the Register, scientifically, always stnnd1
up for West Virginia and Democracy to
tho best OF his ability" Tie Register
isn't alone in its cUnsuro OF the courso
Of tho West Virginia senators in trying
to ride two horses. With few exccp-
tions the Democratic papers throughout
tho state arc expressing great indigna-
ton at what they arc pleased to call tho
treason Of tho senators to the cause Of
tariff reform. Some OF them have
Camden and Faulkner ,blnck-listed, and
are copying the following from tho
Democratic C!arksburg Ncrs:
Democrats should not fail to keep in thcIr
memory the senators Of their own party who Hre
responsible Tor the position In which the DCtnO-
cratic party is situated. A day Of reckoning Is
coming Then lot the following beware:
GOrmnn. Of Maryland.
Gibson. Of Maryland.
Hill. OF New York.
Murphy Of New York.
Smith. OF New Jersey.
Faulkner. OF West Virginia.
Camden. Of West Virginia.
blanchard, OF Louisiana
Cnlircyr OF Louisiana.
Btice, of Ohio.
This is indicative oi what may DO ex-
pcctod in the coming campaign when
our West Virginia senators look for an
endorsement at the hands OF the voters
OF their party. There are hard lines
ahead Tor these two gentle mOu. and it
will moi DO surprising il some rather
warm times arc witnessed. Down in
the Second district the Democrats eau
not see how they are going to be able to
harmonizo IN endorsement OF William
l. Wilson md his tariff bill with IN ell
dorsement OF tho course OF Senators
Camden and Faulkner, who helped to
hide tho identity OF tho bill under q
patchwork OF 400 amendments, and
thereby humiliate its author. II isn't
hard to predict that they will sottlc tho
mattcr by re~nominating Wilson on his
own platform aud ignore tho senators.
Considering that one OF thotn, Mr.. Cam
den, Is 4 candidate for reelection, this
will be embarrassing to him. 1t will DO
corrcspoudingly encouraging to his op.
ponents.

Ex-Governor Wilson continues his
campaign for the senate With encourage
ing signs all about him-tbatis is, encour-
aging signs that no will be able to en-
compass the defeat OF his old-timc enc
my, Nh. Camden. But indications null
tiply that those Democrats who are pat
ting him on the bacl; and urging him on
in the good work are not sincere friends.
They have no more idea OF helping him
into the United States sen ate than they
have Of sending q Republican there. he
is n convenient club with which to
knock out Camden, and they arc using
him only for that purpose Fhe organs
and the politicians are "w~hooping up"
his canvass against Camden all along
the line, but are not committing them
selves to the kanawhan. They have
other men in view. DEVELOPMENTS will
ONO later on. The bosses know what
they are about. Democrats in all OF the
counties are demanding that only I'M
pledged candidates for the legislature
be chosen. That doesn't look like
Camden has it all his own way, does it2

much pleased with the outlook. On the
Republican side there is no telling who
will be the nominee, but thorc, rs every
where else in the state, there SCENE to
be q determination on the part OF the
Republicans to pick out tho strongest
man. Hon. Warren Miller's star, iudg.
ing from the tone OF the Republican
press, is in tho ascendant. lie is looked
upon rs possessing all tho clements OF
strength necessary, including ability
and personal popularity. Ex-Collector
a. B. White is still being. urged to be-
come q candidate, and is still declining.
Mr.. White doesn't seem to have an am.
bition to 20 to Congress, but his friends
Seem 10 be opposed to accepting his
ultinatum. Colonel Romeo Freer is
also getting I boom. There would be
such q shaking OF the bushes as has nc,
been witnessed in the Shoo-string dis

the nomination.
