cratic f;lith) clearly scanning the
suggestions occasionally published
in reference to the next Democratic
candidate from this district. AS a
Democrat, one who neither seeks
nor wants Office, but one who espe-
cially desires the success of the party
at all times, allow me to suggest the
name of man who can not only be
elected, but one who will in no way
enter into the unfortunate factional
troubles which ended so disastrous
ly to the party at the last election.
As Democrat l can see no reason
why we should not have party pres
tige in the old Fourth. In Judge
John e. Mcclure, of Wood county,
we could have a. man not only of
ability, good Democrat, who is
sound on the vital issues of the day,
an O-NSOiAOhI psaHllstulSlJdrldu,a gOOu
lawyer, and one of the most. popu-
lar Democrats in this end of the
State. His past record in Wood
county is one of success. He is the
only man who could possibly carry
the county of Wood against its large
Republican majority. This he has
done and can do again. The 600
or 800 majority usually cast for the
Republican candidate would be
overcome by Judge Mcclure, whose
friends and he has hosts of them
are members of all parties. Judge
Mcclure, is especially the friend Of
the laboring classes and they should
have something to say in. the mat
ter. If Judge Mcclure should be
nominated there would be no per-
sonal animosities raised, as has been,
unfortunately during the past few
years. Can the Democratic party of
the fourth produce a better one? /
think not. OLp FOURTH,

lThe New EleclIon Law.

Wheeling Register. E
In one particular at least, the cleo,
tOral campaigns which are to be
fought this fall-in West Virginia
will be under new conditions. The
extra session of the legislature pass
ed a billslast winter broadly prohib-
iting the use of money in any form.
The features of this act are so sweep
ing and comprehensive that they are
worthy of careful study by all citi-
zens. Political workers may find
that the devices which were once so
successful to begniIe the ehterpris-
ing voter, will beguile them now in
to a penitentiary berth instead of
a political. POSITION In some re-
spects, it appears that the trainers
of the bill have overreached them
selves, and while striving to check
corruption, they have created law
which hampers legitimate political
labor. Following will be found
the main features OF the new law in
brief:
"Any person who loans, pays,
gives or promises to loan, pay or
give any money or thing of value
to delegate to a convention, or
furnishes transportation to any del
egate, or hires persons to work for
his nomination, shall be fined not
less than $500 or more than 81 900,
and confined in jail not less than
thirty days or more than six months
Any person who gives, loans, offers
or promises to pay any money or
thing of value to another in order
to secure vote at an, election for
himself or for another shall be sub
ject to the same penalties provided
for similar offences in regard to
nominations. Amy person who tam
pers With the ballot box, or in any
manner, changes the ballots after
they have been cast, is made guilty
of felony, and is to imprisoned in
the penitentiary not less than one
year or more than three The law
makes it the duty of every Judge to
give this act in special charge to the
grand juries. sy r

HE silver Question.
Congress is unable to agree ON
, the Window silver bill. The point
in dispute iswhetHer the certificates
for the silver bullion the secretary
is authorized to purchase without
limit shall be made redeemable in
silver bullion or silver coin, at the
option. of the government, or wheth-
er they shall be redeemable in law.
full money of the United States
alone, meaning any kind of money.
and only such money as is received
for customs or dues and obligations
to the government in general, with
out mentioning bullion or coin. A
majority of the Senators say they
will suffer Congress to adjourn with
out any legislation whatever on the
silver question before they will sub
nit to the bullion clause being left
in the bill, as the silver certificates
will then be prejddiced and depreci
-ated, and whenever any one presents
them for redemptionthe government
may. and in a majority of instances,
will Send out bullion, which many
people will not want. They object
to any discretionary power being
given sthe treasury department.
They demand that kind of money
which is received by the govern
ment may be demanded and shall be
paid for the redemption of the bull
lion certificates at any time.
Why the coinage of silver dues-
tion is limited is not fully under
stood by the business men of this
section. They all remember that
the Act of 1873 which was enacted
by a Democratic Congress and pass
ed over the Presidents veto, was the
first substantial encouragement the
people had since the crush of 1873.
AS the bright new silver dollars be-
gan to circulate, times began to get
easier and the people began to pros.
per. We are glad to hear it stated
that count of the house shows that
more than three fourths of the Dem
ocrats will vote outright for the free
and unlimited coinage of the silver
dollar. Probably one-third of the
Republicans will vote with the
Democrats In the Senate the adj
dition of 12isilver Senators from the
West probably gives the extreme
silverities majority in that body.
But one thing stands in the way,
and that is that President Harrison
will probably veto bill for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and
the Republicans don't care to meet
the issue the veto would raise.
But the Democrats should force
the issue, so far as it lies in their
power, increase the coinage of sill
yer, and give the people more
money, to enable them to better
withstand the hardships of the high
and unnecessary taxation which the
present Republican Congress seems
determined to continue.

A Huntington individual goes to
the penitentiary for life for stealing
two bottles of beer. He had been
there twice before, and under our
law conviction of felony the third
time subjects a party to imprison-
ment for life. He ought to have
known that he would be punished
severely for committing petty
theft. IF he had broken into a
Bank, or held some one up in the
town, and stolen $4,000 he would
have made robbery respectable and
would have been acquitted by a ajury
of his peers"

AS Governor Carr, he would be an

The people of North Carolina are
making a wonderful industrial prog
ress. They ought to have a man in
the Governors chair who represents
it. Julian S. Carr started life with
moderate means. He has built up a
colossal business right here in North
Carolina. He has more than kept
pace with industrial development in
his State, until today he stands as the
typical business men of North CARROLL
ma. He is in sympathy with prog
ress. 1t is his slogan. Nominate
him and he will pursue a policy as
Governor that will advance North
Carolina more within four years than
she has advanced during the last ten.
Nominate him, and every class of men
of every creed within our State can
support him. He would be elected by
twice the majority that any other
man could poll.
He is the man. Let us make him
