Republican Nominees Tor Council.
With SO much good material offered
to them the Republicans Of Wheeling
will have no excuse for not Offering to
the people first-rate ticket for council.
II they choose tho best of all who were
suggested they will make ticket that
will command. because it will deserve,
the popular support.
The aim Of the Republicans should be
to present meu who, if elected. will
conduct the business of the city on
business principles, will look well to
the public needs and keep close eye
on the appropriations. Such Repub-
lican council will help the Republican
party by helping the city. Any other
kind of Republican council would be a
drag on the party aud a serious detri-
ment to II.
The intelligence urges on its party
friends to make strong effort to nomi'
nate men whose standing will be an
earnest OF the good service they will
render.

Dr. Parkhurst Can stand it.

A member OF the New York Presby-
terry offered a resolution recognizing the
public services OF Rev. DR.. Parkhurst,
hiselfa Presbyterian. A row was bare
ly avoided by withdrawing the resolu-
ton. The chief objection to the resolu-
ton was that it dealt with worldly
matter. Another was that in making
out his case DR.. Parkhurst had gone
into low resorts and seen wicked things.
1t may be recalled that this latter OBJ.
lection was urged promptly and in a
variety OF ingenious ways by persons
who did not desire to be driven out Of
their profitable vicious employments,
and by persons who were not eager to
60 the penitentiary. But "the end
crowns the work" and justifles all the
means which DR.. Parkhurst found 1t
necessary to resort to in dealing with
desperate case OF moral leprosy.
1t is to be regretted that the New
York Presbytery could not bring itself
to recognize the public services OF so
fearless and efficient public servant,
but since DR.. Parkhurst is not partic-
ularly in need oil resolutions OF recogni-
ton and commentator, he will proba.
bly, be able to bear up without the thing
which the New York Presbytery has
seen ct to withhold from him. He hus
done more for the city OF New York
than all tho churches in it put to-
pnthnr.

Prof. Wilson's Lltorary Campaign.

Prof. Wilson's Literary Campaign.
Through the Register word comes
from Washington of the literary cam
paign made for Prof. Wilson in the
Second district. The publication is q
defense Of the activity of the congress
sional campaign committee in this
branch of the great work Of tryingto 70.
tain in Congress the foremost American
representative OF British interests.
1t is revealed that 65,OOO speeches
were "franked and shipped into that
district upon acquisitions of Mr.. Nc.
Graw." 1t was unnecessary to.say that
they were franked. II they could not
have been franked they would not have
been shipped.
OF these speeches 9,275 were copies of
Senator Germans speech on tho tariff,
FURNISHED upon Mr.. McGraw's person
al request for use in the western por-
ton OF the district" Why not for use
in all portions of the district? Did
Democratic voters in the western por-
ton Of the district seem to require n
kind Of medicine which it was thought
unsafe to administer to Democrats in
other parts OF the district?
1t is strange that it was thought adj
visable to send into any part OF Prof.
Wilson's district tho speech OF Senator
German, for the Wilson wing of the
party has no love for Senator German
and holds his oratorical efforts in sub
lime contempt. Democrats of that way
OF thinking have lost no opportunity to
denounce Senator German as very
talented breeder OF trouble in the
Democratic ranks. They have even
gone so far as to say that he was the tool
OF the trusts.
In spite OF all that, in the hour of
their extreme need they were glad
enough to avail themselves of speech
which they had denounced as uu-Demo-
cratic. This Ia aad. 1t ia more sad to
reflect that probably OF all that mass OF
ranked literature only few pages were
ever read. But Uncle Sam paid the
freight just the same.
