orable lives, have amassed fortunes,
acquired social and public distinc-
ton, but the political worm, gnaw-
ing for power and influence seems
never to rest when there is any
thing to feed upon. The result
is, the besmirching of character,
the exposure OF unclean linen and
the astoni shment of respectable
people that such men, on whom
they leaned with confidence, and
to whom they looked for counsel
and safety, could be SO dwarfed
and SO diseased. 1t is rapidly re-
solving itself into one question,
viz Can any one enter into and
escape the smut of politics.

THE REP UBLICAN CONVEN
TTON

As will be seen by the card pub
lished elsewhere, this Convention
will be held at Martinsburg, April
Both, prox. For this public recog-
milton of the advantages offered
by Martinsburg, for the holding
Of a meeting Of this character, the
people owe the Committee thanks
and we have no doubt that with
out regard to party, our whole
people will endeavor to make the
visit of the republican visitors
as pleasant as possible. Let all
remember that outside of politics,
we are citizens of grand State
and of a co mmon country, and
that whilst we may differ in judg-
ment, we all mean well to one an
other. We have no doubt every
citizen will concurin this view and
that a kindly welcome, brother
ly concourse, old acquaintance
renewed, new ones made and a
pleasant, happy, sociable time will
be the order of the day.

THE SMUT OF POLITICS.

Most of our people watch the
progress as well as the record OF
politicians and political proceed
ings. Being close to Baltimore,
they naturally keep posted on
events transpiring there, and
therefore, all are likely to know
everything connected with the
rumpus between Mayor Latrobe,
Robert Garrett, Gen. George w.
Brown and Mr.. William Keyser.
Each of the men has plenty OF
this worlds riches-each is we'll
known, and no one would think OF
questioning the word of either in
any business transaction. But the
journals of the city for the past
ten days have been teeming with
cards and communications de
nouncing each other as liars and
falsifers, and all about the ques
ton as to which one should or has
had the privilege, by reason Of
the contribution of a political cam
paign fund, of influencing an APP
peintment by the Mayor.
The picture is a sad one and
furnishes a very pitiful illustra-
ton Of the soiling of modern poll
tics. These men have lived hon

mittee Meeting.

In pursuance of a call of the Chair
man, the Democratic Executive
Committee, of Berkeley county, met
on Wednesday at 2 O'Clock p. M, in
the grand jury room at the Court
House. Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner
called the meeting to order and r.
s. Eichelberger acted as Secretary.
On motion, it was decided to hold a
Democratic Mass Convention at
O'Clock p. M, on Saturday the 22nd
of March, 1884, for the purpose of Sc
lecting seventeen delegates to repre-
sent this county at the State conven-
ton, to be held at Charleston on the
18th OF April, at which convention
four delegates large will be select
ed to represent the Democratic par
ty at the National Convention at
Chicago; also two delegates from
each OF the Congressional Districts.
Hon. E.. Boyd Faulkner then stat
ed to the Committee, that it being
generally understood that his friends
would present his name for the posi-
tion of Governor, he did not
think it altogether proper for him to
remain longer in the Committee
either as member or Chairman and
rendered his resignation. Nm mo-
tion of Mr.. Joseph Shaffer, who ex-
pressed regret at the retirement of
the Chairman, the resignation was
accepted. On motion of Mr.. Geo.
s. Roush, w, S. Henshaw was elect
ed a member of the Committee
to fill the vacancy caused by Mr..
Faulkner's retirement, and on mo-
tion Mr.. Henshaw was elected to
the Craftsmanship.
Mr.. Joseph Shaffer made his re
port as Treasurer, which report was
accepted and adopted. On motion
of MIR. David III. Stuckey, Il
committee of three, consisting OF
Messrs. Stuckey, Eichelberger and
Shaffer, was appointed to prepare
resolutions expressive of the Com
mittee's high regard for the retiring
Chairman. Mr. r. s. Eichelberger
reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Hon. T.. Boyd Faux
ner has rendered his resignation as
member and Chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee of Ber-
kelley County.
WHEREAS, His fellow members
appreciate the causes which have
dictated the resignation, and
WHEREAS, The past faithful SER
vices of Mr.. Faulkner, in many
hard fought contests, merit at our
hands some evidence of our appreci-
alton. Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in everything APP
pertaining to the great principles of
the Democratic party, the energy,
ability and fidelity of Hon. E. Boyd
Faulkner merit and do receive our
hearty commentator and endorse
ment.
Resolved, That in accepting the
gentleman's resignation as mem
Der and as Chairman of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, OF Ber-
kelley County, we do so with regret,
but with an earnest appreciation of
the motives which have prompted it.
Resolved, That a copy OF these
resolution, be spread upon the min
utes of the meeting and be published
in the newspapers OF our county and
State.
On motion Committee adjourned.

QUER
FLICK OR FAULKNER !?

b1ONA Nas A%AOa~h~ttSAs
The correspondent Of the Wheel
ing MteUige,scer had in Wednes
days issue of that paper, the fol
lowing decided and outspoken
paragraph (hunt for the decision)
viz:
SHOULD the Democrats fail to
nominate Faulkner for Governor,
the Republicans of Berkeley want
Flick, who can carry more votes
outside his party than any other
man who might be nominated.
The Flick amendment is a strong
card in his favor, and will give
him the support of liberal men all
over the State"
Now, as one is a democrat and the
other republican, we would like
to know why they cannot be nom
mate against each other. 1t has
been figured out by the knowing
ones that the republicans will
elect the next Governor, and we
see no reason why Brother Flick
should be kept from that honor,
because Faulkner should be nomi-
mated. It will be in order for the
correspondent to decide which
ssF' he will 'ollow.
