ton to withhold from the roll SUM
cient number OF regularly elected
Democrats on contest" proceedings
to permit the Republicans to organize
the House would involve much more
fragrant violation of law since it is
proposed to withhold members who
have already received their certificates
of election from the proper authorities.
The prescribed duty of the Secretary
of State in this matter is purely cler-
ical, he having no official knowledge
gality or illegality of the elections of
members as certified to him by the
proper county authorities.
AS the Republican Governor of
Pennsylvania, according to the ruling
of the Republican attorney general of
that State, has no right to refuse to
issue a certificate of election to a
Democrat duly certified to him as
elected, how much less right, there
fore, has the Republican Secretary of
State of West Virginia to refuse to do
his merely clerical duty in placing
upon the roll of the Legislature Demo-
Gratis duly certified to him as elected!
Secretary of State Dawson would
out-Quay Quay.
We shall see if he shall dare b
guilty of attempting this lawless and
thing whether the Gov
ernor shall supply him with troops to
carry out his purpose or not.

THE SUGGESTION MEETINGS TO-

The Democrats of Wheeling will hold
suggestion meetings this evening to
suggest names to be voted for at the
primaries to be held a week later when
city ticket will be nominated.
We need not dilate upon the import
Ance of the suggestion meetings which
will furnish the primary material of
which the city ticket will be made; it is
the foundation of the primaries and
the election. and as such is specially
important
1t is every citizens duty to his city
to attend the meetings and participate
in the suggestions, doing his best to-
ward selecting good, strong material
\ for Hieket The prime import
ee of the work is manifest. The
people Pf Wheeling are sick of ring
rule and the opportunity is here pre-
sented to put up good men for office
who will devote their best endeavors
to furthering the interests of the city
and it's people rather than those of
political machine for Dlundering the
taxpayers 1t is idle to attempt to do
this work of reform through other than
the regular Democratic channels. An
Independent ticket would be a mere
useless division of forces and would
but insure the success of the well in
trenched bosses.
Let all good citizens who desire a
change from the present men and
methods governing the city, and who
place the city before party unite this
evening in suggesting good men for
Council and other city Offices on the
Democratic ticket
That is the only way to beat the ring
