DEMOCRACY vs.. REPUBLICANIsM.

When Col. Mansur was quoting
Wanamaker's reduced prices in
clothing under the Wilson Bill.
Chairman Dawson made bold to
inquire, "ls it necessary for poor
people to wear broadcloth ?" To
which Mansur answered that he
considered it absolutely necessary
for a poor man 10 wear a broadcloth
coat on his wedding day. The an
swer was not satisfactory to Dawson
and he replied that the gentleman
was begging the question. What ne
wanted him to answer was, (Which.
or it was necessary for poor people
TO wear broadcloth" The speaker
reterted that be did not only con
slider il necessary, but he believed
70 possible for poor people TO buy
broadclOth under the Wilson Bill.
10 was both an interesting and in

once enjoyed immensely. Both gem

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

One of the largest, most enthusi-
astic and harmonious conventions
ever held in Preston county was
held in Kingwood last Saturday.
There was IA fair representation Of
Democrats from each district in the
county, which would indicate that
there Is no apathy or lukewarmness
about the Democracy Of Preston
county. In fact, they are eager for
the fray.
The ticket nominated is an ex-
cepiionally strong one. No better
selections could have been made.
Mr. Thomas StartZmau, of Uuon
District, the nominee for the House
Of Delegates for the East Side, is
not only an excellent business man,
but n representative farmer. II
elected, he will make a representa-
tive that Preston may feel proud Of.
The nominee for the House of
Delegates for the West Side is Mr..
j. NJ. e.. Fairfax, of Valley Dis
trlct. Who is it in Preston county
that don't know the genial and
Ioyial Gay Fairfax ? AS business
man and farmer he is the equal OF
any man in Preston. For County
Superintendent Of Free Schools we
have sterling young Democrat
who stands ut the head of his pro-
fcssion, Mr.. j. IL. S. Barlow. He
is farmer boy, who, as Mr.. Gibson
so aptly put 1t, has been
educated between the plough han
dies" No higher tribute could be
paid any man.
Taken all in all, the convention
did a good days work and present.
ed us with splendid ticket which
it behooves every Democrat to take
of his coat and go to work to elect.
llurrah for Startzman, Fairfax
and Barlow !

KNOCKED OUT by THE SWITCH
BACK"

One Of the new arrivals at the
Kelley Institute here has been hav.
ing quite a lively time. His name
Is Joseph Liggett, and he arrived
from Buckhannon the other day.
He has been drinking very heavy
and has been badly tangled up eve,
since his arrival. Monday night he
slipped out and disappeared. lie
was not missed till late bed time. as
the Kceleyites roam around town
at their pleasure. The officers of
the Institute then hunted for him
everywhere around town, but could
not find HIM. In the meantime he
had started to return home, and
was following the railroad and toIe-
graph line to get to the b. g. 0. at
Tunnelton.
lie got along all right till he
struck the "Switchback" on the II.
K. & f., two miles from town.
Here the railroad gets over the hill
by zigz iging back awards and for.
wards. and here he struck what
seemed in the dark to be the end of
the road. He coaldn't understand
it, and tired aud sleepy and mysti-
h'd, he lay down and slept awhile.
lie had also lost the telegraph line,
as 1T went over the hill By the most
direct route. After awhile he won c
up, and hunting around found
where the road started on up tho
hill, back this way. He followed
1t till he came to the end again, as
1t seemed, but here he struck the
telegraph line once more and fol-
lowed 1T on back this way, till he
arrived III KIngwood, but thought
he had struck Tunnelton. Passing
the new Roller Process FIGURING
Mill, which was running all night,
he went in aud asked Wait Graham
where the best hotel in town was.
Seeing his condition, WAIT took him
TO the Kelley, and he went to bed
and woke up next morning much
surprised to find himself still in the
place he was trying to escape from.
lie wac wild and woolly all day,
and they had hard work to hold
him down. Tuesday night he was
out again somewhere till two o clock,
when be returned himself. The
treatment is getting in its work on
him now and he IS quoting down,
