PENSIONS AND PENSIONERS.

Among other matters upon which
our friends, the enemy, have been as
siduously laboring is the false claim
that the Democratic party is the friend
of the "old soldier" The claim is
made that more pensions were issued
during the two administrations OF
Cleveland than during any other like
period since the war.
The passage. of the Dependent Pen,
sion Law in 1890 had the effect to very
largely increase the number of appli-
cations, many of which could not pos
sibly be acted upon during the re-
naming two years Of the Harrison
Administration, and the result was
an immense accumulation of claims
when Cleveland's second term began.
But with this advantage we find that
the charge made is not true.
From a recent report of the Com
missioner of Pensions, we CLEAN the
following facts and statistics, giving
the number of pensioners, applications
flied and claims allowed each year
from 1855 to 1905, as follows;

What Does This rlean?

Senator Faulkner goes away from
home to speak, at Parkersbufg and
Shepherdstown. Why not at Mar
tinsburg? Democrats, answer. He
knows there is large anti-Faulkner
feeling here-Democrats who will not
vote for him, nor any candidate who
is for him. The Cushwas have always
been loyal Faulkner men. Harry
Cushwa, the Democratic nominee for
the Legislature, Is openly for him,
and brags of it. Democrats who OPP
pose the Senator can we'll see why he
does not speak here at home. He
fears this element OF his party may
cut Cushwa. Well, Cushwa wears
Faulkner's collar, all the same.

SPAIN HOPES FOR DEMOCRATIC
SUCCESS.

There is no question as to the att
tude of Spain in the political contest
now waging in this country. She
knows full we'll what to expect from
President Mckinley, backed by Re-
publican Congress. She also knows
what Democratic administration did
in the case of Paramount Commission
er Blount in Hawaii. She is fully
posted on all that has been published
in yellow journals about our soldiers
being anxious to get home, about
many of them beiug tired of army
lite.
The Washington Star, in recent
issue sums up the situation. Read
what the Star says and then decide
whether il is the part Of a true Amer
lean to vote to aid Spain or to support
President Mckinley:
Spain has undoubtedly entered the
campaign against an Endorsement OF
the administration next month, Ev-
cry reliable report that comes from
Paris shows that the Spanish policy
of 'manana has reference solely
to the Congressional elections in the
United States. The Spanish peace
commissioners have in some way be-
come impressed with the idea that a
majority adverse to the President will
mean a revision Of the whole Ameri'
can program in Spain favor. Hence
their parleyings, their requests for de-
laws. their references Of every point
to Madrid to help along delays, and
all that. They are looking forward
as anxiously to the 8th of November
as any American citizen.
There are no details, But can it
be that the Spaniards are building up
on a hope of return of Porto Rico,
Guam and Manila to Spain2 Is II
their belief that Republican defeat,
if accomplished, will mean an aban-
donment by the United States OF the
whole policy of expansion? Do they
see the United States forced back by
public sentiment to the original prop
osition about Cuba2 Do they estimate
that by good management they may
restrict the American triumph to the
freedom Of Cuba alone, and qualify
even that with terms advantageous
to Spain about the so.called Cuban
debit"

A WORD IN CLOSING.

With this issue the labors of the
Herald in the present campaign ends.
We have performed our part as best
we could. So momentous are the is
sues that in our zeal for the right, as
we see the right, we may have over
stepped the bounds of propriety. II
so, we crave pardon.
In this county the campaign has
been peculiar. Personal abuse of the
editor of the Herald and an attempt
to besmirch and traduce the officials
of the county has been the sole aim
and object OF the opposition. Every
point investigated has clearly shown
the untruthfulness of the accusations
and the fidelity with which the affairs
of the county have been administered
by Democrats and Republicans.
We would like to tell Of the glories
of the administration of President
Mckinley, Of the lators of Mr. Day
ton for his constituents, of his self
sacrificing devotion to duty, of the
splendid position he occupies in the
councils OF the Nation. We would
like to show the importance of send,
ing a solid delegation from this sena-
torial and delegate district Were it
necessary we would like to tell of the
advantages that will accrue to the
county by sending our brilliant young
statesman, L. S. G., Pitzer to the
1 Legislature, and will send him. We
would like to extoi the other candi.

Just how the editor of the Herald
can be both Annanias and Sapphire,
as stated by Boyer, is pulling the
psychologists of this city. They
came to their death by not telling all
of the truth. A few days ago, while
searching the county records for al
legged Republican misdoings, Truth
full" William found and admitted the
fact to Deputy Clerk Keesecker that
during certain years less money had
been expended by Republicans for
county affairs than had been spent by
the Democrats for certain other years.
When asked if he would publish all
that he had discovered, he promptly
said he would not and he did not.
The canting hypocrite that he is ac-
cuses us of lying, of being unfair,
when by his own confession he is a
wilful and malicious falsifer.

"BossEsn AND "BossIsr1."

