The West Virginia Editorial As
sociation held its annual meeting in
the city Of Parkersburg ON the 18th
and 14th insts. There were many
matters ofimportance to the fratern-
ity discussed 1t is the desire OF
every editor in the state to fill a
wider field. to serve his people better,
to do more good; in fact to grow in
every direction. To devise means to
attain these ends the editors assem-
BILE once year to exchange expe-
rience, to make suggestions and dis
cuss methods of advancement. 1t ia
gratifying to note that the last meet
ing was decidedly business one
and the members are in earnest in
their work.
This is the only way they can sue
coed. And by continued, earnest eff
fort, in a few years, wonders can be
accomplished. The Press of coun.
try is an unerring index to it's con.
dition, intellectually. morally and
financially. The efforts Of the local
Press have accomplished vast
amount in the development If West
Virginia and it must keep pace with
the growth Of the state.
In the hands of the editors is q
work second ouly to that of the
church. They deeply feel their re
sponsibility and majority Of them
are struggling to discharge Their
whole duty.
A very hopeful indication of what
may be done was evident from the
expressed desire to talk business and
let the junketing and pleasurine
features of the meeting take care OF
themselves. AT the next meeting the
New DOMINION suggests that no ex.
excursion be taken, but that the
whole time Of the meeting be relig
iously devoted to business.
Honest continued effort is the Sc
cret of success in everything.
Wont the brethren kindly let us
have some expression from them on
this suggestion.

Church Notes.

The new Southern M. e. Church
near the Morgan School House in
Marion County will be dedicated on
Sunday, November 1st 1891.
Next Sabbath at 10:45 at the
Methodist Episcopal church the
pastor will give some lessons from
Natures Illuminated Page. In the
evening at 1880 he will speak upon
The Livest Live Methodist.
The County Sunday School Con-
vention which was to have been held
here Oct Is and 16, was postponed
until next spring owing to unavoida-
BILE circumstances. 1t would not be
advisable to hold the convention
during the winter on account Of the
bad weather, but an elaborate pro-
gram is being prepared for the spring
convention. The date will be an
nounced in due time.
Last Saturday evening the Rev.
ID. L. Ash was treated to n genuine
surprise at the close of his first
Quarterly conference at Morgantown.
He found after the adjournment of
the conference, himself the recipient
of most cordial welcome by the Off
ciary Of the church with their wives
and lady friends. Rev. Mr.. Day babe
Mr.. Ash welcome on behalf of the
church and congregation, after which
by vote of the official board he in
troduced the Hon. Geo. G. Sturgiss
who spoke the welcome of the trus-
tees and stewards. Presiding Elder
Ash replied after recovering himself,
in some words Of appreciation of the
kindness with which he found him
self greeted. After this feast of rea-
son and flow of soul, all passed out
to the dining room. which was found
charmingly decorated, and partook
with the usual Morgantown vigor of
the savory refreshments always vel.
come to lay as well as clerical appe5
tjtes. The reception was held at the
and was, as usual, gotten
up by Mr.. and Mrs. Day.

The Elections.

Next week elections will be held
in number of States for Governor
and other State officers.
Those in Ohio and New York are
OF course attracting most attention.
If Ohio is carried by the Democrats
that would be blow to the Repub-
licans that would, at least, knock
the last prop out OF their tariff plat
form, il it did not effectually destroy
their hopes for '92.
On the other hand if New York
were carried by the Republicans,
that would be almost, if not quite
as hard a blow to the Democracy.
We expect to carry New York;
and as to Ohio" blessed are those
who expect nothing
There is one thing certain that
everything we gain in Ohio is clear
gain. Ohio is largely Republican
State. The Republicans are maxi
ing desperate fight to hold it,
backed by the national administra-
ton, and the immense money power
of the protected manufacturers, who.
every year, pocket enough out of the
tariff swindle to contribute literally
TO the Republican campaign fund.
1t would indeed be great victory
for the Democrats if they overcome
not only the normal Republican ma
jority but also the influence of the
immense campaign corruption fund
that is pouring into that State like
water 1t is almost too much to
expect
Nevertheless any gain as we have
said is clear gain. We do not have
to carry Ohio to gain victory. If
the champion ofthe tariff iniqnity be
elected, yet falls short by single
vote Of the Republican majority in
Ohio, that is defeat in it's relation
to national politics. Mckinley rep.
resents the tariff policy of his party
in the nation. He is the author O.
its bill, and is put up to demonstrate
that on that plank be can carry
Ohio, and having carried Ohio, can
carry all the Republican States on
the same platform. He has all the
resources Of the national Republican
party at his command to help him in
bis local fight. II he is beaten, OF
does not carry the Republican
strength, ~ his own State under
such circumstances, it ia q virtual
defeat for bis party.
Keep your ears open next Tuesday
and il you shear the Campbellf
coming" wink the other eye.

Congressman John r. Fellows, of
New York, in an interview with re-
spect to Democratic success in his
State in November gives it as his
opinion that "Mr. Flower will be cleo
ted by a handsome majority. We
may win the Legislature, too, though
that, of course, isn't so sure, owing
to the miserable system of apportion-
ment that five successive Republican
legislatures have perpetuated. Last
year the Democracy of New York
had a majority of $1,000 votes on
their congressional ticket, while they
only had majority of two in the
lower branch of the legislature. In
some districts it takes double the
number of Democratic votes to elect
a legislator that is required in Re-
publican districts. But notwith-
standing all this our State ticket
will be victorious, and so will the
national ticket next year."

STAGE STRUCK GIRLS.
Two Well Known Young Ladies Ares
ted on their Way to Join Show.

CLARKsBuRG, w. VA, Oct. GA
telegram was received here yesterday
afternoon from Mr.. Charles Fl. Cloudy
a we'll known citizen of Grafton, di-
reciing the police to arrest his daugh-
ter Pink, who, it was said, was run
ming away from home. Among the
passengers on the accommodation
train arriving here at $50 p. NJ, were
two beautiful young girls not over
sixteen years of age, one of whom
proved to be Miss Cloudy and the
other Miss Cora Boise, Of Keyser.
They were taken into custody and
placed in the st. Charles Hotel until
last night, when they were returned
home to Grafton.
miss Boise said that they had
made an engagement to join theat-
rical troupe at Cleveland to- morrow,
and that to elude their friends they
walked from Grafton to Webster,
about four miles, and took the train
for this city, hoping to catch the fast
express for the east. They were plen-
tifully supplied with money and APP
peared much chagrined over the fail
ure of their plane. Both young la.
dies have been very prominent in
society in Grafton, Parkersburg
Wheeling and this city, and during
the time they we're in charge they
received many friends who urged
them to return home and to give ~
their wild ideas ofgoing on the stage.

The bali given by the colored
people Monday night at Evans Hall,
under the direction of Matt Callahan
was the most notable event in color
ed circles that has taken place this
season. Ten ladies and gentlemen
from Kingwood and number from
Fairmont were present. There were
about thirty couples of dancers on
the floor and some fifty or sixty
spectators. Elegant refreshments
were served and dancing was con
tinued till 2:30 A. M. Our colored

1t is whispered that some of our
republican friends will ask the next

If he should be nominated on that
ticket we will be awful sorry for him.
