CAN'T KEEP THE HERALD DOWN.

THE HERALD has been enlarged
this week. TO the extent OF two inches
to the column, which will make in
the aggregate two columns more
space. We spend good deal Of
time, money and labor in trying to
make a good home paper, giving
all the local news obtainable, the
most important general news, and
good variety OF reacing matter.
Many who do not take THE HERALD
admit its merits and read it
wherever they can get a copy; such
should act square with us aud sub
scribe at once. The price is within
reach of all. No family should be
without paper, especially where
there are children or young people.
1t pays itself in many ways; and it
lis always good policy to take the
best. In size, good print, amount
and variety of news, and price, The
HERALD will stand comparison with
any paper outside of the cities.
A good word spoken to a friend or
nelghbor in recommendation OF THE
HERALD will do much good and
while thanking the large number
who keep paid up promptly, we
must urge those in arrears to make
settlement. Labor and cash are the
only two forces that make an enter
prise successful. We expend all
that We have of both, and need more
of each.

WEST VA. REPUBLICANS AGREE
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

President Harrison understands
West Virginia politics as well as
our own leaders do, and IN reply to
the friends who urged his name for
consideration as a member of the
Cabinet Mr.. Harrison replied that
Gen. Golf was needed as leader Of
the Republican party in his own
state at this particular period in its
political history.
Experience has shown that the Re-
publicans have nothing to expect
from the Democrats, no matter what
the people say nor how large their
majority, as long as the legislative,
judicial and executive powers Of the
State are in the hands of men who
are bound to party success at any
cost. The Legislature by one major
ity set all acts and laws aud preced-
ents aside and defed the voice of
the people or the provisions of gov,
eminent. The election boards stoop
ed to the most tlagrant abuses OF
Justice and fair conduct to make il
vote for their party in contest. The
Governor Iaked up the silliest eN-
cuses to cover his political tracks
from the eyes of popular Indignation.
But these acts and precedents-
solely in the interest of prolonging
party power-are on record, and the
day will come when they will he "A
plague to the stricken. If the Re
publlcans 10 Congress fail to right
part of these wrongs, and if the par
ty in this State neglects to follow
home in their own day and to their
own benefit these party propellers
they have themselves to blame for
defeat, and will leave the rights of
the people without vindication.
West Virginia by these very acts
is growing in Republican strength
every day. Gen. Golf is one of the
few great party leaders without an
enemy or an opposition. He is the
favorite choice of his state and party.
lie can be Governor by 5000 major
ity as easy as by one hundred at the
last election. The q. S. Senate will
then be open to him, and his chances
for future place in the Cabinet of
another Republican president better
than ever

