FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1892.
THE political sun that rises so bril-
liantly this morning will certainly set
this evening.
THE enthusiasm OF the Republican
party all seems TO be going 10 waste
over Mr.. Blaine.
-
THERE are great many persons
who really seem to prefer Blaine dead
TO Harrison living.
WE really fear that this State will
have to provide place for an audi
tor from each county.
-
The Hill boom seems to be pretty
well shattered, but the splinters are
making little trouble yet.
WITH the people for him and the
l., l,a
is. out OF which end OF the horn is Mr..
Cleveland likely to emerge?
ABOUT the only fellows who are re-
ally shouting for Harrison are the Of
ficeholders. And, after all, they are
simply yelling for the loaves and
fishes.
If there is one thing that ought TO
be borne in mind all the time by
Democrats it is the undeniable fact
that there will be no votes to spare
in West Virginia this fall.
THE New York Commercial Bulletin
censures Auditor p f. Duffy of this
State for not keeping a closer watch
on the wild cat fire insurance com
panies that are getting so numerous
in West Virginia.
CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN says that in
a few years the pension roll of this
country will amount TO $500, 900, 900,
per annum. 1t will probably amount
TO more than that unless more patriots
are found in Congress than have been
there Of late years.
The Baltimore Sun has come out as
an eight-page paper, printed on splen-
did new Hoe presses Of the latest con
struction. All the Sun wants now
to be really great newspaper, Is TO
spend little more money on it'snews
service. It's rather weak on general
news of the interesting sort.

IT is said that Hon. Steve Elkins Is
ineligible to the governorship OF West
Virginia The constitution requires
the Governor TO be a resident of the
State for FIVE years, and the most
that Steve can count up is but four
years. Thi. will be very disappoint-
ing TO large number of the faithful.

IT no longer seems 10 be any secret
that Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Harrison are
TO be set against each other in the
national Republican convention. II
Mr.. Blaine will only keep quiet his
friends will make the effort OF their
life TO nominate him and defeat Mr..
Harrison-and just now it looks as
though they have the power TO do IL.
THE Summit Point Democrats
adopted resolution offered by DR..
A. P. Thomson instructing its dele
gate to the congressional convention
Ito support no one for this position
who is not in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver or who
holds an equivocal position on this
overshadowing issue

A DESPERATE effort has been made
to compel the saloons in New York to
close on Sundays in conformity with
the law. The policemen make mum
Der Of arrests each Sunday, but next
day the saloon-keepers are set free by
the creatures of Tammany who act as
judges, to the shame of the city and
the outrage of decency and justice,
and so crime and disorder hold al
most undisputed sway.

UNLESS the greatest care is taken
the new ballot law-the Australian
system of voting-will cause many a
vote to be lost thi. year in West Nir-
ginia. At trial election held in Mar
shall county recently % per cent OF
the votes were not cast III proper
form and were liable to be thrown
out. At the second trial Is per cent
of the total number were not proper
ly voted. The danger is obvious.

There's no reason why a really good
farmer should not make really good Cow
ernOr-REGISTER.
That is true, and that is the reason that we
so UNFORTUNATELY urge ths selection and
election of Mr.. Sydenstrieker. He IS really
a good faimer and besides, an honest, ca
pable, intelligent man, and would grace any
position in the gift Of the people Of his State
-AdUOcdte.
WELL, the same thing could be
said of Mr.. Eastman and several
other gentlemen who are fully as
horny handed as Mr.. Sydenstricker
Mr.. SydeDstricker hasn't one claim or
