PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Septem'
Der 5.-To-day the Republicans Of
the First Congressional district met
at Clarksburg and nominated George
w. Atkinons, ex.United States mar
shall, for Congress on the sixth ballot.
This is the district now represented
by Gen. Golf, and the only Republi.
can district in the state. Atkinson
is acknowledged the strongest pos
sible candidate. David ID. Johnson,
chairman of the State Prohibition
Executive Committee, said to-day
that if Atkinson was nominated the
Prohibitionists would make his cleo
ton sure, whereas, if any other man
was nominated they would put in a
man against him. The Republicans
are particularly hilarious over the
nomination.

aside the verdict of Congress and al

POLITICAL FISH STORY.

Senator Faulkner is exulting at the
success of a democratic ratification
meeting in Martinsburg, w. Va. last
Saturday evening. That is the Sena-
tors home, and he is an energetic pol
itical worker. He says there were
over 1000 men in line and that more
than 5000 persons attended the meet
ing. Senators Kenna, Faulkner,
VOORHEES, and Representative Hatch
spoke. Martinsburg and the county
in which it is situated have been Civ.
ing republican majorities, but Sena-
tor Faulkner is confident of Democra-
tic success there thia fall. He said to
a Star reporter: "The republicans
were astounded at the demonstration.
1t far exceeded anything of the kind
ever seen there, and the republicans
were wondering where all the demo-
Gratis came from" The Senator says
that the marshal on the occasion is a
very prominent ex-Union soldier
who has heretofore been a republican,
and that in prst contests he had been
the marshal and chief agent of repub-
lican demonstrations. The Senator
also remarked that one precinct near
Martinsburg, which never before
polled more than SO votes, sent a
mounted club numbering .forty-four
voters Washington Star, Sept. 4th.
1t is strange that big politicians
like big fishers, exaggerate the num-
Der and size of their catches. Atten-
ton to few points will enable the
reader to get at the facts. By actual
count there were four hundred MEN
in line and making allowance for the
Republicans, ladies and boys in the
hall. there were not over 300 Demo
cratic voters present. The party or
gan here places the number at 1000 (;
Senator Faulkner at 5000. 1t was
Saturday evening when the streets
are generally crowded and the cleo
trio belt show itself drew an immense
crowd, packing the streets all around
the Market House, City Hall, and
Everett House corner. One whole
delegation of Republicans from Ope-
quon Joined the ranks for the fun of
the thing, and every white and color
ed boy in town was there. The Chief
Marshal was Deputy Sheriff VIM. Il.
Noll, an ex-Confederate and Demo
crat; and as far as we can ascertain
there was no ex-Union Republican in
line. 1t was big parade, we admit
but for one man to make all the poll
tical capital out of il for seifglorffica-
ton will not go down with the Demo-
Gratis themselves.

CIRCULATE REPUBLICAN PAPERS.
The Democratic party will spend
at least two million of dollars this
year to elect Cleveland. The Re-
publcaus should raise all equal
sum, send good Protection docu-
ments to every house in the country,
strengthen the party press, thorough
ly canvass every district, every
house in the entire land, organize
the party so thoroughly that it will
be equal in discipline to the German
army that Won Moltke created; and
in addition, checkmate as far as pos
sible the schemes of the Democracy.
This is the only way to win victory

80. 1865, Harper's says that awe are

foreign goods, yet in 1888 it argues
that under free trade the American

that led to financial disasters in the
past will bring on the same results
in the future.

So much for past free trade exper-

If our farmers, laborers and man.

is to vote for the Mills bill as inter-

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION RES
0LUTl0NS.

