PURE PATRIOTISM.

Events of the past two or three
weeks in this city have demonstrated
the FACT that the BUSINESS and
PROFESSIONAL men of this county,
without regard to former political affil-
iations, are unit in their opposition
to Mr.. Bryan and most bitterly OPP
posed to the principles embodied in
the Chicago platform. They realize
that the triumph, even temporarily,
of party advocating such fallacious
dogmas would be most detrimental.
Their actions carry more weight than
the most eloquent speech or the most
elaborate essay They are men who
have carefully and conscientiously
studied every phase of the campaign
and they have decided, notwithstand-
ing the fact that many of them have
been lifelong Democrats, to stand tor
sound money and national integrity.
1t is no small matter for them to sep
arate themselves from their former
political associates and break the ties
that have bound them for years; but
they are honest men and patriots
and believing as they do. any other
action would have been sufficient to
have at least branded them as derna-
gogues.
The action of those men should
have great weight with others who
have not had an opportunity to study
and investigate the situation. 1t
should cause every farmer, every
mechanic, every man who earns his
daily bread by the sweat of his face,
to think over the matter and be sure,
before he casts his ballot, that he is
not voting to take the bread out of the
mouths and the clothes off the backs
of those dependent upon him. And
farmers should be very sure that they
are not promoting a scheme to plunge
them deeper in debt and finally bring
them to bankruptcy.
Never was there time in the his
tory of the country when men should
take more pains to inform themselves
fully before voting.
The safe thing to do is to call upon
an honest man who is not seeking Of
flee, a man who loves his fellow man
and is not easily swayed by prejudice,
man who has had an opportunity to
inform himself and who will honestly
and truthfully advise the best course
to pursue, and then, having found the
safe way to pursue 1t.

POLITICAL cHIcANERY.

The Popocrats. not satisfied with
absorbing all Of the rag-tag and bob
tail Of political creation have tried to
steal into the Sound Money camp.
They went around on the quiet and
obtained signatures to petition to
the clerk Of the circuit court Of JefFer-
son county, and he very obligingly
put the names Of VIM. 6 Brown, and
D. w. Shaffer, both blatant Popocrats,
on the Sound Money ticket and certi-
fed his action to Clerk W. B. Colston,
Of this county, and he did likewise.
We presume similar action has been
taken in each of the counties Of the
district.
Then, as match, certain Republi-
can got up petition to the clerk Of
the circuit court OF Morgan county,
and he placed the name Of I. w. B.
Duckwall on the Republican ticket for
Judge of the Circuit Court, there being
no Republican nominee. Mr.. Colston
refused to accept Duckwall's name in
this county.
We may be mistaken, but in our
opinion the action of both parties is
reprehensible in the highest degree.
We understand the National Demo
cratic Committee will meet this Fri
day. evening to consider the matter,
but we have no idea what their action
will be. If they allow Shaffer and
Brown to remain on their ticket they
will stultify themselves, and if Repub-
licans permit a few persons tosay who
shall or shall not be on the Republi-
can ticket, they are no better, it hav-
ing been the understanding that no
nomination would be made for Circuit
Judge.
The Herald will have more to say
on this subject as we are opposed to
such political skullduggery from what
ever source it may come.

BY all odds the best meeting Of the
campaign in this city was that which
assembled last Saturday evening to do
honor to our next Governor, Hon. G..
w. Atkinson. The Opera House was
packed, and tor two hours the vast
throng listened and applauded.
Though tired and hoarse, the gallant
West Virginian, knowing he was sur
rounded by friends, outdid himself
and made one Of his very best speeches.

VIM G.. Brown, the banker candi-
date of the Popocrats for the place
now so ably filled by Aston Gordon
Dayton, says the tariff is dead issu
He would vote against a restoration
of the tariff on wool and would vote
to allow the present shoddy tariff to
stand. Mr.. Dayton is in favor of a
tariff that will protect every Ameri-
can industry. All those who favor
better times, who would return to the
good times of 90 and 90 should vote
for Dayton.

An explanation of the decline in
the price of silver is that last Sum
mer big silver pool was formed when
it was supposed Bryan might be elect
ed. Now that his defeat is assured
the pool, or trust, is unloading, hence
the slump. Be that as it may oursilver
dollar is now worth intriusically but
20 cents and had we free coinage Of
silver as advocated by Bryan that
would be its value.

