West virginia in the Republican coa-

Nontion'
on the present basis Of representa-
ton West Virginia will have twelve
votes in the Republican national con-
ventlon. This is not large represen-
tntion. To have any weight the dele
gates win have to stand together, This
thoy can do with good conscience. II. as
we assume to be true, there is very
marked preference among West Vlr-
ginia Republicans with regard to the
candidates before the party, Governor
Mckinley Is to-day the choice OF West
Virginia Republicans. A solid delega-
ton, for him from this state, unin-
strucsed hut supporting him loyalty,
would represent an effective force not
to be measured by counting the twelve
delegates The moral effect OF this sup
port would be materially weakened II
there were any reason to suspect. West
Virginia OF being in reality up to some
other game,
Some earnest West Virginia Repub-
llcans have thought 1t would be we'll to
urge Senator Elkins for n place on the
ticket. The IntellIgencer has given
some reasons why 1t would be unwise
to attempt movement OF this kind.
One OF the reasons is that Senator Ell
kins does not desire It, and this we take
to he n tribute to his good Judgment,
Judge Con is again brought forward
as n good man for the vice presidency.
SO he is. The convention will not find
a better. But Judge Con is not can
dldate for n place on the national tick
ct and the Intelllgencer knows that any
mention OF him in this connection is
distnstoful to him.
The second place on the national tick
ct is of great Importance. but every
body knows that It is not seriously con-
sldered by the convention until the
first place has been filled. a state that
goes to the convention nursing vice
presidential boom cannot hope to have
much weight in determining the choice
ola man to head the ticket. Some vice
presidential booms are on exhibition
now. but nobody not closely connected
with them is paying them any atten-
ton.
II West Virginia is TO be foot-hIgh in
the Republican national convention OF
1895 her active Republicans will have
no time or votes to waste in chasing
rainbows. Let 1t be understood that
what West Virginia says she means,
and that she has no cards up her sleeve.
This is the way for small delegation
to amount to something in the great
Republican council.

WILSON'S TYRANNY.


liiN OEuer 10 HOAtOHlrO hmplOyeb ArOl=
trury and mtunSIatsnt,
Washington Times Qnd.): POstmas-
ter General Wilson'S order forbldding
postal employees from lobbying in favor
of n bill to better their condition under
penalty OF dismissal Is arbitrary, un-
just and entirely unnecessary,
II Postmaster General Wilson IN not
under pay as corporation counsel, or
does not employ himself outside the
duties Of his office for remuneration, he
IL the only one Of the cabinet who does
not do so, The same may be said OF
nine-tenths Of Congress- and of tho
principal administration officials, most
OF whom take advantage of every such
opportunity. Therefore, any attempt
to prohibit government employees from
doing In Il legitimate way what their
supcrlOrs make practice Of Is an un-
allied for specimen Of official tyranny.
The only requirement the postmaster
general can consistently demand of tho
employees OF his department is that they
shall discharge their duties faithfully
and well. This task does not occupy all
their time, and II In their opinion they
nre not sufficiently remuncratcd, or II
their hours or conditions of service are
burdensome. they have perfect right
TO ask Congress for relief, provided, of
course, such request does not interfere
with the performance OF their several
tasks.
Mr.. Wilson also arrogntcs to himself
the duty OF giving such information MS
Congress may require concerning legIs-
latlun on this question, and according
to his order his employees have no right
to be heard In their own behalf, Most
people viii think this part OF his order
is at least IN assumption of entirely
too much authority.
II the postmaster general desires to
stop the abuse OF lobbying let him be-
gin on his own superior, the President,
or give little Wholesome advice to
every department head and to such
congresRmcn MS are either agents for
corporations or the tools of cOterio
OF paid lobbyists. His postal employees
are as much Interested In improving
their circumstances us WINS the Presi-
dgGt last year when. through friends,
he lobbied the Fifty-third Congress,
or rs the many trusts and corpora
tlOng who pcrsistently control leEisln-
ton in their own interests, or us tho
heads Of departments who are con-
tlnually asking fnyoB Of Congress.
II IL the glorious privilege Of every
American 10 hustle FOR himself, and
Postmaster General wilson il wrong
when he attempts to deprive his en-
ployes OF that right.

Il. L. II. In Charleston Evening Mail:
NDr governor there are many candl-
dates In embryo, and but one In fact.
Hon. George W. Atkinson seems by
general consent to be looked upon as
the standard bearer for the next year,
and indeed the Democracy seem to re-
gard him as their inevitable foe, for
already the journals OF that party arc
beginning to aim their shafts at him.
Atkinson Is II born ,cRnpHigner. He
wears as well before the scrutiny Of
the public as any man the state ever
honored with political preferment, and
conscious In the sincerity OF an un-
blcmished character and an honorable
career he will have nothing to defend
except hIs party principles, and n VIC
tory II assured
There may be other candidates for the
honor, hut as the situation Sizes up
now. Atkinson would be nominated by
reclamation.

MIR, water.on on the Cleveland Image

MIR. Wattcrsom on the Cleveland Image.
II Republican had said of MIR.
Cleveland what the editor of the Louis
VILE Courler-JournRl says of him, the
saying would be attributed to partisan
malice. Mr.. watterson cannot he 10
suspected when he delivers himself In
these words;
"The Image which the people have
constructed out OF their own generous
and confdinG beliefs, setting It upon n
pedestal. labelling 1t Cleveland" and
extolllng its virtues, has never had any
actual existence, but in Its stead a dull,
ploddIng President, suspicious and
grudging, destitute alike OF imaginn.
ton and sympathy, and far, very far,
from hero of any kind"
II instead OF saying the people" Mr.,
watterson had said some people" he
would have hit 1t exactly. The Joss
which some persons have set up and
adorcd as Cleveland has never had the
breath OF life In It, Luck picked up =
man of no unusual ability and rushed
him into the white house. He had no
experience in public affairs and was
not student OF public QustIons.
1t suited the convenience OF the Mug
wumps to worship Cleveland as
an idol. and II considerable
element OF the Democratic party
fell In with that Idea. Tho cold
fact is that MIR. Cleveland is decidedly
commonplace man OF phenomenal
luck.

Tho sensational feature Of yester-

his impeachment, Certain II Is, how
ever, that he has given just cause for
consure from his fellow citizens In this

protection sentiment In America as "a
