Register,s Governorship Boom

Registers GOVernOrSLlp DuOh.
The Register names a long list OF
available candidates for the Democratic
nomination for governor next year.
They represent about all the factions,
but all are able and competent men,
some better and more deserving than
others. There are some OF these candi-
dates who are not prepared to accept
the vagaries Of the platform which is
likely to be adopted at the national con-
vention. Many are not likely to take
stand and be committed to an Agul-
naldo platform, and place themselves
as antagonistic to the American tlag'
and favor the sacrificing of the integri-
ty Of the Nation.
Others have lived to see every predic-
ton of the nlnety-six platform dlsprov-
en-, and the preservation of the national
credit, the revival OF industrial pros
perity, the expansion of our foreign
trade, with the balance In our favor.
Others have lived to see the emptiness
Of Organism, others do not care to sac
ritice themselves with William Jennings
BRYAN as the head of the ticket; a few
are not ambitious to lead forlorn hope
In West Virginia. Perhaps some do not
know where the Democratic party is
on any vital question at issue before
the people.
1t viii be hard to select from the list
of excellent men proposed by the Regis
ter, one who will endorse its own abuse
OF the present executive. and subscribe
to the doctrines of treason advocated by
Edward Atkinson. The Register has
NOT consulted the WI hes of these able
men. II 1t had, SOME of the names
would have been left from the list,
and our nelghbor would have heard
some things about It's own course not
altogether tasteful.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
wnEELNe, sEprEMBER GO, 1893.
ACredIt to tho City.

A city is known by Its good hotels.
Good hotels are good advertisements
for any city, great or small. They do
as much to maintain the character Of a
community and to reflect their enter
prise and up-to-date progress, as the
Industries, modern business methods,
loyal newspapers, and the culture and
the refinement and hospitality of the
citizens.
AS to the hotel part of it, the truth
was splendldly illustrated yesterday
when the new Mcclure house was
thrown open to the public in all the
freshness of its magnitcence with It's
marble halls and stairways. its beauti-
full furniture, its modern conveniences.
and its excellent table, at which maay
invited guests partook of an opening
repast which was a banquet In It's ma
ture.
II the Mcclure keeps up the reputa-
ton 1t earned for itself yesterday, its
success for the future is assured. The
Intelligencer reflects the sentiment Of
wheeling people in extending to the
proprIetors of the Mcclure congratuIa-
tioas on the splendid outlook for the
prosperous Lualness they deserve.

sources having gained circulation, how
ever, It is desirable in the interest of
historical accuracy to have the facts re:
stated. This has been done by Admiral
Dewey himRelf in an interview given TO
the Records stan correspondent, Mr.
Joseph L. Stickney. In the simple,
straiRhtforWnrd manner Characteristic
Of the man, he gives the details Of the
affair, not in any boastful spirit, but
in order that erroneous impressions
may be corrected. Dewey was In con-
troll Of Manila Bay, and consequently IL
was his right and duty to know the
character and nationality Of all ships
entering the harbor. While Dewey
manifestly regretted the necessity OF
any unpleasant relations with vice
Admiral Won Diederichs, he purposed to
perform his duty at all hazards. That
Dewey was entirely within his rights In
the premises was virtually conceded la
ter by Vice Admiral Won Diederichs in
his compliance with the conditions laid
down by the American commanding OF

A snrresrion ny a spaniard.

When a testimonial comes from a
Standard in the shape Of tribute to
General Otis. 1t is worth considering.
Joseph H. voltas, a spaniard now llv-
ing at Portland. oregon, who once
spent six months in the Philippines, as
n member Of the signal corps, makes
the statement that the people who are
finding so much fault with General Otis
fail to realize the innumerable difficult
tIes OF the situation.
This defender from the land OF our
late enemy, says: The general Is act
ing in accordance with the instructions
received or suggested by the executives;
hence. not possessing carte blanche. he
Is to a certain extent hedged in, and
the double role he assumes would be
TOO difficult for any man. inasmuch as
he must excel In one or the other capac-
Ity. that IS. either be better general
than civil governor. or vice versa"
Perhaps Their" is a suggestion to be
found In the Idea advanced by this
spanIard. It must be admitted that
many OF the criticisms Of Otis have
been connected with the admission that
one part OF his duties are well per-
formed. and that his tasks are more
diverse than any man should be expect
ed 10 perform.
