Now the writer thinks differently. l

fer his action. Every logical thinker

the logical candidate, and as he Is the
"preseut incumbent" in the 10th Soma

makes him the "IoscAl candidate" Let
us see: If disregard for the expressed
wishes of constituents, in a representative
capacity, and the mere endorsement of q
convention which assembled for an en-
tirsly different purpose, constitutes per-
son "logical candidate then Dir. Wal
ten is indeed such a candidate. But the
TACT is, Mr.. Walton can only lay claim to
candidacy self constituted, and BY no

as an independent candidate, nothing

that he is a bright young man, and is In
every way capable of representing the
people of the 10Th Senatorial District. BE
is making an earnest, vigorous, persistent

An Outrage at Melrose.

The store-house and stock of merchan-
disc of Charles n. Besry at Melrose, ia
thil county. was destroyed by fire at an
early hour Wednesday morning. Build
ing and goods were total loss. The fire
was the work of incendlaries who Piob-
ably first plundered the store and then
set FIRE to it.
SHORTLY after midnight Mr.. Beery was
aroused by a noise at the store. lie arose
and without dressing took a light revolver
and went to the rear of his house TO make
an investig alton. lie saw MN stand
ing near the back door OF the store and
heard Others on the inside. He opened
sre on the man outside and his Ere was
promptly returned Mr.. Beery then went
back into the house t. put on some cloth

come greatly excited over the shooting.
A few minutes lat er he vert to Andrew
Bazzle's residence near by 10 get assis-
lance. He had col siderable trouble to
arouse Mr. Bazzle's family, and some
time elapsed after the FIRST alarm before
an investigation could be made. As the
party approached the store there was On
o1or of smoke which awakened a sus-
picion of fire 10 the building, and when
Mr.. Beery unlocked the store door fame
aud smoke burst forth, almost Overpower-
ing him, and and preventing any OF the
parties from entering. The Dire made
ra pid head way and the building with all
ito contents was speedily destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $500, with al in
surance of $1,000.
Mr Beery IS postmaster at Melrose and
the Office was located at his store. All
mail in the office and postal supplies
were lost in the flames. There is no clue
as vet to the ldebty or whereabouts OF tho
burglars and incendiaries. 1t is to be
hoped that they may be apprehended and
punished as severely as the enormity OF

Senator German is positive that
tbs democratic ticket In Mlryllnd
will win by about G,OOO, but the
republicans expect to spring a
surprise IN their vote.
The Ohio republicans cidlu
everything by a reduced majority
but the democrats have had their
hopes strengthened by ex Coy

Go Slow.

Men who have not united in the
effort to iujure the democratic
party by opposing the regular
nominee OF the party are spoken or
in some narts OF Shenandoah, as
republicans aud sympathiseTs with
republicans. At present, all we
have to say is,"go slow, gentlemen"
The public will understand peoples
politics and they will recognize
the friends OF the several poltl'
cal parties. Men, who are nrm'J
attached to the principles OF any
party, are frequently prosecuted
by others who have no polltical
principles and are the mere tools OF
those who desire to use them.

publcans no good reasons for future
tinkcrng with the currency.
The Richmond Dispatch OF Friday prints

We predict that Congress will DO nothing
with the finances. Speaker Crisp IL sd-
vertiscd as going 10 Asheville, n. c..
for his health, which Is poor and Is re-
ported az saying that he has no plans
and no hopes of legislation outside Of the

session OF Congress. which closes Just six
weeks from yesterday. -Freiericksburg
Free Lance.
II the Lance proves 10 be prophet so
much the worse will II be for the Demo-
cratic party However. we shall hope
as long as there Is room for hope. The
German bill superseded the Wilson bill
under more unfavorable circumstances
than now prevail in Washington. 1t Is
now the law OF the land.
What we say on this subject Is based
upon the absolute necessity OF doing
something to satisfy the people. Ma
po,eon's return from Moscow was I'M
speakably disastrous. Are the Demo-
Gratis in Congress ready for such
march?
