DIR GREETING.

As formally announced in this col
umn last week, with this issue THE
CHRONICLE changes hands, and in ODE
dience to the custom of such occasions,
the new management herewith makes
its bow.
1t is an easy matter to figure to our
selves an ideal newspaper, and to form
ulate the policy and principles on which
such paper should be managed. 1t is
easy at the starting of any enterprise to
make broad and catching promises. But
to either prefgure policy that will in
each case be pursued, or to promise
what will in every case be carried out is
impossible. Unforeseen emergencies
demanding unthought of action are GER
tain to arise with changing conditions,
and high resolves made in the ardoT of
theory will as surely fail of attainment
in practice. In taking charge of THE
CHRONICLE therefore we make no prom
ises,and will suggest but few principles.
We expect to maintain the papers high
standing as a reliable business organ,
and propose to increase its efficiency as
a news medium. The first business of
a newspaper is news. and with gather
ing news we desire mainly to concern
ourselves. The paper will be as in the
past thoroughly Republican, unless that
party, untrue to its traditions, ceases to
represent the best sentiment and to
maintain the high principles which it
does, and has always represented and
maintained.
OF the outgoing editor, his eighteen
years control of the paper has enabled
the people to judge. The good esteem
in which both he and the paper are held
by brother editors is shown by our col
umn of clippings. We have had with
him none but pleasant relations, and
have benefited much from his advice.
1t is our wish to know personally all
the old patrons of THE CHRONICLE as
well as new ones, that we may more
completely represent their interests and
speak their opinions. To the numerous
friends who have assured us of their
confidence and good wishes. we tender
our thanks, as also to the profession,
who through their columns have well
coined US into the editorial ranks.

A SAFE COUNSELOR.
Martins Ferry Times.

Martins Ferry Times.
In this weeks issue of the Belmont
Chronicle, Mr.. W. A. Hunt, for the past
eighteensyears the editor and publisher
of that journal, bids farewell to his read
ers About four years ago Mr.. Hunt
sustained painful injuries, from which
he has never fully recovered, and that is
given as the chief reason for retiring
from the editorial management. The
paper has been prosperous under his
management and has reflected the SEN
timent of the better element of the Re-
publican party of the county. During
the period he has managed the ChrOni
Gle, the success of Republican princi-
Piles and the good of the people have
predominated its course, and whatever
errors have been made have been of the
head and not of the heart. The Repub
lican party of the county loses safe
counselor and a good manager. On
April /, Messrs. G. C. Carroll and E. L.
McMillen assume the management of
the paper, both of whom are young gen.
tlemen well equipped for the work and
will no doubt prove satisfactory to the
party and the people generally. May
they be highly successful.

A HOME OPINION.

st. Cairsvie Gazette.
The Belmont Chronicle was sold to-
day "wednesday by Mr.. Hunt to Messrs.
E. L. McMillen and c. C. Carroll. The
price is not stated, though it is believed
to be such as keeps up the reputation of
newspaper property in st. Clairsville.
Mr.. Hunts valedictory appears in this
weeks issue, and the new proprietors
take charge at once. Mr.. Hunt has had
charge of the Chronicle for Is years, and
while he has made his paper at times
bitterly partisan, yet, his personal con-
duct toward his professional brethren
has been uniformly kind and obliging,
and the good wishes of all follow him
into his retirement He will not embark
in any other business at present, but
will spend some time in endeavoring to
his own and his wife's health.
Ofthe new proprietors, Mr.. McMillen
has had considerable newspaper expert
ence, having done work on the ChrOnt-
Gle, and latterly has been attached to the
staff of the Pittsburgh Commercial Gaz
ette Mr.. Carroll has been doing work
on the Chronicle for the past few months.
Both are educated, genial gentlemen,
whom we delight to welcome into the
fraternity.

NELSON z. REED, owner of the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, died on
Saturday night from an attack of the
grip, which developed into acute
pneumonia. In his death Pittsburgh
journalism loses a man of energy and
wide grasp of mind
Mr.. Reed was born at Butler, Pa,
and was 40 years of age at the time of
his death. When young man he en-
tered the business office of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, and rose to be business
manager of that paper. In 1866. as a
member of firm, he purchased the
Gazette, which was combined with the
Commercial in 1877 Mr.. Reed soon
came into almost entire control of the
paper, and from that time its rise was
rapid. He was a m ember of the United
Presbyterian Church, and his paper was
accepted as spokesman for that de-
nomination in Western Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Reed daily supervised the conduct
of affairs about the Office of his paper,
and was conversant with the smallest
detail of business or editorial manage
ment. The cares of business seemed
never to excite him, and though solving
a difficult problem, he preserved the
same exterior geniality. By honesty
and strict adherence to duty, he rose
from poverty to a position of wealth
and influence, and made his character
felt in directing the destinies of his
paper. He was widely known, and ap
preciated as man of sound judgment
and keen foresight. He was man
easily approachable, and treated every
one with the same gentlemanly cor
diality and consideration. He was
loyal and answering Republican, and
a power in the councils of his party.
His death causes deep and wide regret.

Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1891-04-02
HOLD TO THE OLD PLAN.

THE proposition to have the Repub
lican State Convention declare its
preference for United States Senator
and thus bring the personally of the
Senatorship into the campaign, presents
many Objectionable phases. 1t was not
the design of the trainers of the consti-
tuition that the people should choose their
Senators directly, but exactly the con-
trary was true. The Senate as check
on the House, the body of the people,
was designed to be removed from the
power of the people to change in day
by any sudden reversion of public
feeling. AS such body the Senate
stands to-day. To indorse man for
that position and conduct the campaign
on such an issue, would be practically
equivalent to electing Senator by pop
ular vote. When the constitution is
amended will be time enough to pursue
a course which is now an evasion of the
spirit of our fundamental law.
Then again it behooves the Republican
party to drag no entangling issues into
the campaign. By steering clear of the
Vaccinations of cliques and factions,
the cry of mckinley and Protection"
would furnish the momentum to carry
the party to victory with bound. To
pledge the party to any candidate for
Senator. at the beginning of the cam
paign, must necessarily make the friends
of other candidates sulky and less active
for the interests of the party. Such a
condition would assume the nature of a
dead load during the entire campaign,
and possibly cause defeat. With the
Senatorial question but minor factor,
the party would go in with but one
choice for the Gubernatorial chair and
no sore heads. The Republican leaders
need to act slowly in this matter. No
such innovation should be inaugurated
on the impulse of the moment. After
the battle for Governor is fought and
won, the time to talk about a Senator
will be ample. Then any hard feelings
which might be engendered in such
contest would have ample time to heal
before the beginning of another cam
paign, and thus work only benefit to the
Republican party.
