Bh.. Editor: In our reasonable desire 10
recognize the services and merits OF party
leaders and workers. we are in danger OF
forgetting the importance of sending the
strongest and most influential delegation
possible to the National Democratic Con-
vention and securing the most faithful ex-
preston of our sentiments. Other States
will be represented by their ablest and most
eminent Democrats, many such having been
elected already, and the West Virginia del
egation ought to include men not inferior
in national reputation and party standing,
as well as brains, to their associates.
In the nomination of candidates and the
making of platform, questions will present
themselves requiring the wisdom of tho
statesman as we'll as the ssgacity of the
politician. There will be differences aris-
ing from conflicting views of party policy
and duty rather than from the rivalry OF
candidates. 1t is to be desired that the
Democrats of West Virginia shall be rep
resented by delegates who believe that
"party honesty is party expediency" and
that the wisest course of the party as well
as its duty is to make an unequivocal dec
laration Of its principles, and especially OF
its purpose to carry on the fight against un-
necessary and unequal taxation, and to
nominate candidates distinctly identified
with the great reforms to which it is pledged
The second choice of the delegates fel
the presidential nomination may not be
less important than their first choice. Gen
tlemen not wholly in sympathy with The
views outlined above might votein Conven
ton for Mr.. Cleveland out of admiration
for his high character and splendid record
or in compliance with the popular demand
for his nomination. But if the assembled
wisdom of the national Democracy should do
eide that the ex- Presidents not available by
reason of the situation in New York, such
gentlemen might be led by personal prefer
ence or sincere views of eIpediency to vote
for some Democrat who has not been con
Il
spicuous in the struggle for tariff reform
and who, however worthy of the honor o.
the nomination, would not represent, in the
eyes of the people, the ideas which are the
life of the party.
The purpose Of this communication is tC
urge the election of Hon. VIM. L. Wilson
as delegate-at-lsrge to the Chicago Conven'
ton. No Democrat in the State can more
faithfully represent our sentiments; none
WELD more influence in the Convention
Mr. Wilson's activity in behalf of the great
cause to which his party is committed and
his earnest advocacy Of the denomination
if practicable, of Grover Cleveland make
his election to the Convention a duty we
owe to the party and the country as well az
to ourselves. The national Democracy will
expect it of the State and the rest of the
State will expect it of this District. The
honors due other Democrats among US may
be- conferred at some other time.

CAPTAIN Campbell at the Armory.

1t will be remembered that Captain Campbell
delivered in Armory hall last March, to an i'm
mense audience, very interesting lecture por
trayinga the great conflict of the Monitor and
Merrmsc and each type of modern war vessel
now in use and being built Many who We're
unable TO hear this lecture have expressed de-
sire that it be repeated, and many who were
present have urged the repetition. Stevens
Post, OF the G. A. r., has succeeded in making
arrangements with Captain Campbell to deliver
the lecture in Armory hall next Thursday even
ing. They have made ample preparations to
comfortably seat all the Armory will hold, and
such arrangements as vii! beyond any question
enable each one attending to hear without dis
turbance every word uttered and to enjoy with.

promote the welfare of the citizen
soldiers, hopes that some plan may
be adopted by which several field days can DC
set apart for competitive athletic exercises
among the men. He suggests that each regi-
ment form within itself association ana
have three competitive exhibitions each year.
When the best men in each line
are determined then there should be a contest be-
tween them for the final regimental prizes. lie
thinks this would not only be greatly 10 the
physical advantage of the men, but would slim
ulate an interest and activity on the part OF the
guardsmen that would redouni greatly TO the
benefit OF the service. All three local companies
last week received a number of supplies from
headquarters at Olympia. The fact is that mat
tiers are running very smoothly among the mil
itia at the present time. This is as it should be,
and II harmony continues to prevail the Ma
tional Guard of this state will take proud place
among similar organizations throughout the
country. Colonel Green has project to take his
men on Memorial day, after the parade is over,
out to some open space, not yet decided upon,
and give them a two hours battalion drill
The Armory Is not quite large enough for some
of tho larger field exercises under the new
regulations and the colonel wants to give the
men some active practice in this unfamiliar
work The summer encampment has aroused
a degree of enthusiasm among the men that
none but a soldier can understand. 1t will be
very largely attended from the Seattle COM
paniea A large number OF applications Is
coming in for membership in all the CON-
panies. This may result from the knowledge
that the boys will have good time at camp.

one
The new rules and regulations prescribe that