When Democrats have no other
stock in trade-no issue upon which
to 90 before the people-the cry Of
"bosses, "bossism" and "ring rule"
becomes the slogan. In Berkeley
county there was determined effort
to blind the people to their true inter
ests by organizing campaign OF
SANDER and villihcation The plat
form adopted at their county couven-
ton was hotch- potch of accusations
without any foundation in fact Every
charge has been met and shown that
they exist only in the imagination OF
the individual who formulated them.
BY his own confession, c. w. Boyer
was their author. He is indeed a
| pretty specimen to make such charges.
There have been two Democratic adj
ministrations since the war and he
was amply provided for during both.
The trouble with him now is that he
is out in the cold. During the last
administration he found snug berth
in the post office to the exclusion OF
! lifelong Democrats, and then betray-
ed Senator Faulkner and Grover Cleve-
land, the men who made him what
he is. Like McGraw he went to the
Davis convention an avowed gold
bug, but he did not flop so quick as
McGraw. For a week or so he sulked
and then for fear he would lose caste
with the party he became outwardly a
silverite, but at heart he has always
been and is now gold bug of the
yellowest hue. By this method he
succeeded in securing a supply of
"fodder" and has been continually
laughing in his sleeve at the other
fellows, clubbing them fodder grind
ers.
In this campaign another Rich
mond has SHE'D his castor into the
ring as a candidate for postmaster in
case, there should ever be another
Democratic administration. We refer
to Mr. P. r. Harrison who will learn
to his sorrow that he is no match for
such snake in the grass as Boyer
who will sting him in the dark as he
has stung others.
A boss of dusky hue appears upon
the scene. Mr.. Lewis Bell, Dear
Lewis" as they are wont to term
him. Almost any hour of the day he
and Boyer may be seen hobnobbing
together The only instance of mig
ger equality" for some time past was
day or so ago when Boyer walked
up to Bell, pushed the lapel OF his
coat aside, took cigar from Bell S
vest pocket and proceeded to inhale
the fragrance of an "Africano Dilec-
to" But there is no niger equal
ity'' in that Why Lewis is general
dispenser of McGraw's Doodle, and the
immaculate William was just helping
himself
Those other old.time workers, J.
w. Dodd, "Reddy" O'Connell and
Andy Criswell do not appear to be in
it this time Boyer, Bell Co. are do
ing the hustling. Truly the Democ-
racy of Berkeley are in delectable
hands.

Dear Sir: l am reliably informed
that you have been exertiug influence
in the line of your duty against me in
my candidacy for Congress; that you
have been assidiously going out of
your way while in the employ of this
company to exert such personal in
fluence as you may possess with the
men in the employ OF the company
against me and in support of the op
posite candidate for Congress. have
no objection to man exercising his
individual right to oppose me for any
cause that satisfied him personally;
but do object to you using your po-
sition in doing this on the time of the
company when you have not been
employed for this purpose. Thought
the right and manly thing to do was
to advise you of this fact that l have
information of what you have been
doing, and if hear of any further eff
fort upon your part l shall take the
matter up with the proper authorities
at Baltimore, where know it will be
remedied do not care to cause you
any trouble and feel that the right
thing to do is to advise you of what
know before appealing to other people
to make the personal charge against
you. I think as an honorable man
you will appreciate the manly posi-
ton | have taken in connection with
this matter, rather than to make a
personal complaint against you else
where, which might cause you some
embarrassment. Yours truly,
JNO. 7. MCGRAW.

dares to assert such right if it be ex-
ercised against him, with dismissal
from the service of the company.
Eye Gods. The spectacle OF John
T. McGraw attempting to hold up
like highwayman every honest la
borer and compel him to march up to
the polls and vote for him or lose
his job. ="
The laboring men of the Second
District, know too we'll their privi-
leges as American citizens to be thus
intimidated by such despicable re-

.m 188s to I8o8. AS folloWs:
Dnring Cleveland's first tenn, I8s

During Cleveland's first term, 1885
-S8, there were $500 applications
and 1872, o7o claims allowed; during
his second term, I893-I896, there
were 23o,3I8 applications and $40, 274
allowances, making total of 432, 344
claims allowed during his EIGHT
years.
During Harrison's Administration,
$4,000, there were 74S,325 applica-
tions and 10000 claims allowed,
more than the entire eight years OF
Democratic rule; and during 1897 and
1898, the first two years of the Nc
Kinley Administration, there were
1871 applications and Io2, 749 claims
allowed, making a total of COL, $40
during SIX years of Republican rule.
The average allowances per year
under Democratic rule was 54,o43;
under Republican rule, 100, 40, which
settles, once and for all time the ques-
ton as to which party is the friend OF
the "old soldier.
Let us now add to the Republican
total for six years the allowances for
the years 1888 and 1884, 72,35+, and
we have for EIGHT years under Re
publican administrations the splen-
did total OF 674,I94 allowances, an
excess Of US, Io3 over EIGHT years
of Democratic administration.
Another point: 1t will be observed
that during the past two years there
were but 1857 applications and Io2, ?
74o allowances, showing that the
business of the office is being expedi-
ted, Is. 37S old cases having been dis
posed Of in addition to current bust
ness.
There are now but about $4,000
original claims pending and at the
present rate the Office will soon be up
with its business. About 1885, 900
applications for increase are on file
and they are being rapidly adjusted.
Never before was the pension bust
ness so well in hand and never before
was there such an opportunity for the
prompt adjudication of meritorious
claim. In this particular as in others
the Democratic pretense is not well
founded.
