-
The Wheeling Register: The Pres
idedt's reply to ex.District AtLor
nry stones letter Is exceedingly
refreshing reading for both Demo
Gratis and Republicans. Mr.. Stone
has been trying to appear in The
roloof n martyr, much to the dis
gust Of discreet Republican friends
They are delighted to see tho masE
lifted. The way the President
Aays bin leaves no doubt with The
Democrats as to where the sympa
thies Of the Administration lie.
When charges were preferred
,ngainft Mr.. Stone on q former occu
sion, excuses and explanations o
friends, the President says, induced
him ''to believe that Mr. Stone.
retention would insure a faithful
performance Of official duty; ant
that whatever offensive partisan
ship hs had deemed justiGable ia
other circumstances, he would dur
ing his continuance in Office az biz
request, under au Administration
oppo-ed to him in political creed
and policy, coutent himself with 9
quiet and unobIrusiyo enjoyment
Of his politital privileges.
When such lcnienCy had beer
shown Mr.. Some, the President
supposed that a sense of prOpriety
would "cause him to refrain from
pursuing such a partisan course u.
would wantonly offend and irritate
the friends of the Administration
who insisted that he should not be
re aimed 10 Office"
But when oifense has been added
to cAense in the period in which
NJ. Stone was on probation, and
the Administration under which
he is holding a fat Office, il villifed
and held up to the people as un.
Trustworthy by this same Mr.. Stone,
the President sustalns the dignity
of the Administration by letting
the offender take the consequences
of his folly, The President shows
awell marked distinction between
the offenses of Messrs. Stone and
Benton that all can understand.
His action in these two cases
will increase his popularity with
his party. In Mr.. Benton's case he
showed that where he is convinced
be has made mistake he is will.
ing to rectify i! promptly. In the
case of Mr.. Stone, he makes it
plain that the dignity of the Ad.
ministratiOn is not to be lowered
by federal Office holders who forget
the trust placed in them and stoop
TO misrepresent and belittlo the
power that retains them in Office.

Senator Edmunds' explanation
Of his silence during Blaine's Pres.
idential campaign is simply that
he could not tell the truth abou,
the Republican candidate without
helping to beat him, and he would
have been obliged 10 tell the truth
if questioned on the stump. Many
admirers of the Vermont statesman
will consider all this as afTording
excellent reason why Mr.. Edmunds
should have entered the canvass
and told the truth. Surely the
Senator does not wish to be con.
strued as pleading; "Not that |
loved my country less, but my par.
!y more"

sOne rule Is observed, and we do
not see how any sound Democrat
can disregard II, all trouble over
the election Of a Senator can be dis
posed ofeasily.
For months before the election
was held, indeed for many months
before the conventions to nominate
candidates were called, the ques.
ton as 10 who should succeed Mr.
Camden vas discussed very thor.
oughly throughout the entire State,
and in almost every county candi-
dates we're pledged either for or
against Camden. In this way a
very fair expression Of the will VI
the people was obtained. There
fore, il u majority Of his party fay

he fair enough and manly enough
TO yield gracefully TO the wishes Of
the people.
II is in the power Of q half dozen
Democrats to defea! a caucus nom
ination, and by combining with
the Republicans elect some indie
pendent candidate, bu! it is almost
sure to disrupt the party and end
in turning the State over to the
Republicans in 1883.
This is an important feature of
the Cuso which every Democrat
who desires the continued suprem-
acy Of his party should consider

by the sleeve and whispers: You must

ny SELLIs, LOCAL PoET.
On Wednesday night at half past one,
The gas men had little fun,
And all the work with heavy truck,
Since they've been here they had bad luck.
They bored about four hundred feet
Right In the center of the street;
While digging in this hole OF swill
They lost one end of their big drill.
The gas men swore and cursed about
For they could not get their old drill out.
They went to Findlay and got machine
The funniest thing that ever was seen.
They sent her down with an awful crash,
Oh, how 1t made the water splnsh.
They fshed two days and just one night,
And got their old drill out all right.
Things worked all right for little while
And the gas men all commenced to smile.
While they were laughing and talking about
The darned old plug in the boiler blew out.
This caused the gas men much dismay
Because they had another delay.
Again they fixed things up in shape,
Then one man had a narrow escape.
While he was sitting on bench
Tightening the drill with great big wrench,
He looked as though he was half asleep
And dropped the wrench on one OF his feet.
The gas men then give up all hopes
And commenced to wind up their ropes.
They said they never had such luck
And was afraid our Council would buck.
They claim II things will work all right
They will "shoot" the we'll next Wednesday
And II they fail on natural gas might
Our Council will never hear the last.
