Mr.. Mason, of the Democrat, doubts
the word Of Mr.. Gallaher, of the Free
Press. This looks to us like-but we
will forbear. We think Brother Gallaher
Is fully competent TO take care of him
self.
CONGRESSMAN WILLIS of Kentucky
has received his reward for using his in
fiuence to have Republican postmaster
reappointed in Louisville. He has been
defeated by the Democrats for the Con-
gressiOnal nomination.
VIZ take our report Of the Senatorial
convention at Martinsburg from the
Charlestown Spirit, Mr.. George Il.
Light, Secretary, being the author. We
make sundry eliminations that we think
improper for Democratic paper to
publish or a Democratic secretary to
write.
The seven convicted anarchists have
been sentenced to be hung December 81.
When these miserable beings shall have
been finally swung off society can heave
general sigh of relief. With The gal
lows in good working order. we opine
that anarchy will receive very sudden
check.
ARE the Republicans of the Sixth dis
trict of Maryland anticipating defeat?
The Baltimore american recently con.
tanned the following quotation: "Mr.
McComas can be defeated only by fraud
and the use Of money" 1t looks rs If
they were "sorter" letting themselves
down easy.
SOME good campaigning is being done
In West Virginia. Senator Kenna, Ex-
Senator Davis, Representatives Wilson,
Snyder and Gibson. Mr.. Hogg, Judge
Brannon and other able speakers are nc
lively stumping il In various portions
of the State. Meantime, the Republic
cans are not idle.
The members of the Strider delegation
at the Martinsburg convention punished
the naughty fellows who voted against
them by refusing tc appoint any Of them
on the Senatorial Executive Committee.
They kept them all at the other end Of
the county, too, not taking one from
this side of the railroad.
THE three Republican candidates for
the Presidency, John Sherman, James
G. Blaine and John A. Logan, are ac-
lively stumping the United States.
Sherman is waving the bloody shirt,
Blaine ia condemning everything Demo-
cratic. and Logan is making frantic eff
forts to capture the soldier vote by abus-
ing President Cleveland for vetoing
pension bills. It's great procession.
WE are glad to note that our friend
Mr.. f. w. Oyster has been appointed
foreman OF the specification room at the
Government Printing Office in Wash
ington. No more competent or worthy
gentleman could have been selected,
and the men who are under him will
find him "sqrare" in all his ways. eW
will never forget his kindness to us in
the days when his friendship was so
freely given and SO greatly needed. We
rejoice at his good fortune.
WE add to the Democratic nominees
at the head Of our columns to-day the
name of Mr.. j. Howard Gettinger, of
Berkeley county, for the State Senate.
Mr.. Gettinger is an honored and honor
able citizen Of Martinsburg and BUSH
ness man Of ability and integrity. He
Is gentleman we'll worthy to receive
the votes of the people Of Jefferson, and
we have no doubt he will get large
majority of them. 1t is the duty Of his
fellOw.Democrat to turn in now and
work for him unitedly and harmonious
ly, and to let all past differences be for.

As a general thing strikes are ill.con-
sidered and unwise, but one Of the most
foolish We have yet heard Of occurred
in q northern factory. Two girls got
into = quarrel and finally fought, and
the foreman discharged them. Then be-
cause the proprietors would not dis
charge the foreman and take back the
girls the whole force of over hundred
