ues-Scme Of tie Reasons Given for
the Great Landslide.
We present to the REGISTER readers this
morning the opinions of the State press.
OF ootn political parties. of the result of the
election last Tuesday:
PROUD or THE SCHOLAR IL POLITICS.
The great transactions done and the
country is saved once more, and we will
now be able TO sleep with both eyes shut
torawhile, something we have been afraid to
DO Tor sonic time with so much Republican
devllmeut going on all around us. 50
We are prouder than ever of our own
William l.. Wilson, the Scholar in Poll
tics, and heway in which the gallant De
mocracy of Preston stood so nobly by him
in spite of all the hard work done by "our
friends the enemy to beat him. Republi-
can rallies were held in all parts of the
county, the Silver Cornet Band of King
wood was paraded through the county to
the tune of SO per day, paid in money col
lected from the farmers by the Mckinley
bill, the biggest guns IN the party were
brought into the county, Federal Office
holders with whisky and Doodle were sent
here TO work, and the orders were that Will
son must be downed at all hazards, and that
ii could be done in this county.-kingcood

Up SALT RIVER.
Well. we are boating on Salt River, we
have been there before and so have the
other fellows Its only necessary
20 saw that the present crew, from hat
down 10 boots, including all other raiment
and all necessary produce, flour, beef, hogs
and hominy, were the products of the
American people. We carried the Amer
lean flag, hurrahed for American homes,
farmers, manufacturers and laborerS, were
without an English rag, and the only fel-
lows who bothered US We're English ships,
skippered by Grover Cleveland, Hill, Pat
tison and others, and manned by many
citizens who made their money here and
went TO spend il abroad, on their way 10
England for cargo of English goods 10
sell in the American markets.
However. we will be back in 1892 cunning
for the Englishmen and other American
torias and aid in driving them out of the
American market-MdHtsbWg Indcpend-
eHt (R,p).
TIE RESULT = DISAPPOINTING.
The election returns both from the State
and this county are not such as we eX-
While this result is disappointing, never
theless il is no reason for discouragement.
Suffice ii to say that before anoth-
er two wears roll around the Republicans
of Barbour will be fully armed against
political treachery, and Will know just who
among their number can be bought and
The miserable demagOgic cry of increased
taxation raised by the Democrats, and their
little conspiracy whereby prices We're
raised and charged TO the passage of the
Mckinley bill, VIII react CA them with
fearful force iu two years, Just rs lie and
fraud always does. Let them enjoy the
little fruits of their victory now to the full
est extent; il is but tempo rary. -PhhipW

THIS SENTENCE Has BEEN PASSED.
The party Of force,
of arrogance. Of sectionalism, Of DOODLE Of
high tariffs, unjust taxation and corruption
has been brought to the bar of judgement,
and the people have passed sentence re
firing it from power.
Our own West Virginia, which they
have sought TO colonizd with negroes, TO
corrupt with DOODLE and 10 bulldOze with
revenue officials will send solid deleSa-
ton. Our own w. l.. Wilson. for whose
defeat John W Mason used the whole in
ternal revenue department, will 80 back
with a majority that will make these
usurpers sick 10 contemplate.
With Cleveland in the Presidential chair
for a term this policy OF force and taxation
win be forever obliterated and govern
meut of the people, by the people and Tor
the people once more rcStored-NtW

WEST ymcINN'S Political STATUS SET
tiled.
The result in this State settles West Nir-
giuia's political status beyond all question.
Never before did the Republicans make
such an effort. The Democrats were on
,heir metal. did good work and it speaks.
Credit must be given 10 the thinking mem
bers Of the Republican party, who, seeing
that the policy Of their party was opposed
to the interest of the people and 10 the
popular government, was manly enough 10
assert their independence ana vote Tor the
Democratic candidates and principles,
The more the issue of tariff reform IS
considered the stronger it will grow.
Our country speaks IN no uncertain
terms on this and the other questions IN
volvcd in Tuesdays election.

AUST EEBUK E TO REPUBLICAN FRAUDS.
This is enough to make US crow loud and
long The people Of West Virginia have
administered lust rebuke 20 the frauds of
the Republican party in - in attempting
10 colonze the State for political purposes.
They have shown by their ballots their
disgust at the federal fice-hOlders, mostly
belonging to the Internal Revenue and L.
= Narshal's departments, who have
packed conventions and nominated men
against the protests of the honest yeomanry
of the party. IL is a rebuke TO the Mckin-
/ ley and Force bills, and shows very plainly
that the people of West Virginia were
more intelligent and not so easily gulled as
/ the Republican leaders supposed them TO
/ be-GrdftoH Leader DAM
TIE VICTORY PARTLY DUE To LIBERAL RE
PUBLICNNs.
We owe il mainly to the hard
working Democrats, but partly to the
liberal Republicans who refuse to be long
err hoodwinked by their party bosses, and
who have read and thought for themselves
and acted upon their convictions, forsak.

UNEXPECTEDLY DISASTROUS.
In West Virginia the result is uneXpect
eddy disastrous.
II is useless 10 mOralize over the result
and entirely unnecessary to grumble. The
gazette proposes to take the matter phllo-
sophically and to keep on contending for
Republican supremacy in the State. Little
set-backs like that of the present occasion
will occur and only briefly retired that
which is inevitable, namely, the securing
of Republican victory in West Virginia.
IL NAV be half-a-dOzen or even ten years
before this desirable end is attained, but
reached ii will be, as sure as time rolls on.

THE PEOPLE REDRESS THEIR WRONGS.
Neither colonization, Doodle nor Federal
oAireholders could prevent the people from
registering their opposition to Republican
methods last Tuesday. The Gay was cold
and raw and ordinarily but light vote
would have been pOlled, but this year the
people were aroused as never before ana
| from every section comes reports OF
heavy vote and large Democratic gains.
Fraud may triumph for awhile but the
