newspapers in the State to 're-organ-
ize" the Democracy without consulting
the regularly constituted committees OF
the party. 1t is possible to do such a
thing as to get the cart before the horse.
There was nothing wrong with the
Democratic executive committee last
fall-unlesS It was lack of means with
which TO conduct a vigorous cOmpaign.
The Democratic party in West Virginia
needs worst of all thorough local or
ganization. The Democrats of every
county should 90 to work and get them
selves in shape. After these integral
parts OF strong political organization
are formed, they can soon be welded in
to whole.

nation proceedings begun by the Nor

Some Democratic papers are inclined
to express the fear that Republican
''mOnkeying' with the next census re-
turns will give Republican counties in
West Virginia strong reprcSentatiOnsin
the Legislature, and Democratic coun-
ties will suffer in proportion. The fear Is
probably groundless. There is gener-
ally limit to the capacity to do evil,
although there is no limit to the appar-
ent Republican desire.

In our shanty boat.

A man in this town has taken a novel
method Of informing his creditors that
il they crowd the mOurnerS he will Sched-
ule on them. He got up typewriter
circular and gave fellow two dollars
and a half to deliver copies TO the peo-
pie Interested. His example will no
doubt be followed by otherS.-H,uting-

o The Huntington, Parkcrsburg and
Charleston dailies are among the REGIS
TERs most valued exchanges. but they
have a tantaizing habit Of turning up
missing when most wanted. Very ire
Iuuently the editions OF these papers
have not arrived at the REGISTER Office,
or when they did arrive were from
twelve to twenty-four hours late. 1t is
to be hoped that no vile conspirator has
undertaken to suppress the editions Of
these bright and newSy journals.

The average Fairmont Republican
makes no bones OF saying that 'Olc
Hayes" wasn't elected President. This

equipped for the task. His work Will
doubtless prove of high interest to all
West VirginianS.

The rapid development of the Eureka
oil field has made it necessary to lay u
new pipe line from Eureka to Pittsburg.
Why should not Wheeling or ParkerS-
burg be made the centre of this oil
trade? 1t is West Virginia oil. and it is
being largely developed by West Nir-
ginia capital. Can't the business be
kept at home?
-
The REGISTER feels called on to re-
turn its thanks TO the press OF West Nir-
ginia and its immediate neighborS in
Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA for the many
kind and complimentary notices that
have recently been rendered it. They
are especially marked in view of the
'latc unplcaSantneSS' in political way,
which has stirred up the journalistic
! fraternity more or less. The REGISTER
hopes that it may continue to merit all
the good things that have been said
about il. and that occasion may soon
arrive when it can return them with in
tereSt.

At present the Fourth Congressional
District is the most reliable Democratic
district in the State. Democratic har-
mony and the proper candidate are all
that is needed i'm order To gain victory.
While the Democrat chose III. c, Simms,
OF Cabell for its choice Scme time
since. it will be pleased to see Rankin
Wiley, Jr., of Mason, 4 most excellent
Democrat and thoroughly suitable
man in the race. While everyone has
favorites, it is doubtful if the Democrats
could make a wiser choice than TO
choose Mr. Wiley for the next standard
bearer Putnam Democrat
