work. with their barred arms reeking
with the blood OF our beloved boys; he
sees the shells tearing gaps through ed

the earnings OF the nation burned up in
powder smoke, sunk In the sea, shat
tered into ruins on the land: he sees
death stalking along the crimson decks
OF u men-of-war In ten thousand
awful gu!ses; he hears the means OF
the dying. the hiss OF bullets. the
shrek OF shells, the roar of artillery,
and he sees the flames blowing from
the muzzles Of great guns, streaming
from sky-piercing rockets, and bursting
from the bowels OF onr ships Of COM

Nj. H. G. Davis and the Democracy.

Some Of the Democratic papers IN the
statc are booming Ex-senator Henry G.
Davis for governor. or rather for the
Democratic nomination for that Office.
The Register suggests thai perhaps Mr..
Davis would prefer being West Vir-
sinia's neyt United States senator. Per-
haps he would. and perhaps" Senator
Faulkner would prefer to succeed him
self; and perhaps" Ex-Governor Wilson
apd Col. John T. Mcc;raw, and several
Others, would prefer the lightning to
strike them. il 1t we're Only possible 10
carry the legislature.
All these .pcrhspses"a are in order. Blu:
the perhaps" OF the Register is the one
which will attrac. some attention. AIR
Davis has, no. been active In politics
much In recent years, though in 1896 he
made some speeches endorsing 'Fbi-met-
allism'' In preference to the gold stan
dard, without committing himself
strongly to the radical idea chat would
place US upon Il silver basis. SO far
as this soes. MIR. Davis might prove ac-
eeptable to many Democrats, but there
are other things TO be considered.
For a long while past the Democratic
press. or a very considerable portion OF
Il, has been ~denouucirg the e~X-senator's
opposition 70 free trade. and In the very
midst of the campaign he has been
openly charged with being a Republic
can at heart. Some newspapers, per
haps'' the Register was not one Of them.
though its files OF 1894 might divuige
sorne Interesting things. we're very bit
ter In ;ncir denunciatiors Of Mr.. Davis
for his alleged participation in the en-
forced retirement OF Mr.. William l..
Wilson to private life. With Mr.. Davis
as a Democratic candidate for United
States senator a great many Democratic
newspapers and politicians would have
a great many things to take back.
Il would DE an Interesting sight to wit
ness the Democratic gentlemen OF The
prees burning up their files to eliminate.

on Mr.. Davis's loyalty TO Democracy
within the recent past. That is why
the Registers perhaps" is ofunusualln-
terest. II the "~pe>haps" should take
root and develop Into a boom. then
perhaps" We should sec n careful
avoidance OF the repetition OF Demo-
cratic sncers about Mr.. Davis's business
connections with Mr.. Elsins.
The Democratic party could go a long
way. and not find a more fitting man
TO put in the senate II they are given
the power of selection, bu: there would
be a great many things they nave been
