With such men as John j. Davis.
Harris (of Greenbrier), Judge Hay
mond and John BrannOn Ostracised
in every part Of this State; with no
support except that which comes
from railroad influence and from
Federal patronage; with the best
brains in the State standing aloOf
and with the rank and file full of
suspicion and distrust; with hardly
a man in front who is not a recOg-
nized sneak and professional liar;
with no aims except to perpetuate
themselves in office, certain pOliti-
clans are so foolish and so auda-
ciOus as to think they can maintain
Democratic ascendancy in West Nir-
ginia. 1t is very easy to buster
ninety days before the election, but
next October these politicians will
be calling Justify for the men they
are now excluding; they will be call
ing Justify for those men of brains
in this State who have hold on
public confidence;-perhaps they
will call in vain.

A NOMINEE.

There has grown up in this State
of late years the doctrine that de-
mocracy consists in voting for the
nominee. Hence, our managers OF
machine politics act on the principle
that if they can by trick, falsehood
or cunning capture nomination,
they are entitled to the entire party
vote. 1t will serve a good purpose
to establish correct views on this
subject.
The only function Of party is to
bring together voters entertaining
similar opinions on public ques-
tions.
The only function Of a nominating
convention is to ascertain the choice
of the majority in party.
If the nominating convention is
fair; if it selects the candidate who
would be selected by the body of the
party, then the nominee is entitled
to and will obtain the vote of every
Democrat; -because be represents
the party.
But if the convention is not fair;
if it be controlled by schemers who
eonspire to thwart the public viii
and use it as an instrument to skill
off, the men who are truest to the
principles they profess; if the con-
vention be used to force upon the
people decOY ducks who will hetray
their constituents. then the nominee
has no claim whatever to the sup
port of any democratic voter.
Democracy consists in answering
loyalty to the principles protested
by our party and it is the. first duty
of a Democrat not to give power to
men who are untrue to those princi-
Piles.
tits difficult to excite sufficient in
terest among the body of the people
a long time in advance OF an election
to Induce the more substantial ele-
ment in the community to take an
active part in making nominations
to political Offices. Hence, it is easy
for a mere handful OF shrewd, UNI
scrupulous tricksters, willing to
spend money, to collect together
crowd the bulk of which consists of

TO MR.. CHAS. H KNOTT.

1t give us the greatest pleasure
to be able to advise the people to sup
port you for the State Senate but we
cannot do so if you intend to vote
against laws which are vital to the
welfare of this State We therefore
ask you the following questions: If
answered affirmatively we will do all
we can to aid your election; if ans
wered negatively we cannot support
you've cannetsupport candidate
who will vote contrary to the inter
est of the people.
/. Will you vote for the bill to
prohibit. the free. pass bribery?
ii. Will you vote for the bill to
prevent railroad managers from dis
eliminating between shippers
III. Will you vote to repeal the
present unconstitutional statute
which exempts from taxation $75 of
commercial property for one dollar
of farming property ?-the greatest
fraud ever perpetrated on the farm
ing community.
". Will you vote for the bill to
compel corporations to list their per-
sonal property for taxation as an in
dividual lists his property The
present law requires an individual to
give schedule of his property item
by item, but corporation makes no
schedule and merely states "the val
ne of it's capital" The result is
the personal property owned by cor
porations does not pay one fifth OF
the taxes it would pay if owned by
individuals.
These bills being repeatedly pub
lished no man who pretends to be
qualified for the Legislature can be
ignorant of their merits.

IRISHMEN PROTEST.

We printed recently some extracts
from the Papal decree condemning
the boycott in Ireland. On the 18th
Dillon, O'Brien, Sullivan, Redman,
Healy, Harrington and other lead
ers in Ireland's cause met in Dublin
and prepared a manifesto in reply to
the rescript. They say:
"The Papal decree is used by enc
mics of the Holy See and enemies of
the Irish people to estrange then.
and their spiritual guides. The
statements in the decree are I'M
founded, and would not have been
made had the Irish prelates been
consulted. The Pope has been de-
ceived as to the facts. While un-
reservedly acknowledging the spir-
itual jurisdiction of the Holy See,
we, as guardians of those civil liber'
ties which our Catholic forefathers
resolutely defended, feel bound to
solemnly reassert that Irish Catho-
lies can recognize no right of thr
Holy See to interfere with the Irish
people in the management of their
political .affairs."

