first shot missing, the second passing
through his cheek and entering his

didate for Governor, by the Republican
convention OF West Virginia Mr..
Stevenson is a Pittsburgher, and for a
nnumber of years carried on the cabi-
net making business on the corner of
Penn and Wayne streets, Fourth Ward.
He served one term in the legislature
from this county, and about 1859 moved
to Wood county, West Virginia, where
his energy, ability and sterling integri-
ty soon brought him into prominent no.
tice. When the rebellion broke out and
West Virginia repudiated the rebel
government Mt Richmond, Mr.. Steven
son was one of the most active in coun-
selling this course; and when the State
legislature met at Wheeling his pat
riotism received proper recognition by
his election as Speaker of the Senate
position which he filled for two or
three terms with marked dignity and
ability. In politics he has ever given
MS support to the party of progress.

SOME two months ago Democratic
member of the Second Branch of Coun-
ell. apparently impressed with the fact
that somebody beside the Finance
Committee ought to know something
about "where tine money goes" offered
resolution for the appointment OF
committee to examine the accounts OF
the Finance COMMITTEES and report
thereon to Council. a majority OF the
Second Branch, apparently concurring
In the same view, passed the resolu-
tion and Il went to the First Branch.
A minority of that body, being oil
opinion that the lax payers of the city
have no business to inquire what be-
comes OF the money the Democratic
administration of the city government
wrincs from them To the tune OF 100000
IA wear, refused to concur in the resolu'
ton. II was returned to the Second
Branch, which thereupon asked u Com
mItteo Of Conference, which was
granted.
Now, this resolution provided that
the accounts should be examined by
two Democrats, who could, doubtless,
DO safely entrusted with party secrets.
II seems not to have occurred to the
mover OF the resolution that common
fairness and propriety required that the
minority should be represented on The
Committee. But in the Conference
Committee it WAS not thought prudent
TO go even AS far Us the resolution pro-
posed. or it may have been under
stood from the first that the res 1lutIon
was only meant TO throw dirt in
peoples eyes. At any rate the Com
mittee on the part OF the First Branch
proposed to amend the resolution by |
striking ont the names OF the two
Democratic outsiders and substituting |
Finance Committee should be required |
to examine their own accounts! This,
