PRINCIPLES. NOT MEN, WILL
WIN.


The ARGUS is at loss to under.
stand why certain Democrats and
Democratic newspapers insist that
Hon. VIM. j.. Wilson must be our
standard bearer for Governor. The
ARGUS does not question their mo.
tives, loyalty or genuine Democracy,
and accords them sincerity in their
advocacy OF Mr.. Wilson's nomina-
tion, but it is at sea when they
allege. that Mr.. Wilson is the only
Democrat who can lead the gallant
Democracy to victory. The old
rock-rIbbed, hard shelled, all.wool
and-a yard-widc Democracy of
Preston county, who have been
knocked about and cuffed for a
quarter Of century by the enemy
of the Banner Republican county
of West Virginia, do not share in
tkis belief. We are used TO the
boasts and threats Of the enemy,
and have put in quarter of cen
tury single handed and alone fight
ing such bluffs, boasts and threats,
and we don't propose at this late n
day TO surrender to the enemy.
We in Preston fight for principles,
not men, and every Demo cratic
vote in Preston will be cast for the
Democratic nominee for Governor.
We always have to fight our battles
without outside help, for the leaders
of our party look upon us as hope
lesslY lost, while the leaders Of the
Republican party never fail to ZEN
derall necessary assistance. Fight
ing against such great odds, be it
said to the credit of the noble De-
mocracy that they have never taken
a step backward. Since the year
1872 we have gradually increased
our vote in Preston, which counts
as much on the National, State and
Congressional ticket as any county
in the State. We are not com
plaining of our treatment at the
hands Of our leaders, but we sim.
ply NSht to say to the Democrats OF
other counties. :" Get of your duds
and fight - for there is not Il
Democrat in West Virginia who
cannot lick Stephen b. Elklns and
his barrel for Governor.
The ARGUS believes stephen b.
Elkins to be the weakest man the
Republicans can nominate, and it
has evidence to back that belief.
Stephens band will not play the
prominent part many imagine.
But why waste your time, hrcth-
rem Of .he Democratic press, Steve
EIkins will not be the Republican,
candidate this year. The Rcpubli-
cans are not that foolish. You
can set it down as dead certainty
that one Nathan Golf will be the
man whom you will have to level
your battery at. lie, and he alone,
will be the Republican candidate
for Governor, and bis broad
shield Of American law" after a
season Of four years rest, will bc

The DIFFERENCE.

There was II maiden. have heard them say,
who I'm the golden dawn ~ lies glad day
With her fresh young hopes aud her face so lair,
Arose one night in church for prayer.
Both wealth aud honor were at her command
Aud the faithful thronged her ON every hand.
The maiden retired, and the preacher prayed
That peace with her Maker be speedily made
While the Christian people in louder strain
sang Praise God" over and over again;
So great the rejoicing In pulpit and pew
For mercy that dropPeth from heaven like dew.
woman, there was, In that church who stood
And longei for part IN the cleansing blood
For hor youth was gone, and her life "A waste,
And the fruits OF sin had bitter taste
But she was a girl OF the town, they sail,
And shrank from her touch Ike that OF the dead
The woman remained but of al that stir.
Not one kind word was there offered 20 her;
rill Jesus OF Nazareth, passing by,
Caught up from her sow tlrat silent cry
And the "ro ch me not" of earth was oSt
In the Come unto Me- uf heavenly host.

The oracle sends up a plaintive
wall that the ARGUS is "attacking"
it :! After recovering from the
attack" it discovers that it has
been the means of making it popu-
lar with the people of Preston, and
invites the ARGUS to continue its
"attacks." The benevolent hand
Of the ARGUS is always extended to
The Dccdful. Its mission in tins
world is to alleviate the suiTerings
If the aged and dccrepit, to comfort
md succor the distressed, to cast
the bread aud beefsteak to the hun
cry, and to protect the young and
innocent and point out to them the
path of fcctitude which leads
aifnence and "A happy home lu
Heaven. The OIUcke must not mis-
interpret the motives Of the ARGUS.
Jealousy" is II word which the
Oracle cannot find in the ARGUS,
and, If in its mission OF good will
and God speed it occasionally reads
its young and sensitive contemporary
: curtain lecture ard administers il
i merciful chastisemcnt, 1t must
receive it in the same bencGccnt
spirit in which it is given.

Genital Theatre fire on Wednesday
night was recovered from the ruins.
All the members of the company are now
accounted for and tho work of searching
the ruins for possible victims among the
audience is being proceeded with. By tne
light Of half a dozen electric lamps tno
dismal work of searching for the dead was
prosecuted all last night. Az O'Clock tne
body OF Thomas Loreila, the gYmnast; was
found. IL was dreadiully burned and was
only identified by q pair of rabber-soied
shoes on the feet.
At1.9O another body was found near that
Of Iorellas. II was first supposed TO be
that OF Sarah Goldman. the ballet girl
but this morning. by means OF. few tuits
OF black hair still remaining on the
sbriyelled skull. 10 was recognized a..
