HIRED A SPECIAL.

HUNTINGToN, W. VA, July L.
A good story is told on TIE two
Democratic asplrants for the gov
ernorship-Geueral G. G. Watts
and /. Q. Ralphsnyder. 1t is said
that resently both candidates stop
ped over at the same hotel and were
awaiting the departure Of an early
morning train for the county seat
of a neighboriug county, where a
convention was to be held the fol-
lowing day. Next morning at early
dawn General Watts was at the
station awaiting the departure Of
the train, while his opponent was
sleeping soundly. Colonel Ralph
snyder did not reach the depot
until the train had gone. Mr..
Ralphsnyder charter Especial ."
had tho regular train side tracked,
and in less than 40 minutes the
train bearing General Watts and
party lying on a side track. Cen
eral Watts on reaching Elizabeth,
was amazed to discover his oppo-
nent standing on tho rear platform
Of the depot addressing a crowd Of
1000 voters on the silver question.
General Watts gave Col. Ralph
snyder his hand, and both laughed
heartily, but the swift ride on The
engine was never mentioned by
either. It's said they now travel
together in central West Virginia
and occupy the same room at night.

"What is the experiment ?" asked
Mrs. Bowser.
"Why, l was just reading in the
paper that not one woman out of
fifty, no matter how we'll educated,
was thoroughly up on photography.
An editor says that out of $50 COM
munications sent in by females an
average of one word out Of every
ten was misspelled.
"But men spell every word cor.

queried Mrs. Bowser.
"TheY do. 1t seems to come

be that nature meant it that way.

Hurrah for the Democratic ticket
and platform ! No matter what
sort of Democrat you were before
the Chicago convention made the
platform and nominated the ticket,
it is now the proper thing for you
to hurrah for the ticket and plat
form, and to go to work and render
what aid you can towards obtaining
a victory. More will be known as
TO the chance the Democracy has
to win after the Populist and silver
party conventions, both of which
meet at St. Louis on the 22nd Of
this month. If the members of
those conventions are as devoted to
the cause of silver as they profess
to be, they will nominate no ticket
of their own, but will endorse the
Democratic ticket. Should they do
that the Mckinley crowd would be
the worst frightened men In the
country, without good cause, either.
Should the Populists and the silver
Republicans get their backs up be-
cause the Democratic convention
would not allow them to name the
ticket, Mark Hanna's smile will
perceptibly broaden, but let us at
least hope that they Will no nothing
so suicidal.

Those naval officers who thought
that the assembling of large
squadron on the Atlantic coast
meant a summer of idle loafng
around the seaside resorts are wax
ing up to their mistake. 1t is the
intention of Secretary Herbert that
The squadron assembled on the At.

hard work drilling and exercising,
and in order that all of the officers
may get their share of the work,
orders have been issued reyoking all
leaves of absence, except on account
OF sickness, and directing officers
on waiting orders to report for duty.
These orders started n fresh crop OF
Cuban rumors, but there Is moth

There are plenty of Democrats in
Washington who do not like Dor
tlons of the platform and MANY
more who wanted other men NOM
mated, but SO far as | know none
of them are talking of boiling. The
National convention settled the
matter for them, and as good party
men they are now for the ticket.
The talk of President Cleveland
taking pars in a movement to NOM
mate gold Democratic ticket finds
few believers here. 1t is brick
houses to wood toothpicks that he
does nothing OF the kind. There
can only be one Democratic ticket
aud that has been nominated in a
regular manner by a properly con-
stltuted convention. OF course
after reading the platform, no one
can expect that President Cleve.
land will enthuse over it.

U. s. District Attorney Fran k
CLARK, of Florida, who is now in
Washington, said in answer to a
question of how things political
looked it that State: ooh. the
Democratic ticket will win as usual.
There is considerable interest in
the Senatorial race, but it ia too
early yet to predict the name of
Senator Calls successor, except to
say that he wall undoubtedly be a
Tree silver man. A great majority
OF Florida Democrats favor free
silver, although four of the dele.
gates to the Chicago convention
We're for gold. That was simply
the result of management, as the
gold men were in the minority at
the State convention.
