How would "Go7ernor Harris" sound
anyhow? We remember that once upon a
time Tennessee had Governor by that
name, and history lifts its voice to say that
Governor Harris was the beet Governor

Some Of the Lesser Democratic organs az
feet 10 look with contempt upon the &C.

"The gigantic farce, the Blair BILL" ia
the way the Register speaks oft. Wss it
farce, or unconstitutional, when Con-
gress appropriated money for the relief OF
the food sufferers OF 1884? The RegiIter
did not object to that, yet there is no more
warrant In the Constitution for such action
than there ia for the appropriation Of
money in aid Of education.-TyLsr Star.
The organisation Of Republican clubs

, Col. Rowan, Of Monroe, we learn, Is q
candidate for Treasurer Of the State. The
mantle OF the party could fall on no better
shoulders. The Colonel Ia true and tried
Democrat, an experienced and succesaful
business man, and with all, thoroughly
competent to discharge the duties Of the
position. In politics he ia hustler from

that he will lead the entire Democratic
ticket.-Mountain Herald (Dsm,)
What do the Taxpayers OF this county
think OF their new Senator Faulkner, for

the teachers and scholars all over this

approve the bill7 What fools we are ia

"seustor Faulkner, in giving the reasonl
vhy he will vote against the Blair bill
makes q calculation Of what 1t would cosj
the people of West Virginia In the shape
Of tsfiT taxes, and reaches tho conclusion
that this bill would cost them more than
they would get pnder It's provisions. The
trouble with the Senator's figures is; thai
miles, taxes are reduced, the cost side Of
the question will remain where II lie, ant
hes been, whether the Blair bill Is passed
or not, The matter stands simply thus
