Opinion of an Eminent Jurist.

Ballot reform in New York was neces-
sary, says an eminent jurist, because
mere politicians by trade, who had no
interest in government or politics eX-
cept to enrich and aggrandize them
selves, sought perpetual control. There
are other excellent reforms besides that
of the ballot. Conspicuous among them
is the reform in diSordered physical
system by Hostetter's Stomach BitlerS,
which counteracts tendencies to serious
disease bred by deficiency of vital
stamina, irregularity of the bowels,
stomach, liver or kidneys, and inquietude
of the nerves. This sterling medicine,
which has for near half a century won
popular favor, not only for its excellent
qualities in remedial capacity, but also
for its serviceable properties as a medi-
Clnal stimulant.

HON. JOHN T. McGRAW.

Hon. John T. McGraw, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress from this
district, opened his campaign in JEFF
ferson county yesterday afternoon by
making his first speech in Shepherds
town. Although the day was very
Indictment one, a large crowd gathered
in the town hall to hear Mr.. McGraw.
The Shepherdstown Band escorted the
speaker from the Entler Hotel to the
hall, where he was introduced to the
audience by Mr.. VIM. j. Knott, Jr.
Mr.. McGraw made forcible, logical
speech on the issues of the present
campaign. He devoted himself par
ticularly to exposing the broken prom
ises and unkept pledges Of the Rerub-
lican party, both as to its financial
policy and its tariff legislation. He
showed the inconsistencies Of the ad-
ministration in its monetary methods,
and told how the Dingley bill and TIE
war revenue measures put the burdens
on one class while relieving others OF
their Just share Of Taxation. He called
attention also to Mr.. Daytons votes
on various bills favoring corporations
and against the people. Mr.. McGraw
held the closest attention Of his large
audience, and there was general re-
greet when he closed.
He went from Shepherdstown to
Duffields, where be addressed the vo-
tiers at night, and will spend this week
speaking at various points in Jefferson
county. Mr.. McGraw is making an
aggressive campaign, and he will leave
no stone unturned in his fight for the
honor of representing this district in
Congress. He expresses his entire
confidence in his election, and says he
will defeat Mr.. Dayton by safe ma
jority.

THE editor of the Martinsburg Her.
aid is into the campaign up to his
neck, and he is prepared to save the
country if he dies in the attempt. He
printed a paralyzer against Col. Nc
Graw in his paper last week, and re-
vealed story that was simply going
to kill the Democratic candidate at
one full blow. This yarn is one of the
old-style campaign lies. 1t is to the
effect that Col. McGraw four years ago
instructed man in Barbour county
to buy wool at high price in pur-
suance of campaign plan, and then
refused to pay the man the amount of
loss he sustained. We have the as
surance of Col. McGraw that the Her.
aid simply lies. He never gave the
man such instructions, nor does he
have a personal acquaintance with
him. The entire amount involved is
twelve dollars, and Col. McGraw is no
more obligated to pay it than he is to
pay the Cuban debt. The fellow who
is suffering himself to be used by the
Republicans as basis for this lie is a
disappointed ofice-seeker, and if he
were man of the right sort he had
ample opportunity to prove it a few
days ago-which he didn't.
The Herald editor is making the
mistake of his life in so grossly abus-
ing Nj. McGraw's personal character.
He is not helping Mr.. Dayton any,
and he is laying up against himself
an account that he will have to pay to
the uttermost farthering. In no pa
per in the State have we seen such
low campaigning as in the Martins
burg Herald. 1t is getting desperate
because it is becoming hopeless.

ONE Of the most unique and strong
est campaign speeches we have ever
heard was made in front of the court
house Saturday by a man whom we
understand to be W. S. Powers, Re-
publican from the State of Missouri.
He gave striking illustrations of the
fearful decline in values in real estate
and grain products under the era of
promised Republican prosperity, and
showed conclusively why the working
man should abandon that party and
vote where all his best interests lie
with the Democratic party. We wish
all our laboring men could have heard
his most logical talk.-Chartestoon

RANDOM NOTES.

If the word of a Republican poll
tician is of any account, the Hon. A.
G. Dayton will be at least one vote
short in Jefferson county at the APP
preaching election. One day last
week Mr.. William Campbell, the Dem
ocratic candidate for the State Senate
and member of the Congressional ex-
ecutive committee, was in Shepherds
town on business, political and other
wise. The REGISTER had just finished
a lot of printing to be used at the
Sunday School convention in Charles
town, and Mr.. Campbell obGgingly
agreed to take it over to Charlestown
to Secretary Shipman. We made it
up into neat little package and left
it at the Entler Hotel for him. Later
in the day Mr.. Campbell met there
Mr.. ]. G. Tabler, well-known Re-
publican politician. Said Tabler:
What have you got in your package,
Mr.. Campbell-Democratic itera-
ture ?" mo" replied Campbell, " sit
is Sunday school tracts" The idea
of Democratic candidate carrying
Sunday school papers around with
him seemed to be awfully funny to
Mr.. Tabler, and he was not at all
backward in expressing his doubts
concerning the truthfulness Of Mr..
Campbell's statement. Finally Camp
bell said: "Well, Tabler, l will make
an agreement with you. If this pack
age doesn't contain Sunday school lit
erature l will give you my word that
l will vote for Dayton for Congress.
If it does have in it what | said it
had, then you will vote for McGraw.
Done" said Tabler, who didn't pro-
pose to be blufed in that sort Of style.
Sergeant Dunn, kindly unite the
package" said Mr.. Campbell; where
upon Mr.. Dunn took off the wrappers
and showed the programmes of the
Sunday school convention and copies
of letter from a missionary in China.
1t is needless to remark that the
laugh was on Tabler, and if he keeps
his agreement Mr., McGraw will get
vote that has perhaps never before
been cast for a Democrat.

THERE is serious dispute between
France and England over the control

land seems determined to maintain the
position she has taken, while France
is unwilling to back down and be
Inundated in the eyes of the world.
England is actively engaged in put
ting her navy in fighting shape to be
prepared for emergencies, but as that
navy is powerful enough to bring
France to terms in very brief time,
there is little likelihood Of war being
declared.
