ABSOLUTELY PURE

Of Mr.. clarkson, 'it is no summer ex-
cursion" 70 carry AZ election, even un-
der favorable conditions. Only work,
labor, IL you please, can bring victory.
The Lord helps those who help them
selves. Let It be understood that vote
for the Democratic legislative ticket is
a vote for ]. n. Camden for United
States senator; that n vote for John
Howard is q vote to wipe out the last
yestaye Of protection" and. as Mr. VIII
son told tho London chamber OF com:
merce, to tear down the defeuses"
which Republicans erected to keep. the
products Of. foreign cheap labor from
competing with American products In
our home markets. Let it be UNDER
stood that single stay.at.home Repuo.
licau vote counts half vote for these
undesirable things
The opportunity has come in this
state for the people to vindicate their
patriotism. The Democratic tickets
stand for all the disaster that has come,
for tho imbeciIity OF Democratic rule.
l quote from q contemporary who says,
speaking Of the campaign In another
state: 1.-THE day Of reckoning and OF
reparation, the hour when tho humb-
lest citizen exercises the right OF SOW.
ereign, the time when the people,
clothed with supreme authority, render
their verdict in the mightiest OF human
tribunals, IL at hand. Every Repubii.
can ballot is mandate for the restora-
ton Of protection and the resumption
Of pros perity. The election OF Repub.
lican to Congress will notify even the
most reckless bourbons that the task OF
striking down northern industries can
not be carried on, that tho interests
half destroyed will BIO preserved from
further assault, and that the homes oil
the north can no longer DO made the
victims Of southern hostility aud Brit
ish averice." And 1t may be added
that the election OF Republican mem
bers of tho legislature means the defeat
OF Johnson n. Camden or l.. Wills
Wilson 10 the United States senate.

The Democracy Of the Fourth dis
trict have at length succeeded in find
ing a candidate for congress in tho per-
son of Judge Harvey. Judge Warren
Miller will defeat him. Judge Harvey
ia a nice man, but the fatal blow was
struck at his prospects for cleo
ton in the very convention which
nominated him, when tho dele
gates voted down resolution endorslng
Capehart's course IN congress. inc
small majority by which this was done
showed that nearly half the convention
was in sympathy with Capohart. That
marty should thus deliberately slap in
the face tho leader OF so large minort-
ty and not suffer for the act ia not rea-
sonable. Will Mr.. Capehart kiss the
hand that smote him? Will his friends
suffer the indignily TO 20 unrebuked?
guess not. 1t is well enough to in.
.duige in sickly sentiment about being
Democrats, and forgiving and forget
ting, but even my limited observation
has taught me that thcre is about as
much human nature In the makeup OF
the average Democrat as there is in the
average man with other affiliations.

Tho Weston Independent, which, by
the way, is one Of the best Republican
p apcrs in the state, and, along with its
able contemporary. the Weston World,
is doing good work for Republicanism
in Lewis county, addresses some peril
nent Inquiries to Hon. John A. Howard.
They are very pointed, and quote
them az follows: 1--WE hope" says the
independent, that il John A. Howard
comes to Weston campaigning he will
explain why we have never seen John
o. Pendleton's promises fulfilled as a
result OF Democratic supremacy. He
might tell US why We don't get 81 30 per
bushei for wheat; why that Accent
wool is not in evidence; why, on the
contrary, every product on the farm has
decreased in value; why you pay the
same price for most Of your gooda for
consumption: why you pay more for
your sugar; why it was necessary to
protect syndicates producing coal and
iron orc and not protect the farmer VINO
produces wool; why the wool producers
have not the Same right to protec-
ton that the producer Of the
WOOleu luutICs WY hhV
racy loves tho sugar trust more dearly
than the plain people; and no might
tell US whether, il elected, he would vote
in the interest OF tho people OF West
Virginia and OF America or TO make
this the dumping ground for the pro
ducts OF foreign pauper labor. After he
has done he might, Il he has any time
vet left him, toll this people whether
he atauds with Grover or German, and
whether he is for free silver, the5gold
standard, or, il no takes n middle ground.
what it is. Now We don't want to i'm
pose on John A., but he wants TO rep
resent tho people Of this district and
the people want to know how he pro-
poses to do it." These are questions
which are live issues, and the Democra.
tic candidates arc avoiding them and
irving to obscure them in cloud OF
demagogic appeals to prejudice Per-
hnps Mr. Howard win meet them frauk-
ly--and perhaps he will not More
likely he will not. Q. AID.
