KINGWOOD, WEST VIRGINIA FRIDAY, sEPTEMBEB /

THE conference called to meet at
Grafton next Monday, the 4th, with
the view of healing and harmonising
the dissentions growing out Of the
HoGE-LUcAs cont est, will have
matter OF no little difficulty and DEL
lcacy to deal with. The bitter feel
ing of antagonism existing between
the respective trends Of these gen
tlensn, renders the withdrawal Of
both absolutely essential to the cafe.
tY and success OF the Democratic
party in the District.
Assuming then that both are out
Of the way and the field clear, who
Is to be the candidate, ana from
where and how is he to be chosen {?
AS the demand for the with
drawal of Messrs. LUCAS and HoGE
was rendered peremptory from hay
ing been made in the name and in
terest OF party harmony and success,
so likewise is the demand rendered
peremPtoiy that the selection of a
third man shall be made subordi-
nate and subservent to the same
ends. Certainly the choice must no,
be made from amongst the partisan
friends or adherents of either OF tie
retiring candidates, and it is even
questionable whether it would be
wise or prudent to make it from
their end of the District.
as TO how a new candidate is To
he placed in the field, we apprehend
there IS but one way, and hat is tc
call convention for the purpose
Under the circumstances it would
doubtless be proper for the State
Executive Committee to issue a call
for new convention. What the
occasion and emergency demand is
that all claims of men and Of section,
be brushed aside, and the Demoe-
racy of the Second district be piver
a new and a fair deal-free and una
trammelled.

A CANADIAN Bishop has issued a
manifesto against tho prevailing
fashion Of banging the hair, and one
Of his grounds is that in the general
frizziness Of leInininiiy it is impos-
sible TO tell mistress from maid. To
our democratic mind the question
suggests itself as to why any very
great distinction is necessary. 1t is
all very well, Of course, to know just
who one is preaching to aud who che
isreceiviDg, but even Bishop ought
10 be able to distinguish the lady
from the lady's maid without having
TO refer to her bangs.

SENATOR HARRIS, Of Tennessee,
thinks that The tariff will be the
most important issue in the next
Presidential campaign. The Demo
cratic plank on the subject in 1880
was too vague. he saye. Had he
written The clause he would have
made it read: "a tariF for revenue
only, and protection within the
standard Of revenue" He believes
that the Democrats will make
square fight on the question in 1884.

A rArnEr1c CIV Of distrass co,

A PATHETIC cry of distress comes
from the CAMERON camp in Penn
sylvania. The venerable SIMON
CAMERON, father at once Of DoN and
the machine, sends forth q de7pair-
iDg wall to the Republicans TO
spare both from destruction. This
Is as natura! as it is touching. The
senior CAMERoN spent The greater
part OF his life in building up a
perfect machine and in educating his
son 10 the secrets Of its management.
at last he brought his work 30 near
perfection that he ceased bis own Ia
bors and put bic son in charge. The
machine was 70 finely constructed
that even under the sons uuskilful
and often reckless control it con-
tinued to do it's work acceptably for
many years. But rough usage has
told upon it at last, and with many
creak il is now nearing the end Of
its service. When the machine goes
down its driver must 20 with it, aud
how could the inventor and builder
be expected TO view this double ca
tsstrophe otherwise than in sorrow ?
The tone of the fathers cry is the
strongest testimony Of the depths Of
his griet and the size Of the revolt.

A Cheap Railroad Trip.

The cheapest railroad trip recently
recorded is that which some economical
person has just made from Detroit,
Mich, to this city, it having been &C.
complished in securely-locked freight
car. The car was loaded with lumber
at Muskegon and sealed by the customs
authorities at Detroit, and it was some
where between those points that the
traveller began his journey. The car
was six days on the road and laid an
other day at the Central Vermont
freight station here. The seals were
then broken and the car unlocked, and
before it was unloaded the tourist de-
parted without being observed by any
one. 1t was found that he had cut a
hole six inches in circumference in the
end of the car for ventilation and for
the purpose of observing the scenery on
the route; and the seven days had APP
parently been passed comfortably,
though perhaps somewhat monotonous-
". The traveller departed SO hastily as
to leave his baggage-which consisted of
valise containing quantity of cigars,
cigarettes, bananas, oranges, a six
shooter and two razors. Bennington
