A VAST DIFFERENCE WHOSE OK is
GORED.

The Statesman makes lame excuse
this week for its unfairness towards the
Republican ticket. The editor knows
that he has done some worthy men on
the ticket great injustice. But there is
little consistency or honor in politics.
When the farmers and taxpayers OF Ber-
kelley rose up against the Governor 9 I'M
lust assessment of their exempted prop
erty, the Statesman said it was with them.
Now it is with Wilson, who as much as
saws that had he been in Governor Jack
sons place he would have done the same.
With Wilson the Statesman goes wild on
the proscriptive laws, though neither
of them can disproye the fact that VIII
son and other Democrats voted and
worked against the Flick amendment
We gave the record last week-legislative
journal, page and all. Because the DEM
ocrats were in the minority it is claimed
they were justified in voting as they did.
If men stand for principles they think
right, though all the world is against
them, they yield not an inch. Look up
your history on this point. Wilson is
raking up all the buried passions of the
war in this end of the State on the pro-
scriptive measures. while Judge Wood,
Democratic candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, in open letter
which we shall publish next week, says
he was in favor of those measures at the
time, has never had reason to change his
mind since, and stands by them to-day.
In the face of all these confictions in
their own party, would it not be we'll to
leave prejudice and ill-feeling lie mould
ering in their graves and stand upon the
merits of the men and the issues of to-
day. Losing or winning, the Republicans
have nothing to fear from the past or the
present; but as we have all to live and
work together after the election it would
seem reasonable not to engender more
bitterness than is necessary, for we all
have to abide by the voice Of the people,
no matter which party succeeds. There
is nothing that rankles longer in the
heart than unfairness in politics. In
every campaign there are reports started
intended to injure party. Now it is
that Cleveland will resign, next reports
of glaring immoralities, again importing
Democratic roughs into West Va, and
so onto all of which we gave neither
hand, the Statesman has caught at every
straw. This week it tries to show that
Miller feared defeat and wanted to with
draw. Miller will win and is working
hard, confident of success. We never
thought it honorable to note the reported
withdrawal of one of the legislative
nominees by the Democratic Executive
Committee, or the running with (out)
Lamon in certain contingencies. Such
things are beneath our notice and none
of our business. When a party, through
its representatives, dominates men, on
certain principles, thew stand or fall to-
gether and gain more credit by defeat
upon honest convictions, than by success
through unfair and dishonorable means.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

We regret to learn that few good
and honest Republicans have allowed
themselves to be influenced to oppose
some OF the nominees, to crafty per-
sonal ends, to the injury of the Re-
publican party of the county and
State. We know that these men
who are opposing the ticket, with
three or four exceptions, are good
and earnest Republicans from princi.
pie and whilst we do not desire to
interfere with the political rights OF
any man, we regret to see we'll mean.
ing men misled by designing persons
who are working secretly and under
cover to defeat the Republican tick
ct, and we urge and warn all who
desire the success of Republican
principles to beware of men who
will offer to sacrifice their party be
cause they we're beaten in a conven
ton of their party and especially
should you beware of the advice Of
any one who opposes the nomina
tions who was a delegate and help
ed to form the ticket. What do yor
think of man who will 60 into &
convention as delegate and be
cause he fails to nominate the MAJ
OF his choice he will bolt the ticket
Do you call that man Republican
Can you trust him? Is it not cleal
that such a man is willing to sacrifict
his party and everybody who doe,
not think with him. Will you a.
honest men allow yourself to become
followers of any man insane on the
subject of office-seeking and self
elevation Whatever you may do
You may rest assured that though
defeat may be brought upon oul

vive; it cannot be killed by treach
cry, and it will live to hold the trai
tors responsible Cor their acts.

Hon. Henry 4. Anthony, United
States Senator from Rhode Island,
who died suddenly Tuesday after
noon at his home in Providence, has
been a conspicuous figure in politics
for more than 80 years. Mr.. Antho-
ny was native of Rhode Island.
and was born in 1915. He gradua
ted at Brown University, and soon
after assumed editorial charge of
the Providence Journal, continuing
his connection with it to the day of
his death, both as an editor and
part owner. In 1S49 Mr.. Anthony
was elected Governor of Rhode Is
land, and reelected in 1850. He en-
tered the United States Senate in
1859, and has been member of
that body ever since, having entered
on his sixth term on the 4th of
March, 1888. Mr.. Anthony was
elected President of the Senate pro
tempore March 90, 1869, and was re-
elected March 10, 1871. Though not
brilliant speaker, Mr.. Anthony
was an intelligent and industrious
legislator, and exercised command
ing influence in the councils of the
republican party of which he was a
steadfast adherent from its birth.
Ii he had fully served out his fifth
term he would have had a tenure
equal to that of Thomas Ell. Benton.
As 1t Was he exceeded two of the
ongesttotal tenures NEXT to Benton's.
those OF Senators Summer and VIII.
son, the former by one year and the
latter by three years. He was by
much the senior in service of any
member OF the present Senate, Mr..
!Edmunds, the next in order of senior
10y, having been seventeen years in
the Senate.

which had been bitten by a rabid
dog. 1t is also said that several
mules on the plantation, which were
bitten by the same dog, exhibit
symptoms of hydrophobia.
