
onnection with the question in West
Virginia, is in the Parkersburg News,
.s follows":
"Every other Democrat one meets
in the highways and in the byways
tas a different oninion as to the nar
y's position on the negro question.
Seeing the harm that the party has
lone to itself in West Virginia and
)ther Northern States, they are tryng
to smooth the matter over and
get by' as. easily as possible.
"There is only one position that ]
he Democratic party has on the nejro
issue: It is everlastingly and eterlally
opposed to the negro having a
*ote, a free school, a church or any- ;
hing else that might tend to edu- '
ate and civilize him. Their position ]
s the result of passion and prejudice
arried to a frenzy that, does them
ore harm individually and collectively
than it does the members of j
he race at which it is aimed.
"The nesro question is a question, ,
s the incoming hordes of immi- t
rants is a political problem. But <
he negro question must and will be
ettled by patriotic American states- <
tansliip and not by 'bloody hands i
nil bullets.' as George Byrne, the ,
harleston radical, would have it set- f
ed." 5
Come to think of it, four years
f the Presidency would look like a
ig thing and really enough, to a man
s far away from it as Judge Parker '

Refrigerators, new and modern, at b
ctual cost, by H. F. Leonard. "We 1
eed more room. x p
' how we are judged.
A man is judged by the company
| he keeps; it is the same way witl
States. West Virginia has been go
ing in the very best society, polit
icaiiy speaking, for the past ten years
and this talk about our going back tc
our non-progressive associations is
really embarrassing Let us reasbri
a little .together. Take the States
which are conceded to be' surely Dern
ocratic and those which are safely
Republican. Not a single State north
of Mason and Dixon's line is counted
as certainly Democratic, merely the
"Solid South" .and no more. What a
galaxy of Stares is conceded to be in
the Republican column?Ohio, Pennsylvania,
California, Kansas, Iotva,
Michigan, Minnesota, the Northwestern
and New England States and others,
all of which keep abreast of the
times in progress and development.
If the voters in West Virginia realise
what it means to keep in line with
the magnificent States just named,
this year will be the last that the
State will have to endure the opprobrium
of being doubtful, with the in
ference that we shall again join ourselves
to ihe "Solid South."
A !_iar That Deserves Hanging.
Parkersburg owes it to herself as
well as to the public generally to rid
herself oi 'he fiendish newspaper
ghouls who send out. fakes from there.
The matter has gone so far that, little
credence is given anything appearing
in outside papers under a Parkersburg
date line. As long as these fakirs
confine themselves to harmless
snake stories and the like nobody
cares so much, but when it comes
to fiendishly misrepresenting the
words pronounced by one of the city's
prominent ministers over the dead
body of one of her respected citizens
and thereby injuring the tender feeling
of bereaved ones it is time to call
a halt.?.Moundsville Herald.
.The above accounts for the Whitaker
story which emanated from the
said city of newspaper liars?with
apologies to the News and State
Journal, they never send out anything
but gospel truth. It keeps the
West Virginian busy trying to hold up
Fairmont's good name, for everything
the Parkersburg liar sends out is
given greater impetus by some of his
friends here.
When the Republican nominee for
governor. Mr. Dawson, returned to his
home from the Wheeling convention,
ten thousand of the populace of j
Charleston, without regard to polit- i
ical convictions, turned out and ten
dered him a rousing non-partisan re- ;
ception. In his address to his friends j
and neighbors political discussion ;
was entirely eschewed and the affair i
was rendered most enjoyable by rea- j
son thereof. Monday night half a j
rhousancl of Charleston people and ;
visitors turned out to greet candidate j
Cornwell. More than half of the mim- j
ber were Republicans who wanted to j
show a proper spirit on the part of j
the citizens. In the introductory j
speech of W. E. Chilton, in the ad- |
dress ?>f Candidate Cornwell and in
all the speeches which followed all
the speakers dealt in the most extravagant
abuse possible for words to
express of the Republican party. There
was cpneral remark that wnar was I

been marred by the intemperate discussions
which followed.?Charleston

Aged Lady Dead.
M;ss Gilley S. Stillwell, aged
eighty-two years and one month, died
last night at twelve o'clock at the
home of her nephew, O. S. Irvin. on
Maple avenue. Miss Stillwell had
been suffering from a stroke of paralysis
for the last two. years. She
bad been a consistent member of the

