SNAP SHOTS.

The numerous showers of rain in
connection with the warm sunshine is
producing a growth from mother
earth ~unexcelled. In conversation
with some gentlemen recently, one re-
marked that his pumpkin vines were
growing S o rapidly that thepumpkins
were worn out by being dragged over
the ground; while the other said his
corn grew so fast that the beans which
had been planted with the corn were
pulled up out ofroot. These are 70
snake stories, but represented to be
actual facts, which we will leave to
the reader to decide.
There was a fine frost on Tuesday
morning but no damage was done. 1t
was intended perhaps to assist in
showing the Democrats under. Num-
bers of them remarked, when the rain
began to fall, This is Democrat day."
1t may have been, but the shower
turned out Republicans, n~otwithstand-
ing the speech that jennie Willie, the
champion (heavy) light weight of the
Democratic party made at the poll
room in the Fourth Ward. II he had
put IN an appearance early in the day
to instruct the inspectors what was
not their duty, Wilson and G~rozinger's
majority would have increased three
fold. There surely was an election
there and most of the peoples ideas
Iun in the same direction, yet the
question was frequently asked if there
had been an election. 1t had a cyclon-
ic effect. The opposite party could
not realize that their loss was SO great
until the smoke of the battle had
cleared away. Then Cutler was found
alongside of his opponent. Kaufman
had a majority that was astonishing.
Staubly, although not a druggist, but
a tower of strength, is right in line
with a majority that speaks for itself.
Mcdowell is a bad man to tackle; he
understands how to change Democrats
into Republicans as well as rock into
lime. Grozinger, the man of nerve,
who is yer ready to resent an insult.
and to do his whole duty to his con-
Stituents, will not tire in Graduating
the city of its worthlessness. Being
accustomed to working IN iron he can
tell dross from pure metal ON sight
and will not be backward in giving
his opinions. With such men to as
sist our Mayor in the discharge of his
duty, success will surely crown their
efforts.
A very distressing and fatal acct
dent occurred in front of the B. & O.
depot here on Tuesday evening, to
Mr.. Edward Myers, a brakeman. In
endeavoring to get on his train while
in motion, he either male a misstep
or was thrown from the car to the
ground, the caboose passing over one
Of his legs, crushing it so badly that
amputation was necessary, but death
ended his sufferings on the following
day at 5 O'Clock p. IN. Deceased was
born near Hancock, Nd, where his
parents nov reside. He was a very
quiet and steady young man, and was
much respected by all who knew him.
He was 20 years of age, and was a

Republican Leagae Convention

Itupuulluua uuuRuU u~Uufuutluu .
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-
tion 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 CLEVELAND and his
Congress of incompetents a prosperous
and happy country, and in one years
time they put out the fires in furnaces,
stopped the wheels of the mills, closed
the doors Of the factory, and scattered
widespread distress and financial disas-
ter over the land.
The people who voted for a change
see their mistake, and in the cy
turn again to the Grand Old Party for
relief. The hypocrisy Of the Democratic
party now 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
resentatiyes 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 w~arm-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, un- American measure. Let
us rally and send forth the cry, No more
starvation for labor, nc more European
pauper wages, no more ruin for CAPT
tall" L. P. RUcKER, President.

"LOt Lightly Laughs at DEM

The last expiring spark of a Demo
Gratis vanity burst into a flame by the
breath of a promise "Thou, my fat
friend, shalt be policeman" and vigi-
lautly the crew worked though the
waning hours of that last Sabbath
night, but all to no avail. Theil
laundering bark went high and dry,
a wreck among the breakers.
The eo~nquering old Republican
war ship, with its gallant captain,
John B. Wilson, borne aloft on the
shoulders of some of his devotees, won
the victory without the loss of a sin
gle man; and shouts of victory reach
the hills and mount to the sky and are
echoed in the valley.
Even the buried street railroad has
caught a muffled sound of the good
news. An electric current has carried
it to the Boom Ground and Elkins
Park where the wild flowers nod and
dance in the May sunshine and whis-
per II told you So"
The day of triumph closed with a
calm night and the moon rose in un-
clouded majesty, as her soft voice watt
ed earthward, and we caught "Ifthere
is anything that can be done to start
the wheels Of progress and relieve the
pressure Of hard times in Martinsburg
John Wilson andhis Republican u
sellers will do it !"
Looking back over her shoulder
she glanced across the B. & o. R. K.
c;o>sing and espied a prominent curly
haired, lorid-faced Deny, spurred
by a thirst for Office, which he vas
promised, if hecarried the Fifth Ward.
He should have a fine position. With
thumbs in waistcoast and arms elevat-
ed like some huge bird ready to fly he
confidently and assuringly boosted
.'I'll carry heri" But he didn't!
oh, he didn't And behold the change.
Mad frenzy fires him now" Anger,
disappointment and despair are writ
ten on his countenance; he wants to
fight, and ought to be held and famed
for if he don't hurt some Republican,
he surely will hurt himself.
On the hill she espied Grape hang
ing to the door of our lofty Democrat
ic shoemaker, and a little sigh of pity
escaped her. AS a friend entered the
home she whispered-"Ring the bell
softly, there's Grape OH the door, but
friend looked up with a comic ex-
preston and replied, ssHe is not dead;
only withered by the heat of the late

HIGHLY HoNORED.
Religious Services in Honor Of
ths High school Graduates.


ths High school Graduates.
1t is confidently asserted by the
oldest inhabitantt that no such audience
ever gathered in a Martinsburg church
as that which honored the gradua-
ting class Of the HighSchool onSunday
evening, at the First NJ. F. Church.
Every pew in the auditorium and
galleries was filled. extra seats were
brought in, and many stood during
the entire service.
With Prof. B~rockenshire at the or
gan, anda choir CLEANED from among the
best vocalists ofthe various ~citychurch-
es, the musical feature was all that
could be desired.
The ofertorv was by Rev. c. S.
Trump, Of st. Johns Lutheran
Church; Rev. A. NJ. Cackley, of Trim
ity NJ. f. Church, South, read the
Scripture lesson; DR.. f. NJ. Woods, of
the Presbyterian Church, offered
prayer; the baccalaureate sermon was
by the paster, Rev. D. H. Shields,
and Rev. Henry Thomas, of Trinity
Episcopal Church, pronounced the
benediction.
1t was a union service in its broad
est sense. There nothing to MAI the
beauty of the occasion and nothing
but words of praise have since been
heard.
The graduates, in number, the
board Of education and superintendent
of the city schools occupied front seats
in the center. The sermon, occupying
an hour in delivery, was listened to
with rapt attention, and was full ofin-
struction to both old and young.
Well may Martinsburg congratulate
herself upon the affection with which
her public schools are regarded by all
the people. II anything were needed
to demonstrate that fact, the out
pouring of the people Sunday evening
would be proof positive, and to retain
their present proud position it only
remains for those in charge-pupils,
teachers, and board of education-to
continue to advance. That the schools
may be much improved is conceded
by all and no effort should be spared
to place them in the very front rank.
1t can be done, and it remains for the
people TO see that it is done.
