II anybody is politically close to Mr..
Blaine Senator Hale, OF Mr.. Blaino's
own state, may DO said TO havo that
honor. If MIR. Blaine were in the field
Senator Hale would know it and would
be for him from start to finish.
Senator Hale says that Mr.. Blaine is
out Of tho presidential contest and out
to stay. Col. Fred D. Mussey, in his
dispatches to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gasete, quotes Senator Hale as follows:
Mr.. Blaine has written one letter on this sub
iect. and that ought TO be final. lie has said that
he was not a candidate, aud did not want the
place, and his friends have to take him at his
word. 1t Is a noticeable fact that the mcn who arc
forcing the name OF Mr.. Blaine to the front. are
the men,. who. to a great extent. when he was n
candidate before, fought him all the way
through; and never lost an opportunity 10 stab
him in the back. | do not say tina: all OF them
are of this sort, for they arc not, but the most of
them are this class OF politicians. They are in
cllned to Mr.. Blaine now, not because they love
him any more than they did, but solely for tho
reason that they do not like the President, and
think in Mr.. Blaine they see a more potent and
powerful means for accomplishing the discom-
future OF the President. As I have said, the true
friends OF Mr.. Blaine know that he meant what
he said. and consider him as mn way a figure
in the coming convention.
This accords SO well with the situa-
ton as the INrELLlaEScER understands
it that the utterance is accepted as
authoritative. The Republican party
must take notice OF certain iacts%recited
by Senator Hale, particularly that
among those who are pushing Mr..
Blaine are men who hitherto have in
yariably been against him and who do
not now prefer him except as a club to
hit the President with:
Above this the patty Is Bound: to ac-
cept Mr.. Blaine's d~eclination as sincere
and final.

Tob acco in tho Wrong Place.

rEfHaH AsSNA ~ eho "EOuS IldC0s 10y
Tho 1STELLlGgNcER is asked whether
1t is impossible to do anything for the
protection Of women from the thought
%lessness or viciousness OF ~tobacco-chew-
ers on the streets and in other public
places. In several recent instances
dresses have been defaccd with tobacco
juice.
Men and boys have been known to do
this maliciously. Usually it is tho re-
suit Of grosslcarelessness It should not
greatly inconvenience q cnewer Of the
weed to hndtior his e1pectorations some
other place than the dress OF a passer
by.
It may DO said that tobacco should
not be chowed on the street, ut least a
man who elects from his mouth an ILL
looking stream, should seek n secluded
place for the performance. The INTEL
LldEScER docs not quarrel with this
view.
1t is enough for the present purpose
to remind tobacco-chewers that they
should respect the rights Of those who
do not chew tobacco, and who should
not have tho highways Of the city, or
any other proper public place, closed
against them!
1t has been suggested that the police
might do something in this regard Tor

Republican State Executive Commit.

2sepuDliCdu otNte
Tho Republican state central commit
tee has chosen tho following executive
committee to havo immediate charge Of
the campaign:
William NJ. 0. Dawson, Of Preston,
chairman.
Captain John X. Thompson, Of Put
nam.
I'D. Hewitt, Of Mercer.
G. W.. Atkinson, Of Ohio, secretary.
?. B. Dobblns. Of Ohio, treasurer.
The committee could not have been
chosen better with regard to its PSF
personality and its geography. Each OF
the congressional districts is repre-.
sented, Mr.. Atkinson from the First,
Mr.. Dawson from the Second, Mr..
Hewitt from the third, and Captain
Thompson from the fourth.
Mr.. Dobbins wa urged to continue
his connection with the committee as
ita treasurer because no is near the
headquarters and because he has given
complete satisfaction in that position.
From the point OF view oflocality the
executive committee is better composed
than ever before. In any emergencya
quorum will be easily secured. and us.
ually a full attendance may be had.
Moreover, there are no more capable
men in the state for the work than the
five who compose this executive COM
mittee. Messrs. Dawson, Atkinson and
Dobbina are already known in connec-
tion with work of this sort throughout
the state. Messra Thompson and
Hewitt have won their spurs in their re-
spective localities and have in addition
q wide knowledge Of the state and init
mate acquaintance with active party
workers in the state.
The character Of the committee is a
guarantee to the party of earnest and
effective work. 1t is the party's pledge
to. the people of an honest effort to lift
West Virginia out of the mire Of Dem
ocracy and place it on the solid rock OF
Republicanism.
The committee starts on its work with
great encouragement. It lays hold Of q
state which four years ago elected a
Republican governor; which gave Mr..
Cleveland, tho strongest man in his
party less than 600 plurality; which to-
day contains more Republicans than
Democrats by less than 1000; which
stands ready to break loose altogether
from its Democratic m%oorines.
The committee cannot land the state
where it ought to be-the people must
do that, every man doing his full duty,
contributing to the good work all there
is in him; but the privilege and the re-
sponsibility OF leadership are on the
committee. It will have the glory of
victory as it would have to bear largely
the blame Of defeat.
Every Republican in the state, every
man who feels that the state would do
well to step to the side OF the most pro-
gressivc commonwealth, owes to this
regularly constituted agency OF the Re-
publican party his cordial and active
support.
This the 1STELLlGEScER hopes the
committee may have from now until
the closing OF the polls on election day;
and this mcana a victory that will COM
mand tho attention Of the country and
i%naugurate in West Virginia a new era
Of development.

Important IfTrue.

We read that "Nlr. Blaine would rath.
er see General Alger nominated than
any other man and any other man
than Harrison" With due respect
to everybody's opinion, the IN
TELLIGENcER regards these statements
as open to challenge. Furthermore it
may be taken as a certainty than no.
body is authorized to say anything OF
the kind for Mr.. Blaine.
If Nh. Blaine had desired tie defeat
of the President he is powerful enough
to have made his nomination impossi-
bic, and long before this he could have
made the impossibility appear SO that
everybody would understand it.
Mr.. Blaine is more responsible than
any other person, more responsible
than all others combined, for tho nomi:
nation Of President Harrison in 1855.
1t is not probable that he is sorry ior
what he has done. The splendid ad-
ministration OF President Harrison is a
vindication Of Mr.. Blane's wise fore.
sight.
From the point of view Of the welfare
Of the Republican party and Of the
country Mr.. Blaine has greater reason
than he had four years ago to think
well OF Benjamin Harrison as prcsiden.

A NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

For some time past the hoodlums
have reigned supreme at the Opera
House. Whistling, cat calls, stamp
ing and general pandemonium has
prevailed so often that many people
have stayed away from entertainments
which they would otherwise have at
tended but for the disorder in the
gallery and in the front row among the
boys. Manager Dentler has determin
ed that this shall cease, and according
ly notices have been posted in the
Opera House that any disorderly per.
sons will be removed by policemen.
If this is enforced it will add greatly to
the size and comfort OF the audiences.
If those who have been creating the
disturbances think that it will not be
enforced, they have only to try the ex,
pertinent again in order to find out
their mistake. Since the notices were
posted the best of order has prevailed
at every performance.
