The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1895-12-14

The New York Sun, one of the bit
terest opponents of the President and
his policies, is forced to admit:
There are two passages in Mr..
Cleveland's message which deserve
unqualified commentator. The first
is his announcement that England
has been notified, regarding her dis
pute With Venezuela, that the pres
ent administration adheres to the
Monroe doctrine; that the traditional
policy of the United States; is firmly
opposed to any forcible increase of
any European power on this CONT
nent and that the policy embodied
in the Monroe doctrine is right and
sound, and will be maintained. We
note also with considerable pleasure
that the President takes up some
what energetically the cause of our
shamefully underpaid Ambassadors
and Ministers. His remarks on the
urgent necessity of providing official
residences for our diplomatic repre-
sentatives in the great capitals of
Europe, and paying them salaries
which shall enable them to live with
out either impoverishing themselves
or disgracing the Government they
represent, are wise and just and
true"
The Philadelphia Ledger says: 1T
will be recognized by the intelligence
and fairness of his countrymen to be
an especially forceful and patriotic
State paper; one dignifled by its
statesmanlike form and conservative
spirit"
The Philadelphia Record There
is no question that this document
will meet, as it deserves, the hearty
commentator of the country"
The New York Herald concludes a
long editorial review of the message
as follows:
"As a whole, this message is such
state paper as the country has a
right to expect from its Chief Mag
istrate-frm and strong and true;
the President has opinions and the
courage of them. He has views of
policy and expresses them clearly.
He is the head of noble common
wealth Of States, to which he offers
wise counsel in words of dignity and
weight. The Republic is fortunate
in such President; his party also
is fortunate, and its best hope of
good fortune in the near future lies
in nominating him to be a third time
President"

"sizing Up" Our Nominee.

The Morgantown New DOMINION
in lengthy editorial, brings out Col.
Clarence L. Smith for the Democrat
ic nomination for governor. Colonel
Smith is the editor of the FaHmont
Index, the most influential, Demo
cratic paper in the interior of the
state. He has served in the legisla-
ture and has been for years a mem
Der Of the university board of re-
gents and lieutenant colonel of the
First Regiment of the West Virginia
National Guard. He is an able ed
itor, popular and prosperous citi-
zen and a gentleman. These things
being all true of him, one would ma
turally suppose that the Democratic
party would be quick to take him
up as an available candidate, but it
will not. Colonel Smith does his
own thinking and at times is indie
pendent enough to read his party
leaders some wholesome lessons on
party integrity and consistency.
While they may all admire his
frankness and his sterling qualiti es
they do not like to be scolded. Be.
sides they want candidate whom
they can control in the event of his
election, and Col. Smith is not that
sort of man. We all know how
Governor MacCorkle is being abused
by the Democracy from one end of
the state to the other for this very
reason. Governor MacCorkle does his
own thinking He very often thinks
the wrong thing, but it is not to his
discredit that he doesn't always ask
advice from the party bosses. These
bosses will doubtless steer clear of
Col, Smith for the same reason. 1t
is not known whether or not the Col.
is candidate. G.. d.
Wheeling Inteligencer.
We are obliged to our Republican
contemporary for discovering points
of commentator in Col Smith as
nominee for Governor, which we did
not enumerate.
We did not essay to enumerate all
his good qualities but we are es-
pecially pleased with the points
which our contemporary brings for
ward in disparagement of his availa-
bility.
These are the very ones we would
emphasize as commencing Col. Smith
as the candidate of the people at this
juncture of the political situation.
If we had wanted jumping jack
politician who does not think. and
has no ideas of his own, and no
principles that he dare avow above
his well-the woods are full
of that kind of cattle. 1t is because
Col. Smith is not one of the common
herd that we thought it worthy to
point him out. We have done it en-
tirely on our own responsibility, but
the adverse criticism of our Repub-
lican contemporary is the most con
elusive evidence that we are on the
right track.

BIRTHDAY Party.

The Birthday Party" given last
night by the ladies Of the Presbyter-
ian church was the first affair of the
kind that has been held in Morgan
town and it proved a most pleasing
novelty in the way Of church enter
tainment The party was held in the
vacant store room in the |. o. o. f.
building. and to say that the large
room was comfortably filed would he
depressing from the truth for it was
damned" with ladies and gentle
men everyone OF whom appeared to
be perfectly willing to say I'm hay-
ing the best time / ever had in my
life. Pretty little silk bags had
been sent to members of the church
and in them they were expected to
place a penny for each year they had
spent in this vale of tears" and de
posit she bag in a box at the door as
they entered. Judging from the con
tents of some of the bags this is a
very healthy climate and conducive
to old age as there Were many eenten-
arians. The display window was
prettily decorated and three little
girls presided at table placed in
the window and dispensed tatfy, nice
resi- sugar tafy and not the kind
they will give and take few years
hence. A fancifully decorated booth
was occupied by Misses Jessie Moor
head, Neva Jolliffe and Blanche Sc
mans who in their beautiful costumes
each looked the bewitching gypsy
queen and for consideration opened
the book of fate and read to many
an eager auditor the good or evil
fortune that the future held in store
for them. A fish pond afforded no
end of amusement. Fay Hawkins,
Arthur Dorsey and Fred Davis fur
nished delightful music on their
guitars and clarionet Several piano
recitals and vocal solos added great
ly to the entertainment of those pres
emit Refreshments consisting of ice
cream, cake and coffee were served
free of charge. The date of the birth
day party was set some time ago
and very large number of Morgan
town people were either born on or
managed to change their birthday
to December 10.

ON the financial question, which has
more to do with the prosperity of

The Wheeling News says: The
contest for the judgeship in Monon-
gala, Marion and Harrison district
is going to be very lively one. The
district is abnormally Republican
and the Republican candidate has a
"lead pipe cinch" in sporting Ian
guage Judge Hagans, of Morgan
town, who has held the office for
eight years and who has made a
competent Judge, wants to run
again, but he will not get the nomi-
nation without struggle. A new
man has come out within the last
few days in the person of W. S.
Meredith, of Fairmont, who is one of
the ablest members of the bar in the
county. He has a host of friends
who will stand by him. Meredith is
only forty years old and his people
were pioneers in the county. He has
a large practice and will make a stiff
fight. 1t looks very much on the
surface as if big fight among Re
publicans was brewing which may
cause some heartaches.
This is hardly news to the people
of this county, who have known for
some time that Judge Meredith's
friends would urge him as candi-
date for the judgeship of this circuit.
While it is a Republican fight, the
qualifications of Mr.. Meredith are so
pronounced that many Democrats
will be glad if he succeeds in secur-
ing the nomination. Without dis
paragement to Judge Hagans, the
concensus of the opinion of the bar
is that Mr.. Meredith is, in many re-
spects, one of the best qualified Re.
publicans in the circuit for the place.
