WILL REMEMBER HIM.

The recollection still fingers III
the hearts of the Republicans of
Preston that no man at the Hunt
lngton convention in 1892 worked
more zealously and enthusiasticall
for the defeat OF James a. Brown,
for Judge Of the Supreme Court,
than this candidate-for-Corgress
a. e.. Dayton, of the county Of
Barbour. The Preston county Re-
publiclus did not fah to serte no.
tice on Dayton that whenever ho
offered himself as q candidate he
could count OF Preston's opposition
TO man. The Prestouians are al
ready getting ready to put their
opposition into execution by pro-
yi3ing themselves with good sized
clubs which they will use vigorously
to crack a Dayton head every time
1T hobs mp in the Republican Con-
gressional Convention. This means
certain defeat for Dayton, for the
Republicans of the Second Con-
gressional District will never nomi-
nate man who is opposed by the
"Banner County"

THE VICE PRESIDENTS FAMILY

The family Of Vice President
Stevenson came to Charles Town OH
Thursday last and took rooms at
Hotel POwhatan, and on Saturday
afternoon Mr.. Stevenson came and
remained until Monday morning.
On Saturday evening the citizens of
the town in large numbers paid
their respects to the distinguished
gentleman. After music by the
Cornet Band the Vice President
was introduced to the people by Mr..
Frank Gordon, son of Gen. Jno. b.
Gordon. Says the Baltimore Sun
special "Mr. Gordon, in well
chosen words, introduced the Vice
President 20 the assembly. Gen.
Stevenson thanked the people for
the respect shown him, and said

referred to the beautiful scenery
and again thanked the crowd for
the ovation, and amid cheers retired
to the reception room, where num-
Der of prominent gentlemen were
introduced to HIM. Congressman
VIM. l.. Wilson, whose home is at
this place, was also presented, and
when the crowd called for him he
responded IN his well. known felIci-
tous manner. Hon. George X.
Vending and Hon. Frank Gordon
were also called and entertained
the assembly with brief and appro-
pirate remarks. The ovation lasted
for nearly two hours. "-Free Press.

There is food for thought IN the
following from the Moundsville
HeraM
The presence in a Republican
gathering Of ola time Democrats
like John -. Floyd, G. p. Dorr,
Thomas Fleming and hosts Of others
show what thlnking men have con-
cluded. Men of that kind cannot
be deceived "-JourRal.
"And we asked you for an Office
and you had none to give us " This
is your "food for thought" dearly
beloved brother Journal You are
welcome to all such political sore
heads and defeated officer seekers.
If the snake eyed Dorr will only
raise half the dust in the Repub-
llcan party that be did IN the Dem
ocratic party you will want to con-
sign him to sheol instead of clasp.
ing him to your bosom. Floyd,
DOrrand Fleming were turned down
by the Democratic party when they
were applicants for Office, which
naturally discouraged their political
ambition, and IN order to add to
their disgrace they joined the Re
publican party. You are welcome
to 'em.
Perhaps the Boss of the Repub-
lican party Of Preston county has a
few more Offices to offer Young
Democrats if they will JOIN the Re
publican party? This has been his
practice for years.
Would it not be well for the
Journ0J and Moundsville Heyuld to
add the name of John II. Holt to
their list of flood for thought" and
thinking" hoppers ? John is do
ing a devil of lot of thinking"
just now as to where he is going to
land IN the Congressional race.
And vivid recollection reminds him
each day that the Republican party
has furnished him with very little
"food for thought" or appetite
since he Topped over into that
party. At the risk of being dc.
nounced as prophet, which we
deny, we will add that John Homer
Holt will have to perform the bear
paw act for several years to come
before he viii find his food" in a
Congressional nomination or cleo
ton. The trouble with John is
that he has mistaken his believing
and bawling as an evidence of
genius and craftsmanship. 1t is
really amusing to hear the Repub.
hcans denouncing John for "his
internal gall and cheek" They
declare that John has been an
ofiice.seeker ever since ne Topped
TO them.

One Of the reasons which the
friends Of John il. Holt advance
why be should be nominated for
Congress is that he will poll a large
Democratic vote, owing to the fact
that until quite recently he belonged
to the Democratic party. They
claim tins is especially true Of
Preston where he formerly res ided.
II it would be any solace to the
friends Of John we would say that
The Democrats are Gust dying" to
vote for John, and TO show their
appreciation Of him they viii vote
for him so enthusiastically and so
solidly that he will never have oc-
casion TO put bis No. 10 bropans

A Family of Giants.

''The best evidence Of the truth of the
theory of heredity ever saw" said T.
E. Lucas to the corridor man at the Lin
dell, sis family named Walker, living
in Mitchell county, N. G. There are at
present seven brothers and five sisters,
the lowest stature of any of them being
6 feet, which is the height of one of the
girls. Her sisters run in regular gradu-
alton as to height-6 feet 1 inch, 6 feet
inches and feet inches. The tallest
brother is feet inches, and the short
est feet inches.
'The mother is short, being but feet
8 inches, while the father, from whom
the children inherit their remarkable
growth, is feet 2 inches. He is of q
family of nine brothers, the tallest of
whom was 8 feet in height and the short
est Z feet, and all of them lived to con-
siderable age, the only one surviving,
however, being the father of the sons
and daughters mentioned. If the pres
ent family were arranged one above the
other, they would reach 70 feet inches
in height. It is said that all of the an
cestors back through several generations
were of like proportions" St. Louis
