Hon. E. w. Brown.

The Gazette seems very much
worried lest the Democrats may
nominate Hon. E. w. Brown, OF
Ravenswood, for State Senator, be-
cause he happened to get the en-
dorsement of the Populists. To re-
lieve the worry of the Gazette. over
this matter, we have the pleasure OF
stating that the Democrats when
they meet in Senatorial convention
next Tuesday, will nominate Mr..
Brown, as their candidate for State
Senator, and that he will receive
the vote of Mason county in that
convention.

Hon. d. 81. Leonard, of Parkers-
burg, was in the city during our
late fair, shaking hands with the
people and looking after his Con
gressional fences; as was also Capt.
Bill Thomas, of Winfield. Both
seem to think they will be nominal
ed, at Ravenswood, August 18th,
but we beg to remind them that
this is Capehart year, and that Mr..
Capehart will receive the nomina-
ton at the hands of the Democratic
Congressional Convention, even if q
few politicaItricksters have instruct.
ed CabeIl county against him. The
delegates for Cabell are already
vehemently declaring that they will
not obey the instructions forced
upon them by little ring in Hunt
ington. If Mr.. Leonard or any
other man can hold the delegation
from Cabell county solid against
Mr.. Capehart, we are very greatly
mistaken.

From all over the country comes
the news that factories are starting
up, and heavy orders are piling in.
A new era of prosperity seems to
be setting in. Democrats should
rejoice that at last a Democratic
Congress has overthrow the Nc
Kinley bill and lifted from the
shoulders of the people the odious
burdens of the Mckinley bill. The
fraudulent claims of the Republican
party will no longer deceive the
people. The next great fight will
be for more and cheaper money.
The constant appreciation of gold
since the demonstration of silver
in 1873, has robbed the farmer Of
half his farm. Free silver will
come.

State Gazette.
We are surprised at the above.
We look for misstatements from the
Gazette, but were not prepared to
believe that its editor would utter
such a brazen falsehood as is con-
tanned in the above extract. We
did not vote 'no" "wben Mr.. Pull
ms name was voted on" To tell
the truth is a virtue-to lie is de-
basing. If the Gazette intends this
early in the campaign to assert such
malicious falsehoods, what won't
it do, as the campaign progresses
We are strongly of the opinion
that the Mason county Democracy
selected a winning ticket for the
House of Delegates, yesterday,
when they put up two such men as
Warren Whaley and Major George
W. Tippett. We shall expect great
things from Mason in November,
and shall watch the fight with pc
culiar interest, as Mr.. Whaley is
the Gazette's Point Pleasant cor
respondent, and Major Tippett a
fearless Democratic editor whose
Democracy has always been away

SENATOR McLAURINS COURSE.
Will Favor PecISham fl He is u Dem O
crat and a Lawyer of Ability.


Mr.. A. J. McLaurin was elected United
States Senator by both houses of the Mis-
sissippi legislature. in joint session, yester-
day, to succeed Gen. Walthan. Senator Nc
Laurin viii leave Jackson for Washington
Monday. Among the kilograms of congrat-
ulation received by him was one from Sen
ator d. Il. Hill.
The jackson correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal asked Mr.. McLaurin some ques-
tons regarding his future course in the
Senate
What will be your position on the Ha-
waiian question: asked the correspon-
dent.
Il believe Mr.. Cleveland is right In his
criticism Of the action Of Stevens in the
overthrow OF the government of the queen"
said Mr.. McLaurin, but inasmuch as the
provisional government Is established and
we deal with countries as countries and not
as individuals, am I'm favor of non-inter-
ference and the recognition of the govern
ment as it now stands"
What are your ideas of the tariff sched-
ules of the Wilson bill?"
Il have not examined the Wilson bill
and cannot say, but l am in favor OF a
tariff strictly for revenue. / am opposed to
a bounty on sugar but in favor of a tariff
on sugar. because 1t will produce a large
revenue and not because of its protection"
Are You favorable to the confirmation Of
Mr.. Peckham as judge of the Supreme
Court?''
II know very little of Mr.. Peckham and
cannot say what my action will be- If he
is a democrat and a lawyer whose ability
is equal to the place, 1 will vote for his
confirmation. would not vote for the con-
firmation OF any man who Is not loyal to
the organized democracy. My desire is to
heal any breaks in the democratic party
and not to widen them, especially in the
party in New York.