Governor C. w. Atkinson spent last
Friday in Jefferson, speaking at
Charles Town, in the afternoon and
at Harpers Ferry at night. Both
meetings were magnificent. AtCharles
Town he was met and escorted into the
town by the Atkinson and Dayton
club white fifty-three stroug, of which
Hon. S. V. Yantis is president, and
two colored clubs, with a band The
meeting is said to have been the
largest of the campaign. Harpers
Ferry was a duplicate. There was per

If the Popocrats love silver as they
aver, why do they not agree to put
100 cents worth Of it in their proposed
dollar? That would soon put all of
the silver in use as money and there
would be no reputation in the scheme.
They could then 60 before the people
advocating an honest dollar and at
the same time gives the silver miners
plenty of work.

Kanawha feels herself highly hon
ored by the action of the Parkersburg
convention in nominating Hon. H. c..
McWhorter for Judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
1t is not only Kanawha county,
but the Third Congressional district
and, in fact, the entire State of West
Virginia, that feels herself honored.
Capt. McWhorter's Republicanism
integrity, public services and person
al character are all of the highest or
der, and when elected to the position
for which he is candidate, he will
fill it with credit and discharge its
duties in a manner that will show, in
the most emphatic way possible, the
wisdom of the convention in choosing
him for the place.
Capt. McWhorter has long been
prominently connected with the pub
lie affairs of the State, of which he
has been a resident since IS4I. He
served in the Union Army in the
Ninth West Virginia Infantry-hrst
as private, afterwards as lieutenant,
then as captain. He was severely
wounded, and on this account, re-
signed. in 1868, but remained in the
provost marshal's department until
the close of the war.
In early life he was Deputy Clerk
of the Roane County Court, and at
the close of the war he located in
Charleston and engaged in the prac-
tice of law. In IS69-7o he was Pros
ecuting Attorney for Kanawha coun-
ty. He served as member OF the
House of Delegates from 1865 to 1868,
and was at one time speaker of that
body. He was again elected men,
Der of the House in 1854 and 1886.
In each instance he served to the en-
tire satisfaction of his constituents.
In the campaign of 1888 he was NOM
mated for Judge Of the Supreme Court
of Appeals, although he did not as
pire for the honor, and later was APP
pointed, by President Harrison, as
Postmaster at Charleston, which po-
sition he held until removed by Pres
ident Cleveland, in favor of Mrs.
Kenna.
No one can boast of better record
and no one could have been placed upon
the ticket who would make stronger
candidate. -Charleston Star-Tribune,

Very Accommodating.

Captain v, a brave and gener-
Gus frontiersman, was the father of
two charming girls, the eldest of
whom was engaged to gallant
young Texas ranger. The day ap-
pointed for the wedding dawned,
''and all went happy" up to noon,
when the bride elect avowed her de-
termination not to marry, as she loved
another man. This was happy
turn in affairs, as the Tilted young
man soon found that he loved her
sister best, who also loved him in
return; but when he came to ask her
fathers consent things began to grow
embarrassing, as it reminded him that
he had once performed this unpleas-
ant duty, and then the old man did
not seem over-willing to confde the
other daughter to his keeping. So,
plucking up all his courage, he hast
lily and excitedly implored Captain
v to sanction the union.
"Take her," was the brief reply,
and if she goes back on you, I will
make the old woman marry you"

Owns Judas Blood Money.

Mrs. Sophia Floeckher is the pos
SCISSOR of the most remarkable relic
extant, and which has been in her
family for hundreds of years. 1t is
an old Hebrew coin, and ancient
documents in her possession show it
to be one of the thirty pieces Of silver
paid to Judas Iscariot to betray the
Saviour.
The coin was shown to a corres-
pondent today. It was about the
size of silver half dollar, and was
dim and discolored with age. Upon
one side was chalice in bas-relief
from which ascended the smoke of
incense. This was surrounded by
old Hebrew letters. On the other
side of the coin was a representation
of the staff of Aaron, which put forth
leaves, blossomed and bore fruit all
in one day. This staff was also
encircled by old Hebrew characters.
About the thirty pieces of silver
cluster innumerable traditions. It
has been stated that there are twenty
three still extant, preserved in ancient
collections. Judas, in the over
mastering agony of his soul, cast the
silver at the feet of the high priests,
and they refusing to accept blood
money, bought the potters' field
wherein to bury strangers.
Historically, so much is authentic,
but tradition runs that not one of
those pieces which purchased the
betrayed Saviour and bought the
potters' field was ever lost, but are
still in the world with a fatal curse
upon them which falls on all who
touch them. AS Judas hanged him
self, Plate drowned himself and the
high priest went mad, so must all
who hold them suffer. Mrs. Flock
her, however, appears to have es-
capped the ban, for she is in excellent
health and spirits, with fine intelli-
gence and an excellent memory.

a Deceptive Negro.

note to the judg:
