ADigniaed Contest.

In connection with the contest at
Minneapolis, there is one thing which
should be particularly gratifying to the
Republican party. It is that no matter
who is the chosen leader his supporters
will have nothing to regret or to apollo
gize for in his personal conduct pre-
vious to tho nomination. Notra man
whose name has been used in connec.
ton with the presidency before the
Minneapolis convention is in the posi-
ton Of having used any undignifed
methods to bring about his nomination.
No personal effort has been made by
any one. This is not only true of all
those who have been mentioned as
dark horses, but 1t is true of Mr.. Blaine,
sit is also OF Mr.. Harrison.
Concerning the attitude and the con.
duct OF President Harrison throughout,
the conservative and independent Phil.
adelphia Ledger does him the credit to
say that under most trying circum.
stances fine, manly dignity and re-
serve have characterized both what he
has said and what he has done.
Continuing, tho Ledger says that,
though entertaining the honorable and
proper ambition Of denomination to tho
office OF President, he has never by &C.
ton or speech given reason for the be-
lief that for single moment no has for.
gotten what was duo from him in re.
spect for and duty to his high office of
Chief Magistrate Of great nation. "Ho
has como about the work his country.
men put upon him four years
ago with unfailing devotion to
it, never letting the cxigencics
of his candidacy interfere with
his official responsibilities. He said,
not long ago, that il his countrymen
desired his continuance in the office OF
President during another term, ho
would be happy to comply with their
wishes, but beyond that simple, digni.
fsd declaration of his candidacy Mr..
Harrison has done or said nothing. By
no public act or word has he sought to
influence the choice Of his party's rep.
resentativeS at Minneapolis. AS for his
administration its record is its best
OuloEipm, and 1t needs no other. So,
whether successful or defeated, Presi.
dent Harrison will stand in an equally
favorable light in the just estimation OF
his countrymen."

Special Correspondence Of he Iateligaez.
CAIRO, W. Va, June s.-The Ritchie
county Republican primary election
passed of very quietly Tuesday, about
three.fourths Of the entire Republican
vote being polled. The contest for the
various nominations was very interest
ing, but was entirely devoid Of any jill
feeling, and there are. no breaches IN
the party TO be healed over. For sheriff
there were five candidates-M. ID.
Tarleton, Samuel Hatfield, o. S. Martin,
Benjamin Meats and P. R Tharp.
Tarleton was nominated by about 100
plurality over Hatfield, with o. s. Mar
tin as a close third. Tarleton is very
popular, has always been a straight-out
working Republican; never asked for
or held office before, and will add
strength to the ticket. I
r. II. Freer was nominated for prosei
cutting attorney, receiving a ma1ortty
over his four competitors. -
The nomination for house OF delegates
is still in doubt, E. @. Fox having two
majority over Colonel Mckinney, with
one small precinct in the interior Of the
county to hear from, which may giYeit
to Colonel Mckinney. -
Col. Mckinney was member OF the
house otdelegates one term, is straight
out Republican and his nomination
would help the ticketvery much. A.C.
Cunningham is the nominee for survey
or, and J. NJ. Brown and ]. o. Inch are
the nominees for assessors. -
Richie county Republicans are en-
thusiastic. There are no factional fights
on hand. They can depend on for an
old time Republican majority.

Tho Platform.

The platform adopted by the national
Republican convention is a splendid
declaration of principles. No back
track is taken on any public question;
there is no straddling, no evasion. 1t
is a platform on which every American
citizen Who believes in American man
hood can stand.
Upon this platform tho Republican
party will go before the country and
will win. 1t has the ringing sound Of
true Americanism. 1t defines the is.

He should Keen cooi.

SeaatorP. W. Morris is in Minneapo-
lis He is an alternate delegate to the
convention, and since his principal is
a''o present, OF course the genial sena.
TOT has no vote in the body. However,
heh getting a great deal Of fun out Of
the occasion. As a looker-on in Venice
he telegraphs to a newspaper IN this
ely that the other members of the
West Virginia delegation are busily at
work misrepresenting the sentiment Of
the Republicans Of their state.
Senator Morris is a very ardent Blaine
man, and SO were the others until Mr..
Blaine said he was not candidate.
Because they took MIR. Blaine at his
word, Senator Morris thinks they are
false to their constituents. It may be
that Senator Morris's intense desire to
secure the Republican nomination for
governor has gotten. the better of his
judgment. He ought to know that the
Republicans of West Virginia will be
Tor the nominee of the Minneapolis
convention, and are willing to trust to
the wisdom of their delegates there to
do the right thing at the proper time.
They are cohscientiously performing
their duty, and because they have re-
trained from being carried away by
waves of temporary enthusiasm, it does
not follow that they are less discreet
and cool-headed than their selt-consti-
tuted critic.
Whether they vote for Blaine or Har-
rison or some other man they will be
moved by desire to do what they con-
ceive to be the right thing. Certain it
is, that they, like all West Virginia Re-
puolicans, will be Blaine men, or Har-
riton men as the case may be when the
nomination is made. Better still, they
willbe for the Republican party and its
principles, no matter who is the leader
chosen.
On the issues that divide the parties
this year West Virginia IL Republican,
and Republicans are not going to let
their preferences for this candidate or
that candidate attract their attention
from the main question.

In the current number Of the North
american Repisv Mr.. Bellamy again dis
cu.ses his favorite topic Of the spread
Of nationalism in the United States.
Mr. Bellamy naturally claims that the
progress Of humanity in the direction
Of the solution of its social problems is
evidencs2 of the spread Of his pet
theories, and labors to present the
evidence to the minds Of his readers in
a convincing manner. BE succeeds
only with those who are welded to his
principles, for to eyes not dazzled by
the glamour Of his Utopian dream the
evidence he presents points in quite a
different direction.
A carefully studied review Of the arti-
Gle mentioned appears in the New York
Commercial BMlstin of yesterday, and is
one of the best expositions Of the falla-
Gle, of the nationalist theory We have
vet seen. Mr.. Bellamy declares that the
nationalist issue, in its best sense, (the
doctrinSlthat the principles Of popular
government should be extended to
economical as well as to political organ
ization, and that all capital and labor
should be nationalized and admins
tered through chosen agents for the
equal benefit of ally, is plant Of recent
growth but is the outcome by an evolu-
tiOnary process of the democratic
theory of government
The B,Aletin, in its review, combats
thsauthor's assertions. The nationalist
movement. it says, according to Mr..
Bellamy, would have arisen fifty years
ago had not the slavery question en-
listed the energies Of those who would
have taken up tho cause. The Brook
Farm colony and other outgrowths of
soeialistic and communistic enthusiasm.
are claimed by him as the early mani.
icstatian- II the NationaliSt spirit, and
the later organizations ond combina-
tiOps are claimed as leading in the same
directions.
Oar reviewing contemporary makes
the point that these assertions might
have been written by an opponent of
nationalism since SO fafas all the move
m.,4s referred to have partaken Of ma
tionalist features they have met with
failure and rejection. Tho Bulletin says
on this point:
