Democratic Logic.
state Journal.

Slale JOuIbdls
The Wheeling Register sagely ar
CUES that there is no analogy between
the cases Of Fighting Joe Wheeler and
Senators Pierson and Getzendanner
because Wheeler's seat in Congress is
not contested, and therefore his right
to it is unquestioned. In other words,
the astute philosopher on the Regis
ter holds that the right OF Senators
Getzendanner and Pierson to their
seats in the State Senate is involved
and in question simply because the
Democratic leaders in West Virginia
happen to need those two seats in
their business of making U. S. Sen.
ator out of Johnny McGraw. They
are contesting for those two seats
therefore the legality of Messrs Pier
son and Getzendanner' tenure of Of
fee is attacked. Such reasoning would
make donkey smile.

In the eyes of the Wheeling Regis
ter Republican is liar, thief and
a scoundrel and has no sense at all

Yesterday morning when the nine
O'Clock trip of the Pilgrim of the Casoo
Bay line was made, one of the passengers
tried to commit suicide. The man went

possible and then sprang into the harbor
AS soon as possible the steamer was
stopped and boat put out to the rescue.
The man was found floating, face down
ward, and beside him was razor, blood
stained. 1t seems that he cut his throat
before he sprang overheard, for little
splash of blood was found on the deck,
and. when he jumped he held onto the
razor. The cut was quite bad one, but
no fatal injuries it is thought, we're in
fiicted He was brought to the city,
wrapped in blankets, for he was SILVER
ing like an aspen leaf, and taken to the
Maine General hospital in Rich's ambu-
