ocratic plurality rose proportionate
y. But through all the increase in
the Democratic plurality over the
bona fde Republican vote has been
steady and substantial. Had there
been no Republican-Green com
bine in 1884 President Clevelandss
plurality would have amounted to
over $4,000, or a substantial Demo-
cratic gain over the vote of 1880.
This year there will be no fusion
between the Republicans and Green
hackers. On the contrary the lat
ter are very bitter over the manner
in which the Republican tricksters
in this State have taken them into
camp and sold them ont, They
have put a separate ticket in the
field and those who will not vote for
it will vote for the honest man of
the people who at present occupies
the White House Consequently we
confidently expectsto see tho Demo
cratic plurality for Cleveland and
Thurman in West Virginia this year
climb pretty close up to $4,000.
The ignorant surmise of the Re
publican managers at Washington
that the Republican policy of a mo-
nopoly tariff had anything to do
with the-Republican increase in 's4
in this State is the baldest absurdity-
The voting population of this State
is made up of farmers of the most
intelligent class of workingmen that
exists anywhere The farmers, very
nearly to a man, are arrayed solidly
and determinedly against the policy
that makes them pay not only all
their surplus earnings and profits to
the big millionaire monopolists of
the East and the sharks of Wall
street, but also forces large portion
of them to mortgage their farm at
six per cent. TO these same blood
suckers. And the workingmen
stand side by side with them in OPP
posing the policy that has their
worst enemies, the trusts and corpo-
rations, for its sole advocates.-
Workingmen are not fools to believe
that these grand miIlionaires, who
reduce their wages every year and
against whom they have to combine
in labor organizations and struggle
bitterly for living wages, want to
keep up the monopoly taxes on the
necessities of life solely for the ben
eft of their workingmon. 1t is too
absurd. Workingmen have been
caught too often in the past by this
Greet trade" chaff to be taken in by
it again-they see the tariff getting
higher and their wages getting pro
portionately lower-they have be-
come old birds in the tariff business
and understand it quite as well as
the demagogues who talk protect
ion ito American labor" from the
stump, while the wonopolists who
foot the Republican campaign bills
are demanding a ten per cent. re-
duction in wages here, and fifteen
per cent. reduction there, and long
or hours of work somewhere else,
while the whole country is full of
locked-out workmen and pauper la
Dor imported free from Europe.
We advise the Republican mana
gers at Washington to try some
other State and not waste the money
of the high tariff barons in West
Virginia this year. The only effect
of aboodle9 campaign would be to
largely increase the Democratic ma
jority, which will increase itself
quite fast enough we coHecture.-

The Boston Pilot says: Grover
Cleveland, the President, will be
President again. There is not a sim
cere Democrat in the country with
whom principle is deeper than per-
sonality who does not profoundly be-
Iieve that Mr. Cleveland is the best
man the Democratic party could
nominate, and that he deserves the
great place for his wise, firm and
magnanimous course during the
past four years. Mr.. Cleveland will
lead an undivided national party to
the polls. His opponents have not
a man large enough to show against
him, now that Blaine is out of the
field. We shall march onward to u
Democratic victory that must result
in such a re-atfirmation of Demo
cratic loyalty to principles as the
fathers of the Republic would ap-
provo and tho future will indorse.

There is tendency on tho part
of certain of our party exchanges
to reflect upon the character of va
rious candidates for nominations to
State offices 1t is unwise and un-
just. No man has been named for
place on the Democratic ticket,
who would not fill any position in
the gift of the people of West vir-
ginia, with credit to his party and
his State. There must be no mud
singing fight among Democrats.

tions be conducted honorably and
fairly, and when they are made
a strong and united party will win
an easy victory.-RegfSfer.

A subject deserving more attention than
it has ever received. is that of the sup
port of the families of persons who are SEN
fenced to terms of Imprisonment in our
state and national prisons. AS the laws of
the states now are. these men are subjectto
hard labor within the prison and their FAM
lilies to disgrace and penury without. Why
not adopt the suggestion of an inmate
Of the Saltwater prison, whose family isin
need as most of such families are. and give
to the families the wage earnings of these
men? 1t would of course make the sup
port of these men burden upon the state
at large. but is not the state thOusand..fdd

worse than widowed and orphaned wife

For The Mirror.


Life is put together considerably like a
set of harness. There are traces of care.
lines of trouble, bits of good fortune. breech-
es OF good manners. bridled tongues. and
every body has to tug to pull through.
Advice is like snow: the softer it falls,
the longer it dwells upon and the deeper it
enters into the mind.
What men want is not talent. it is pur-
pose: or in other words, not the power to
achieve, but the will to labor.
A person should be as careful of what
books he reads, as what company he keeps:
they both leave the same tincture on the
mind.
Half the discomfort of life is the result
of getting tired of ourselves.
The winds of adversely sweep over our
souls and scatter their fainteSt blossoms of
hope. But the blossoms fall. that we may
bring forth fruit-patience. faith, and love.
Selfmade men are apt to worship their
maker.
Life is sheet of paper white,
Whereon each one of may write
His word or two. and then comes night;
Though thou have time
But tor line, be that sublime:
Not failure. but low aim, is crime.

WHEEL CLUB MINsTRELs.

WHEEL CLUB MINSTRELS.
An emphatic success was the verdict of the
large audience that, despite the inclement
weather, greeted the Wheel Club boys in
their minstrel performance last evening,
From the rising of the curtain disclosing the
dress suited coons until the grand finale, the
entertainment was an undeniable success s.
The first part gave the end men, Messrs.
Pierce, Thompson, Moore and Kennard,
scope for many original jokes and witticisms
that convulsed their audience, aud their yo
cal efforts were thoroughly appreciated.
The Imperial Mandolin md Guitar Club
rendered several pleasing selections and the
postyring and tumbling of Messrs. Doldt
Moore and MACEDONIAN were highly appre-
ciated.
The farce by Mr. Fred b. Smith called
"Inkeytanc" must be seen to be appreciated
The situations were fitting climax to the
characters and costumes and the author was
called before the curtain at its close. The
entertainment concluded with "Ebening by
the Moonlight" introducing the entire clut
in feminine as well as masculine attire and
the curtain dropped amid screams OF laugh
ter.
The success of the performance is one well
merited and reflects great credit on the
Wheel Club.
The performance will be repeated tonight,
and the efforts of the bicyclists should be re-
warded by another crowded house. Nobody
will regret attending, and those who stay
away win wish that they had gone.