Adopted at Philippi Aug. "a, 1888.
The Republicans of the Second Con.
gressional district of West Virginia,
in convention assembled, hereby en-
dorse most heartily the platform
adopted by the National Republican
Convention at Chicago, in June,
1888, especially commencing its ut.
terances upon the tariff issue; and
we would also pledge ourselves to
the support of our standard bearers,
Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Nor.
ton. AS emphasizing our position
upon the main issue of the present
canvass, we herein incorporate, as
our unalterable declaration, that
eve are uncompromisingly IN favor
of the American system Of Protec
ton, and we protest against its des-
truction as proposed by President
Cleveland and his party. Believing
that they serve the interests of Eu.
rope, we pledge our support to the
interests of America, and will vote
for no man to represent this district
in Congress who will not pledge him
self to advocate the policy of Protec.
ton to American industries, and
Protection to American labor, as
against the ruinous policy which the
Democratic party proposes to inaug.
urate by the adoption of the Mills
bill, whereby West Virginia's main
sources OF wealth are threatened
with destruction.
With due courtesy to himself, per.
sonally, and with respect for bis ex-
allied official station, we condemn
the position taken upon this question
by the Hon. w. l.. Wilson, our pres.
ent Representative ia Congress, sin
cerely believing that by his action
upon the Morrison Tariff Reduction
bill and the Mills bill, and by his as.
ISOLATION with that element of the
Democratic party known as the
Free Trade advocates, he has dem
onstrated his lack of sympathy with
the vital interests of the people of his
State and district; and we pledge
our untiring efforts to elect as his
successor a man who Will not misrep.
resent us upon this important ques-
ton. To this effect we invite the
cooperation of every man, regard
less of past political affiliations, who
believes in the maintenance of
protective tariff for the sake Of pro-
lection. We prefer to reduce the
surplus revenue, when such reduc-
ticn is necessary, by wiser methods
than by distributing it gratuitously
among the manufacturers III Europe.
We have heard with greatest sat
isfaction of the selection, by the late
State Convention at Charleston, of
that distinguished leader of eminent
ability, the Hon. Nathan Golf, as
our candidate for Governor, and we
here and now prefer him and the
excellent representatives of our par
ty who are associated With him on
the ticket our earnest support, indi-
vidually and collectively, with the
confident hope that in November we
may have the pleasure of consigning
our political foes, in Nation and |
State, to the sombre shades of ain.

SATURDAY NIGHTS PARADE.

The Democratic torchlight process
sion came off last Saturday night with
q great flourish of political trumpets.
If it was success to anybody it was
to those who enjoy the fun of such oc-
casions. The surrounding country
had been drummed up a week before,
and all the youngsters in town jump
ed into line under the blazing torch
that found its way later into some
dark corner that only boys can find.
The procession would have made an
imposing display if better order had
been maintained, but horsemen rode
wildly to and fro. ranks were broken
at every point, and there was no order
of marching. The streets were crowd
ed, and everything passed Off pleas
antly, with the exception of the I'M
fortunate accident by which Mr.. Mar
shall had his leg broken.
The banners and transpareneies
were political scarecrows on drunk.
If the inscriptions were made by the
hand of industry and sobriety, no one
would complain, and the mind that
conceived them will some day shine
as lighthouse up Salt River. Below
the "S1 day enough for workmen y
should have appeared the remark of
Thurman, "The Negro is prolific
ANIMAL" and under the Irish Lead
er +" attempt at smartness should have
appeared the plea of prominent
Democratic advocate, Will you
hang an American for a foreigner"
Bowers and Doodle" should have
been accompanied by $4,000 for my
re-election,"-S20 for the earthquake
sufferers, and not a cent for Ireland.
Grover Cleveland" Then both sides
could have enjoyed the fun; this way
the Republicans feel sighted.
But it was a great procession. Both
bands were in line; wagons, horses,
and pedestrians,-tin horns, barley
corns, yells. and hurrahs. Everybody
was in the best of humor, and the Re
publicans enjoyed it as much as the
Democrats did. 1t Strengthened up
weak political knees and strengthen
ed tender party backs all around. The
white hats and the red bandannas
made good show, and the Republi-
cans are only sorry they haven't the
money to rival the great display. 1t
is better to appeal quietly to the in
telligence of the voter, and make a
campaign of issue and argument. in
which all men are interested irrespec-
tive of politics.
