THE MCKINLEY BULGE

A careful examination reveals a
lump about the size Of walnut on
most OF the heads of the Republican
panhandlers.
This is not exactly a tumor, but it is
a political ezcrsccnce called the McKin-
ley bulge filed with protection gall. 1t

We are not banking this year on Re
publican disanection. We have no
faith in any great Republican kick.
There is no principle animating the
Republican party eXecept a desire for
spoils. The only differnce between
their leaders are those Of ways and
means TO capture the offices. They eX-

STATE PRIDE LACKING.

The friends Of Senator Elkins here
would be more numerous and Outspok-
en- for him as a Presidential possibility.
but for the Wheeling Intelligencer,
which will allow no complimentary
reference by 81 West Virginian unless it
be for Mckinley. If there is any pos
sible chance of nominating a citizen of
our own State as a candidate for the
Presidency. it seems that the Intalll-
gencer should not so persistently op-
pose it. We fully agree with our es-
teemed contemporary that Mr. Elkius
cannot be elected, or even nominated,
but he might be thus com1limented.-

GUBERNAToRIAL POSSIBILITIES.

Hon w. G. Bennett of Weston, came
TO town Saturday and remained until
Monday with his son who is a student
I'm the University. Judge Bennett is
prominently spoken of as a candidate
for Governor and he has many friends
and admirers throughout the State. In
1892 he was before the State conyen-
ton and came within a very few votes
Of receiving the nomination. The
Judge is a strong man both intellect
ually and before the people.
The intention of the people
TO nominate Col c. L. Smith for Gov

of the State assure us of very strong
support from that sectiOn.-Morgan-

The Poor Old r1an.

A poor old man, shabbily attired,
was seen walking through one of the
fashionable STREETS of a large city one
cold December day. His coat was of a
coarse gray and had evidently seer
lard service. The traveller walked
slowly along, examining carefully, as he
passed, the names on the different door
plates. He finally paused before a
dwelling of snowy exterior, which, if
we may credit the testimony of the
plate upon the door, was occupied by
Mr.. Alexander Beaumont.
alexander Beaumont Yes, that S
the name murmured the traveller to
himself as he ascended the steps and
rang the door-bell.
His summons were answered by a
foot-man, who, after a moments scru-
tiny, said, roughly, We'll, what do you
want?"
rs Mr.. Beaumont at homer" asked
the Oldham, without needing the in
territorial rudeness.
NO; he is not"
Then perhaps | can see his wife?''
Il think it very doubtful; but l will
go and see
The servant withdrew without ask
iLg the old man to enter, although the
day was very cold, and his clothing
seemed to be hardly sufficient to pro-
tect him from it's inclemency.
Mrs. Beaumont was reclining on a
sofa in a room handsomely furnished
The last new magazine was in her
hand, and her eyes were listlessly
glancing over its pages. She was in
terrupted in her reading by the en-
trance of the servant.
+ We'll. what now?" she inquired.
There is a man down stairs who
wants to see you, ma'am.''
Man" A gentleman, you mean"
mo ma'am,'' said Charles stoutly
lit isn't a gentleman at all, for he has
got on an old gray coat, and he has no
got any gloves on?"

THE DOOM OF DOLLY.

/ a milking machine was exhibited at
the recent Dairy Show which MIXED
ten cows in five minutes-Daily Pa
peri
o Dolly! with thy eyes Of blue,
And cheeks as red as roses.
With lips that steal the cherry's hue,
And breath as sweet as posies,
o Dolly, tripping on thy way
Midst natures fairest scenery,
What is this rumor, say, oh, say!
Of milking by machinery?
No more, tbs said, with stool and pail
Art thou to gayly sally,
No more to dance it down the dale,
Or loiter in the vall5y;
No more art thou, thy well-shaped ear
'Gainst dappled Cowslip leani2g,
To dart at Strephon, standing near.
A glance of saucy meaning:
For grim nvention-sentiment'
Most pertinacious snubber-
Has shaped a thing of wire and string.
And tape and indiarubber;
Has, out of brass, and zinc. and glass.
And webbing soft as silk, made
An apparatus meant henceforth
To play the part of milkmaid!
So, Dolly, thou to Fate must bow,
And our regret grows keener
AS thy poetic figure joins
The thresher and the cleaner.
Arcadia is again bereft
And bards in sorrow mutter-
There's nothing now idyllic left
Connected with our butter
London Truth.
