POLITICAL sTIsAws.

A politician will shake your
hand one minute and pull your leg
the next.
1t is the biggest kind of an in
suit to offer small sum of money
as n bride.
Many statesmen look upon a
morning cocktail as Constitution
al amendment
Some men vote as they pray, and
they never pray unless it is to ask
a personal favor.
A woman never knows what an
unprincipled scoundrel she has
married until her husband runs for
office.
Many a candidate thinks him
self Clay, only to discover after
election that his name is Mud.
Some men would rather be right
than be President, but there are
others that are not SO particular.
All the ballots in the world will
not give woman the right to put
her feet on the table until the
styles change in her dress.

NIcKinIey's silver Record.
Facts are IMPLYING thing In
1878 William Mckinley, as NOM
Der Of the National House Of Rep
resentatives, voted for the Bland
free coinage bill, for the Bland-Al-
lison bill and for the motion to
pass the latter over President
Hayes veto
In 1890 he voted for the Sher-
man Silver-P Purchase bill, and later,
in 1892, when he was out Of Con-
gress, he thus in an address to the
Republican League of his own
State of Ohio criticised the tinan-
oial policy of former President
Cleveland:
"During all of his years at the
head of the government he was
dishonoring one of our precious
metals, one of our great products,
discrediting silver and enhancing
the price of gold. He endeayored
even before his Inauguration TO of
fee to stop the coinage of silver
dollars, and afterwards and TO the
end of his administration persist
emily used his power to that end.
He was determined to contract the
circulating medium and demone-
tie one of the coins of commerce,
limit the volume of money among
the people, make money scarce and
therefore dear. He would have
Increased the value of money and
diminished the value of everything
else-money the master, every
thing else its servant"
In those days of free conscience
and free speech Mckinley was Nc
Kinley, man and master of him
self.
Wondrous change! Within the
the short space of six years Nc
Kinley hrs turned face about and
marched into camp as friend of
the Philistines against whom his
tongue and pen had previously
waged relentless warfare.
This is history and is incontro-
vertible. Mark Hanna may Eek
plain" until the heavens fall, with
out any result.

Debtor ana Creditor.

Some people do not appear to
see that the United States as a
debtor nation, owing vast sums to
England, payable in commodities,
is, on gold standard, at the mer-
oy of the foreign Shylock and hope
lessly insolvent. Who is traitor to
the Democratic party, the man who
would by repeal of infamous legis-
lation at least attempt the freeing
of his countrymen from such a
yoke; or the man who advocates
the perpetuation of such bondage?
/ also advise our brethren to read,
if they have not already done so,
the letter written by DIR. Ahrendt
to the New York Journal, in which
that great political economist, fol
lowing the example of Cermuschi,
declares that the only hope of BIZ
metallism by international agree
ment must be found in the tri-
umph of the Democracy led by
William j. Bryan. He also de-
clares that nothing would do more
good to settle the question of So
cialism. DIR. Ahrendt, no doubt,
apprehends that four more years
of the gold standard in the United
States would produce such n fear
full condition as would delight the
heart of Anarchist Most, who is i'll
favor of Mckinley and the British
money standard because he sees, ms
DIR. Ahrendt does, that the triumph
of Bryan would produce conditions
very unfavorable to men of his
character and objects. AS the
Maryland Boilers are presumably
admirers of President Cleveland, /
refer them to that functionary as
to constituents of party fealty. In
a letter to Mr.. Clark Howell, Mr.
Cleveland bases adherence to the
decision of party convention as
the true test of loyalty. Tried by
this test, the traitors are not in the
Bryan camp, but in the camps OF
the Boilers, who are the allies OF
Shylock just as much as Mckinley
and Mark Hanna. [ do not i'm
pugn any mans motives or ques-
ton his right to take what stand
he pleases, in this contention; but
it is just as we'll to let some light
upon the subject of what consti-
tutes treachery to the Democratic
party. If the Whitney-Vilas Dem
ocrats did not propose to abide by
the party convention, they should
have walked out in time, as Soma
tors Teller and Mantle did from
the Republican conclave.

Gen. q. g. watts.

Gen. g. @. Watts, is in the east
ern counties of this State whore he
is having large and enthuastic
meetings.. AT Piedmont, recently
he addressed crowd of over 5000
people; at Keyser, the next day he
was greeted with an enthusiastic
crowd of over 5000 people, and at
Elkins, the home of Senator Elkins,
he was met by a crowd numbering
between 5000 and 5000. This
meeting was presided over by ex-
Senator Henry Ct. Davis, and in in
Producing, Gen. Watts, the next
Governor of West Virginia, clearly
defined his position on the finan-
cial issue, calling the attention of
his hearers TO the fact that for 20
years he had been in favor of and
openly advocated bi-metalism, hay
ing in 1878, when in the Senate
from this State, made what was
and is still considered one of the
best presentations of the issues
from a bi-metallic standpoint.
Senator Davis then paid a glow
ing tribute to the worth and char
acter of the candidate, Gen. Q. g..
Watts, assuring the audience that
the affairs of the State would be
safe in his hands.
The great meetings our candi-
date for Governor is having, indi-
Gates, as surely as anything can,
that he will be trirnphantly elect
ed. Such enthusiasm on the part
of the people of the State hasnever
before been seen in this State.
Hundreds of Republicans at all
of these meetings, have openly de
clared for Bryan, free silver and
Gen. Watts.

