, No position to be filed by the people
Of West Virginia this fall is Of greater
Importance than that Of superintend-
emit of Schools; nor is there any Office
in the competent administration Of
which every home in the state is moro
directly interested.
Thomas @. Miller, the Republican
nominee for this position, is not only a
popular candidate, but is one Of the best
equipped men in the state. He holds
high rank among tho foremost educators
OF the country, for his fame ia not con
fined within the boundaries of his
native state. he has been in demand
from other states as an institute in.
structor, and enjoys the distinction
throughout the length and breadth OF
West Virginia as the Gblest Of all such
instructors, while he is loved, respected
and admired everywhere for his high
character and his spendid record as q
public school man.
Mr.. Miller is not, like his Democratic
competitor, engaged in any other fol-
lowing. He is professional educator
and that has been his life's work. He
is q man Of broad and liberal views on
all educational matters, is equally a
friend of the freeschools and the higher
institutions of learning. Himself a col
lege man, he is as friendly to the inter
.ests Of the university and the colleges
of the state as to the normal schools,
while, since the lines of work in his
chosen profession hayebeen cast among
the public schools, he is an enthusiastic
supporter of all movements to increase
their efficiency. Add to these qualifca-
tons the fact that Mr.. Miller is a man
of progressive ideas, possesses splendid
executive ability, is a Christian gentle
man, an ex-soldter who has buried the
animosities Of the war, but who has not
forgotten what it was hefought for, and
you have a fair picture Of the next state
superintendent of free schools.

The "esteemed but confused" Register
doesn't seem to see the difference be-
tween the actions of the Republican.
and Democratic conventions regarding
recognition Of the farmers. The point
made by the IN%rEI1IsBNcER was that
several candidates were presented to
the Petersburg convention as repre-.
sentative farmers and recognition was
asked for them. Every one Of them
was turned down. They had made their
canvass as farmer candidates and they
came before the convention as such.
One OF them, a leading candidate for
governor, was even cruelty deserted at
a time when his nomination wa prob
able.
The farming element Of the state
have no cause for such grievance against
the Republican convention. They
came before 1t with no candidate for
place to ask recognition in vain, Had
they presented . representative they
would undoubtedly have received re-
spectacle treatment for there was NO

The Republicans Of West Virginia
ought to win. They have nominated a
strong ticket and their candidates stand
on q platform which embodies every
Republican principle.
By history and interest West Vir-
ginia's rightful place is in the Repuhli-
can ranks. Spurning secession and dis
union, she turned her back upon the
parent state aud had a new birth into
freedom and statehood. The develop
ment Of her wonderful resources can
only be fully accomplished by the
maintenance Of the Republican system
Of protection. Reasons practical and
sentimental bind her to the Republican
party.
And her march in late years had been
steadily towards the old and true field.
From Is, 1000 in 1875 and 1000 in 1880,
her Democratic majority fell to 1900 in
1884 and 552 in 1888. The current is
Republican.ward. With astrong ticket
and a sound platform, it needs only
harmonious and united effort to place
West Virginiain the Republican column
and make the first break in the Solid
South.

OF the hated Reed rules-and it was the

of them all, and the n that was de-

M Wonder Ther arc confnsed.

It is hard for a First district Demo-
crat to understand just where to find
himself, or rather where to find his
party, on the silver question. Two
years ago John o. Pendleson was noni-
mated for Congress on a free silver
platform. He was elected, but when
he carried out his instruction sandSoted
for free silyerhe was roundly denounced
for it by his constituents. He was even
counseiied by his party organ, (which
had supported him, with his free
coinage plattorm) to dodge the ques-
ton.
Then, this year, these self-same DEM
ocrats met at Weston to select delegates
to Chicago. Hero, again, was a free
coinage resolution unanimously passed.
It was a virtual instruction to the First
district delegates to vote for a free sill
yer plank at Chicago. The opportunity
came when a free coinage substitute
was offered in the convention for the
straddle reported by the committee on
resolutions, but the delegates voted for
the straddle, ignoring their instructions.
Now, once more, the First district
Democrats assemble in convention at
New Martinsville, and what do they do?
They renominate Mr.. Tree-coinage,
Peudleton and endorse the national
platform, which isn't for free coinage
but Gas a straddle) is acceptable to Mr..
Cleveland, who is eternally opposed to
a free silver policy-the policy for
which Mr.. Pendleton voted in Con-
greas.
It is no wonder that a First district
Democrat doesn't know whether he is
on his head or his heels, andlooks help
less when asked4ow he stands on the
financial question, which is one Of the
most important issues OF the hour.

THEBE is one part of the Democratic
national platform which a great many
people are anxiously wondering if Mr.
Cleveland will endorse in his letter OF
acceptance. Those who would like to
know Nj. cleveland's position are not
all Republicans. Among them are
thousands OF Democrats. They want
to know what is wrong with the ma
tional banking system that his party
deaounces it in its platform and advo-
'cates a return Of tho wild cat banks.
1t is a grave question which Mr.. Cleve-
land should not be permitted to ignore.
Mr.. oleveland's friend Whitney, who is
something Of a anancier, might consent
to advise him on the subject.

THE following is taken from the Regis
er,s local account of the return of the
Ohio county delegation from the Re-
publican state convention at Hunting
ton:
The members OF the Ohio county delegation
all expressed themselves as well pleased with
the result. They say Nj. Hooten was q little dis
appointed In the outcome OF his race for the
authorship. Mr.. 7. J, Hugns, OF Ohio county,
was well satisfied, however, and was very much
pleased at the strength which he secured in the
convention. He had not benin the race more
than two weeks, and had not made q canvass
outside Of Ohio and ~neighboring counties.
The delegates all expressed themselves as well
pleased with the conventions choice for the
head Of the ticket As one delegate put 1t,
''They say Davis Is not well enough known
throughout the state, but there Is such q thing
as being too well known He thought MI. Davis
would Be a strong candidate, as he Is a good
business man and possesses all the necessary
qualifications for governor. although not agood
public speaker.
And SO it is all over the state Repub-
licans are thorouehly united on the
ticket. Davis is a growing candidate.

Or all the silly declarstions made by
Democratic journals and speakers, in
their attempt to secure the support ofthe
farmers for their free-trade candidates,
the silliest is that they are taxed to death
by the "Robber tariff bill" known as the
Mckinley bill. Doesn't every farmer
know that the tea, coffee and sugar con-
sumed by his family pays no duty, and
ere on the free list? And doesn't he not
know that the same thing IS true Of hides
from which the leather in his boots har-
ness, etc, is made2 Does be not know
that the clothing he and bis wife and
his children wear is Of American manu-.
facture and is made from American ma
terial; that the implements he uses are
Of American manufacture, that they have
no revenue duty, and are now cheaper
in the market than they ever were be-
fore? Aside from his groceries, which
as wesaid before, pay no duty, what i'm.
ported dutlable articles does the farmer
use orConsume2
What farmer or farmers family wears
foreign-made clothing, or uses foreign
made Implements on which duty tor tax
has 10 be paid, or what is there about his
house or his farm that is imported from
abroad ? How then, is he directly taxed
by the McKialey tariG iav? Ia short,
what does any farmer pay, IN the shape
Of taxes, towards the support Of the Ma