An Appeal to the Record.
The history of financial legislate,
tion in America can be; summarised
s into the very brief statement that the
- Republicans have advocated and the
-- Democrats opposed every act of Iegis:
, lation calculated to perfect the sys)
| tea which now- obtains The conseni
stis of mature Republican judgment
t has been right. The consensus of
> opinion of the Democratic party has
- been wrong usually. The Republi
can party has made mistakes and
i rectified them. The Democratic par!
ty has made - mistakes and insisted
upon repeating them.
The National banking act was a
Republican measure, calculated to redeem
the country from the evils of
wildcat banking. The measure was
opposed by SO per cent, of the Democrats
in Congress and is to-day opposed
by a very large number of
them, in spite of the time test of its
merits. In "1SS0 the Democratic platform
declared the issue of National
bank notes unconstitutional and so
recently as 1000 the platform demanded
the substitution of Government.
notes or silver certificates for
ban): notes as rapidly as possible.
Every Republican in Congress
voted for the resumption of specie
payments and every Democrat, against
it; and a Democratic House, in 1S77.
passed a bill for the repeal of the resumption
act. A majority of the
Democrats* voted against the bill to
repeal the silver purchase act, and.
only 12 Democrats voted for the establishment
of the gold standard,
while 17S voted against it. The Republicans
in 1SSG and 1900 and 1904
declared for the gold standard, in
their party platforms. The Democrats
declared for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver in 1S96 and in 1900,
and remained silent on the subject in
their platform of 1904.
That, in brief, is the record and yet "
the Democratic party comes up and
asks the voters of the country to intrust
the desrinies of the Nation to
its unsafe hands and its uncertain ,
policies on a question that concerns
the welfare of every American. It is
like asking the owners of a vessel,
freighted with valuable cargo.
! steaming strong in a known current
I with a trained pilot, to surrender it
' to an unskilled pilot and untried
crew.
it appears that C. E. Mauley has
abandoned the idea of running for
sheriff, as certain Democrats, who C
are supposed to be friends of his, ar^e
at work on another slate. For the
two most important offices?sheriff
and prosecuting attorney?(Jlem L.
Shaver and Scott. C. Lowe, have been respectively
agreed upon. The former
has been in training for some
time for prosecuting attorney, and it
was a surprise to many when it was ?
learned that he had been switched to
a different place. It is not known
that Mr. Lowe has been looking for
any position, most persons believing
that he is fully aware of what is in ~
store for the Marion Democracy in
the coming month of November. The
latest movement indicates that about' ^
all of the Democratis know what is go- _
ing to happen this year, and that
therefore they have decided to nominate
any kind of a ticket, and make
a bluff with the object simply of
keeping up an organization. DEATH

MAN IN MINERS' ORGANIZATION

CUMBERLAND. Aug. 12.?James ?
Zelinskitlie, National organizer of
;he U. M. W. of A., who has been assisting
in the management of the
strike in the Meyersdale field since
it started in December, dropped dead
yesterday. He was an inveterate
smoker of cigarettes, rarely being T
without a lighted one in his mouth,
and the doctors attribute his death
to this habit. He was considered one
of the most valuable men in the ?
miners' organization.
3. E. Fletcher Dead.
Mr. B. E. Fletcher, a popular and
highly respected citizen, died last
night of Bright's disease at his late R
residence near Thoburn, this county. ~~
Mr. Fletcher was sixty-four years
of age and was a consistent member
of the Baptist church of Thoburn.
He leaves a wife and three children
to mourn their loss, namely,
Richard Fletcher, of this city, Mrs.
Cleorge Nichols and Mrs. Lee L. Door.
Funeral services will be held at
his late residence Saturday morning p
