connection before the convention,
which | consented for them to do,
but as there are other aspirants
for said position who can and will
ably represent the Democrats of
Logan in the next State Senate
| withdraw my name. OF course
if am ever called upon by the
people of my county to serve them
in any capacity, l shall respond,
but / am young man just enter

Hoping that my action will be ap-
proved by my friends and promis-
ing to do my best for the success
of the Democratic ticket. at the
coming election, ! remain.

paper as follows: As the present
term Of congress draws nearer its
close, it's evident that the Re-
publican raid on the seat of AL
derson Of the Third Congressional
district Of West Virginia, is prac-
tically defeated. The Golf -Elkins
combination has pursued him
from the court to the castle, from
the polls to the Capitol, but his
case has been made SO strong and
its merits so apparent and he has
presented such a vindication of
the Justice Of his claim, and the
manlincss of the man, that it
seems well assured that Mr.. AL
derson viii hold his seat. He is
he congratulated. When his
constituency, in the Endorsement
which they will undoubtedly give
to his achievements in this contest
shall return him to the next Con-
gress hewill be surrounded by a
majority Of Democratic friends
who will dwell togetherin unity
and serve the county in harmony
for the country's good.

it best to make no nomination for

A Woman's Hate.

Now and then mankind is start
led by getting an insight into the
the depths to which woman's
hate and malice can 20.
There seem to be no bottom to it.
Mrs. Mackay. the wife of the
great Pacific coast millionaire, is a
victim Of it, and her experience
is one of these occasional illustra-
tons. which cause men to regard
the gentler sex with wonder and
awe-as inexplicable beings.
Mrs. Mackay is a very estima-
-hle lad v-wAese- social success in
the capitols of Europe has been
brilliant and phenomenal and.
due as much to her ability, tact
and personal worth as to her great
n-the.wakel of her
triumph. the story has followed
her that in early life she was a
washerwoman in California. SO
persistentfy istfre story circrfated
wherever Mrs. Mackay is, that
her husband has finally lost his
temper aud now offers a reward
for the name Of any person using
his wife's name in Il slanderous
or libelous connections.
If the washerwoman story were
true Mrs. Maekay would have no
cause for complaint and her good
sense and tact would enable her
to meet and overcome it; but it
is SIMPLY a malicious lie invented
bodily by one Mrs. Charlotte
Smith formerly of st. Louis, out
of revenge for some real or fanci-
ed slight.
Mrs Mackay is the daughter of
Col. d. +. 5Hungerford, Of New
York, once surgeon in the regu-f
lar army, distinguished veteran
Of the Mexican war. She receiv-
ed an education suitable to her
station. Her first husband was
DIR. Bryant, of Brooklyn. These
in brief are Mrs. Mackay's ante
cedents, yet She is constantly an
noyed by being advertised all
over Europe as a low ignorant
washerwoman, who through a
trick or accident succeeded in be-
coming tho wife of a millionaire.
No one will blame Mr.. Mackay
for getting mad and taking steps
to protect his wife from further
annoyance. Convict stripes would
not be too severe punishment for
the persons who are thus dogging
and prosecuting lady whose on
ly offenseis her wealth and social
popularity. As we have said, the
episode Is one which canses us-to
wonder at the scope of the female
character at the heights and depth
to which femininity can ascend
and acknowledgement.
