Go TO work at Once.

There is no Disgusting the fact
that the Republicans at their State
convention yesterday nominated an
exceptionally strong ticket. We dc
not feel alarmed about the result, but
we desire to impress it upon the
mind of every Democrat who is
numbered among our readers that
it is duty that he owes to his party
as we'll as to himself, to go to work
with 3 will for our entire State tick
ct. While VIC entertain no doubt
ofour ability to carry the State it is
of the utmost importance that we
roll up an increased majority in No
vembef next and with the ticket
nominated last week at Huntington
we shonTd and will do so provided
every member of the party does his
duty. The Republicans have put
their best foot forward and will I'M
doubtedly make desperate effort to
carry the State, and it is the true
policy of the Democracy to inaugu-
rate an aggressive campaign atonee,
By making the proper effort, We
our candidates in November next,
and every member of the party
should act as though the whole
matter depended upon his efforts
alone. Over confidence sometimes
is the forerunner of defeat and al
though the State is ours beyond a
doubt, it viii not be if we stay as
home and make no effort to keep it.
Nothing can be accomplished in any
business, profession or trade without
work, ard the same is also true of
politics. Let us show by our ac-
tions that we are worthy followers
of our noble cause.-.Star. 23d.

The Republican party is endea-
voring in every way possible to
make lull in business. They are
circulating letters beseeching manu-
faeturers and business men to dis
continue their business temporarily,
and make it appear that the tariff
manipulation is the cause of it. Re
member, we are enjoying revival
in business, everybody has conf
dence in our President, and if
partisan manufacturers should shut
down with that view, they ought to
be Stunned like a rattle snake.
Workingmen, be on the alert. The
Republican party is in a dying
agony and they are desperate, and
there is nothing too contemplate
for them to resort to.

The public are interested in the

edge of law and the ability to at
tend to the public's interests, The
Democrats present to you Mr.. ]. S.

tainnents, and the ability to defend
and look after the peoples Interests.
The Republicans present to you a
man whose knowledge of the law is
very limited, and who is lacking in
experience as practitioner. You
know who he is without our mon
tioning his name. Vote forSpencer,

Vote for the other fellow, and elect

1t is we'll to recall the fact from
time to time as the campaign pro-
crosses, that Senator Ingalls, advice
was closely followed by the Repub-
licans in the selections of caDdi-
date for Yice-President, as we'll as
President. In his famous letter to
= friend, which got published IN
stead of burned, the Senator said
that he would prefer some fellow
IKE Phelps of New Jersey, who
could reach the conservative forces
of the East and get contributions
from the manufacturers and Wall
street, Words could not draw a
more accurate picture of Banker
Morton than this, nor more clearly
define the'purpose for which he was
nominated.

Judge Fleminc,s Iire.

Judge A. B. Fleming was born
about forty years ago, near the
town ofFalrmont, Marion county,
in what,was then Virginia. Judge
Fleming was the son of one of the
most respected and substantial
farmers in that vicinity. He re-
ceived good common school edu-
cation and began the study of law.
After being admitted to the bar he
formed a partnership with Judge
Alpheus F. Raymond. For many
years Judge Raymond was debar-
red from practice in West Virginia
courts by the test oath and pro-
scription laws then in force through
the dominance of the Republican
party. During this time Judge
Fleming was the active member of
the firm and gained for himself a
well-deserved reputation as coun-
sellor and pleader. In various Off
cial positions to which he was chos-
en- by the citizens of his town and
county he showed great ability and
performed his duties IN a highly
creditable manner. He. was elected
judge Of the judicial district com
posed of Monengalia, Marion and
Harrison counties in 1880, defeating
his opponent, Hon. J. NJ. Hagan, by
an Overwhelming majority, though
the district at that time was highly
Republican. His judicial duties
have been performed with ability
and sterling integrity, and have
made him one of the most popular
official in the State. Judge Flom-
ing married a daughter of Hon.
James o. Watson, of Fairmont, and
in the last few years has been in
terested in the mining industry in
connection with Mr.. Watson and
other gentlemen. He has been
prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with both the Congressional
and gubernatorial nominations.

The Congressional inquiry into
the subject of trusts, though4.con-
Quoted in a rather Indifferent fash
ion, has established several inter
esting facts. One of these is that
the Kentucky distillers do not be-
long. to a whisky trust The chief
seat of the whisky trust is in lii
nois and its cighty-one distillers are
all IN Northern States, including
Ohio, Wisconsin and Indiana. The
Chicago platform intimates that the
retention of the tax on whisky is
in subservienee to the trust, but the
representatives of the organization
do not bear out this view. On the
contrary, they recommend the re-
moyal of the tax as likely to in
crease the consumption of spirits.
In this they are doubtless right.
They, at least, are in full harmony
with the Chicago platform, which
offers highly taxed clothing and free
whisky-as the. present Republican
idea of political economy.
