unalified man who tries to awaken
the people is stricken down; while
every man who either stands silent
or else aids in preventing intelligent
voting is rewarded. Dcspots rule
by striking down aggressive men
who refuse to sell their talents to a
power which plumbers the organized
masses. So it is here to-day. The
people are as helpless as were the
''commonality in England, when
advised to be submissive to their
masters lest they be chastised." 1t
is idle to say that the people are
safe so long as they can change their
rulers by casting ballot. The el-
ephant is strong; but not having
sense enough to utilize his strength,
is helpless in the hands of his keep

THE CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.

This office comes closest home to
the every day life of the people. To
feel safe in the Court House is the
basis of good government. Wecan
not feel safe unless the Judge is an
independent man who is accustomed
to have his own opinions and to ex-
press them. There are compare
lively few men who always stand out
so We can see them. Most men
hang back until they find what is
popular and then they talk loud
enough. Those who know Mr..
Trapnell best prefer him for Judge
precisely for the reasons he was Sc.
lected to try the S. V. r. R. case;-
the most important case ever in this
county. His opinions do not de-
pend on what seems to be popular
and he is qualified. There has new
er been any movement that req uired
public spirit when he was not in the
front, giving his time to help on
whatever would benefit the COM
munity. He was never known to
dodge responsibility and he has new
err been an office seeker His very
large practice proves how he is
trusted and respected. No man
stands or could stand higher. When
people reflect on how they will be
affected by the administration of
this office they cannot help feeling
the Importance of securing such a
man as Mr.. Trapnell. II we make
a mistake we viii suffer from it for
eight years. The writer has not
spoken to Mr.. Trapnell about this
matter, but the great Importance of
this primary induces the writer to
say this much.

1t is useless to disguise the fact
that unless a way be found to induce
non-office seeking citizens to vote
more intelligently, in = short time
there will be recognized and well
defined governing class, composed
of millionaires, and a governed class,
composed of the body of the people,
and the former will be 90 intrenched
that the latter will be unable to dis
lodge them.
Thoughtful men who understand
the situation and who find pleasure
in promoting good government, feel
as if it was useless to contend any
longer against the money power; they
are disheartened and about to sur
render to what seems the inevitable.
If they do surrender the farming
and mechanical class will soon be
reduced to condition of helpless
distress.
The following extracts show the
spirit which animated the governing
class less than one hundred and
fifty years ago:
There be two bodies in this King
dom, his holy person our Lord the
King and the mobiles, to whom God
has given authority to rule over the
other body which is composed of
common people who have no rights
or pleasures but those they owe 10
the gracious mercy and charity Of
their masters. So then it behOOves
the cOmmOnality that they be hum
bic and submissive less they be chas-
tised.
Let not Agriculture and Labor be
misled by the tlippant retOrt,-"Oh,
that was said one hundred and fifty
years ago; this is free country,
governed by the ballot box, and the
plowboy OF to-day has more sense
and more manhood than the English
nObleman of one hundred and fifty
years ago"
This tlippant retOrt will be accept
ed by the thOughtleSS and lull to
sleep those who do not think, but
the disease has surely reached the
vitals when the loudest voice of
Reason fails to arouse the patient.

STATE SENATOR.

If Mr.. Beltzhoover's record be
made known to the farmers of JEFF
ferson they will be for him. Unfor-
tunately We have not the space to do
him the justice he deserves. Some
II years ago he was director in a
bank. The proposition was offered
to bride the State Treasurer. Beltz-
hoover, altho' quite young man,
took the bit in his teeth and refused
to have anything to 10 with it. He
said: This is underhand work and
is all wrong; | will not be party
to any such transaction There
is no dispute about the facts.
Any one can read them in the Jour-
nal of the Legislature for 1875. His
conduct showed he is made of the
right stuff. A Shepherdstown man
recently said: "He has never waver-
ed from duty and is trusted implic-
lily"
But there is another thing to be
considered. He is both able and
willing to accomplish the legislation
our people want. If we elect man
who cannot write the simplest law;
who knows nothing about the mer-
its of public questions, and who is
not trained to study, we might as
well leave the office vacant. You
cannot gather figs from thistles. To
obtain wise laws, you must elect
men who are capable.
Again. Beltzhoover does not be.
long to the railroad lobby and can.
not be used by them.
Again. He did not go into part
nership with the Republicans to
elect Higinbotham. He was never
known to betray trust, and never
was q party to unclean methods.
His record is exactly such as should
make him strong in this county.
If farmers vote without thinking
they will continue to carry the load
and get none of the benefits.

THE BENCH.
JEFFERSON.

The Wood County Convention
at Parkersburg on the 18th and in
structed for Judge Okey johnson.
To be endorsed by ones neighbors
is the best guarantee man can Of
fer. For twelve years Judge John
son has served on the Supreme
Bench, more of his opinions have
been republished by law magazines
than those of any other Southern
judge. he has established a reputa-
ton for taking great pains and for
independence of thought. His ex-
perience makes him more useful
than any new man could possibly
be. We take it for granted he will
be renominated by reclamation.
We say for this judge as we say for
Auditor Duffy and Attorney Gener
al Caldwell, that it would be the
height of folly not to retain them in
the public service.

1t is impossible to shut our eyes
to the fact that we already have a
well defined body of mil,ionaires
who furnish money u control cleo
tiOns. Their emisssries exclude
from nominating conventions and
from every place Of influence those
who fight for the views here ex-
pressed, and yet no applicant for
votes dares argue against any pro
position We have presented.
1t is impossible to shut our eyes
to the fact that party machinery
has been so perfected that the un-
seen hand of the inside managers
are able 20 prevent discussion OF
any subject they wish kept from the
masses, and they are able to Ostra-
else every man of brains and integ-
rity who refuses to wear their collar.
Take some examples. No one pre-
tends that John j. Davis, OF Harri-
son, is not man of spotless char
aeter and Of the best ability; no one
pretends that he has ever expressed
a view which is not in exact accord
with what the people want. But the
moment he is suggested for any
office the clique that selected a rail
road manager for the National Ex-
ecntive Committee cry out,-"Davis
won't do; he is not a good party
man" Be it observed that this same
clique at the last election helped to
elect a Republican nominee in Har.
rison for the Legislature. Take an
other instance still fresh in the