Mr.. Peckham Is Charged With Hold
ing Such Views.
Advocates of Mr.. Peckham's confirma-
ton, says the New York Herald, were
much surprised when Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts stated plainly that he was
not prepared to say he could vote at this
time for the confirmation OF Mr.. Peckham.
What caused Mr.. Hoar, who is not easily
moved by such arguments as Mr. Hill EN-
ploys in his contest for superiority, to take
this stand is somewhat conjecturaL
Just as he was about to enter the COM
mittee room Mr., Hoar received his mall In
which there was letter from a leading
lawyer in New York who called Mr.. Hoar's
attention to the fact that Mr. Peckham
was one of the most ardent adherents of
the doctrine of state rights to be found in
the New York bar, and asked the Senator
II, as q republican, with the Supreme Court
so narrowly divided upon that great ques-
ton as it is now, he could afford to vote for
an exponent of a doctrine so utterly re-
pugnant to republican principles. Mr.
Hoar's attitude led Mr.. Peckhams friends
to postpone action on the nomination until
next Monday.
1t was charged In letters that appeared this
morning for the first time that MIR. Peck
hahn was a member of the American Pro-
tective Association, a quasi political and re-
ligious association that has for its cardinal
principle opposition to all Catholics who
are candidates for political preferment
Documents were produced before the COM
mlttee to show that MIR. Peckham was
member of this organization, but his friends
declared that he was not.
1t seemed TO be admitted that he was
member of the American Patriotic League
but the anti-Peckham men on the commit
tee Insisted that this was the same organ
ization, only known in New York by a diff
ferent name, Letters bearing upon this
matter are having some weight with the
committee.

Gratis and Mr.. Platt Of the republicans and

TREASURY HYGIENE,
A Noted Improvement Since the New
Rule Went Into Effect.

Since Secretary Carlisle issued his recent
circular in regard to hardness and absen-
teeism there has been q marked improve
ment In the general health Of the clerks
and employees Of the Treasury Department.
and the official physician who was to make
personal investigation of all cases Of sick
ness has had very little call for his serv-
ices. There had been so many cases of
sickness reported before the new system
went into effect that 1t was thought that
it would be necessary to have the assist
ance of several of the surgeons of the ma
rine hospital service in investigating the
cases. but so far there has not been work
Of this character sufficient to keep one ply
stefan busy. The most important effect Of
the change is to make the employees more
conscientious in their attendance.
They no longer stay away simply because
they think they don't feel altogether right.
as consequence of having stayed up too
late the night before, as they would rather
suffer a little inconvenience during the day
than have the Secretary's medical repre-
sentative determine the real cause Of their
indisposition. These examinations are
made only in cases where the department
officials are in doubt as to the genuineness
Of the reported inability to work, and are
never resorted to in real cases Of sickness,
where there is ND room to doubt the state
ments made by the invalids and their regu-
lar physicians.
An Improvement Noted.
According to Maj. Krets, chief of the ap-
pointment division, who Is specially charg-
ed with the execution of the new rules. the
system has worked well and with no fric-
ton whatever and has undoubtedly caused
commendable improvement in the habits
of many of the clerks, who had previously
been notoriously lax in their observance of
the rules governing the hours of labor and
who were mainly responsible for the action
of the Secretary in directing that all sus-
picious cases Of sickness be investigated by
an officer Of the marine hospital service as
soon as reported to the department. 1t was
at first supposed that II would be necessary
to have the officer detailed for this duty in
constant attendance at the Treasury De-
partment in order to avoid possible delay
In the investigation of the cases that might
result from having to summon him from
the Office of the marine hospital bureau on
Capitol Hill.
This superstition was based on the belief
held at that time that there would be many
cases for investigation every day. A short
trial. however. showed a great reduction In
the sick list, and II was found that there
was so little call for the services of the on
cial physician that IL was not necessary to
take him away from his regular duties In
his office on the HILL" No officer has
been specially detailed for this service, as
IL was found that there was not enough Of
the plan was adopted of telephoning to the
hospital bureau whenever a physician was
wanted and leaving the selection of the off,

ever happened to be in charge in case Of
