JUDGE BENEFITS CANDIDACY.

In another column viii be found an
interesting communication TO the Reg
lister from Judge w. G. Bennett, Of
Weston. on the subject Of his guberna-
torial candidacy.
Ii is a communication that will inter-
est all the other candidates, for Judge
Bennett comes out fairly and squarely
as a candidate for the Governorship.
He has not seen fit to make this state
menl before in this campaign, or, to
quote the Judge more correctly, he has
net seen fit TO become an active candi-
date for the Democratic nomination.
He states as a reason that he made an
active canvass in 1892 for the Demo-
cratic nomination and was defeated,
and, hence, has not felt it incumbent
upon him, or proper, TO push himself
to the from, this year in the same man
ner. Consequently, Judge Bennett an
pounces that, although he has made no
active canvass for the nomination, still
he will deem it his duty to accept that
nomination should the Democratic con-
vention select him as its candidate.
This is Judge Benefits position in
Ia nutshell.
judge Bennett is very popular
throughout The State and had he made

More Petitions Coming in from Working
men and Farmers-His Nomination Ex-
pected by Acclamation.
Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, July 3O.-Al-
though it is generally conceded now
that there will be bat little opposition
to the nomination of Gen. Watts for
Governor by the Democratic State con-
yention, and the general belief prevails
that he will be nominated by acclama-
zion. and notwithstanding the TACT that
he IS now an avOwed candidate, petit
tons continue 20 come in from the work
ingmen. farmers and the masses OF the
people generally throughout the state,
REGARDLESS Of former party affiliations,
asking for his nomination and pledging
him support There has probably never
been a more spontaneous demand for
the nomination Of any man for an Office
In West Virginia than there is now for
General Watts.
Many things have contributed TO this
universal sentiment in General WatJs's
favor. First, he is essentially a man
of the people, and one in whom the
masses have implicit confidence. He
has proved himself to be a sincere friend
of The plain people. Second, he belongs
to no clique or faction. He has made
no promises and no combination with
any man or set Of men. He will not
make any, because il is not necessary
for him to do So He is entered indie
pendent and untrameled as far as his
candidacy is concerned. Third, he is
the right kind Of a man TO become the
standard-bearer of a great party, and
when elected, 10 become the chief mag
istraJe Of a progressive and patriotic
people, such as compose the State Of
West Virginia. While be is q vigorous
campaigner. a brilliant speaker, earnest
in his advocacy of what he believes to
be just and right and for the interest Of
the people at large, he IS, at the same
time, cOnciliatory in his speeches and
just and generous to his opponents.
These are some of the qualitise in Cen
eral Watts that will make him invincible
before the people.
Among the latest candidates an
nounced for the nomination for the Su-
preme bench Is Hon. s. S. Green. of
ghis city. As the nomination for that
position will likely come from this Con-
eressiOnal district leach of the other
districts being already represented on
the Supreme BENCH the Democratic con-
vention could not DO better than to nom
mate Mr.. Green. He Is deeply learned
In the law and has had long and varied
experience as a practitioner.

that the Recommendation Of silver in 1873
destroyed three-f0urths Of the money in
which our public debt was payable.
Gold bullion to-day represents money
because it can be taken to the min; and
coined into money. Silver prior to its
decentralization also represented money
and could be taken TO the mint and
coined into money at the ratio Of 16 to l
o9 gold. Therefore when silver was
demonedzed, stricken down as money,
and gold alone made the money of final
redemption not only one-half of
our money was destroyed as Gen. War
ner said, but more than half, and every
debt consequently, made just twice, or
more than twice, as hard to pay. And
this is as true Of the individual as it
is of the government
If silver had not been demonetized We
would to-day have at least twice as
much money Of final redemption as we
have. if not three or four times
as much-jusJ as good money Is gold
with which to pay our public debt,
while now we have TO borrow from our
creditors. and at high rate of interest,
the only money in which we can pay
them.
What a financial farce! The gold ar
sunent is gradually getting down to a
reductio ad absurdum basis.

TERRIBLE STORM.
Fifteen Persons Reported Killed at

Cleveland, O., July SO.-A special
from Athens, Ohio, says:
The most destructive storm in the his

tails are meagre and it is impossible TO
learn names.

cles etc, was blown into the creek and
swept away Nearly every building in
the town is damaged and many are COM
pletely demolished.
The streets are filled with broken tim
Der and all kinds of debris.
To add to the horror Sunday creek
is sweeping everything before it. Sew
eral houses have been washed away
and two persons are reported drowned
LATER-Word has just reached here
that the list of the dead VIII reach fif-
