AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

Philadelphia Press.
The municipal election in Martins.
burg, w. Va, on Monday gave one
more evidence of the coming defeat OF
the Democratic party. The Republi-
cans elected their ticket by more than
three times the majority the Demo
Gratis had in last years election. This
is a highly encouraging sign from
West Virginia. That State has been
injured more by the Democratic at
tack on the tariff than any other
Southern State. For this reason the
Republicans have been hopeful OF
carrying it this year. of electing most
of the Congressman and controlling
the Legislature which is to choose a
United States Senator.

HOW 1T WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

Ever since eight o'clock Monday
evening Democrats have been wonder
ing how it was done. We have a
mind to disclose a secret--tell how
and by what means Bourbon misrule
was overthrown in the metropolis OF
the Eastern Panhandle.
To go back twenty-five years would
be too large a task just now, so sup
pose we recount some of the events Of
the past year. Twelve months ago,
John Grozinger was elected to the
Council from the Fourth Ward. He
had a clear majority of three votes
conceded by some Of those who voted
against him-butt the Council voted no
election had been held in that ward;
yet we have not been able to discover
a ~scintilla of fraud or a single irregu-
larity in connection with the election.
The street railway was buried. That
was piling Pelion on ossa. 1t was
an advertisement to every stranger
who came within our gates that the
town was retrograding. Then it was
that John B. Wilson was nominated
for Mayor by the people regardless OF
party. Later he was nominated by
the Republican convention. Good men
and true associated with him,
and a perfect organization. aided by
progressive Democrats, did the work.

Republican LEAGUE Convention

The Sixth Annual State Convention
of the State Republican League of Clubs,
for the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year and the selection of delegates to
the National Convention, which meets in
Denver, Colorado, June 26, will meet at
Fairmont, June 10, and it is important
that there should be as full a representa-.
ton of the clubs of the State as possible.
Never in the history of the country has
the incompetency of the Democratic par
ty, which rode into power under the hal
lucinations of 1892, been so marked and
impressive. The Republican party hand
ed over to Grover CleYeland and his
Congress of incompetents a prosperous
and happy country, and in one years
time they put gu the fires in furnaces,
stopped the wheels of the mills, closed
the doors of the factory, and scattered
widespread distress and financial disas-
ter oyer the land.
The people who voted for a change
see their mistake, and in the emergency
turnaagain to the Grand Old Party for
relief. The hypocrisy Of the Democratic
party nov stands clearly revealed to the
country, and in the coming struggle for
the rehabilitation of the American work
ingman, the preservation of our indus
tries, and the integrity of the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dollar, the
return of prosperity and plenty, the Re
publican party is called on to rise to the
occasion. 1t has never failed in any cri-
sis in the country's history, and on this
occasion its mission is of equal grandeur
and patriotism with its past glorious
achievements.
The convention at Fairmont means
more than a coming together of the rep
resentatives of the Republican clubs in
love feast. The Democratic party is
again put on the defensive. The Repub
lican party is armed and aggressive and
intends to force the fighting. The larger
the attendance on this meeting the great
er will be the moral effect. 1t therefore
behooyes the Republicans in every dis
trict in the State to organize and send
to the convention delegates who can give
reasonable assurance of being present.
Each club is entitled to a representation
of five delegates.
The selection of Fairmont as the place
of meeting was a happy one. The people
are warm hearted and hospitable, and
there will be ample accommodations for
all who may attend. Those Two cham
pions of Protection, Governor Mckinley
and Hon. Thomas b. Reed, have been
invited to be present, and there is every
reason to believe that they will be in at
tendance and explode the follies and fall
lacies of the Wilson bill at the very door
step Of the father Of that destructive, de-
moralizing, I'M American measure. Let
US rally and send forth the cry, No more
starvation for labor, no more European
pauper wages, no more ruin for CAPT

Senator Faulkner Shows His Hand.

oCHltOk IdulhiICf oLOWo thtS hh0hi0s
The following interesting episode
is clipped from the Washington Post
OF Wednesday:
There was much wrath and indig-
nation on the Democratic side of the
House yesterday. The trouble isn't
over yet.
Yesterday morning everyDemocrat-
ic member of Congress found in his
mail a number of slips containing
some tariff information. In the first
place, there was a comparison OF the
average rates of duties of the McKin-
ley, Wilson, and Senate bills, as re-
Gently published in the The Post and
as incorporated by Senator German in
his speech. Then there was a
chronological history of important
tariff bills and finally there was a lit
tie statement to the effect that the
new amendments proposed to the
Senate bill were nearly all the restora-
tons of the duties of the Wilson bill.
Each Congressman was asked to send
out these slips to the Democratic pa
pers in his district in order that the
people might learn the true condition
of affairs and the Democratic party be
saved as much criticism as possible.
Instead Of promoting harmony, how
ever, these slips created a merry war.
The friends of Chairman Wilson saw
in the publication an effort to repudi-
ate the Wilson bill. and they entered
a vigorous protest On the ground that
there vas neither justice nor wisdom
in circulating a campaign document re-
lating to what the tariff bill would ac-
tually be. Then again, the figures were
said to be ridiculous. For instance,
the average rate of duty on sugar in
the Mckinley bill, with its bounty
and its duty of half a cent a pound on
refined sugar, was given at 1855 per
cent. The House, as will be remem-
bered, struck out the bounty and put
all sugars on the free list. Notwith.
standing this the average rate of duty
In the Wilson bill on sugar is placed
at 2s.43 FER cent, list double the fig.
ures of the Mckinley bill.
An explanation of this was imme-
diately sought. 1t vas found that the
House had left in the sugar schedule
two little items, glucose and confec-
tionery, on which the average rate
of duty was really 2S.43 per cent but
as a matter of fact, only about $50, 900
worth of these articles were imported.
The sugar duty in the Senate bill, ac-
cording to the figures, was placed at
$685. per cent but it was not stated
that these figures covered imports to
the value of about $Iao, 900, 900.
NN4
Other percentages in the table are
said to have just as little to stand on
as these relating to sugar.
Chairman Wilson would not discuss
the matter at all last night except to
say that the circular seemed to be a
defense of the Senate bill. At the
headquarters of the Democratic cam
paign committee Senator Faulkner
the chairman. said that the slips had
been set out and would not be recalled.
The figures, he added. had been care
fully considered before they were sent
out and the committee saw no reason
to change its course.
