MHAr WE MANT-

In well-writlen article on State politics
the Grafton Standard makes use Of the fol-
lowing truthful language:
"Over the doors of the State Convention
should be written in letters of fire this in
scrip,ion: No demagogues need apply;
and every heart should be impressed with
the firm conviction that the crisis OF the
hour demands men whose deeds are their
encomiums, and who do not depend upon
selElaudation and selfpraise to bring them
selves into prominence.

West Virginia can not afford TO be party

port of the people The party has hereto

cause. The idea of great political party.
the dominant party in the State, too, pan
dering to every demsgogical whim that as,
serts itself is a ridiculous position to occu-
by. It's true policy is to have a wel-settled
declaration Of principles; a disposition, as
we'll rs the ability, to reform abuses that
arise within It's organization; purpose to
present as candidates none but men of high
character, pure lives, intellectual abilities
live, wide awake, aggressive men, who will
not sacrifice principle to tempOrizing
policy of expediency, and who will not load
down the party with cargo Of political
drummers and dead beats
1t is not necessary as the Standard init
mates, to take for q candidate the champion
of any particular class, for to do so would
be TO ignore all other classes. What we
want for q candidate is man whose states
mansbipis comprehensive enough to take
in all classes and their interests. Not a
man who would be the special friend Of the
farmer, or Of the miner, or of the working
man, or Of the merchant, or Of the railroads,
but we want men in office who will have the
general good at heart, who has wisdom to
understand the necessities of all, the ability
to protect the interests Of all, and sense Of
fairness to do justice to all That is the
kind of men We want in the executive, judi.
cial and legislative branches Of the Govern
ment.
When the delegates to the State Conyen-
ton meet here on the I'D day Of July it
should be with single purpose to put for
ward as the candidates Of their party, men
Ofpurity, ability, Eberafity, and varied and
extensive craftsmanship. If they do that

TIE ASSESSMENT QUESTION.

The Martiusburg Independent leading

Supreme Coart of the State upon the ques-
ton raised by the untimely orders of Gov

court We 90 farther We say if the
charges made by the Wheeling Iuteligencer
be true, and can be proven, then in that
event the Judges assaulted in the editorial
therein should resign or be removed. We
mean By this no personal offence nor any
contempt of court, and at the same time as
sert in our separate sovereignty as citizens
that courts can become objects Of contempt
as well as citizens. Ibis decision Of the
Court of Appeals was unnecessary. Il has

that neither makes justice in double assess

as well tax mans strength, without dis
counting it for rest or sickness, as to tax
mans farm, implements and stock and then
tax him for what he raises thereby. A
tailor invests thousand dollars in his bust

He has no chance at all Of being nominated,

MIR. Davis Political Integrity.

As we confidently predicted, Hon. d. u,
Davis. our former influential United States
Senator, fatty contradicts the authoritative
report that he intended.to support Blaine.
He saws he is for the Democratic nominees.
Mr.. Blaine is in close business relations
with Senator Davis, and is his warm per-
sonal friend, and Mr.. Davis son-inlaw,
Stephen B. Elkins, Republican, was his
chief political manager at Chicago, but Mr..
Davis will not sell
"The mighty space OF his great honor
for such reasons.
+ We regard it as impertinent to impeach
Mr.. Davis political integrity by such
charges.

Democratic principles.
