All should Have 1t,

Wtst Virginia Republican (Fayettc County,
One OF the best newspapers in the
state OF West Virginia is the Wheeling
lNTELLIGEScER. 1t is one OF tho Oldest
and has ever been recognized as one OF
the best Republican papers in this state.
1t first saw the light of day in 1852,
eleven years before the birth OF the
state, and ever since then it has cham
pioned the rights OF the people whether
the banner OF the Republican party
flew high in the air OF triumph or was
dragged in the dust OF defeat. Its tele-
graphic service is complete and
it has corps OF special cor
respondents uneXcclled anywhere.
This year national campaign is
on and every Republican should BIO
thoroughly posted as to the doings OF
his county, state and nation. Every
Republican in the United States should
take good local paper and after that n
good general newspaper, and this he
will find in the WEEKLY lSrELLIGEScER.
1t is a mammoth publication, ably and
carefully edited in every department,
and tho farmer, the laborcr, the bust
ness man and the professional man will
alike find something in its columns OF
special interest to them.

In West Virginia,

With its eye on West Virginia the Bal
timore Sun says that with Cleveland fol
President and William l. Wilson for
governor t.there would beiinspiration
for hard work all along the Democratic
lines" And need Of it, too.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Wilson would
be no stronger than their party. West
Virginia Republicans, in all their calcu.
lations for gthis campaign, figure the
Democratic strength at its maxim.
This is the problem to be solved. 1t
will be solved to the Republican salts.
faction if the Republican vote can be
got to the polls, into the ballot-box and
on the return sheets. If all the Demo-
cratic votes and all the Republican votes
shall BIO polled and fairly counted as
they shall be cast the state will be
carried into the Republican party.
A strong Republican ticket that will
inspire the .partyawith. confidence will
contribute to this result. A weak Re.
publican ticket would contribute to
Democratic success.
The ISTELLIGEScER believes that the
Republicans OF West Virginia are deter
mined to put their strongest men on
the ticket. 1t looks as though tho
ticket will be prepared by the party,
not BY aspirants to public honors.
The Republicans Of West Virginia do
not feel that they owe nominations to
anybody, but rather that they owe it to
the party and to the people to place on
the ticket men who will run well and
serve well after they shall! have been
elected. Tha people want a chance and
look to tho Republican party to give it
to them. ~.

The Mclshmon Arc Coming

EIIzABETH, \. j., May ll-Ground was broken
at Elizabethport today for the tin plate factory
of Norwood & Co, Of Wales, which will
cover three acres Of ground fronting on Staten
Island Sound. and have n capacity OF turning
out 1000 boxes q wcek.
4 large force OF men has been set to work grad.
Ing oil the ground and getting ready for the
foundation. The plant will be in opcrItion-sO
George B. Norwood. the American representa-
tive OF the firm, says-thTce months hence.
1t is plain that our Welsh friends dc
not understand the situation. They
can hardly be aware that it has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction oil
every Democratic free trader in America
that We cannot make tin plate in this
country-wo don't know how, can't
learn and have no intention OF trying.
There seems to be something in the
atmosphere, as wo gather from the free
traders, which makes the sheets hostile
to tho tin and a certain mysterious
something else which fills tho heaving
bosom Of the tin with feeling quite un.
like an affinity. The free traders un.
derstand allabout those things, why they
are so and how long alter the presiden.
tial campaign they are likely to last.
But here are the Welshmcn going
ahead as though the inability to make
tin plate in this country were moro
buggaboo raised by free traders to
frighted capital out of embarking in the
American tin plato industry.

Their Little Scheme.

The gentlemen who are planning tho
defeat OF President Harrison in tho
Minneapolis convention arc represented
to DO 100 shrewd to determine on the
man under whose banner they are 60
ing to enlist. They fear even to trust
themselves so far in advance.
They prefer to let things drift until
the convention shall have made its plat
form and got ready for the real business.
Then they may allow Mr.. Blainc's name
to be sprung and tho convention to be
stampeded into nominating him.
So that the Maine statesman cannot
have a chance to decline, he is to be en-
tertained at some country place where
there is no telegraph-the convention
will adjourn, Mr.. Blaine will be the
nominee, and will he dare to decline?
The mind that conceived all this and
drew it out in an orderly programme is
in great danger of nervous prostration,
to say nothing Of pariesi,.
Would Mr.. Blaine decline a nomina.
ton under these circumstances? He
has said that he would decline an cleo
ton. He may not know his own mind,
but he thinks he does and will continue
to think SO.
Mr.. Blaine is not clay in the hands of
any potter. He continues to be "all
right" the pride Of his party and the
admiration OF his country. But he will
not run for the presidency this year.

A careful reading OF this paragraph
will disclose tho sufficient reason why

fail. With SO much in the Presidents
favor, with SO many good reasons for
asking him to try it again, it is not
possible for any handful OF disgruntled
politicians to stampede tho convention

Why IL Womb Work,

One thing may be said OF the men
who arc moving everything they can
command to ressurrect the Blaine
boom-they are. not friends Of Mr..
Blaine.
The Blaine boom was laid to rest by
tho only man in the country vino could
do that thing, and no is the only man
who could reviveit.
Mr.. Blaine deliberately withdrew
himself from consideration as presi-
dental quantity. 1t is his intention to
remain out OF the contest. All the
plotters in the country can not induce
him to about face, This is one fact in
American politics Of which there can
be no question.
West Virginia Republicans, among
some others, had to be assured OF this
beyond peradvonturo before they would
consent to consider any other man.
Mr.. Blaine's true friends believe in his
honesty and cannot be made to do any
thing that would look like a reflection
on his sincerity. This will DO fatal to
any elevcnth-hour mako-believc Blaine
movement.
The Minneapolis convention cannot
be stampodcd in that direction; which
