confess that we are grieved, but dc
not intend to slacken our hand;
shall work for the success of the

We are not surprised that Demo-

REASONABLE AMOUNT OF GOOD SENSE.
Wellsburg Herald, Rep.
1t is a with feelings of mixed
surprise and regret, the latter much
the larger, that the Democratic
newspapers OF the State announce
the fact that the prohibition gath
ering at Parkersburg, this week ,ad-
journed without getting into trou.
BILE about the Third party business.
They will learn the fact after q
while that the people known as
prohibltionists are gifted with
reasonable amount of good sense
that they are bound to put prohi-
bition through ; and that the way
to do il is not to play into the
hands of their opponents or take
counsel from them.
THINKS IT SEES A HOLE, BUT NO
HOLE IS THERE.
Huntington Times, Ind.
There appears to be an irrepres-
sible conflict between "the non par
tisan" and the "Third party" pro
hibitjonists Of this State. x < x
[ ae question now j., what did ihe
resolutions adopted by the meeting
mean? At the first reading of the
resolutions it would seem that
Third party movement was dis
countenanced. From a close ii.-
spection and reading between .h>
lines, however, it is evident hole
is left in the resolutions through
which the Third party people can
crawl out, and if the meeting at
Parkersburg resulted in anything,
it resulted in widening the breach
between the two factions.
NOTE There was no hole and
no breach. dear Times. The friends
of the Amendment were all agreed
in that convention and will charge
the Liquor hosts on the line OF the
battle set forSh in the resolutions
unanimously adopted.-ED.
LOST IN THE POLITICAL Fog.
Kanawna Gazette, Dem,
There is fun ahead in the coming
campaign. The Prohibition party
is divided into Third party and
straight out element, each of which
will put full ticket in the field.
The Democrats will put strong
ticket in the field, while the Re-
publicans and Union Labor party
will follow with separate tickets.
CAMERON PEOPLE REJOICING.
| Moundsville Sun. Cor, Dem.
The Temperance people here are
very much elated over the course
by the League Convention at Par.
kersburg recently, in steering clear
Of politics. This means the adop.
ton of the Amendment.
SENSIBLE SUMMING UP.
Wellsburg Herald, Rep mann T. n
The general sentiment of the
convention was that unity and
hard work were required to carry
the Amendment, but that these
would be forthcoming, and the End
Tuesday of November would regis
ter grand forward march for the
State that would place her in the
forefront of the Nation at the side
of the States that have already de-
clared for sobriety and advance
