JEFFERSON PRIMARY.-The Demo-
cratic primary election for Jefferson
county was held last Saturday and
resulted in the following nomina-
tons: Hon. A. S. cambridge, for
House of Delegates for Jefferson
county, over Col. W. M. Clements,
by about ITO majority Major A.W.
Mcdonald, for House of Delegates
from seventh delegate district, over
Mr.. Cleon Moore, by a majority of
200; B. W. Catlett, of Morgan coun-
ty, for State Senate from thirteenth
senatorial district, over A. r. Unger,
from same county, by majority of
about 275. Rev. A. A. P. Neil was
renominated for county superiu.end-
ent of free schools over Mr.. E. M.
Chapman. The nominees for House
of Delegates and Senate are all
pledged to the people to vote against
Senator Camden in caucus. The
vote was the largest ever polled in
the county at a primary, and the
issue was made squarely against
Senator Camden, with result over
whelming in favor of the anti-Cam-
den men. The vote cast at Charles
Town PRECINCT was GIG, the largest
ever polled there.

THE HOUSE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
YER DEFEA TED.

YER DEFEA TED.
The long struggle between the
Senate, the House of Representatives
and the President of the United
States over tariff bill ended on
Monday last, ny Gne House adoptlng
the Senate bill. These legislative
bodies have been in session for about
year, and have never yet, together
with the executive, accomplished
anything. Their record is one of
blunders, mistakes, not to harshly
say ignorance, but surely incompe-
tency to manage prosperously the
affairs of our great Republic. The
wreck of business in all industries,
the depreciation of values, and the
intense suffering caused thereby are
woes from which the Democratic
party cannot possibly recover. Every
class and condition of people has felt
the wonderful stringency, and the
terrible burden occasioned by this
incompetency to which we have re-
ferred, and are anxiously looking for
ward to the time when they can re-
lieve themselves of so destructive an
incubus. The House has surrender
ed the Wilson Bill, and the Presi-
dent, in the face of his letter sup
porting that bill, has been defeated.
The only remaining question is as to
whether he will be true to himself
and his letter by vetoing the bill, or
If he will manfully sign what the
Democrats have adopted, Or unman-
fully let it lie on his table for ten
days and thereby become a law.
Which?
