Centerville, Wayne Co., w. Va,

EDITOR ADvANCE:-Will you say
to the people of Kenova that we are
only waiting for them to make the
best offer possible for the removal
OF the county-seat to that place,
and hope for them to succeed in
getting the new Court House built
there. We believe the Land Com
pany can afford to build the struc-
ture free of cost to the taxpayers.
If they do this they can get the
votes sufficient to change the loca-
ton. Let me call attention to this
fact: If kenova is made the coun-
ty-seat, in less than six years from
that time, Ceredo District will paw
more tax than all five of the other
districts combined. When .say
WE, mean the people.
Again, | want to saw to Mr..
"Quill-back," of the Wayne News,
II the only reason he can find for be-
ing Democrat is because his father
was Democrat and fought in the
rebel army, that he may just as well
forget that. What a mans father
did 81 years ago has but little to do
with the present.
Now, my brother, Mr.. "Quill-
back, !, for one Democrat, would
be glad to know that our party is
being led by higher aspirations. 1t
is nonsense, and should be stopped
at once. Neither you nor / should
impose upon our county paper in
that way. Mr.. Mansfield does not
want to publish such letters, but on
account of party and personal friend
ship, is compelled TO do so.
think the time for consideration
IS at hand. We may be led by
prejudice to ruin. Both parties do
too much of that. If the Demo
Gratis knew who the writer is in this
case, then they would be for saying
that ] was not true 90 the PARTY.
Pardon me for putting in this sup-
gestion: If the Republican party
wants one Democrat in Wayne to
vote for one Of their candidates, just
let them nominate +. r. McDoupal

Some of the Democratic politi.
clans, who want office, are endeavor.
ing with all their ''might and main
to get the Camden and Wilson fac
lions in this county to unite. They
certainly have hard job on their
hands and are not likely to succeed.
The Camden element of the party,
who feel confident they were in the
right and that the Wilson men were
the "bolters," have not forgotten
how badly they were treated and
knowing the men, as we do, to be
composed of the best citizens of our
county, we are satisfied they will
never consent to join hands with
those who called them kickers and
boilers and endeavored to read them
out of the party. The men are not
built that way.

in his battle for more Protection
to American shipping. He is so
true friend to Protection to all
our industries that his labors in
behalf of our shipping interests
cannot but result in good fruits at
no distant day. And the sooner
the better. The policy he advo-
Gates is distinctly American in
idea and spirit. In results, also, it
would be distinctly of American
advantage. Therefore we need it.
And the more legislation of sim
liar character that we can place
upon our statute books the better
it will be for the United States.

Senator L. w. Morris for At
torney General.

State Journal.
There has been 4 strong under
current, noticeable To close observers
among the Republicans of many
sections of this State, in favor Of
Senator p. W. Morris, of Richie
county, for Governor. Had he been
inclined to enter the race he would
have surprised many by the strength
of his following. This is due to his
long and honorable career as Re
publican and his services in the Leg
islative halls and on the famous
Fleming Golf contest committee
Senator Morris is not only a writer
OF great force and clearneSs, n man
OF high character and unquestioned
ability but also successful and in
tluential attorney. The newspaper
fraternity have warm feeling for
him, and he has just been elected
President of the newly formed Re-
publican Editorial Association of
this State. But lately we have no
ticed decided movement in several
directions IN favor of Mr.. Morris
for the Republican nomination for
Attorney General on the State tick
ct. 1t is movement that gains
force without booming or pushing
and the more it is considered the
stronger it becomes. The Republi-
can party has wealth of material
from which to choose its next State
ticket, and among them all no one
stands higher as man and clear
headed Republican than the genial
sage of Richie county. 1t is not
necessary to say that he would
make splendid Attorney General.
Everybody knows that and knowing
1T comedies that he would make an
admirable official. Keep your eve
on Richie county when the State
ticket is named in Parkersburg this
summer.
