Real War Eepun.

The news that the American troops
have all been landed safely on Cuban
coil, and that activities have actually
begun with encouragement for the
: American side will relieve the tension
of the past few days concerning the war
situation. The presence OF force OF five
thousand insurgent troops and thevalu-
able aid they are rendering our forces,
is. q further cause for congratula.ion.
Va The combined forcesw!ll constitute an
army OF over twenty thousand men
against the Spanish garrison, which will
be augmented by relnforcements OF vol
unteers and regulars as soon as they can
be transported. The war is on in earn
est on Cuban soil, and the events OF the
next few. days will be OF an exciting
character. News Of the grayest i'm
portance may beexpected hourly.
There is nothing in the situation, nor
nSthe events OF yesterday TO cause APP
prehension in the United States. Uncle
Sans troops will accomplish their mis-
sion without delay. The dispatches tell
the story Of how they have already be-
gun.
The reports OF the, engagements at
Balquiri and Barraco, from Spanish
sources, are undoubtedly exaggerated,
The fighting was expected by our gov
.ernrnpnt. and official accounts of the
result are expected to discount the
highly lurid reports from Madrid. The
assaults on the enemy's positions have
only begun.

Third District Republicans.

The first OF the West Virginia con-
gress!onal district conventions OF the
year, held in Charleston Wednesday, as
already published, nominated unani-
mously Hon. William Seymour Edwards
as the standardIbearer. Mr.. R,rr, the
present incumbent, not being q candl-
date. and Mr.. Floyd withdrawing and
presenting the name ut Mr.. Edwards
solved a problem. Mr.. Edwards is an
aggressive campalsner. and going into
the contest with the prestige OF having
been nominated by reclamation, there Is
every assurance that he will be elected.
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vcntion gave no uncertain sound as to
where the Third district Republicans
stand with reference to che. domestic
and foreign issues OF the day. There is
no step backward, and the endorsement
OF the national and state administra-
lions in their conduct Of the public bust
ness was an indication OF the unity
which prevails upon these questions.
There have been factions In the Third
district growing out of local compllca-
lions, but there seemed to be deter
minatlon on the part Of the party not
to let any such differences interfere
with party success this year, when It
behooyes every Republican to realize
that, at such q time, the necessity for
the support Of the administra ton is OF
the greatest Importance; when per-
sonal feelings should be laid aside and
the man at the wheel of the ship of
state In vital crisis OF foreign war
should receive the support OF the coun-
try.
The 1ntelligencer is confident that this
sentiment will rule In all West Virginia
conventions. and among Republicans at
the polls. This Is no time for family
troubles The crisis that the government
is meeting, the complex questions to be
settled at the end OF the war, the gov
eminent credit, all these things are to
be met No local or personal differences
should enter into such a campaign.
Whoever the standard-bearers may. be,
It should not be forgotten what they
represent, and they should receive the
full support Of all. Oregon has led off
on this line. West Virginia will Join
her sister states In following.
Mr.. Edwards will be the next con-
gresham from the Third district; the
nominees OF the conventions yet to be
held will undoubtedly receive THE same
united support OF all citizens. who real
lie the importance Of an endorsement
OF the administration whose policy In
great undertaking Is being indicated
by daily events.

The Fallen Democratic Leader.

Amidst the interest which is being ia.
ken IN the news from the war come
the mutterlnEs of another outbreak
which bids fair to share public atten-
ton for weeks to come. The climax Of
a crisis which confronts the Democracy
In Congress is, likely to arrive next Mon
day, when the postponed Democratic
caucus will be held for the formulation
of future policies with reference to i'm
portant national questions. The sltua-
ton at present. growing out Of the igno-
BILE failure OF Leader Bailey to apply
the whip to the Democratic members
at last Mondays caucus. Is that Bailey
Is now fallen hero, and that matters
are severely strained. Storms are pre-
dicted for next Monday evening. II the
caucus Is held, and the Bryan and Bailey
forces are preparing for them.
Bailey has been the cause of the hope
less situation that the Democrats OF
Congress md themselves In. Bailey
rose very rapidly as the recognized lead
er on the floor, He ill So by his own
force OF character and his ability as u
debater. Matters ran smoothly with
him until he made n mistake. That
mistake. has destroyed him as leader,
and. according to Washington dis
patches, has "annihIlated his party as
q cohesive and powerful minority" At
the very moment when he might have
made good use Of his opportunity, and
when he was at his height rs the chosen
leader OF the Democratic side, he made
the mistake OF thinking that in time OF
war, when, conditions arc so dissmi-
lar from times Of peace. and ordinary
party Issues are not wholly Mt stake,
1t Is good politics TO oppose the admin
Istration OF the opposing party, which
Is doing what 1. thinks Is wiscst and
best for the successful prosecution Of
the war. merely for the sake OF oppos-
Ing, and nothing more" This Is scrI-
Gus mistake which other leaders arc,
making also. as we'll as certain par
tisan organs.
+ AWashington special In the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, nptly points out that
instead of recognizing that tho best
leadership at this time Is to endorse
every act of the administration, which
was plainly necessary for the most dras-
tic attack on Spain, BAILEY haggled
over every little detail of the bill pro-
vldlng war revenues" He opposed the
suffrage Of soldiers In the field. and at
tempted 10 cocrce all Democrats in Con-
gross To accept his views on tho Ha-
waiIan matter, knowing TINT, It being
a war measure, Democrats, r rs well US
Republicans. we're divided upon It. He
capped the climax by offering a rcso-
