the Association was taken down the
river to the historic Blcnnerhasseti
Island aud had a pleasant outing.
On the return some time was spent
examining the museum and cuyios
OF Prof. Stahl. AT night an elegan,
concert and reception was rendered
the Association out at Tcrrapin
Park Casino, where two hours
program Of recitations, music and
refreshments were served TO all. After
that a magnificent banquet was given
at the Blennerhassett Hotel, lasting
till two O'Clock. The flowers, fruit.
menu, champagne, toasts. service
and every feature was complete,
and one of the finest we ever at
tended, and Parkersburg deserves
great credit for so handsomely en-
terlaining the editors.
Thusday an important business
session was held and various com
miltee reports received and some
more new members enrolled.
A paper was read by Miss May
Fairfax Morgan on "Observations. F"
made while attending the National
Editorial Association in New Or
leans. The paper was well received
by the convention, and will be pub
lished in this paper next week.
The officers elected for another
year were-President, Capt. NJ. G.
Sperry, of the Clarksburg News;
Vice President, Rev. Geo. r. Brown,
of the Methodist Protestant, Har-
risvillej Secretary, Silas p. Smith,
West Union Record, and Treasurer,
Henry c. Sample, Fairmont Free
Press.
The time and place for holding
the next meeting was left to the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Associa-
ton, but it was generally understood
that it would be at Fairmont, as
that place is anxious for it. Several
other points bid for the meeting also.
That evening about five O'Clock
about half of the Association left
for Pittsburg over the Ohio River
railroad, and Saturday went on to
Buffalo to visit and inspect the
grounds and buildings of the Pan
American Exposition and Niagara
Falls. Part of the members did not
go, as the arrangements were very
indefinite and unsatisfactory, and
the trip required more time than
was expected.
The retiring President, Hon. L.
II. Flynn, declined reelection, and
insisted that the honor should be
passed around.
Among all those who contributed
most to the success and pleasure of
the meeting, none deserve so much
praise and credit as genial, popular,
deserving A. b. White, who writes
himself down as one of the elias
Beens," because he is not now in
the newspaper business, but takes as
much interest as ever, and no an
nual session would be complete
without him.

The Republican administration is
IN such hot water and bad standing
over the Philippine war, that the
organs Of the party are in desperate
straits over the situation. They
have time and again announced tina,
the war was over and McKinley's
policy of benevolent Assimilation

next reports from the Philippines
would show that the war had broken
out again hercer than ever and a
number Of our soldiers killed and
wounded and the insurgents slaugh-
tered by the wholesale. So that the
war has been ended" and re opened
every week now for the past year,
and seems to be as hopelessly un-
settled as ever, and the Republican
campaign of Peace, Patriotism, Pro.
lection and Prosperity ready to
break out again. The situation is
so desperate that desperate rene
dies are required, and the Republi-
can press are now giving out that
Bryan is entirely to blame for the
continuance of the Philippine war,
and thatit will be impossible to end
1t until after the election and BRYAN
is defeated. That on account OF
Bryan being opposed to the war,
and being the popular candidate of
the people, who are also opposed to
1t, the Filipinos believe that he will
be elected and call off our soldiers
and give them back their country

The Democrats Of the First dis

Holt, of Weston, for Congress, and
turn him loose on "Black lack"
Dovener. 1t would be a battle
royal from start to finish and the
way Holt would clean Dovenor up
would be caution to all future OBJ
ponents of the Lewis county cy-
clone. The fight that the Captain
is now having with Judge Campbell
would be only a side show to the

The latest candidate for Vice
President on the ticket with BRYAN
is William II. Hearst editor and
proprietor of the New York Journal.
This is not bad suggestion as the
Journal is one of the few big Dem
cratic dailies that stood by the
party in 1896 and has been power
full factor for good ever since Hearst
took charge of it. He is young
and ambitious and backed by mil
lions of dollars and would probably
carry New York and California
through his money and influence of
his big papers, the Journal being
the leading paper of the east
and the San Francisco Examiner
of the western coast, and both
belonging to Hearst, and Califor-
MIA his native State where his
father made his money and was

The eclipse of the sun advertised
to come off Monday morning of
this week was fake of the rankest
kind, and we could get up better
one any day by wearing our white
linen brooches, which always brings
up storm and heavy rain. We
watched for the eclipse all forenoon
and saw nothing whatever over the
sun except dark clouds, but every
little bit "Old Sol" would break
through and shine brighter than
usual, and we don't believe there
was any eclipse at all in this section.

Now that the highest Court in the
world, the United States Supreme
Court, has decided against Taylor,
the Republican claimant for Gov
ernor in Kentucky, and that the
law was on the side of the Demo
Gratis and the action of the Ken
lucky Legislature perfectly legal in
awarding the Offices to the Demo
cratic candidates, we hope this will
settle the matter for all time to
come, and the only thing now is to
hunt down and punish the assassin

The Journal last week contained
a column editorial from the New
York Tribune trying to explain the
big strikes now going on all over
the country, just like we had in 1902
under Ben Harrison and after "four
years Of Republican patriotism and
prosperity" The Tribune claims
that the American people can't
stand prosperity and don't know
when they are we'll off, and the
more they get the more they want,
and this causes them to strike and

we congratulate the Democracy
OF good old Jefferson county on re-
nominating Hon. r. w. Morrow for
the Legislature by such handsome
majority at the Primary election
held down there last Saturday. His
opponent may be very good man,
but ne had no business monkeying
with the band wagon. Morrow
should really have had no opposi-
ton whatever. We are also glad to
note that Col. Bill Campbell has
bagged the nomination for the State
Senate from that district, as he was
clearly entitled to the right of way.

he sustained the injuries for which he
