LILLIAN LEWIS YET ALIVE.
Spanish Assassins Apparently Tire of

Chicago. Jan. 14-No attempt was
made on the life of Actress Lillian Lew

Never was Spanish oppression felt
more keenly. even on the bleeding is

Never did the minions of Butcher Wey-

Lillian Lewis, the star of For Love of

every night and two matinees a week,
and SpaniardS shoot at her through
dressing room windows and camp on
the fire escape two floors above her

Monday night an attempt" was
made to steal Miss Lewis truly Won

Tuesday night a mad spaniard at

When asked how much she paid "Car-

ask my maid or any other member Of
my company about it, they will tell
you the same" AS no one could doubt

PRIVATE NEGOTIATIONS.
Auditor Morris Not Pleased With
Democratic Methods.

Capt. W. H. Morris, state auditor. is
not averse to extending recognition to
the Democrats in the coming state
campaign, but he wants that party to
give the holder of the office they decide
to pre-empt, an opportunity to retire
gracefully and quietly and not suffer
the humiliation of being dethroned, as
it were.
My idea" said Mr. Morris, would
be that when the Democrats decide
what offices they will ask the POpulists
to give them, which 1 believe should be
done quietly, then they should call on
that particular officer and explain the
circumstances and outline the policy
which had resulted in the decision to
ask for that office.
Then I believe there is not an Of
ficer in the state house who would de-
cline to step down in the interests Of
harmony But, if these public demands
be made, and the preliminary campaign
be conducted through the public chan
nels, 1 fear that none will consent to
being summarily pushed off the tick

ll."-Star. ;s-.a..
Certainly, that is just exactly
what the Review stated. When
you and your gang, including
Hughes, could not run the conven
ton. you bolted it, came to Sisters
vile and vowed by all that was
good and holy you would not sup
port Dovenor and the facts are you
have not supported him and its
doubtful if you do. We call this
boiling convention. The Star
says though in excuse for this &C
ton of Hughes, that he, Hughes,
never bolted republican principle.
Well, if its not a principle of the
republican party to let the
majority rule, then we confess
we do not know anything
about republicanism. Hughes as a
delegate ought to have stuck to the
convention and abided by its action.
But he bolted it and now asks re-
publicans TO support him and not
bolt his nomination. He reserves
the right to bolt, but when it comes
home to him he is opposed to such
actions.
We are asked to support Hughes
to keep harmony in the party. 1t
is poor way to keep harmony in
any party by supporting a man
who, when he has the opportunity,
and can not boss things to suit him
self, bolts the party.
We are told that Hughes is for
Sistersville. In reply TO this all we
have to say is that he was our rep
resentative two years ago. He was
then asked to have our charter
passed and he obeyed the will of a
few people residing at the county
seat. These are hard facts. All
the lying and whipping in that can
be done will not change these hard
facts. Hughes was tried and was
found wa nting. He is just the
same Hughes. today he was two
years ago. He Is simply the creature
of Hardman' and his followers.
The last thing on earth that he
would co would be to vote for a
charter or anything else thatwould
benefit Sistersvi1le. He knows this
and the Star knows it, and if the
Star did not know beyond all pos
sible doubt that Hughes was op;;
posed to Sistersvi1le, it would not
support him i'm It is because HsR5 HIu1ghfTs
is against our city that the Star
does urge Hughes election. and if
he was really fair and honest as "a
representative and would treat US
equallwith MiddIebourhhe, the Star
would not support Hughes. Down

vile, but to the entire county as
we'll, if just such men are turned
down at the coming election.
The duty Of the democrats at the
convention to be held Saturday is
very plain: Nominate men who
will do something for the in erests
of the people at large in the county
and people, who, if elected, will not
cater to and jump at the beck and
nod of the clique crowd of ring
sters.
It is a moral certainty that If
Hughes is elected, Sistersville, and
as far as that is concerned, Lincoln
district may as we'll be buried dur
ing the next two years. He will do
Just as he did two years ago and
just as his predecessor, Pyle, did
when he was in office: Oppose
anything that is brought up which
would in any way be to the interest
of Sistersville. The Review stated
some time ago that if the repub-
licans would put up man who
would do at least something for the
city, it would support him but they
did not do so and it cannot con-
scientiously support man whom
it is positive will be against the
best interests of the town.
. In the case of the county COM
missioner, it is just as certain that
Weekly is against the town and
with the ring, and we will have
none of him. If the democrats will
put up good man for each OF the
Offices mentioned, it is believed they
will have a fighting chance to win
out, and the Review will help that
fighting chance along as much as it
possibly can, and that will be not
little. The names of some good
and popular men have been men
toned for the two most important
offices to be filled this year, and
every democrat who attends the
convention on Saturday should ap-
point himself committee of one to
see that only the strongest ones are
selected to carry the democratic
standard during the coming cam
paign. This is the last hope and
the last chance to down the ring
which has been running things, po-
litically. and othe rwise, in this
county for a number of years. t.
