snow flakes IN November over this
broad land there will be victory for

| lutions was adopted and substantial
ly as follows:
The Republicans of Harrison county
| in convention assembled congratulate
| the people upon West Virginia's pollt-
| icaI regeneration in 1894 when we tri-
umphantly elected a majority in botn
branches of the State Legislature, all
four Congressman and the Represen-
| tative in the United States Senate.
we affirm our adherence to the prln-
ciples of the Republican party as de-
| fined by the National convention OF
1892, chief among which are protec-
| tive tariff which restoring American
wages and American products, shall
serve the highest interests OF Amerl-
can labor and American development,
while providing adequate revenue for
the uses of the government.
We denounce the present bond sell
| ing Democratic administration whose
vascillating course has brought us dis
| tress at home and humiliation abroad.
We denounce the free wool provision of
the present tariff act as unjust discrimina-
llUU against an llllpbl tdl4b ii4NNottJ tti.N ~
mand such protection for sheep husbandry
as will secure fair prices for American
wool
We favor bi-metallism and demand the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money, either in accordance with a ratio to
be fixed by an international agreement. if
that can be obtained, or under such restric-
| ton and provisions to be determined by
legislation as will secure the maintenace
of the parity of values Of the two metals,
so that the purchasing and debt paying
| power Of the dollar, whether of silver, gold
or paper, shall he at all times equal.

Capt. w. w. Ker, the attorney who
represents the Cubans in their cause at
Philadelphia and also the steamship COM
pany, said that hereafter the steamers of
the Hart Line plying between Philadel-
phia and Cuba will be armed. The Horsa
and her companion boats are to have both
bow and stern chasers. The Captain con-
tinued: IT am told the Spanish authori-
ties have said that IL they catch one of the
vessels of the Hart Line in Cuban waters
they will make it hot for the ship. We
are not going to give up the West Indian
trade, and we know there are no United
States vessels there to protect ours. We
have concluded to go into the protecting
business ourselves. There are lots of we'll
trained young men from our naval train
ing vessels who would be only too glad
to get a position where they could gain
practical experience, and there are no bet
ter gunners in the world than they are.
We are not going to seek trouble with the
Spaniards, but we cannot afford to have
our vessels chased and do not want to go
to the expense of the extra coal that would
be used in getting up steam to run away
from n Spanish cruiser. 1 have seen
some of these Spanish cruisers, and in
my judgment Cuban vessel of wae
manned by our young Americans will
have picnic with the Spanish feet, and
there will be enough prize money in it to
make some of our young men compare
