Olaf

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen OF
the Convention;
Two years ago, for the first time
in almost twenty-five years, victory
came to the Republicans Of West
Virginia. Though long delayed, il
was the fruit of unswerving loyalty
and untiring efforts Of n band OF
leaders, who, during all that long
night of disaster and defeat, had
kept the faith and borne aloft on
the scene of political battlcfelds the
proud banner of Republicanism
The national convention at st. Louis
realizing the fcrceness of the war
fare to be waged against us in the
approaching campaign, and the
momentousness for veal or woe of
the issues Of this battle, placed the
national standard in the hands of a
veteran soldier, around whom the
hosts of Republicans can rally with
the assurance of leadership worthy
of the great cause for which we
fight.
The convention should be mind.
ful of this example. ] ask you "a
place the standard of your party, in
this Congressional district, in the
hands Of man whose record in the
past IL an earnest for his fidelity in
the future; who starts into the fgh,
with the prestige of success achiev.
ed, and whose record in the halls OF
your national Legislature will be the
pledge of his loyalty TO the princi-
pies enunciated by your st. Louis
convention. Give us Warren Mil.
Ter and the Fourth district will give
to William Mckinley one more sure
stay and support for the brillisn,
administration that awaits this coun.
try at his hands.

Glad Tidings relates a story that &C.
Cured during the revival meetings held
by Rev. ]. Wilbur Chapman in Buffalo:
A lady-a member Of one of the
churches, but worldly-sought to bring
her son to Christ. He was unmoved and
showed no anxiety for his salvation
She wrote him a letter and told him Of
her desire, expressing the fear that she
had, perhaps, been in the way. 1t was
true. Two years before, during special
services, her son had been interested.
He had asked his mother to go with
him to a meeting. She said, mot to-
night. This is the regular meeting Of
our whist club, but I'll go some other
night" From that time there seemed
to be smitten out Of him every thought
of the Holy Ghost. He read his mothers
letter, her entreaties. She watched him.
Tears came to his eyes; but he put the
letter in his pocket, and never looked
at it again. OH 1t is a serious thing
to be trifing when the souls of others
are depending on us.

by opium smoking, became a low for

the influence of the Gospel and burned
his magical books and sought to re-

seeking to break off the habit were in
tense, but borne patiently. The temp

use of the drug was such as few could
have resisted, but he would not yield,
though he died. And die he did, stead

near Gray's Harhor. Wash, the other
day, came to big, fallen tree in his

on the back of bear, which evidently
had been asleep there. The bear was
as much startled as the horse and
quickly made off, while the hunter was
thrown to the ground, the horse pitch
