THE Charlestown AdU0cate favors
Captain Melvin for county commission
er because he is a red-hot l6-to-l silver
man. What has that to do with the
county court affairs? Should the adj
vocates of the gold standard ignore
Capt. Melvin's business qualifications
and oppose him because Of his views
on the monetary question? We advise
our readers to vote for candidates for
county commissioner as they vote for
the Legislature-select the men who
have the best business qualifications,
regardless of free silver or gold.

We understand that Prof. Wilson
NJ. Foulk, Of Piedmont, will be a can
didate for the nomination for State Su-
perintendent of Free Schools before
the Democratic convention at Wheel
ing, 1t may be that this honor will
come to the second district, and if it
does we hope it will be bestowed upon
Prof Foulke. We know of no one
who will fiji the Office more creditably.
He is an enthusiastic school man, with
original ideas and quick perceptions
of the things necessary in his line of
work heis vigorous and energetic up
to-date in his methods, and with lib
eral views and progressive methods
His pleasing personality, his courtesy
and brightness are qualities that should
be, as they are in his case, prominent
in one who fills this position, while his
reliability and perfect sincerity and
honesty will commend him to all who
are interested in this branch of our
State government Prof Foulk is a
heightened, honorable gentleman, par
ticularly well equipped for the Office
he seeks. He would add strength to
the Democratic ticket and we guaran-
tee that our educational interests
would be in safe and competent hands
if they are entrusted to him.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has written
a statement Of his views on the Dem
ocratic situation for publication in the
New York Herald He says that Dem
ocrats should fight the sound money
cause to the end, and the danger of
free silver should inspire the advocates
of stable currency to renewed activ-
ity. He believes that the Democratic
party is neither foolish nor unpatriotic,
and he hopes it will'not endorse the
free and unlimited coinage of free sill
yer. He says he desires hereafter no
other position than that of a private
in the Democratic ranks.
