West Virginia is destined to DO great manu-
featuring state. and her people are largely in
favor of protective tariff, hence they may
vote for q republican president.
The Maryland state republican convention
will meet at Hagerstown Thursday. No
state officers are TO be elected in Maryland
this year, and tho work of the convention
will be confined entirely to the selection of
four delegatos-at-larg to tho Chicago con.
vention. The supporters of Mr.. Blaine claim
that they baye carried most Of tho counties,
and that they will have large majority in
tho convention. A number of tho ablcst
republicans in the state, however, are of the
opinion that the convention will not impose
any instructions on its delegates but leave
them free to support that candidate who APP
pears to have tho best chance of carrying tho
country in the event Of his nomination.
There was time when tho Maryland
republicans had some hopes of carrying tho
state, but Gov McLane, by refusing to give
the minority representative in the board of
election supervisors for Baltim city, has
practically restored the old order Of things,
and caro- will be taken not to allow the
republican msiorities In the counties to over.
come the democratic majority in the city. 1t
would not be safe to figure out tho election
Of republican president by giving him the
vote Of Maryland.

but it is quito certain Minister West caught
tho spirit of tho communication aud tee-
graphod his government that it would DO safe
and proper to go on with the hanging, as the
mover of the resolution which had been
adopted by the house had assured him that it
was the merest buncombe, pushed through to
catch the Irish vote. Clearly, Mr.. Hewitt
should bolster up bis own record before he
can expect the public to place much conf.
dence in his attacks on others. 1t is entirely
unnecessary for any public officer to mako q

follow him through his devious windings.

Postal TelegrnphY.

The subcommittee Of the house committee
on postofices and postroads having under
consideration postal telegraphy met yester-
day to consider bill providing for a contract
system. The senate bill on that subject was
taken as a basis. A lengthy discussion was
INDUCED in respecting the maximum uniform
limit at which q contract should be made.
Some members Of the committee contended
that the uniform rate should be- fixed at
20.cents for twenty words, while others
held that 90 cents was too low to induce COM
petent corporations to compete for the con-
tract, and maintained that the maximum rate
should be at least 25 cents. The opinion is
expressed that the full committee will adopt
the latter figure.
The bill was not perfected when tho sub
committee adjourned, and definite action
was postponed until to-day.

TOMORROW the West Virginia republican
state convention will meet at Martinsburg,
This state sends eight district delegates to tho
national convention, some of whom have not
vet been selected. West Virginia is gener-
ally democratic, but the great dissatisfaction
of the people at the attempt made by
Gov. Jackson to compel the listing of prop.
erty for taxation heretofore supposed to be
exempt may possibly give the state to the
republicans. Tho prizo is worth fighting for
at least, and it ia the duty Of the convention
to nut up COED electoral ticket, and to pre-
pare for an active, aggressive campaign.

Among all American reformer5 Mr.. Garri-

of his life he espoused many causes. Among
them were peace, prohibition, abolition, non

crosses, no voting, no human government, no
meat eating, spiritualism, photo. spritism,

sion of tho northern statos, disunon, slave
holding lawful and constitutional. war to
sustain the union and constitution, no Sab
bath, no inspiration of the Bible, &c. His
notions were in chronic contradiction and his
career was one Of incessant recantations. The
key to it may DO found in the following
extract from letter written by him Aug. 30,
1928, to John Neal, editor Of the Ydnkee,
published in that paper and republished in
