TESERANCE is attracting much attention,
Showing Itself IN local option laws, societies,
crujadcs and restrictions upon liquor produc-
ton; but with al! these efforts, the consumption
is enormous, and. undoubtedly, the reason is
because there is nothing strenuously advocated
to relieve aud destroy tho craving Tor stlmu'
lants. But. if the disease was treated rational.

REMEMBER THE PRIMARY.

We desire to impress upon the Demo-
cratic voters of the city the very impor-
tsnt fact that candidates for City Coun-
ell arc to be nominated on to morrow
night. When we remember that it is
the members of the Council who levy all
the city taxes. and disburse them, and
that they build our streets, sewers, and
make all public Improvements, we at
once see the importance of e!eetlng gen.
tlemen TO that POSITION who are identified
with every possible interest of the city.
A good city government is something
that every man. be he rich or poor, has
an interest in. Our welfare and our
prosperity in the future depend upon the
character of the men whom We select to
be our city fathers. Wheeling has too
much at stake to permit the matter to be
treated with indifference, and every citi-
zen should make it his duty to give it
his personal attention.
We desire to see the city government
in the hands Of the Democratic party.
We feel confident that there are Demo-
Gratis in every ward in every respect
qualified for the position, and who will
take q deep interes. in whatever will
promote the welfare Of our city. There
fore we see 20 reason why these gentle
men should not be brought TO the front,
and make the sacrifice Tor the benefit OF
their constituency. There are no emoiu.
meu,s attached to the position OF council
man, but being one of great responsible
ity, it would be an expression OF conn
dence on the part OF the people to elect
sny one, and thus increase the honor.
We now appeal to every Democrat to be
out at the primary election tomorrow
night and elec. delegates to Mondays
convention who will give Us . ticket thai
will reflect credit upon the party and one
that will command the confidence OF tho
people, and then there Will be no trouble
about electing il.

WASHINGTON, January 81 A. NJ.

WASHINGTON, January 81 AN.
Special to the Register.
Senator Conkling's speech has been the
sensation of the past day in the capitol
1t has been generally understood for
sometime that Mr.. Conkling enter
tsined the belief that the count
ing of the electoral vote devolved
upon the two houses, and his short speech
yesterday confirmed it. He has a golden
opportunity to make lasting reputation
and he is not the man to let it slip.
Morton and the bloody shirt leaders are
highly incensed at Conkling. Wright
and Herman discussed the pepper mode
for counting the electoral vote, in the
Senate. Herman made temperate and
well timed argument.
Sayler's committee do not concede
South Carolina to Hayes. Whecler's
suggestion will be acted upon, and there
will be no compromise. Tilden and
Hendricks will: be counted IN.

The Bennett-May sessatisa-Rs-
mOrs ofR Duel.

New YORK, January 4.-The Graphic
says: In consequence Of an assault upon
the editor Of the Herald by Frederick
May, It is understood that Mr.. Bennett
has sent q formal challenge through n
friend 70 Mr.. May, and that be has lett
town with the intention OF lighting
duel with that gentleman. Ii is believed
that Mr.. Bennett made bis will before
leaving.
The Tr,>s, however, will tomorrow
publish the following: The reports 10
circulation about town yesterday, 70 the
effec that Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. May
had left the city for the purpose Of bght-
ing Il duel, are utterly without fouuds-
ton notwithstanding the assertions 10
the contrary Of Mr.. Bennet.s friends.
II may be said on most excellent author
ity that that gentleman was IN town last
evening, while Mr.. May was seen on the
street at Q O'Clock. II ccnnot be affirmed
with any degree Of certainty, however, that
hostile meeting between the two gen
tIemen will not occur. Do the contrary,
such an unfortunate result 10 m re than
likely.

Mr.. Bennett state that be has gone, or

ROSCOE CONKLlNG.

Mr.. CoNKLING has been heard from at
last, and it is qualification to know that
he has an opinion, even If it is not yet
known what that opinion is. When pre-
senting the memorial Of the New York
business men to Congress, yesterday. Mr..
CoNKLING delivered a short speech. He
regards the situation IS too critical and
the question too grave to be discussed in
partisan spirit, and thinks it the duty
of every citizen to rise above party in the
contest This is all true enough. He
thinks that the contest has been sub
mitted to the ballot for final srbitrsment
and all that is left to be done is to find
the honest and true result, to declare
it, bow to it and stand by it. That Is
all that the Democrats have
ever asked or ever proposed to
ask. While Mr.. CoSKLING fails
to express an opinion as to which oi::the
Presidential candidates is entitled TO the
count, yet it is evident from his srgu-
mert that he recognizes the right OF
Congress to find and declare the result,
and if he means anything by whs. h
calls "the honest and true result it is
the right of Congress to correct the
fraudulent returns Of the disputed South
ern States, and count in fILDEN and
HENDRICKS. His concluding sentence,
"whoever stands on wrong and falsehood
will be overthrown" is no; only astrue as
Heaven itself, bu: will answer for solu-
tion of the whole difficulty. HAYES
chances rest upon wrong and fslsehood,
and according to Mr.. CoNKLIsG's view,
they must be overthrown. Let Mr..
CoNKLIsG now stand to his record and
he will be found fighting side BY side
with the Democrats in their great bait le
for Right.
