Hon. William r. Lively, of Lewis, for U. s.
Marshal.
To he Editor Of ne Register.
GLENymLE, GIiNyR Co., ". Va, January
Ill noticed that at the meeting OF the
Legislature there were great many gen.
tlemen present who met for the purpose OF
planning, scheming and fixing up nice soft
places for themselves and friends to the eX-
clusion Of persons more worthy and more
deserving than thew ever were. They seem
10 have lost sight Of the fact that men who
have spent their time and money for the
last quarter Of 9 century in laboring for the
party are entitled to be recognized and de,
serve reward There is q man in the First
Congressional District who has spent more
time, labor and money for the Democratic
party. in accordance with his means, and
been less rewarded, than any man in the
State, and that man is Hon. William h.
Lively, OF Weston, in the county OF Lewis.
Mr.. Lively was chairman of the Congress
sional executive committee for eight years,
and did more actual service, made more
speeches, spent.more time and really did
more good for the party than the nominees,
who received the reward. In every State
convention from 1865 to the present time ne
has taken an active part, and not only been
seen but heard and consulted on State poll
tics and State policy. He has always been
q leader wherever he has resided and done
as much to forestall public opinion with
Democratic principles as any one in the
community. He is lawyer Of eminent
ability, and recognized throughout the State
as q man well qualified TO organize and
manage the party with peculiar skill and
ability. He was a delegate to the Chicago
national convention and assisted in the nom.
nation of Grover Cleveland and did as much
to secure his election as any manin the State.
Under these circumstances can the party do
better than award to Mr.. Lively the posi-
ton of u. S. Marshal for the district Of
West Virginia? We think not. Mr. Live
" possesses the intelligence, the bravery,
the ssgaeity and the executive ability to run
that Office as it should be. If appointed to
the position it will meet with the approba-
ton Of all the Democrats in the First Con-
gressional district, and may add major
ily of the leading and most influential men
in the State, We claim and do demand
that the Federal offices in this State should
be divided among the different Congress
siOnal districts. There being four districts,
the offices of Collector Of the Internal Rev.
enue, L. S. Marshal, l. S. District Attor-
ney and U. S. Pension Agent, should be
divided equally between the four, and those
pho have done the most for the party
should be awarded thepfzues=--At- presen,
there sppears-t6 Be only two applicants for
Office froW,fhe First Congressional districN
and wsfhink it but just, right and proper
tEsk6ne Of these should be appointed,

Il is unfair to those who pay their taxes
promptly to allow taxes which have been

AN APOSTLE EXCOMMUNICATED.-A sen.
sation has been caused in Salt Lake, Utah,
by the official announcement in Mormon
newspaper that Apostle Albert Darlington
had been communicated from the church
for 1.-THE crimes of lewd and lascivous con-
duct and adultery" Darlington is one OF
the oldest apostles, the husband of three or
four women, and has been member of the
church for half century. For years be
was president of the European Mission, with
headquarters in Liverpool, and has been
regarded as one of the ablest and staunchest
Mormons. 1t is said he committed adultery
some time ago, but the facts were not known
until recently, when he was tried, convicted
and communicated by the eleven other
apostles.
