Senator Faulkner has introduced
a bountlful supply of bills in the
Senate, but the most important is
that one directing the payment OF
the district tax to the Governor of
West Virginia. This should be made
to stick, but many of the others will
die in their tracks.

MANLEYs POSITIVE ASSERTION

"The Old Man Is In 1t and In 1t to
Stay, and Will Be Nominated by
Acclamation"-Emm Blaine In
dorses ManIey's Assertion-General
Clarkson Misrepresented.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II. = James G..
Blaine is candidate for the presidential
nomination next year. In spite of all
statements to the contrary the evidence
that he is in the fight continues to ac-
cumulate. On what appears to be ire
prOachable authority it is positively
stated that Mr.. Blaine, while not seek
ing the nomination, has said to his
friends within the last forty-eight hours
that he will not discourage any efforts
they may make to dominate him.
Joe Manley, who is perhaps closer to
Mr.. Blame than any man in the country,
has been in the city for the last three
days. He left last night for Boston. At
the depot, just as he was about to depart,
he was waited on by number of district
Republicans, who are friends of Mr..
Blaine, and who wanted to know
would be a candidate.

and he said this: II occupy very deli

"But, Mr. Manley," interposed one of
the district Republicans, 1--WE will hold
our primaries next month and we want
to know whether or not to elect Blaine
delegates"
The train was moving off. Mr.. Man
ley jumped on the train platform, waved
his hand and shouted: go ahead, boys.
Send two Blaine delegates to the ma
tional convention. The old man is in
it and in it to stay, and he will be nomi-
mated by reclamation. have just left
his house."
While in Washington Mr.. Manley
said emphatically that General Clarkson,
who was charged with having said that
Mr.. Blaine was rot III The field and that
President Harrison would be renomi-
mated, had been misrepresented.
Emmons Blaine, who is also here,
when asked if his father would stand for
nomination, said
: my father occupies the same position
today he did in 1876 He is party man.
He is in the hands of his party just as he
was fifteen years ago, when he was de-
frauded of his nomination by trick,
and, if l may use the abused word, he
has 'consecrated' himself to that party,
and will be just as ready to lead the
battle now as he was then"

Quay Willing to Serve Again

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-United States
Senator Quay, when asked about a dis
patch from Pittsburg stating that he
had declared his intention of leaving
the senate at the end of his present term
said: mo, am not candidate for re-
election to the senate, nor do i expect to
be when my term is out. But he
added with smile, ''if the position is
rendered me by the legislature Of Penn
sylyania l will accept it."

Pres ident Harrison has made his
appointments of the additional U. S.
Circuit Judges. Among them we
find the name of Hon. Nathan Gofl
for the Fourth Circuit. West Vir.
ginia has an abundance of timber in
this line, and it can be well said OF
Mr.. Golf, that he is it every way well
qualified Cor the position He has

make an impartial and careful Judge.
This shelves him as an able
leader in politics, but, our best
wishes, Judge Golf.

4 GREAT 0nTPnz

That place called Minneapolis
where the republicans will hold their
National Convention in 1892 is noted
for the excellence of the flour there
made, as well as for the wonderful
amount Of output they are capable
of doing. Recently the water power
Was improved and last week the
aggregate production was 1s1 200
barrels against $4,000 barrels the
previous week and Il4,0U0 barrels
for the corresponding week in 1890.
That is a fair sample Of what Ameri-
can industry, energy and pluck is
doing in the far west. Protect our
industries, give the yankee nation a
chance and she will control the mar.
kets of the world.
