The Republican organization in West
Virginia is perhaps the most thoroughly
bOss-riddcn political concern that ever had
an existence in n free country. Its very
conscience, lift has one, is in the keeping
of the clique of politicians who dominate
it. Every county has its little boss or ring
of party whipS.-FdirmORt hder.
State Superintendent Morgan seems de-
termined that the schools of West Virginia
shall stand abreast of the schools Of other
States. His plan of holding two institutes
of u superior order for the special training
Ofinstitute instructors and county superin-
tendents is but q single indication of his
keen nsight.-HWRtiRgton advertiser.
Many of the Democrats of Summers
county are not satisfied. with the cOnven-
ton that was recently held ut Hinton, and
are demanding u new. convention. At the
recent convention il will be remembered
that one half the delegates were instructed
to vote for Major Harris for Congress and
the other half for Congressman Snyder.
1t looks very much rs if Congressman
Wilson of the Second, Snyder of the Third,
and Gibson of the Fourth districts will be
returned To Congress. Congressman Goff,
they say, does not desire to return-and it
looks somewhat rs if he couldn't if he
wanted to do so. And it is as certain Us
that 2and , makes 4 hat Senator Camden
will be returned.-JHgiHid Free Press.
In Steve Elkins' enumeration OF his
Democratic relatives he forgot to mention
the fact that he was, like his good old
father, q red-hOt rebel, and only turned
Republican for pay. Both Steve and Tom
Carton were Confederate soldiers. Itseems
to be forgotten entirely by the fiery knight
of the waving plume that his chieflieutcn-
ant WAS q rebel soldier. 1t is u wonder
that James G.. is not afraid the rebel
yell' will slip out of Steve ut the inOppOr-
tune moment. Yes, Steve marched under
Pap Price. We know it.-Paebio Got. }

The WeSt TirgAiG Democrat for a year
past has been telling the people what sort
Ofmen should be sent To the Le9iSlatu, G,
and sometimes debating the men even in
counties distant from it; but nov that the
people are beginning to take steps to place
proper candidates in the field it cries out
that there is u conspiracy on foot to make
nominations for State Senator's at such an
early day As will prevent a fair expression
of the choice of the ~party-that the Omi-
nations are precipitated for thesOle purpose
of sitting the popular WILL What an
abSurdity! WOrSe-what an illustration
of the WtS TirgiRid Democrats diStrust of

Something must be done to cOuntcract
