There are those who say that be-
cause the President left so many
Republicans in Office, the elections
last week went against the admins
tration; but note carefully that this
lame excuse comes from the very
men who vote the Democratic party
ticket year in and year out. The
laboring men and the farmers voted
against the administration because
of the conditions of the times and
the country, caring little or nothing
whether the President put Demo
Gratis or Republicans in or out.

FLICK'S ADDRESS.

MARTNsBURG, Nov. 6.-The
following has been issued by Mr..
Flick:
To the Republican and Independent
Voters of the Second Congressional
District:
You have made a great fight.
Although you were ignored by the
Republican National Congressional
Committee, and were compelled to
fight treachery in your own ranks,
yet, without money or outside assis.
lance you have cut down the ma
jority of 1929 in 1884 to such an
extent that it will take the official
count to settle the contest.
l tender you, individually and
collectively. my sincere thanks.
w. Fl. II. FLICK,
Late Rep. Cand. for Congress.
Not only Republicans, but Demo
Gratis, too, regret the defeat of Mr..
Flick, not on party grounds, but be-
cause they sincerely believe that his
services in Congress would have
been felt for the best interests of all
the people of this State, and espec-
tally of this District. Hundreds of
Democrats voted for him, while hun
dreds more against their better
judgment did not, but stuck to the
usual party ticket, not for Mr.. Will
sons sake, but for the party's. 1t is
the second sad lesson for the Re-
publicans. The people of this Dis
trict want to try a Republican rep
resentatiye.

Excitement in Texas.

The extremes to which political
corruption is carried at elections,
should cause the better-thinking
leaders of both parties to consider
whether there is not great deal of
responsibility resting upon them for
which they might some day be call
ed to answer. Everyone knows that
thousands Of dollars are put into
certain States by both parties, much
of which goes to purchase votes d.
rectly or indirectly, either paying
for votes outright, or paying men
for their days labor, or buying
whisky.
To bring the evil nearer home,
most counties have several hundred
dollars in the hands of each party
for Legitimate" election purposes.
1t is a question whether there can
be any Legitimate" election ex-
penses outside of those provided for
by law. OF course, challengers have
to be paid, horse hire engaged and
tickets printed, but all that does not
amount to $50, and much of it and
more too is advanced by candidates.
The laws are strict enough, but
custom" is higher than the law 1T
would seem, on both sides. 1t is
not our duty to inquire into any
violations of the election laws, nor
do we care to know of any, but no
one can pass through an election
campaign without noticing how the
wind blows. Whisky is a leading
factor; then comes money, merchan-
disc and promises. There is a hard
struggle for the loose vote. Tricks
are resorted to that may look smart,
but which are in reality criminal,
and a man who would forge letter
for political purposes would steal,
and murder if closely pressed.
Anything to win" conceals the
worst political crimes. The discour.
aging feature of this evil is the
countenance given it by the people.
We don't blame poor people for sell
ing their vote as much as we blame
christians for buying it, for many of
the leaders ON both sides "stand
high, in the church. We have no
facts, and we need none; few people
will call for proof.

In 1882, John w. Mason came
within ten votes of beating Wilson.
The Republicans made heavy gains
this year all over the State. Colts
majority is $50; in 1884 it was 204.
Snyder's majority is 743; in 1884 it
was 1896. Golf in the First Dis
trict. Wilson in the Second Sny-
der in the Third. In the Fourth,
Hogg's majority is 721. Five years
ago there was hardly a Republican
in the Senate, now it is nearly tie,
and most of the incoming Senators
are Republicans. In 1888, West
Virginia can be put squarely in the
Republican columns.

that the delegate districts composed

pull the Democratic majority down
to nine.

FOR REPRODUCTION.

Read one of the stories slowly and
clearly once while the class listens. Give
them an opportunity to ask for any expla-
nations. Possibly let the story be repeat
ed orally by one or more members Of the
class. BY all means hinder the words
and phrases from sticking IN the minds
of the children. Only let them get the
ideas clearly. Then let them take slate
or paper and reproduce the story in their
own words. Unless you have ample
strength and time don't try to correct
their productions individually. At a SUBJ
sequent exercise have as many read as
possible. But compel no one to read
against his will. While this is being
done, or at another exercise, have several
pupils transfer their work to the black
board. Then with chalk in hand 60
through each production with the whole
class, explaining and making corrections.
Occasionally let the class indicate tho
mistakes for you. BY this means you
will make your pupils both knowing and
careful in their writing, the two great
objects to be sought and avoid the
drudgery Of marking their papers or
states. Ten minutes should be enough
in which to read the story and make all
explanation. (The story should always
be very simplex To write a short story
not more than ten minutes should be
allowed. And this should soon be re-
duced to five minutes. When the time
is up require all to stop whether they
have completed the story or not. But be
patient and pleasant. The next time the
slow ones will do better. Some children
like to dawdle. 1t is an injurious habit.
Pleasantly but firmly prevent it by bring
ing every one to time. "-Selected.
