The West Virginia Freeman in an Ill
humored article criticizes the REGISTER s
remarks on the prohibition folly in which
we undertook to show that the Democratic
party would not attempt to force Prohibl-
ton upon the people, The platform Of the
Democratic party is against prohibition and
the record of our candidate for Governor,
Mr. WILSON, is also against it, having voted
in the Legislature against its submission.
The Freeman says:
The REGISTER is. in favor Of forcing
things however, when it comes to forcing
the murderous saloon business into the
many protesting communities Of the State. "
The REGISTER is not in favor Of anything
Of the sort. The REGISrER fsvors letting
things stand just as they are, leaving to
each community its local option" to de
eide whether it viii have prohibition or Ii
cense. That is the law now and we are in
favor Of enforcing the law. 1t is the Free
man and its cranky followers that want to
60 into the forcing business.

Where Brains and Honesty Have Lifted Us

tNdFtcstON 1thtS.
The Wheeling REGISTER has been kick
ing out of the traces again. We fear that
the REGISTERS audacity, evidenced By dar
ing to have opinions of its own in spite Of
the disapproval of Jake Jackson and his
Pinafores at the State House, has worked q
forfeit Of its title to organship Of the State
Democracy. That, indeed, is what Jake
and his Pinsfores think. The refractory
organ now has the presumption to think
that there can be something more to the
peoples interest than the election Of any
particular man to the Governorship. II
says I'VE hope soon to see smoke belch,
ing from all the factories and furnaces in
he city. That's the kind of political ex.
element now most needed. We would
rather see that than be Governor" Then
sgain the facile REGISTER has had
the boldness to be candid with
its readers in analyzing the
political situation in New York, and to &C.
knowledge before the election that there is
such thing possible as the failure Of the
party in disputed field. This no well reg,
ulated party organ would do; but there are
instances in which brains and honesty have
lifted journals out Of the rut Of mere blind
organising, and elevated them into the purer
and better atmosphere of intelligent indie
pendence and dignity, The REGIsrER says
again: five are defeated in the Presidency
again this year, it viii be by treachery in
New York, as usual. 1t is disheartsning to
faithful Democrats Of other States who labor
and toll in the performance Of their duty to
have the fruits of their work snnulled by the
trading scoundrels Of Sodom. We move
that John Kelly and Charles A. Dana be
abolished"

The Charleston Times says; There are
quite a number of prominent Democrats
in Kanawha who will vote for BLAISE
and LOGAN on account of the Free Trade
procEvities of the Democratic party.
Among those may be noted such well known
men as the three THAYER brothers, Jos,
WILLIAM. and OTIS, Major NICHOLAS Frrz-
HUGH. MAYRE RUFFNER, the TRUSLows, and
Captain JOHN 5. SWAMI. This is very sig
ni6cant as showing the importance attached
BY these substantial citizens and life long
Democrats to the necessity Of protection

iron interests of West Virgins. But while
significant, II is not necessarily controlling

GINA by safe majority, Notwithstanding

THE DOTTED CANDIDATE.

ANY one who has carefully and impartial
ly followed Ben BrrLER's recent political
utterances must come to the conclusion that
the old man is in his dotage. There is none
of the vim and snap that used to character
ize his political speeches and essays. In
stead, there is an incoherent disconnected
string OF pla.itudes and impracticable prop
ositiors. 1t is so with his Chicago speech,
and any one who compares his recent letter
with his famous speech in the JOHNSON i'm
parchment trial will see a fearful letting
down of intellectual vigor No one ever
accused BUTLER of being a good man, but
all conceded his intellectual greatness. For
nearly half a century he has impressed his
individuality upon the country. He has
stood prominent figure in our political
history and has left the imprint of his Wig
orous intellect upon our judicial pages. He
made all unique record of executive ability
in the office of chief magistrate of the COM
monwealth of Massachusetts,. He has be-
longed to all parties and has affiliated
with all sects. He has been
a paradox in politics, and religion.
The most bloated monopoEst of the day he
poses before the country as the champion of
labor and anti-monopoly ideas. Notwith-
standing his paridoxical and inconsistent
attitude it is fact beyond controversy that
he has the supreme confidence of the classes
whom he affects to lead. In this respect he
is a power in the politics of the country. II
he exerts the influence he can WELD on the
side of the better interests of society, it will
not be because Of a natural disposition to
DO so, for his nature is Ito do evil and that
continually" but it will be because of some
selfish motive. All the faculties Of his
great intellect have been energetical-
" devoted to his own individuality.
He knows no creed higher than BUTLER
and no principle of paramount Importance
10 Butlerism. That is why in the tortured
imagination of decsyed intellect he thrusts
himself so prominently before the country
to-day. In the dotted condition of his mind
he conceiyes that he is an absolute necessi-
ty to the maintenance of the government.
He imagines himself to be the foundation
stone ofour government and that while the
builders continue to reject him the time
must come when he is to be the head Of the
corner. The fires Of his intellect have
long since burned out, and the smoldering
embers alone remain. And what is sadder
than sH, the once great editor of the New
York Sun has fallen into a more helpless
dotage than BUTLER.

A SUGGESTION THAT SUGGESTS,

Arbitration is an accepted mode of set
ting disputes. 1t is in daily practice
among ordinary itigants and has been
adopted by nations We therefore respect
fully suggest that Board of Arbitrators be
appointed to whom shall be referred all the
scandals of the campaign, and that, by
mutual consent, neither political party shall
refer to them until the Judgment Of the ar
bitration court be rendered. Let the court
take up the HALPIN scandal against Mr..
CLEVELAND and after a full and fair hear
ing adopt Mr.. CLEyELANDs maxim and
tell the truth" Then let it take up the
Kentucky scandal against Mr.. BLAINE and
treat it in the same way. And then follow
with an investigation of the Mulhgau let
tiers. These letters have never been given
to the public We have only seen copies Of
them, for when Mr.. BLAINE used them in
his defense in the House Of Representatives
he did not send them to the clerks desk,
according 10 usual custom, to be read, but
he held them in his hand and read them
himself. Neither were the original let
tiers furnished the Public Printer in
making up the Congressional Re
cord. but copies made by Mr..
BLAINE were sent. Suspicious people are
now inquiring if true copies were published
did BLAINE read every scrap and scrimp'
ton" Of them, or whether he might not
have omitted vital words and phrases Mr.,
BLAINE declared his purpose to keep the let
tiers "for defense against his enemies in the
future" The time has come when he needs
that defense. He can never be candidate
for any higher office than that he now
sspires to. People are now charging him
with deception and talsehood in the publ
cation of the MULLIGAN letter. Fortunately
for Mr.. BLAINE the Mr. MULLGAN who is
interested in the correspondence is stillaive
and can readily appear as witness to say
whether the copies that have been given out
correspond with the original letters. What
a splendid opportunity there would be for
Mr.. BLAINE to appear before the Board Of
Arbitration and vindicate himself
But, we are met with the inqairy-how
is the Board to be constituted so as to be
satisfactory to all parties2 Nothing easier.
Let Mr.. BLAINE select one arbitrator, Gov.
CLEVELAND one, and these two name the
umpire. We respectfully make this sug-
gestion to the Democratic and Republican
managers with the hope of relieving the
campaign from gOodfeal Of bad odor.
And in addition, if there is any question
about Withdrawing candidates, the decision
of the Arbitration count would form good
basis to figure on as to what candidates
ought to be withdrawn.
