Weston, w. Va, May 18th, 1895.
To the Editor of the Register.
Because, at the last Congressional
election, there was stupendOus
change and a reversal OF party suprem-
acy, does not, in no wise, mean that the
Democracy OF West Virginia will not
take It's position in the ranks OF where
it has been for twenty years and hurl
from power the party that succeeded in
the general landslide, not CT its own
strength, but by stay-at-home Demo-
Gratis, many OF whom were soured at
| the action Of Cangress in not carrying
out the principles embodied in the Chi
cago platform on which the Democrats
swept the country.
It was nos Republican strength, but
rather Democratic confidence with
some, and Democratic apathy with
| others to which our last defeat is at
irritable
Now, it is not too early for the people
to agitate the question as to who shall
be the nominees for the various offices
TO be filed at the next election.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of lib
erty." and if we expect to win. and win
we viii, il judiciOus action is taken by
the press, and the people they should
heed the above maxim, and not wait
until cur 8 ate Convention meets to Sc
lect its various candidates from a con-
fused and probably q disunited delega-
ton.
In this connection it would not be
improper to say that for the Office of
Governor We believe it is generally
conceded that Judge Bennett of this
place, is the logical and ideal candi-
date His last race against Governor
McCorkle disclosed mis- rare ability and
great popularity. To him it is accord
cd as being one of the Gblest judges in
the State. il not the ablest Should he
| consent 70 run the Democracy OF the
State viii rally to his support.
For Auditor one Of the most lucra-
! tive offices in the State the Democracy
/ could find no more available or eff
| cient candidate than Col. Jim

The lmprovsnent of Roads.

Every farmer in the state Of
Missouri is interested IN the nat
ter Of roads. and it is not exaggerat-
ing to say that the growth and pros
perity Of the whole state are more
or less dependent upon the progress
made in the creation Of improved
roadways. Our railroad system
is extensive and ram;fied. but until
access all the year
around to railroad stations and
towns Is secured by good
county roads. the product OF the
farms cannot acquire their full
value. We believe the legislature
should carefully review our road
laws with Il view to facilitating
road work generally. The constr,lc-
ton Of county roads must always
i matter Of local taxation.
but in wealthy counties there is Il
much greater ability to carry on
road improvement than in others
less fortunately situated and within
limits. The county
courts. which are directly RESPONSE
bic to the people should he author
ized to determine .he annual ex-
penditures in this particular. A
proper and systematic comfy be-
tween adjoining counties in this
matter should also be provided for.
There are few subjects of greater
general Importance than road
building in state like Missouri.

Mr.. Cleveland would be the

impress the country with the idea
that Il LonIrnss Ho,llu not act there
wae nothing left for the admins
tration but another issue of bends
under the act Of 1875. That this
was a bit deceit Ie shown by the
fact that ne had fully decided upon

message was sent tn Congress and
had so informed Mr. August

and agent for Rothschilds. His
second purpose vas in sense ppiit

by so doing he would place the

not consistently decline to pass 4

sion be called. and it is considered
well-nigh certain that one will be

latter purpose that the Democrats
ON the House bank and currency

members nf that committee and
that it has ''een openly unsierst.Hst
