COCK RILL-ATHEY CONTEST.

1t was bruited about even before cleo
ton day that Mr.. .Athey would contest
the election of Mr.. Cockrill if he should
receive more votes than the republican
candidate for clerk of the district court,
and this intention on the part of Mr..
Athey doubtless had its origin in a hope
that the peoples party votes cast for the
democratic candidate could not lie
counted. or, il counted. could be thrown
out by a formal contest. The canvass.
ing board did Its work thoroughly and
found that MI. Cockrill was reelected
bv a handsome plurality. Then comes
Mr.. Athey, the defeated republican "a
didate. and gives notice of contest on the
ground that Mr.. Cockrill received Il
number of votes from members Of the
peoples party although he was not the
regular nominee Of sad party's convcn
ton.
We do not believe that this contest
will result ia saving the wounds of Mr
Athey. He will not he able to prove
that Mr.. Cockrill was not elected 10y the
honest votes of honest electors. and the
chances, therefore. are about ten to one
that the courts will knock Mr., Athcy's
complaint into pie. The men Of the pco-
pies party who cast their ballots for him
did so in good faith. He was before
them as a regular candidate for an office
with which they had all had dealings
They knew as well as the democrats and
others who voted for him that he was an
excellent officer, and they gave their
votes to retain him for another term.
1t is idle for Mr.. Athey to complain
that Mr.. Cockrill contributed to the
peoples party campaign fund. MIR,
Athey and all other candidates gave
their contributions like little men TO the
tons. If Mr.. Cockrill did likewise he
simply followed a custom that has long
been prevalent in american politics
The point for the public to keep in mind
is this: That Mr.. COckrill is the honest
choice OF the people of this county as de,
clared by their ballots. Would there be
anything fair or decent TO hin. or tc
the voters in u~nseating him on
the llimsiest kind of IA technical.
ity while every intent Of the
letter and spirit Of the ballot law has
been complied with: Certainly not, and
we believe that when the case is heard
Mr.. Athey will find that he has only his
labor for his pains. Public opinion Is
undoubtedly with Mr.. Cockrill, as it is
always with the man who receives the
largest support of his fellow citizens. and
in the a~rbitramcnt Of the courts "" dc
not believe he has anything to fear.

SILVER MUST BE FREE.

There seems to be some hope now
that the silver conference may be forced
to a realization of its duty to humanity,
Thus far it's deliberations have been
dominated by the gold ring, but the case
of the Irish tenant farmers having been
brought to its attention by Archbishop
Walsh of Dublin, has given IA turn to the
thoughts of the conference which may
result in good.
All students of the silver question
realize the folly aud danger of longer
putting off the reinstatement of silver in
its full legal tender majesty in this
country. If the conference could agree
upon IA standard Of ratio which would
bring other nations into the enjoyment
of the same benefits which we should
derive. 50 much the better; but whether
such an agreement is reached or not, sill

or nobody can foretcll the evils that
will result. Nothing clearer has been
spoken on the subject that what vas
said 10y Sir George l.. Wordsworth, an
Irish landlord. when he heard of the
archbishop of Dublin's remarks. lie re-
allies that the Irish difficulty is greatly
due to- the appreciation Of @oid, which he
says has advanced in value about % per
cent since 1871. This Irish landlord
further said: Landlords also suffer.
and mortgages and the like must be sat,
listed with the appreciated standard.
The substantial reductions made in rcuts
in the past generation have been made
Juatc to meet the difficulty. because the
reductions have not kept pace with the
appreciation of gold. The adoption of a
bimetallic monetary standard would
lead to a slight rise in prices and a Sc
we're fall IN the rates of interest. which
would result in increased commercial
activity throughout the world"
This. III readers will perceive at once,
is exactly the position the TEtBrNE
holds. and almost the Identical language
used in Il recent article. With silver
coinage free it would not he possible for
the holders Of gold to play the gnugc
game they have played ever since they
brought about its characterization IN this
country. 1t is not t. be supposed that
the people of the United States can be
forced to submit to outrages such as
have been perpctratcd upon the pco-
pie Of other nations when they
once fully understand the question. and
fully realize who aud what are the men
and policies that are crushing them.

Hon. Wm. I. wilson for Vice President

Hon. w. L. Wilson is one of the brainiest
men in Congress. He is also very popular
with the members; likewise he is we'll
known and highly spoken of in almost ev-
cry State in the Union. From the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from Florida to Maine,
he is fayorably known. There is not a
prominent meeting, celebration or banquet
where the literary exercises partake OF the
great political issues of the day, that Mr..
Wilson is not in demand.
Why, then, should not the twelve West
Virginia delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton cast their votes first, last and all the
time for w. L. Wilson for second place on
the Democratic ticket? Cleveland and Will
son, Palmer and Wilson, Russell and Will
son, or any other name for the head of the
ticket with Mr.. Wilson as his running mate
would be a strong combination. 1t would
makeWest Virginia doubly sure in theDem'

never swerying "for a moment from the
sense Of duty aud conviction Of justice by
which his action in the premises was I'M

was manly and consistent from the outset, "

Whatever chagrin Col. O'Ferrall may suf-
fer from the rejection by his Democratic as

heroic quality Of unhinchihg courage and
the prompt appreciation of every Democrat

this method Of stating my position in refer

the numerous letters aud inquiries received
upon the subject. By way Of explanation
it is only frank to say, that owing largely to
the circumstances attending my defeat for
reelection in 1887, that l have not felt
averse to becoming a candidate again with
the view Of reversing the political record
made against me-by receiving the endorse
ment of the Democrats Of the State if they
felt inclined to accord it to me-provided
my health and numerous business enter
prises permitted me 70 undertake additional
labors and responsibilities at this time. l
have been twice defeated l think undeserv-

receiving the party nominations, and | con-
fess have looked forward to a time when