DO Your Own Thinking.


In the pending contest of politi-
cal opinions and beliefs no man,
possessed of good common sense,
should weaken in conclusions hon
estly reached because some one
who may be considered smarter
holds contrary views or ridicules
the ideas of his neighbors.
The question of the wisdom and
righteousness cf different financial
systems is not one that summons
it's best judges from those creatures
of circumstances whose opportuni-
ties have made them translators of
Greek or composers of classical sem
tences. There are men who have
finished the last step in the pur-
suit of school curriculums and who
hold enviable diplomas from high
classed colleges but whose judg-
ment and reasoning upon practical
problems of life and government
are less competent of sound con-
illusions than the crude uncultured
yeoman of good common sense,
whose powers of comprehension,
like the dew of heaven descend
from above according to Natures
laws, and endow, an understanding
with that vigor and stability which
produces wisdom.
The problem now paramount in
the political warfare of this coun-
try is one that will draw it's best So
luton from sound, practical reason
ing on the part of individuals.
There is nothing in it that theman
of ordinary education is not capa-
bic of understanding. And there
is no popularity about it which
makes the judgment of one sensi-
BILE man less apt to be right than
that of another.
In every community there are
men, who are reckoned as finished
scholars and who are successful in
tho pursuits they follow, but who
are, upon the money question, as
dull as the highly tempered axe
that never touched grindstone.
On the other hand we meet every
day, mechanics and farmers whose
knowledge of the principle involv-
ed in the present contest by far ex-
cells that of gentlemen who look
wise but talk otherwise.
These facts point out the unreas-
onableness of employers who seek
to tell their men how to vote.
Every man ought to remember
that it is his duty as we'll as his
right to decide for himself the way
in which his vote is to be cast.
And he may also feel without the
slightest presumption that his
Judgment is just as apt to be right
as is the opinions of the man who
employs him, and his action is far
more certain to be honest than the
purposes of the person or associa-
ton who extraordinarily or implied
tries to coerce him or others.

Monld Approve ofIt.

We suppose, from the reading OF
the editorial in Fridays issue OF
the State Gazette, that in case OF
Bryan and Sewall's election, the
editor would approve of and re.
joice, if the money lenders would
foroclose their mortgages and
crush out the poor people, who are
SO unfortunate as to have mortga'
ge upon their farm or home.
But in all seriousness, whore in
the world do you get your notion OF
authority to talk about n 5O-cent
dollar?
Who is advocating 5O-cent dol.
lar?
The Republicans have caused
all the depreciation in money there
is, if any oxists-not the Demo
Gratis or "Popocrats" as you please
to term them.
If the bullion in the silver dol
lar is only worth so cents, the Re-
publican party by its legislation
made it SO. No other party is to
blame.
Your party perpetrated a crime
upon the people in 1873, and now
you want to perpetuate that crime
in the interest of the British and
the money sharks of the East.
All your great leaders, even to
Mr.. Mckinley himself, have de-
nounced the decentralization ofsil-
yer, and yet you imagine you are
greater and more powerful than
your illustrious leaders.
The policy you advocate will
crush the poor people of this land,
destroy their rights and liberties,
and finally result in the erection of
a moneyed nristocratic govern
ment, upon the ruins of this now
glorious Republic; and you are
trying to scare the people into
helping you and your party to oc-
complish this, under the deceitful
guise of Sound money"
We take it, that the sensible peo-
pie won't scare at your wild and
reckless predictions, nor will they
be driven by such means into vot-
ing for Mckinley, British gold
high tariff, force bills, and all the
other ills that would follow his
election.
The election of Mckinley means
the continuation of hard times

Quite number of our people
have visited the residence of Mr..
White, just across the street from
where the old Virginia House
stood, to see the "spider web, "
which has been creating some lit
tie excitement. The spider is of a
golden color, and some people,
Republicans, of course, claim that
William McKinley's name can be
traced in the web 1t is strange
how some peoples imagination will
cause them to believe almost any
thing. The only immportant il
lustration, says silver man, is
this, which the masses will accept:
The web is made of silver threads,
and has caught the golden spider,
and if McKinlcy's name is woven
in the web, it illustrates how easily
the silver cause will entrap him,
and that VIM. j. Bryan will be our
next President.
When we see a man who has not
had S25 at one time in ten years
who is now opposed to the free
coinage of silver because he is
afraid it will make too much mon
ey in the country, we wonder why
the foolkiller has not been around

Our Republican neighbor de-
lights in comparing wages paid to
Mexican poems with those paid to
American laborers, and apparently
derives much satisfaction from the
contrast. Now, why not continue
the comparison and contrast the
same poems and those paid laborers
in Egypt, where the single gold
standard has obtained from time
immemorial?

The Democratic Advocate of
Canal Dover, Ohio, is more than
lucid when it utters the following:
"What is good for the goose is
good for the gander. If it is law
full and right to repudiate the pur-
chasing power of all property as
compared with gold, as has heen
done, then it must be lawful and
right to ropudiate to a like extent
the purchasing power of gold as
compared with other property, be-
cause it is righting a wrong that
was done.
"The gold dollar is a dishonest
dollar because it has not correctly
recorded value, and it has thus
ground the poor man and the pro-
