MAJOR MCKINLEY is going up like
a rocket-but remember the stick !
--~-~---~---~-------~
THE Republican presidential con-
vention will straddle the silver ques-
ton.
So far as the silver question Is con-
cerned, mum the word with Mr.. Nc
Kinley -
IT will be observed thas few of the
really big men in the Republican par
ty are for Mckinley.
THE State League of Republican
Clubs met at Charleston yesterday,
They carried the State, as they always
DO before election.
THE West Virginia delegates to the
national Democratic convention at
Chicago will have spacious quarters at
the Palmer House, which have already
been secured by Col. John Sheridan
THE Cuban resolutions have been
sent back TO the Senate committee for
repairs. The lingo Congressmen have
discovered that the American people
haven't reached the fighting point
vet. --...-------
ARRANGEMENTS have been made for
Joint discussions on the currency qUes-
ton bv Secretary Hoke Smith and ex-
Speaker Crisp at several points IN
Georgia Two good men--they ought
to draw we'll
CONGRESSMAN DAYTON advises West
Virginia Republicans not to commit
themselves 10 any presidential candi-
date lust yet. He is wise in his day
and generation. a half dozen dele
gates may be worth a good deal in the
convention at certain stages.

THERE is no truth in the report that
General Presley Morris has gone to
Cuba. He Is in favor, however, Of
calling an extra session of the Legisla-
ture to recognize the Cubans as belllg-
erents, and may send an expedition
armed with cuspidores to assist the
patriots.
A CURRENT newspaper rumor says
that President Cleveland will shortly
issue a statement announcing that he
will positively not be a candidate for
the presidency again and it is also
said that Secretary of the Treasury
Carlisle will thereupon formally an
nounce his own candidacy.

As may be seen by announcements
another column, Mr.. John P. Kearfott
is a candidate for the Legislature from
this district. Mr.. Kearfott is one OF
the solid, substantial men OF this
county. and he may be depended upon
to serve the people faithfully in what
ever position he may be placed.
THE House of Representatives last
Friday passed resolution censuring
Ambassador Thomas F Bayard for
political utterances during the cam
paign two years ago. We would adj
wise Mr.. Bayard not to worry over the
censure of our modern politicians, how
ever. Most of those who expressed
sham offense at his remarks have them,
selves said enough to hang them.
SENATOR JOE BLACKBURN has been
of small credit to Kentucky and less
use to his country during the past SIX
or eight years. But because he Is
silver-plated specimen the Charlestowr
Adrocote thinks he is paragon Of al
the virtues. The Adrocote has jus
one idea, and it harps on the one lone
string all the time. We confess thai
il amuses-when it doesn t bore.
Mr.. R. W. MoRRow, the editor o
the Charlestown Adrocate, isannounceC
as a candidate for the Legislature from
this county. Now if friend Morrow
will show some liberation Of persons
who do not think as he thinks, we vii
give him consideration. Seriously
Mr.. Morrow has many qualification
that would make him an able repre-
sentative, and we wish him success.
