Mayor Ray as Good as Nominated.

When that sterling man and pop
ular Jefferson County Republican ap-
peared on our streets Monday morn
ing, he was confronted by large
sized boom for the State Senate.
When his admirers discovered that
that could not be because of the fact
that the holdover Senator resides in
Jefferson, they at once determined that
he must and shall be the nominee for
Delegate t-large from this Delegate
District.
1t therefore affords us unbounded
pleasure to announce the name Of
Hon John r. Ray as the unanimous
choice of the Republicans of Martins
burg, for the Office of Delegate-at-large
from the Delegate District composed
of the counties of Morgan, Berkeley,
aud Jefferson.
This popular outburst is a Citing
tribute to one of the grandest men in
the EasternPanhandle His nomination
will mean that the infamous gerry
mander will not avail the Loco Focos in
the least, for just so sure as the sun
sets on the 9th day of November, just
that sure will Mr. Ray be elected.
Having now presented the names
of two men, one for Congress and one
for Delegate -large-Stephen B. Ell
kins and John R. Ray-both of whom
are without a doubt the choice of the
people, we call upon Republicans gen
orally to make themselves heard
through the columns of the Herald,
and please do not be backward.

BY vote Of sl3 to IA, the rule TO
to count quorum was adopted by
the House Of Representatives Tuesday
Mr.. Reed said:
Il do not desire to address the House
again upon the general subject. This
scene here to-day is more effective
address than any could make. The
House is about to adopt the principle
for which we contended in the Fifty
first Congress, and is about to adopt
it under circumstances which show
couclusively to the country its value
No words that can utter can add TO
the Importance of the occasion. |

upon the wise decision that it is about
to make. /" applause on the Republi-
can side.)
The Morgan Messenger is eternally
and everlastingly right when it says;
"This fall will witness to this cohn-
ty the beauty of Democratic rule
which stole from Morgan County her
Delegate in the State Legislature, an |
which gives Berkeley county the man
who shall represent us in our State
halls of legislation. What right has
Berkeley or Jefferson to represent us?
Is there anything right or honest
about this9 We appeal to every vo-
ter in this State to come to our rescue
this fall and elect men to the legisla-
ture who will restore to Morgan her
stolen Delegate.

THE DUTY Of THE HOUR.

In another column is published
call for ward meetings, to be held in
each of the wards of this city, for the
nomination of a councilman to repre-
sent each ward in the city council, and
the selection of delegates whose duty it
shall be to nominate a candidate for
mayor
1t is needless for us to descant upon
the importance of the work to be ac-
coinplished The story ofthe wrongs
perpetrated by the party now in power
in the city is well known by all. The
unwarranted theft Of last year has not
been condoned and must be furnished.
If Republicans are wise this can be
accomplished aud the man who engi-
neered the infamous scheme relegated
to the rear.
1t is evident that the tide is set to-
ward the Republican party. but never
was it more important that there
should be skilled men at the helm
When the sky is clearest and the sun
brightest is the time everything should
be made snug for the tempest which
in sure to come. Wise men, true men,
those who are actuated by love for the
Grand Old Party, and not for the ag-
grandisement of self, should be placed
on guard. 1t is never good policy to
delegate power to an individual who
has an AK to grind. Such an one is
sure to be betray his trust. No one
should be chosen because he is the
friend of any particular candidate.
The well-beipg of the party should al
ways be sought-a The aspiration Of
candidates should not be considered.
They are not even of secondary inn
portance.
Let these meeting be attended by all
who desire to see change. Let them
be open and aboveboard. I.ikeCesar's
wife, they must be above suspicion.
The least faint of packing will con-
taninate the entire body and be
source of grief.
Let everything that is said and done
be for the glory and honor of the par
ty we love. Let faction be ignored,
and should it lift its ugly head, crush
it.
There is no man in the party who
is so great or good or popular that his
claims should be regarded as para
mount
With pure primaries we can enter
the fight shoulder to shoulder and
achieve glorious victory. Otherwise
the defensive must be assumed and
defeat, not victory, will perch upon
our banner.

Claims ii is not True.

There is an article going the rounds
of the Democratic newspapers in this
State to the effect that Senator H.
G. Davis. of this place, is going to
spend considerable sum OF money to
defeat VIM l.. Wilson for Congress
this fall. The statement no doubt
does the Senator great injustice, and
we are only sorry it is not true. 1t
is no doubt being published for the
purpose of killing his influence i'll the
party because of his protection ideas.
If the Democrats will read out of their
party all those who want protection
on West Virginia products, they won t
have enough left to hold a caucus -

The article referred to is as follows:
A BATTLE OF DOLLARS.
Says Charlestown wv Va special
to the Richmond Dispatch: "Ex-Sen-
ator Henry G. Davis, President of the
West Virginia Central road remarked
a few days ago that he had not taken
much interest in elections since he left
the United States Senate, but that he
proposed to spend considerable money
in the Second Congressional District
to defeat Mr.. William l.. Wilson for
Congress. Mr. Camden, who was
present, said that for every dollar Mr.
Davis put into the Second District to
defeat Mr. Wilson he (Mr. Camden)
world nut two dollars into the Dis
trict to secure his election. 1t is evil
dent that hard fought battle will be
fought in the Second District this fall. T"
