Universally Regretted.

Not only Virginia, but the Ma
tion mourns the death of Senator
John S. Barbour, of Virginia. AS
Senator he was safe and conser-
vative, clear and, accurate in all
Of his statements, and while de-
voted to his State his mind was
broad enough to grasp, and his
patriotism intense enough to labor
for the interests of the whole
country, The vacant seat may be
filled by one more brilliant, but
it will never be filed with ore
more useful to his State and
country, or one more devoted to
the cause of the people.

Senatorial Convention.

Where and when will our SEN
atorial Convention be held, is a
question which should be decided
ut once. Logan G. II. is the proper
place as it is centrally located
and ample accommodations can
be had for all who may wish to
attend. And there is something
in the air and water of Logan
that will renew the strength of
the party. Our rocks represent
the stability of Democratic prin-
ciples, while our mountains point
to the height and dignity which
the government will attain under
Democratic supremacy.

The close vote in this State in
1855, gives grounds for serious
doubt IS TO the result in 1892.
Cleveland carried West Virginia
lin 1883 by less than one thousand
majority and Cleveland was
stronger than his party and ran
ahead of his ticket. In the last
! four years there has been q large
increase in population, and as the
greater per cent. OF the new vote
has come in on the new lines Of
railroad that have been built and
| to work in the mines that are be-
ing opened, it is reasonable to
suppose than the Republicans
have made larger gains than the
Democrats. The, new vote is
largely miners, coal operators,
railroad men from Pennsylvania
and negroes and all these classes
vote the Republican ticket as a
rule. 1t IS condition and not a
theory that confronts the Demo-
cratic party in West Virginia and
they may as well look at the ques-
ton in its true light. Brag and
buster are not going to win a
single vote. But while the Dem
ocrats are Dragging and buster
ing and depending on the prestige
OF old time majorities, Dawson is
using pernicious activity in going
around preparing his forces for
one grand and united effort. 1t
Twill be found that when thetimc
comes for the decisive charge,ifhe
Republican forces will move with
the precision and regularity Of
clock work. While the Democrats
are more or less torn up by fac
tions, the Republicans can count
ION every man doing his whole du-
ty. If they have internecine
strifes and clanish prejudices,
they keep step to the same music
when they march against the COM
mon enemy. Instead of stabbing
each other in the back and assas-
sinating each other in the dark,
Afactious divisions seem to prompt
each and all to redoubled efforts
to accomplish most for the COM
mon cause of the party.
The election of 1892 will be no
child's play. It will be a battle
between giants. If the older gi-
ant goes into the fight a disorgan-
lied rabble, depending on its past
record and old time strength, the
younger giant bouyant with hope
and made strong by systematic
and perfect disciple will come out
victor.-[Wayne News.
True as gospel, Brother Mans
field, and we should keep it prom
inently before the people until
the battle has been fought
and won. This is no time for
factional fights, or of manutactur-
ing thunder to be used against us
by the Republican party. We
have choice among our friends
but any of our friends are to be
preferred to the enemy. We
must SO organize at once as to be
able TO present an unbroken front
| in November.

Death of Senator Barbour.

Senator Barbour, Of Virginia,
died suddenly and quite unex-
pectedly of heart failure at Wash
lngton on last Saturday morning
There was no premonition of the
tragic end. He was in the Senate
Friday, as usual, and in the morn
ing attended meeting of the
committee on the affairs of the
District of Columbia.
John S. Barbour was born in
Culpepper county, Va, Decem-
Der 30, 1920, pursued course of
study at the University of Vir-
ginia, and graduated from the law
school there In 1912, practiced
law in his native county, and
went to the legislature from that
county in 1S47, where he served
four consecutive terms was cleo
ted president of the Orange and
Alexandria railway il 1852, and
held the office until the road was
absorbed by the Virginia Mid
land in 1883. Mr.. Barbour was a
member of the House in the 47th.
4Sth and 49th Congresses, and
succeed Mr.. Riddlebarger in the
Senate in 1889. His term as SEN
ator would not have expired until
March, 3, 1895.
Mr.. Barbour had resided con-
tinuously in Washington for a
great many years and was as
highly esteemed by the people of
this city as he was honored by
the citizens of Virginia.
Senator Barbour left no imme-
diate family His wife's sister,
Miss Dangerfield, presided over
his household, and a brother re-
sides in Culpepper, Va.

Charles James Faulkner

West Virginia has never had a
public servant more -faithftil-to
her interests than Charles James
Faulkner. While he has made
forhimself a national reputation
by engaging learnedly and with
spirit in national affairs, he has
not omitted to look after the de-
tails which especially related TO
his constituents in. West Virgin
In, and we hope to see him endors-
IL by every county in the State,
and every Democratic member Of
the next Legislature instructed to
vote for him.

We clip the following from fIie
KanawhH Gazette 0f the 10th
Inst:
/ A report received hst night from To-
gan county Of the result 81 the Demo
cratic primaries hell In that county
Saturday is that III fhe' three "Guyaff'
districts fourteen delegates are iisrrtc-
ted for Mace orkle ansf four for Bennett.
Thirteen are instructed for Anderson
aud i've for Wilson. The result ID the
| Sandy districts has not been ascertain-
ed, but will be about the same IA t;sose
reported. The county will therefore be
instructed for MacCorkle.- Wilson will
get one-fourth Of J1gan's vote in the
convention and the other tl,ree-fourths
will go to Anderson.
! PrcsnmIng that this report is
correct and that by actual vote OF
the people the Democrats of Lo-
gan county will stand two-thirds
for MacCorkle and one-third for
Bennett, will any one informs us
on what principle the county con-
vcntion can deprive Bennett Of
his one-third and count the whole
for MacCorkle by instructing the
delegates to the State Convention
for him II Greenbrier Indepen-
dent.
The foregoing report which has
been copied in most of the papers
Of the Third District, does a gross
injustice to Logan county. Lo-
gan county, by her strict -adhe-
sion to the principles Of the Dem
ocratic party, and by an honest
endeavor upon her part of trying
| to reward those who have been of
greatest service to the party in
the past. and who she is confident
will best serve the party in the
future, without any regard to per-
sonal feelings or prejudices, has
kept her organization intact,
while the majorlties in the coun-
ties around her have gone to
pieces in clamer for the man in
stead of the cause.
True those principles She has
castSa large majority of her vote
at the primaries for Gov. Wilson,
who, almost. single-handed, saved
the party imthe State in 1883, and
who still has the ability and will
represent fairly the interests
of the whole district and for reas-
ons which presented themselves
to her with equal force, she cast
a@majority of her votes for w. A.
MacCorkle for Governor. But
both Anderson and Bennett will
be accorded their full strength i'll
the selection of delegates, not for
the sake of harmony, as some put
it, but because tits right and just
and the Democratic party of 10
gan who have never received any
thing from a Democratic MAORI
ty in Congress except the proud
CONSCIOUSNESS of having helped to
make it, cannot afford to be I'M
just.
We hope that the Greenbrier
Independent and the papers
/ which have copied its article will
put Logan county right in this

Slightly Mistaken.

The BANNER claims that Logan
county is for MacCorkle for Gov
ernor. FROM reliable informa-
ton it seems that Judge Bennett
is the stronger man of the two in
Logan Wayne News.
Our delegation to the county
convention stands twenty for
MacCorkle and eight for Bennett,
which shows the reliable informa-
ton received by the News was
not as reliable as it might have
been. Judge Bennett, however,
will be treated fairly and will be
accorded his full quota of the del
egation to the State Convention,
and if nominated will have a
thousand majority in the county.
