The Republican Convention at Pied
mont next Tuesday has an important
work to perform-tos select the strong
est candidate to carry the district. 1t
can be done. 1t must be done. An
other term for Mr.. Wilson means
triumphant free trade and triumphant
democracy. The people want neither
perpetuated. They are for represen-
tative more closely allied with their
interests,-a farmer or business man.
Mr.. Elkins is the man if he will &C.
cept. Preston has Mr.. Dawson;
Marion Prof. Thos. C. Miller; Bar
bour, A. G. Dayton; Grant, Mr.. Har-
man. Berkeley and jefferson have
good material. The nomination
should come from this end of the dis
trict. But it is the man 10 carry the
district who is wanted.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION RESOLUTIONS.

The Republicans of West Virginia IN convention
assembled congratulate the people of the United States
upon the renewed business prosperity Of the country
achieved under the guidance of the great Republican
party The administration OF President Harrison has
been in fitting accord with the past history of the par
ty, patriotic honest Trustworthy, watchful ofthe
best interests of the Nation, devoted to the public ser
vice. We heatily endorse it and commend it to the
people in contrast to that of his Democratic predeces
sor.
We congratulate the people of our State upon its
recent industrial development, made possible aud fos
tered by protective tariff; and, as tending toward
It's highest development, we especially congratulate
them upon the great and successful effort made in the
campaign of 1888 to overthrow the Bourbon Democra-
cy of West Virginia, which success though nulliied
for time by the nnexampled crimes Of debascd
State Government has nevertheless been accorded us
by the higest authority of the Nation.
THE CRIMES OF TIE DEMOCRACY
We arraign the Democracy of West Virginia for
series of crimes against the beraties of the people
without parallel in the history of this country. We
charge them with deliberately violating the Constitu
ton of the State in refusing to open and publish the
returns for Governor in the late election.
We charge them with criminal disregard OF the
wishes of the voters of this State expressed in their
choice of Governor at that election, by which action
the rghtuly and legally elected chief magistrate was
deprived of his Office, and man who was not elected
and who not the choice of the people installed
in the position And this the Democratic party &C.
complisbed at cost to the tax payers OF West
Virginia.
We charge them with the ATTEMPTED theft of three
seats the United States House of Representatives,
with the aid of subservent tool, welded by desper-
ate political tricksters, aud by of theft and
bribery, infamous snbterfuges and disregard Of the
decisions of courts and other proper constituted legal
/ bodies, certificates awarded to three defeated
candidates.
We heartily thank the Republicans of the House
of Representatives for undong this wrong, and call
upon the electors of West Virginia to rebuke the Grim
mails who attempted it at the polls

rsPRcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
CHICAGO, July 29.-The fight in the courts
between the temperance and the saloon eIe-
ments to determine whether or not saloons
shall be located within the prohibitory district
of Chicago. which was formerly the suburban
towns of Hyde Park-within which is Jack
son Park, in which part OF the Worlds Fair
is to be held-and Englewood. Is now
fairly on. The Mayor has just filed his answer
in the mandamus proceeding by which NJ. j.
Morrison, a resident of Hyde Park, seeks TO
compel him to issue license to Morrison for
saloon fronting on jackson Park. The Mayor
in his answer recites the fact that the place
where the saloon is proposed to be located Is
within the former village of Hyde Park, that
previous to annexation in 1889 an ordinance of
the Town Council of HYDE Park prohibited
the sale of liquor within its borders; that when
hyde Park was annexed to Chicago, provision
was made in the act OF annexation that the
village ordinance should continue in force un-
Hyde Park should be given by a majority of
the voters residing there. and by reason of
these circumstances the Mayor had no power
to grant the license asked for.
The feeling in the annexed district of HYDE
Park against the introduction of saloons is
very strong. Meetings have been held and
money has been raised by popular subscription
to keep them out. The adjoining district of
Englewood is not directly affected by Morri-
sons application for a license but residents of
Englewood are no less active in their oppos-
tion than those of Hyde Park. The citizens Of
each district have obtained permission 70 en-
ploy counsel to assist the attorneys who repre-
sent the Mayor. Morrison, as has been indi-
Gated IN previous dispatches, is backed by all
the power and influence of the Brewers Asso-
citation. If he is permanently. defeated no
liquor OF any k1nd can be sold within about
two miles of the jackson Park end of the
Worlds Fair.

BE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED.

Prince Bismarek's expressions since his
retirement from Office have great deal of
interest and zest. The old Chancellor is
evidently determined to make up for life
time Of official reticence by revel of frank
ness after the cares of Office have been thrown
of But there is a failure on his part to
recognize the inevitable result of some infiu-
enees that have been powerful in Germany,
in his complaint of the cowardly wav in
which he has been ignored by most of the
German press. Says the ex-Chancellor:
Organs like the Berlin Post and the Cologne
Gdzefte, which used to have a lively connec-
tion with me, now shun me as if 1 we're infected
with the pesrilence. ! never thought that the
German press could show such lack Of cour-
age and behave in such q cowardly manner.
There is no doubt that the most marked
example in modern times of the quick deser-
ton of fallen greatness, has been presented
by the way in which the German press has
turned its back on Bismarck since his dis
missal and has paid its court to
the powers that be. That this is cow
ardly and servile, as the old statesman calls
il. is also plain. But the one man in
Germany who has no right to be surprised
or indignant at the exhibition of those
qualities is the man of blood and iron.
This is for the simple reason that be, more
than any other man, is responsible for the
system which made any other qualities in
an Official press impossible.
The true cause of this servility may be
seen in Prince Bismarck's reference to the
papers that were formerly dependent on
him. This brings out the fact that under
the imperial system which Bismarck estab-
lished not only was independence and cour-
age in the press discouraged and suppressed,
but that the utter dependence of the organs
on the ruling statesman was insured by
subsidizine them with public money. A
prezs that is supported by Government
