The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1898-09-23

The Democratic convention
certainly left some beautiful
problems for their candidates in
this county to solve Few men
in the ranks of those who upheld
Democratic principles in Harri.
son county have reflected more
credit upon The party organiza
ton than Hon. M. M. Thompson.
Without being in any sense a
candidate for the place, the COM
mittee on pernanentorg
selected him for the chairman
ship. The little coterie of bosses
who run the Democratic ma.
chine got to hear oft and they
almost had a duck ht." They
swept down upon the committee
like cyclone and demanded that
Thompson be taken down-he
was poison-represented the Tom
Jefferson idea of sound money
'twould never do-U-g-h all
p-f-e-w-take him off. So they
took Mr.. Thompson'sname down
and substituted Ellis Lyon.
That satisfied Tom Hornor. and
the rest of them took their medi-
cine with a gulp. The incident,
of course, does not injure the
standing of Mr.. Thompson or
the estimate his friends place
upon his worth as man. A few
oenighted and blatant free silver
demagogues ard putrid snolly-
gosters have read him out of the
Democratic party.
