IbuNtuE LtlluuGIs
The Jackson Btsgle ia 4 lengthy
article on Jackson county politics,
has among other things this 10 say.
1.-THE people Of West Virgins look
upon senatorc Camden as an earn
es. worker for the welfare and de.
yelopment Of the State They
know him TO be an able business
man and that be has used bis abil.
ity for their good. Especially is
this 50 in jackson county. The
next United States Senator from
West Virginia will be q democrat,
and, this being SO well assured, we
do not believe that the people Of
Jackson county would elect any
candidate, ofany party, TO the Leg.
islature, II be should boldly an.
nonnce that he would oppose the
election Of Mr. Camden to the U s.
Senate and help elect some one
else, away of some place, whom the
people know nothing about, and
who, perhaps was never within the
borders Of our county, or who never
did anything for our people or
county. Our people know what
Mr.. Camden has done and is doing
in the interest of our county, and
they, as is natural, respect the man
and doubtless will always feel dis.
posed to deal generously with him.
West Virginia never was more
ably or truly represented in the
National Senate than she is, to-day,
by Senators Camden and Kenna. =
There are few States in the Union
as ably represented. Republicans,
Of course, now have no fight to
make with Mr.. Kenna, as his term
is not the next 10 expire. Mr..
Camden's term soon expires and
the fight consequently thickens in
that direction. See how efforts are
made all over the State to raise a

and to get factions of the party to

this matter. When the proper

Of these Democrats, caused the de-
feat Of our County Ticket, in 1884.
But we are charitable enough To
believe they had a reason for their
action. Some Of them were snub'
bed by The County Convention. A
square fght was made against some
Of them. Some were publicly de-
nonnced as "RiDgsters,n &c. Isl.
any wonder then, that both they
and their friends, became inactive,
and did nothing for the success Of
the Democratic County ticket, ex-
cept loyote ilS Had the conyen-
tioD acted fair with these men, the
result Of the election that year, no
doubt would have been different,
and to day, Democrats would have
been filling the County Offices
So you see there are two sides to
this question, and we want to im'
press this fact upon Democrats who
are not disposed to be forgiving and
e,dispOsed to carry their feelings
into the next County Convention,
and into the next election. We
mus! forget and forgive, An i'm.

and we must Unity the Comfy De

must be no factions. There must
be no quarrels among Democrats.
We can't afford it. There is too
much az stake. By such action we
may contribute to the election Of a

From the statements of the prosecuts
ing officer 1t appears that evidence of the
most conclusive nature has been obtained
against the Chicago anarchists now un.-
der indictment for murder. 1t shows
that the riots which occurred in that city
on and after the first of May were the
outcome of preconcerted plot to wage
a war of determination upon the Chicago
police. While it has generally been be-
lieved that this was the case, and that 1t
was upon this theory that the indIct-
ments against Spies and his companions
were obtained, there has always been an
apprehension that the proof of their guilt
could not be directly established. If tie
statements of the states attorney are
true, however, there is no room for doubt
that the prosecution can prove clear
case Of murder in the first degree against
several at least Of these conspirators
lbey evidently planned Their murderous
attack with the utmost deliberation and
care The revelation is one that is cal
culated TO fill the public mind with
amaZement and horror, and it will not
fail TO awaken the people to lively ap-
probation of the necessity of checking at
once the danger which threatens their
safety. Only the most severe penalty
that the law can impose will be sufficient

ers that murder is regarded in this coun-

old world, and that liberty means some