IN FAVOR OF BALTIMORE OIL
REFINERS.
BALTIC. Sun July %.

The interstate commerce commits
sioners have decided two cases in
favor of Baltimore oil refiners which
had been pending for some time.
The cases were John Henry Nicolai
versus the Pennsylvania Railroad
and others, and j. Parkhurst, Jr., Il
Go. versus the same defendants.
The cases grew out Of complaints on
the part of the independent refiners
that the railroads would not give
them rate on crude oil from the
Washington (Pa. oil fields that
would permit of competition with
the combination who control most
of the refining business. Commits
sioner Morrison delivered the opin-
ion.cf which the following is re-
port: accomplishments do business
as oil refiners ut Baltimore, Md. 1t
was complained that the railroads
charged fifty cents per barrel for the
transportation of crude oil from
Washington, Pa, to Baltimore, Nd,
while from Bradford and Clarendon,
Pa, and Olean, n. Y, to Baltimore,
about the same distance as Wash
ington, Pa, from Baltimore, the
charge is but forty cents per barrel.
1t was shown that defendants by
agreement operate as a through
line, and make joint rates which
govern the through traffic. The
commission decides that carrier,
party to through line, cannot free
itself from the responsibility Of ex
cessive through rates by setting up
the corporate existence of one of the
railroads forming the through line
as separate carrier. 1t is held al
so that the apportionment of rates
to different parts of through line
| do not determine the charge to the
public, but may be significant on
the question Of r. asonable rates for
the whole distance The railroads
are ordered not to charge more than
fo-ty cents per barrel on crude oil
from Washington, Pa. to Baltimore,
Nd"
We could fill dozen papers like
this with similar instances OF dis
examinations between shippers.

cunning knavos or else of well-mean-
ing hut thoughtless citizens who are
easily blipded and controlled. But
sncl Il convention is not binding on
the conscience and Is not approved
by the judgement of any true Demo
erat Such convention is not the
voice of the party but merely the
voice of scheming knaves who con-
spire to betray the people.
The money power,-we mean mo-
nopoly in its various forms,- is now
ruling this country by the use of
this new doctrine, that loyalty to
party consists in tealty to any and
every nomination;-even though a
thief be nominated as the custodian
of treasure or convicted scoun-
drel nominated to the most impor-
tant trust.
For ourselves we repudiate this
new doctrine as undemocratic and
as subversive of manhood. The
body of the party must teach the
managers of machine politics who
now think themselves to be omnipo-
tent, that defeat is inevitable unless
proper men be nominated. We care
far more for the principles protested
by our party than for that SO called
success which is in fact defeat OF
those principles. To elect as Demo
Gratis men who are simply the decoy
ducks of monopoly does more to
weaken our party than Republican
victory.
The true democratic doctrine is to
vote for the nominee when and only
when he will carry out democratic
ideas. Any other doctrine is fatal
to republican institutions.

