McKINLEY'S POPULARITY.

~ MID all the damaging reports and rumors that

ofhcial who has had much to do with the con
duct OF the it is notable that not even partisan
antagonists has given rise to single charge against
the President or single attack upon either his SER
wees or his character. 1t may be said of him .he
has won golden opinions from all sorts of. people"
HIS popularity is almost without parallel in the
records of our Government -.
A striking illustration of the high esteem in which
he is held even by his political opponents was re-
Gently given in tribute paid to him by Senator Nc
Eaurlll OF South Carolina, who, in commenting upon
the policy of the President in declining to accom-
+Pany the declaration of war with recognition of
Cuban independence said.
The President has shown wonderful Judgment in
dealing with the war problem l voted for the recog-
milton OF Cuban independence, but free to admit
made great mistake. The President was right in
refusing to recognize the insurgents They have
demonstrated to all reasonable men that they are
nathng short of a band of cowardly robbers without
an organized form of government or an army
Warming to his theme the South Carolina Senator
went on to point out what the President has done
to eliminate the last vesges of sectional feeling be-
tween North and South The President, he said.

rates here and in Europe. The freight
rates for England seem very high, but as
they include cost of loading and unload

the object of gaining time in the race against two

Col. schley Supports Democrats.

When Hon. John T. McGraw was
in Shepherdstown last week he was
called upon by Col. Towner Schley, Of
this place, the two having been warm
friends in years gone by, when the
latter was a deputy United States
marshal. Col. Schley, who has been
lifelong Republican, and whose
father, the late Col. John E. Schley,
was one of the founders Of the Repub-
lican party in West Virginia, assured
Mr.. McGraw that he intended to vote
for him at the approaching election
not only on account Of their personal
friendship, but because he desired to
cast his ballot for a man whom he
knew would represent the best inter-
ests of the district. 1t is needless to
remark that Mr.. McGraw was highly
gratifed at this evidence of friend
ship, and with the further fact that
he will have the influence as well as
the vote of the gentleman named.
Col. Schley has also announced his IN
tention of supporting our Democratic
candidates for the Legislature, as he
hopes to see Senator Faulkner elected
to succeed himselfin the United States
Senate. He bears testimony to the
fact that no one could be more at
tentiye to the needs of his constituents
than Senator Faulkner, who repre-
sents his State with so much ability.
Col. Schley is cousin Of Commodore
Winfield Scott Schley, the hero OF
Santiago.
