Hogging the Nomination.

|
The Intelligencer very aptly char
acterizes the campaign for the gov
ernorship going on in the southern
part of the state as "hogging the
nomination"
Our Democratic friends in the
kanawha valley have long rivaled
that apostle of Cheek" Ben. Butte,
himself, in the little trick of know
ing what they want and not ashamed
to ask for it,"
In the present campaign they have
risen up thus early, with the sever.
ity of Mr.. Flanagan of Texas, in
curing "what are we here for but
the offices" They have with the
same cool assurance, proceeded to
parcel out all the offices on the state
ticket from Governor down, among
themselves.
1t is kind of mutual admiration
society-this coterie of Kanawha as
plrants--a local combine for the I'm
selfish purpose of promoting each
others official ambition to the end
that the balance of the state NAV be
relieved of the burdens of public SER
vice.
The first phaze of this movement
was beautiful for spontaneity. 1t
was one Of the freaks of the tidal
wave that it should snatch the Gov.
ernor from that section; then. that
the Auditor should have been taken
up from the same locality; then the
Secretary of State was seen to be fol-
lowing in the trail of the wave from
the same stricken section-and so
on down through the ticket.
But this particular cyclone has
largely lost it's character for spon-
taneity. There is too much method
In It's madness. The genuine wave
seems, in fact, to have gone around
the Kanawha valley and is now CEN
tering in the opposite end of the
state. The waves of popular senti-
ment are not so well understood in
the kanawha as some other waves.
They will learn more about them
when they come up to the Wheeling
convention.

Browns Boom for Congress.

The demand fer Preston's fayorite
son. Hon. William G. Brown for con.
gress, has spread all over the dis
trict and met with general satisfac.
ton. In fact Junior" has always
been a favorite wherever known and
has large circle of friends all over
the district, who are enthusiastic
for his candidacy. The Philippi
Plaindealer has this to say of him
Gen. w. G. Brown. Jr., of King
wood, passed through this place yes
terday on his way to Tucker county.
The General is in the race for Con
gress in this district. Hi. friends
are working his claims for the place
for all it is worth, and he will be
right along at the front in the con-
vention if we are not mistaken For
various reasons he would make a
formidable candidate, and one who
we believe would give Mr.. Dayton
the greatest hustle of his life. Mr.
Daily we understand. is not candi
date for the place, and unless there
is dark horse in the race will mar
row down between Scott and Brown,
either of whom would make good
fight. The General at his home
{ preston county, is deservedly pop.
ular and would make inroads on the
Republican majority in that county
unless we are very much mistaken.

LET THE BOSSES READ.

Those bosses and organizations
and "organs" that resisted the popu
lar demand for the gold standard are
whipped and Inundated. They have
all been caught red handed in plot
to deceive the people "The money
question" they said, amounts to
nothingl 1t will adjust itself. 1t is
a mere tride. We must secure our
candidate at all odds. If there is
any issue, it is the tariff. We can
straddle the currency question and
thus win the election. Votes are the
all important thing"
This scheme of evasion would have
prolonged the agitation of the silver
question indefinitely, destroyed pop
ular confidence at home and abroad,
unsettled business, produced panics
and ultimately have wrecked the Re-
publican party. There is no issue
on the tariff.

GEORGETOWN, British Guiana. JUNE
23.-Mr. Harrison, the official who wa.
in charge of the laborers who wert
opening road from the Barima to the
Cuyum river within the Schomburgh
line, when they were stopped by a force
of armed Venezuelans on June 10, ha,
been arrested by the Venezuelans under
fresh orders from Caracas and carried
to the Venezuelan station opposite
Uruan, the Venezuelans claiming the
right to arrest foreigners on the left
bank Of the Cuyuni.
The arrest of Mr.. Harrison has aroused
the colony of British Guiana, and the
population demands that Great Britain
take immediate and decisive action in
the case.
When the Venezuelans first stopped
the laLorcrs from proceeding with the
work. ORDERS were sent from George
town to MIR. Harrison not to offer VIC.
lent resistance, but to withdraw under
protest.
A Washington special says: No off,
cial advices have been received in
diplomatic circles of the arrest of Mr..
Harrison, as reported in the above dis
patch. Surprise is not expressed at the
conflict of authority, as the opinion il
that such difficulties may be expected
so long as the boundary question re.
mains unsettled. The affair is similar
in many respects to the Uruan incident
of year ago.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.-The Demo-
Gratis of Indiana are gathering in great
numbers for the state convention which
will be held tomorrow. 1t is probable
that two days will be devoted to the
convention. Free silver will carry the
convention and the platform win be
very strong, favoring free and unlim-
tied immediate and independent COIN
age Of silver at the ratio Of 10 to 1.
The free silver delegates will include
1000 of the 1,747 delegates, the ma
jority of the gold standard element
coming from indianapolis.
There is long list of candidates for
the various offices, the prospects being
that b. +. Shively Of South Bend will
be nominated for governor. The free
silver executive committee has made all
the arrangements for the convention.
r. @. Bell of Fort Wayne will be chair
man, and Dan McDolhld Of Plymouth
secretary Governor Matthews and the
silver leaders have been at work ON the
platform. The delegation will be solid
at Chicago for Matthews and free silver.
The selection Of delegates at large made
by the governor are 4: Senators Turpie
and Voorhees,, Judge McCabe of the SUI
preme court and G. V. Menzies of Mt
Vernon.

1t is no doubt unfortunate that
the issue of protection should be
mixed up with the real issue of the

In our opinion, the pre- eminence

become intensified as time goes on,
so that when the election of Novem-

the main issue upon which the minds

one before which all other considera-
tons will have to yield.
