The First Appellate Convention.
The winchester Democrat, the pc

The Winchester Democrat, the per-
sonal organ of Judge Beckner, criti-
cising the calling of an Appellate Con-
vention by what it calls "snap judg-
ment," on the part of Chairman Van
SAINT, refers to the editor of the Capt.
tai, who, as member of the State
Executive Committee, represents a
few counties in the First Appellate
District, and who sent his proxy to
Mr.. Vansant. The Democrat says
"they telegraphed to Polk johnson,
the member from the Seventh Dis
trict, whose bitter hostility to Judge
Beckner, one of the leading candi-
dates, is well known. He sent his
proxy to Mr.. Vansant, who used it in
manner that doubtless Col. john
son approved" The facts are stated
correctly. Mr.. johnson telegraphed
this message to Mr.. Vansant, in reply
to his own: "Cannot come. Vote as
you think best" He had no thought
of Judge Beckner, nor his candidacy
for Judgeship, when he sent that
message, and not until the Convention
had been ordered, and Beckner had
declined to be candidate, did it oc-
cur to him that he had sent a proxy
in matter in which the latter was
interested. Had the thought occurred
to him prior to sending the message,
he would still have sent it. "Bitter
hostility to Judge Beckner" does not
render Mr.. johnson ineligible to serve
as a member of the State Executive
Committee, There are persons who
might regard it as an additional
qualification for such service. The
editor of the Capital does not lie
awake at night devising schemes to
thwart the ambition of Judge Beck
ner. The game is not worth the can
die, and his sleep is sweet and I'M
broken by dreams of broken pledges
and betrayed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

When Mr.. Stevenson was First
Assistant Postmaster General new
quarters were needed tor the postoffice
at Bloomington, ILL.,, and number OF
gentlemen wrote to him urging that
the office be removed to Stevenson
Block. Mr.. Stevenson in reply wrote
stevenson Block,is owned.by mem
bers of my own family, which fact,
while sustain my present position,
wholly excludes it from consideration
as a location for postofiee- The eX-
ercise of official power to promote the
peuniary interest Of ones self or
friends cannot, in my judgment, under
any possible circumstances, be jnsti-
fed"
Mr.. Stevenson's last sentence is a
good enough platform of Civil Service
Reform for any man to stand upon ;
and it is a sufficient answer to the
campaign insinuation that the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Vice Presiden-
cy belongs to that class of men in pub
lie life with whom public office is
simply private snap.-N. Y. World.

According to the weekly review OF
trade by r. G. Dun & Co., business
generally is in most healthful state,
the volume for July exceeding that OF
July last year by fully Is per cent.
AS rule, collections are satisfactory,
and immense crops and active bust
ness in all branches are promised.
Imports are still enormous, and the
cotton mills are sold ahead from four
to eight weeks. The general outlook
at the South is very bright.

Mob Law.

Chief Justice Bleckley, of Georgia,
recently delivered an address before
the Bar Association of that State,
which puts mob law in its true light.
He shows the distinction between the
mob and the people, practically ST.
lencing the argument urged in many
quarters that the people being the
rulers, can at any time take the law
into their own hands. 'Tn such mat
ters," urges Justice Bleckley, "the
people cannot act otherwise than
through their legitimate agents. By
appointing these agents and commit
ting all punitive power into their
hands, to be exercised in the name of
the people and for the good of the
people, the people renowned COM
pletely and for ever all right and
power to transact such business in
person or by means of their own di-
rect Intervention" Mobs are not the
people, but seceders for the time be-
ing from organized society, outraging
its fundamental principles and tramp
ling on its institutions. The making
of laws by mobs would not be coun-
tenanced, nor should the administra-
ton of law by mob find favor.
Anything which assumes to be bet
ter and tends to make itself bigger
than the jury is out of place." says
Chief Justice Bleckley, where trial
by jury is an institution of the county
and forms the chief bulwark for the
security of persons and property.
Society works by and through estab-
lished institutions, and can work
wisely and safely in no other way.
To weaken or discredit these institu-
tons is to enfeeble the government
and bring authority into contempt.
This is good doctrine for Georgia and
every other State where bodies of
citizens deem themselves charged |
with the punishment of criminals
without trial by either judge or jury. |

THEM'S OUR SENTIMENTS.

II am Democrat who believes in
gerrymandering," said Senator Board
in the Senate Wednesday, sand if
had my way l would gerrymander
every Republican out of office. That's
politics, and politics is just what jim
Jewell says it is. There's nothing
personal in it. / believe in a man
having the courage OF. his convictions,
and speaking and voting his senti-
ments at all times and places. Iwant
to put Judge Holt out of office, and
put Democrat in his place, just as
want to put out every Republican in
Kentucky that holds an Office, and
put in good square Democrat"
Senator Board is plain-spoken gen.
tleman, who has no habit of hiding
his light or his opinions under a
bushel.-Frankfort Capitol.