Since the last issue Of this paper
the gentleman who does most Of the
writing for these columns took oc-
casion to ask Judge Hoge whether
he agreed with the DEMOcRAr touch
ing Mr.. DuckwaIps fitness for the
bench, and Judge Hoge replied in
substance, as follows;
"Duekwall can make an excellent
Judge He read law with, or perhaps
under the direction of, the late Col.
Mason of Winchester, before he was
elected to the United States Senate.
Col. Mason thought well of his nat
ural capacity, and Duckwall certain
ly had bis entire confidence. Had
he lived in county offering more
legal business than Morgan his rep
utation would have been so well es-
tablished that no one would quess
ton his competency for this place.
Judge Hoge also said that during
his eight years on the bench Duck
wall was frequently before him at
the Morgan court and impressed
him as good aisi prius lawyer and
a more than ordinarily good chan
Gerry lawyer
This is the substance, though
probably not the exact report of
what the Judge said.
Judge Hoge needs no endorsement
from us. He is known to eur peo-
pie. and his opinion in this matteris
entitled to as much respect as that of
any man in the State. We differ with
him, but we cannot do less than give
our readers the benefit of our own
judgment. In this matter we are
supported by those members of the
bar, other than Judge Hoge, who
have the most practice and whose
judgment is most trusted by the
body of the people.
Touching the estimate placed on
Mr.. Duckwall by the late Col Ma
son, we have to say,-that Mr.. Duck
wall is honest, and in point of native
talent above the average. If his
lines in life had been such as to en-
large his understanding; if he had
lived in place which offered wider
range of practice; ii he had expert
enced that friction of intellect which
compeis lawyer to study and tax
his faculties, he would doubtless
have filled out to the measure of his
early promise, but as it is, we be-
lieve he will be failure on the
bench.
1t is painful for us to prosecute
this subject; we expect it is as pain
full to us as it is to Mr.. Duckwall.
The simple truth is, he was nomina-
ted because, and only because. he
was convenient instrument to &C
complish the personal objects of
midnight cOnclave of political con-
spiratOrs in Martinsburg. We do
insist that the judgeship be kept
free from unclean methods and mid
night conspiracies.

The WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT has a
decided advantage over the Register. Its
editor has read the history of his party;
knows its principles rs declared IN its
platforms from the beginning and in the
utterances of its leading men; is famil-
lar with the men of the day who shape
the policy OF his party; understands
what it aims at and by what methods 1t
hopes to accomplish its purposes.
The WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRAT jim
has convictions and the courage of them.
He feels no stress of commercial neces-
sity to dodge or to advocate anything
which he does not know to be the un-
adnlterated article of Democracy. lie
has learned how to think and how to
write. These qualifications for conduct

THE JUDGEsHIP.

We expressed the opinion that
Mfr. Duckwall was not qualified for
the circuit bench. Our opinion was
formed, as we think, after due con-
sideration, and we gave the judg-
ment of those members Of the JEFF
ferson and Berkeley bar accepted in
the community as most competent
to advise in this matter. Mr.. Duck
wallis nomination was the outcome
of machine methods which ought to
be rebuked. The scheming politi-
clans, who had used some well mean
ing men to stand in front, while they
themselves hide from the public
gaze, should be taught that their
secret Vaccinations to thwart the
popular will cannot succeed. There
is no way to punish these conspira-
tors except to defeat every nomina-
tion they make. The Judgeship is a
sacred thing, which ought to be
kept free from the contamination of
machine politics. This sentiment is
with us an enlightened conviction
and, feeling as we do, we should for
felt our selfrespect and could no
longer ask public confidence were
these columns silent in the face of
such wrong as that perpetrated by
these Martinsburg politicians.
AS regards Mr.. Duckwall person
ally, he has our sympathy. We re-
greet that he permitted himself to be
used as tool. But the question
before thoughtful citizens is this
shall we permit the judgeship to be
used by a eonclave OF INSCRIPTIONS
political schemers as q football for
partisan contention? This is the
issue presented, and it should not
be clOuded by our sympathy for the
pers Onal welfare of the nominee.
Mr.. Duckwall must pay the penalty
Of his OWE folly. Ii he had stood
alOOf from the Msrtinsburg conspir-
acy he would not now be in his pre-
sent unenviable dilemma. 1t is
three months before the election
and there is time enough TO find 8
way to concentrate public opinion
upon some lawyer better qualified
for the place and who is free from
the disgraceful methods by which
the nomination was effected. We
hear it suggested that a mas-smeet-
ing of the citizens Of the three cOun-
ties be held to make a new nomina-
tiOn, and this seems TO US the proper
course to pursue. One thing is very
certain, if the substantial citizens of
this judicial district will think seri-
Ously upon this subject; if they will
consult their own interest, the wrong
at Martinsburg will be righted.