GEN. G0FF TAKES THE OATH.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March A.
Promptly at noon to-day General
Golf, the Republican candidate for
governor and claimant to the Office,
took the oath in one of the rooms of
the State House set apart for the use
of the governor, and about the same
| time, in another apartment, President
Carr, of the Senate, also took upon
! himself the prescribed oath and was
prepared to transact the business per-
taining to the Office; while, in his pri-
vate office, Il. w. Wilson, who has
| filled the position for the past four
wears, continued, in form, at least, TO
| discharge his accustomed duties. In
and about the State House there was
gathered a tremendous crowd of peo-
pie, about equally divided between
the two political parties, swayed by n
very considerable degree of excite
ment, but still with no apparent de-
| sire to break the peace in any way.
1t was strange and anomalous scene,
and one holding many possibilities OF
danger, About half past twelve
O'Clock Gen. Golf and a number ofhis
| friends came into the Capitol and pro-
ceeded to the private Office of Gov.
! Wilson, who was also surrounded by
a number of his friends and support
ers. Gen. Golf asked Gov. Wilson II
he had any objection TO his taking the
oath of Office in the outer apartment,
as they wished to escape the pressure
of the dense crowd which surrounded
the building outside and filed the cor
ridors. Gov. Gov. Wilson cheerfully
gave the permission, and Gen. GoH
mounted chair in the reception
room and addressed the crowd, which
had by this time filled the room. He
dwelt upon the familiar history Of the
campaign aud the facts of the elec.
ton; claimed he had received a clear
majority Of the popular vote; charged
Speaker Woods, OF the House Of Dele
gates. with having failed In the per-
formance of his constitutional duty,
in not opening and declaring the re-
suit, and said the failure of the legis-
lature to perform mere ministerial
duty cannot, aud must not, be permit
ted TO deprive the people OF the gov
ernor they had chosen.
Closing, he said: "Seeing the re-
sponsibility imposed upon me, con-
scious of the rectitude of my position,
clear as to the line of duty that comes
upon me, and determined to be faith
| full TO the trust confided to me, am
now ready, in the presence and In
this capitol building of my State, to
kiss the Evangely of Almighty God,
and commit myself TO the destiny
that awaits me by virtue of the par
TALLY and confidence of my fellow
citizens" The oath was then admin
istered by F. G. McWhorter, after
which General Golf proceeded to Gov.
Wilson's private Office and demanded
possession.
Gov. Wilson was surrounded by
dense mass Of his friends and party
leaders. In reply to the demand he
said he was of the opinion that the
legislature, as coordinate depart
ment of the government, in joint as
sembly had exclusive Jurisdiction TO
ascertain and declare the result of the
election, and no title could come from
any other source. He felt it his duty
to continue in charge. President Carr
made similar demand after taking
the oath, and was similarly refused.
Thus matters stand.

structure was ablaze with lights and parti-

The surface fronts of the galleries were
festooned with the National colors, and in
the spaces between We're placed alternate "
silver-plated armor, mounted in plush, and
the coats-of-arms of all the states and ma

great garlands of laurel Suspended from
the gallery We're series of panels, five feet
by ten, each made of flowers, and each
symbolizing department OF the govern

Five thousand yards of laurel, festooned
six inches thick, covered the ceiling From
the dome in the center was suspended an i'm
mense ship of state, thirty feet long and with
three masts Immense portraits in oil of the
president and vice president formed a con.
spicuous feature of the decorations, in their
position against the upper galleries. Twenty
lime lights shone dazziingly from the top
balcony, and over two thousand electric
lights blazed along the sides of the ballroom.

Unaware of their intentions. Mr.. Means,
who is always adequate to the occasion,
awaited the inevitable. He did not wait
long nor in vain, they assured him that
they had come to have good time and
would like to be accorded privileges,
which were of course granted. ana a
jolly time was spent in tripping the light

clock in the morning, expressing them
selves as well pleased.
Several persons went to the Inaugural

pleased with their trip, even though it
did rain.

Well, if Monday wasn't a fine day for
an inauguration; rain, rain, rain, all day
long. Still the ardor of true Americans
was not dampened as is clearly demon

well that Washington unlike Bedington
was not overflowed. The grove was
overfiown and scholars went to school
in skiff. No damages reported.
Many queer things happen in

through our minds. So it is that we do
many strange things. A young fellow
visiting in our section recently became
so infatuated with one of our Bedington

SAD AFFLICTIoN THAT ENDS IN
DEATH.-The many friends and large
family connection here of Mr.. VIM.
p. Hollis were shocked and panied to
hear of his sudden death in Baltimore
Tuesday. He was native of this
place, well known here, brother of
Dept. G. r. Hollis and a nephew of
Mr.. w. M. Hollis. He left here last
fall, going to Baltimore, thinking he
could do better there. Mr.. Hollis was
very stout man, weighing nearly
800 pounds, but was very frail physi-
cally and not able to stand hard work.
His attending physician said he could
not have lived year, and was not
surprised that in moment of mental
and bodily affiiction he should take
an overdose of medicine without
thinking of the result.
He was married to Mrs. Curry, of
this place, and had a pleasant
home, barring his sickness and inabil-
ity to stand steady employment.
His uncle, Mr.. w. M. Hollis. went to
Baltimore and had the remains
brought on here, where the funeral
took place Thursday and interment in
his mothers lot in Norbourn Gene
terry. He was aged 81 years.
