UNDULY EXCITED.

Our excited contem porary, the
Journal, is wonderfully worked up
and rs ranting around at a terrible
gate because the old soldiers will
not fall upon their knees to the
Journals candidate for Congress.
Indeed, it has cast aside dscency in
journalism and has gotten down
into the gutter of blackguardism
and hatred. Its appeal to preju-
dice is an admission that it's is a
hopeless case, and it imagines, and
rightly, too, that it cannot success
fully defend It's candidate upon his
record. But it will deceive no one.
The people are asking questions
which the Journal will have to n
swer in a straightforward and
manly way. The people ask if the
Journals candidate is the ardent
and bosom friend Of the old soldier,
why he turned down the old vet
Grams who were applicants for post
masterships at Independence, New.
burg. Fellowsville, Tuunelten,
Rowlesburg, Kins wood and other
towns throughout the county {?
The ARGUS has no fault to find
with the successful applicants, for
they are worthy, no doubt, and
will make excellent postmast ers.
But we do insist that when the
"pie wagon" is making its rounds
that'the old veterans should not be
crowded out until the last "pie"
has disappeared from sight. We
ask the Journal to either deny or
affirm our position. 1t cannot deny
it, unless it admits that its cater
ing to the old veterans is for poll
tics only.
Speak out, Mr.. journal, speak
out. The eyes of the people are
upon you. They want no more
OF your rantlng. They want facts;
t u5born facts.

LOST ar LAST.

The ARGUS, ever in sympathy
with the sore and afflicted, extends
its heartfelt sympathy and condo
lence to it's afflicted contemporary,
the Journal. Why? Because it
has been stripped of its famous
yellow jacket and three eyed pea
cock feather. the emblem Of politi-
cal dictatorship for Preston county
Republicanism. 1t is sad. but true.
The mantle has fallen upon it's
youthful and sprightly brother,
The Preston Republican. The
glory and luster of the journal has
disappeared, while the youth in
knee breaches Is kicking up con.
siderable dust.
We cannot help but shed a silent
tear for the once absolute ID ictator
and quietly pass on.

A REPUBLICAN COMMENT.
What the Only COlOred Editor In the
State Thinks OF Dayton.

State Thinks or Dayton.
The colored editor. of Martins
burg, j. R. Clifford. it seems is not
pleased with the nomination of the
Hon. A. G.. Dayton for Congress.
In a recent issue Of his paper, the
Pioneer Press, he says:
"The Keyser convention that
nominated A. G.. Dayton was in
many respects the noisiest one we
ever attended. While Mr.. DAYTON
was, as is well known, the strongest
man in the race, there is no proof,
nor will there be any, that he is the
strongest man that could have been
placed IN nominatlon-that proof
will be established on the v of
next November's election. Though
MIR. Dayton is not our bean ideal
OF manly men, we know worse ones
and have had dealings with them.
What we most regret is that 30
manly a man, q gentleman 80
scholarly and . Christian so ripe as
the Hon. George @. Sturgiss, should
have gone into the contest TO be so
ungratefulIy slaughtered. 1t looks
ss though there is, in politics, a
winning premium upon blather-
sixties in preference to able men,"

THE LAMB OF SACRIFICE.
Dayton Ante MOrtsn1 Services Held
Here Monday Night.

The Dayton meeting here Mon
day night was the tamest thing we
have witnessed for a long time.
Mary's lamb has always been pro-.
verbal for It's tameness. but the
lambkin is now forgotten and we
have another one marked for sacri-
fee. Posters had been sent out
and hand bills scattered over town
announcing the coming of ''the
conquering hero" but there was no
stampede pcrceptible to the naked
eve. The Court House ell was
rung four or five times, and yet
only a small part of the populace
took heed. The crowd was mostly
made mp by ladies and children. as
there were not over sixty voters
present, including about a dozen
cussous Democrats.
Col. jim Flynn. Chairman OF the
Dayton ''Jim Commlttee," had
trouble to get anyone to introduce
the sp~eaker-Senator Worloy de
clined and N. j. Fortney finally
consented. Mr. Dayton was badly
depressed and made O very weak
effort, and the whole affair was
such a poor showing chat it was
enough to tame anyone. The
speaker secured but two feeble at
tempss ut applause. and most of
his address was confined to abuse
Of McGraw and the beauties of Pro
lection for the American farmer.
Tie failed to credit Providence or
Joe Letter with the high price of
wheat last year, but wanted it all
credited to the Mckinley Admins
tration. Said nothing about the
low price OF it now, but tried hard
to make the audience believe that
the whole country was flooded with
prosperity, and that the farmers IN
the west had SO much money they
were compelling the banks to take
1T at the point of the pistol.
We are surprised indeed that any
sensible audience will listen to such
rot and not be thoroughly disgusted
with it. He accused McGraw, his
opponent, of lying and dishonesty,
and made fun of his Irish ancestry.
Said his people were good Ameri-
a citizens long before McGraw's
people had learned to talk the
English language. He took up the
Wheeling Register containing Nc
Graw's speech. made down at Key.
ser last Saturday, and tried to re-
ply to some of the points In it, but
never said a word about that letter
of his addressed to the postmaster
OF this district, appealing for their
active support in his hour of need
and asking for them to hustle
around and make up for the votes
he would lose through their APP
pointment. HIS whole air and de.
meanor is that Of a MAJ who sees
the hand writing on the wall and
realizes that he is leading a forlorn
hope.
The conspicuous absence Of the
Republican leaders Of the town was
very noticeable. Ex- Sheriff Shaw,
Col. Bill Haney, Francis Heermans,
W. f. Menear, j.. Ami Martin, j.
O. McGrew and Others around
town, who stood outside or loafed
around the stores or remained at
home. There was no band, no
flowers, no Methodist choir-not a
whoop went up, not a drum heard,
only q funeral note, but slowly and
sadly they laid him low.
The next day q small band OF
the faithful, headed by Clark Gid
ley, accompanied Dayton to Tun.
Melton, where the funeral services
were repeated that night At the
Hall there.