Harrity heads the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, Don Dickinson the
Campaign Committee, with w. G.
Whitney as First Lieutenant, and
German will probably be drafted into
the service of the Advisory Commit
tee. 1t is strong organization and
there is nothing on the other side to
match it. Nevertheless, faith in
Cleveland's election is best grounded
upon the peoples faith in Cleveland.
Democracy must win with principle,
rather than with the machine. TWAS
the party consciousness of that fact
that again called Cleveland to the
leadership and relegated Hill to the

The dedication of the Watterson
Club at Louisville, last Thursday eve-
ming, was an event to live with the
lives of the immense audience, and
then on historic pages to be revealed
to generations unknown. Hon. Adlai
f. Stevenson made speech free
from sectionalism, giving honor to
whom honor is due, and marked out
the path through which capital and
labor differences could be adjusted,
denouncing reckless administration,
the robber high tariff, and the infa-
nous Force bill. Mr.. Stevenson was
acquainted with the South prior to
1860, in the din of battle through the
entire war period, and that time
shameful and disgraceful to Ameri-
can citizens, reconstruction days,
that was a time when the souls OF
men were tried. 1t was time when
thieves of the North pilfered Southern
homes and took the earnings of others
who dared not oppose. A repeating
of those days would follow on the en-
actment of the Force bill. These are
sentiments of our Vice-President can
didate not alone, but of every man
who reasons to a conclusion, and vet
there are men in our midst, respected
and honored, who would have a Force
bill in effect to-day purely for one
reason-the perpetuation of the Re-
publican party in office, giving ma
tional spells to a favored few, legis-
lating for the moneyed king and
at the distress of the hungry
and naked masses. The robber tariff,
the Force bill, and the time will come
when the battle cry will be sounded.

to take cent less than $4,000, 900,
the Worlds Fair people have agreed
to accept $2,5O0,000 in full of all obli-

The campaign cry of the Democrats
of the South is "No Force Bill" Such
war cry should inspire everp voter
who has the interest of his home at
heart. 1t should be enough to make
the South so solid there would never
be any such thing as shaking it from
its foundation. 1t should not only
poll every Democratic vote inthe South
but every Independent vote. Let the
war cry be heard Louisville Post.

There is a State law prohibiting
medical men, unskilled in their pro-
fession, from imposing on the public.
1t covers the entire ground, and yet
our City Fathers have given ear to
some of our local board and by an or
dinance forbid even the most skillful
from coming to our city where the
poorer classes could avail themselves
of their treatment. There are travel
ing physicians who are skilled in their
profession, who are men of unlimited
research and have had long, bene-
fetal experience. These men are for
hidden to practice within the limits of
Mt. Sterling. Who is to judge of their
proficiency? Ii the schools from
which have graduated gives them a
certificate testifying to their knowl-
edge and skill together with the re-
quirements of the State Legislature,
what more could the public ask? To-
cal physicians have no better guaran-
tee as to their proficiency. But it is
said they are professional quacks.
What makes them so? Nothing but
an open violation of their code of
ethics. If there be travelling quacks,
there are local quacks, and at last the
people must draw the line. From the
same reasoning, patent medicines are
the productions of quacks, the dis
pensing of which should be prevented
on the same ground. That ordinance
is wrong, and is of that character of
protection not favorable to the people
and for the benefit of the local few.

ton from the Company.
Mr.. Pollock-But they say they will
accept 1t.
DR.. Campbell-Butit don't come from
them.
Mr.. Pollock-The Secretary is here,
and he will say.
Mr.. Emsheimer-Is it from the Com
pany, or from you?
Mr.. Pollock-From the Company.
Ask the Secretary; he's here.
Mr.. Emsheimer-This is mixed up
business, I'm afraid. l don't go into a
bargain Of that character. 1t ought to
come straight from the party asking to
be released. Are you here to represent
the Gas Company, or the city of Wheel
Ing? That is the question, What will
the citizens say when they send you
here to attend to their business?
Mr.. Wilson, take little different
view from that OF my esteemed and
eloquent friend, Mr.. Emsheimer, does.
That the supply Of gas is decreasing, is
evident TO all. If 1t was not, the Com
pany would not have cut off the manu-
factories. That is as good proof that
the Company has not the gas as any
one could want. The whole
thing turns on this point: Is the
city OF Wheeling going to hold
on to point where loosing business
will compel the Company to abandon
the city altogether, with no gas for any
one, or afford relief? 1t is a question
Of which is best: No gas for any one,
or no free gas. l feel very much like
relieving the Company, II they will bind
themselves to make no raise. l don't
know whether Mr.. Pollock's paper COW
ers the ground or not, but think it is
all right.
Mr.. Dobbins-What is the status of
the resolution?
The Chair-It was read for informa-
ton.
Mr.. Dobbins-I understand it is a
substitute.
Mr.. Pollock-If adopted, it does away
with any further consideration of the
committee report.
Mr.. Dobbins-The propositions trikes
me as about right, and if it is offered as
a substitute, will vote for IL.
DR.. Caddle-I would be glad to vote
for it. | had some such thing in my
own mind, and was preparing resolu-
ton providing for settlement by arbi-
tration.
DR.. Campbell-Can a resolution be Of
ferred as a substitute for the report OF
a committee?
The Chair-Yes.
DR.. Campbell-It doesn't come from
the Company, Idon't see how we can
recognize IL. II the Company means
business why didn't it send that paper
into the Committee, and not wait until
the report came into Council? They
had plenty Of time TO do it. 1t looks as
though they were waiting until Council
met. 1t is not fair way TO treat the
Committee, to say the least. am in
favor Of putting on the manufacturers
and shutting of the private consumers,
