A WORTHY ACT.

The Postofiice fight ut Fellows.
vile has been happily settled very
nicely. There were three candl-
dates, Maj. George Purcell, James
W. Robinson and Casio Simpson.
The contest was so closely divided
among them that it was hard
matter to settle, but since the death
of Mr.. Purcell, the other two can
dldates have united in letter
Withdrawing from the race and
asking for the appointment Of Mrs.
Mary Eunice Purcell, widow of
their late opponent. Mr.. VIM. A.
Watson, the present incumb bent of
the office. promptly wrote out his
resignation and sent it in with the
other papers in favor of Mrs. Pur-
cell, and she will no doubt soon
receive the appointment. This is a
happy solution of a rather bitter
fight and reflects credit on the gen
tlemen who have so promptly and
calamity gave way in order to aid
the widow and the orphans. Mrs.
Purcell is well qualified to run the
Office to the satisfaction of the pa
irons, and it will enable her to keep
her children together and support
her family. Her husband was
heavily involved and his debts will
take every cent he had, and then
not near pay all, and the widow
and four small children are left in
destitute circumstances hence the
above settlement of the Postofice
contest is good thing all around.

The little caucus held ia Mex in
ziO's store at townsville last week
by Col. Tommy Hawkor, ex-Con-
stable J I. Rhodes, Commissioner
McKinzie, John Plum, and ono or
two other privates, to nominate a
regular Republican candidate for
School Commissioner in this dis
trict, All eamo to naught. Orders
were telegraphod up from here who
to name, and it was done accord
ingly. The man named is a good
citizen, but most Of our people hal
made mp their minds to continue
Mr.. Milford g. Gibson 10 tho Office
and voted that way, and elected
him By handsome majority.

THEIR MOTIVES.

For the Information OF those who
may not understand the motive
which prompted the Republican
Bosses to call the "mass conven-
tion" TO nominate candidate for
County Superintendent of Free
Schools, the ARGUS begs to state
that 1T was done for the following
reasons
First-To perpetrate Ring Rule
in Preston county.
Second--In order to elect Fort
ney and shelve Smith and Whetsell.
Third-That they might pro-
claim a great victory after their
crushing defeat in 1892 and thereby
strengthen the backbo Of the
weak kneed.
Fourth-That they might "point
with pride" to the glorious victory
achieved by the Convention nomi-
nations and use it as an argu ment
for dong away with the primary
system of selecting candidates and
return to the Boss Convention sys-
tenn in vogue before the "wahv on
Ring Rule and Bossism in Preston
county.
Ii there are any doubling Thorn
asses in the Republican party who
believe the contrary, the ARGUS re-
quests them to cut this out and paste
it In their hats for future reference.
No intelligent or honest Republi-
can will claim that the Democratic
party had anything to do with
bringing Mr.. EIsey out. The FIRST
intimation the ARGUS had of Mr..
Elsey's candidacy was letter from
the gentleman, in which he said /:
"Feur years ago l announced my
self a candidate without consulting
my friends. / have done the same
this time"
The false assertions of the Jour
nal that Mr.. Elsey was the candi-
date of the Democratic party, needs
no refutation. The Journals mo-
tive is too transparent for intelligent
people.

THROTTLING THE PROPHET.

Mr.. Peter r. Smiths army Of
friends throughout the county wore
sorely grieved when they learned
that the Republican Bosses com
PEELED him to withdraw from the
contest for County superintendent
Of Free Schools. His friends claim
ed bis election beyond any question
Of doubt, and pointed to the fact
that two years ago he withdrew in
favor of Mr.. Conley and Old Father
Harmony, and as a further claim
upon the party that no Was prom
ised clear field this time by the
party leaders for his excellent cam
paign work for the party in stump
ing the county for Harrison, Reid,
Davis, Wisner and the rest Of the
humiliation Of the Republican
party. They assert that there is
no law, human or divine, that JUS
tilted the Bosses in throttling Pro-
phet Peter and compelling him to
deliver up his candidacy to the
Political Pirates as a ransom
But 10 is the same old stery Of
"a prophet is not without honor,
save in his own country"

HARMONY

III the Repu blican "mass couvsn-
ton" which was held at Iowlcs-
burg last week, can be taken as a
sample Of Republican harmony in
Preston county, the ARGUS rejoices
in proclaiming the "harmony"
throughout the Banner county that
the faithful may assemble and re-
turns thanks to the Bosses for uni
Tying and solidifying the Grand Old
Party that was rent assunder by the
Democratic cyclone OF last Novetn-
Der. AS the medium by which the
news was gently conveyed to the
heart broken Office. holders of Pres
ton that Gen. Carter and Col.
Dawson had surrendered to the
enemy aud were returning home
foot sore and weary, aud would,
when sufficiently recuperated, ex-
PLAIN how a man felt after being
struck by a Democratic cyclone, the
ARGUS again ayails itself OF the
first opportunity to inform the
Stalwarts and Halfbreeds that the
hostile factions have begun another
war Of determination among them
selves.
ITO Boss, or not to Boss is the
bone Of contention. Dawson, Wot.
ring and White, the leaders OF the
Halfbreeds, believe that Bossism is
an heirloom which mnst not pass
out of their hands. On the other
hand, Sheriff Shaw, Hon. @. M.
Bishop and Lawyer James A.
Brown, who represent the Stalwarts,
firmly believe that Bossism was
killed when Dawson and Wotring
were compelled to vacate the Chair
manship Of the Republican Com
mlttee. And so the merry war goes
on and the people expect tho ARGUS
to keep them posted, which it can
be relied on to do.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1893-05-18
FOOLED.

The Republican Bosses can never
forgive themselves for allowing
Leroy Shaw to be elected Sheriff Of
Preston county. They consolod
themselves for awhile that inasmuch
as Shaw was elected Sheriff no
would tamelY submit to Ring Rule
in the future aud make no war on
them. But they reckoned without
their host. Leroy Shaw is made Of
sterner stuff, and the ARGUS pre-
diets that he will make one Of the
best sheriffs Preston county has
ever had. The ARGUS has had
occasion to differ with Mr.. Shaw,
but it has never doubted his honesty
and sincerity. The Ring has big
JOB on hand to down Sheriff Shaw.

the rest Of the Republicans of the

heroic effort was made at a resur-
rectlon Of the Republican ''corpse, 4"
but it gave. no signs of returning to

lican League Clubs in PaIkersburg
is reported to have created az much
excitement and wonderment among
the people as if they had just caught
glimpse of the Gear of Russia or
the wild man of Borneo. No won

hibitioR at the Worlds Fair.

II is significant that upon the
