Our nominee for Surveyor of
Lands, Julius Kemble Monroe, is
considered the best surveyor in the
State Of West Virginia and should
be elected to the office without OPP
position, as he would be a credit
to the county and an Official that we
could all be proud of. He has been
on the ticket several times before
and is so well and favorably known
TO our people that he needs no in
PRODUCTION. He has had charge of
the State Line Survey on behalf of
West Virginia in the contest be-
tween this State and Maryland and
his work is highly spoken of by our
State officials. AS matter of fact.
he could not accept the office if
elected without pecuniary sacrifice,
as he has much more work than he
can do, for several years and is
kept very busy all the time on work
for the railroads and coal COM
panies, but being good citizen, he
is always loyal to his party and his
home people.

Hon. George S. Deakins, from
Union district was here Monday
and gave us pleasant call. Mr..
Deakins is the Democratic nominee
for the Legislature on the East Side
and is very popular with the people
and a man of integrity and ability.
lie has been on the Democratic
ticket before several times and was
the nominee of the party for Sur
veyor of Lands at several elections
as he is practical surveyor of long
experience. He is so well and
favorably known that he will run
ahead of his ticket and we person
ally know of several Republicans
who declared their intention of
supporting him. Mr.. Deakins is a
kind-hearted man, as was shown by
little incident that occurred while
he was in our Office the other dav
A poor man came in for copy of
The ARGUS, which we very freely
gave him and he began telling how
much he would like to have it, but
having been sick and in bad shape
generally for good while, was not
able to subscribe for it, whereupon
Mr., Deakins promptly planked
down the money and ordered the
paper sent to him. Both were en-
tire strangers to each other and the
man did not know that Mr.. Deakins
was candidate for Office.

The nominees for Assessors are
among the best farmers in the
county and men of sound judgment
and good business qualifications.
On the East Side we have James
w. Freeland, of Portland district,
who stands very high with his friends
and neghbors. Is successful
farmer and has the entire conf
dence of all who know him, and
we will honestly leave it to any Re-
publican who knows Mr.. Freeland
and the Republican nominee
against him, to say if he is not far
superior for the office. 1t is re-
ported all over the county and
the charge has been made several
times in this paper and never de-
MED, that the Republican nominee
cannot even read and write.

On the West Side our nominee is
John Emory Gale, of Rohr, who
has been member of the Demo-
cratic Committee for several years
and stands highest where he is
known the best. He is a good
practical farmer and well qualified
for the Office for which he is nomi-
mated. He has a big connection
over in Pleasant district and other
parts of the county and will receive
big vote, as he deserves to. In
another issue we will have some
thing to say in regard to our dis
trict candidates, who are about all
nominated and are composed of
some of the very best citizens of the
county.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Mckinley Extraordinary Friend
ship for China has Caused Lots
Of Thinking
Senator Morgan Dcyotes Himself 10 the
Financial Question, Which He Finds
Very Interesting.
I.rom oul ResuIar CORRESPONDENT.

from our Regular Correspondent.
Washington. Oct. Ist, 1000
Mr.. McKinley's extraordinary and
apparently unaccountable friend
ship for China, which has been so
plainly shown from the beginning
of the trouble down to the abandon
ment of the allies and the order for
the sending of the American troops
in China to the Philippines, has
caused lots of thinking Attention
has been called to the fact that the
Republican Platform failed to say a
word about the continued exclusion
of Chinese laborers from the United
States, although it must have been
well known to the makers of that
platform that the present Chinese
Exclusion Law will expire by limi-
tation in 1902, and that unless it is
extended by Congress our ports will
then be open to the Chinese cooley
laborers. 1t has been noted also
that the Chinese Minister to the
United States has done considerable
talking of late about the probability
of the increased friendship between
his Government and ours resulting
in the removal of immigration re-
strictions. That large employers
of unskilled labor in this country,
not to mention the Sugar Planters
Trust of Hawaii, are anxious to see
the restrictions on Chinese immi-
grafton removed is we'll known.
By putting all these things together
Mr.. Mckinley is placed in sus-
picious attitude toward American
labor. Perhaps mention of Chinese
exclusion was purposely left out of
the Republican Platform, in order
to justify the Republican Congress
in not renewing that restriction, and
the reelection of Mr.. Mckinley
may mean the flooding of this
country with cheap Chinese labor.
The existence of such an intention
would account for Mr. McKinley's
Chinese policy. 1t should not be
overlooked that the Democratic
National Platform contains this
clause eve favor the continuance
and strict enforcement of the
Chinese Exclusion Law and its APP
plication to the same classes of all
Asiatic races" 1t is not surprising
that those who are interested in the
welfare of American labor are doing
some deep thinking. 1t is time for
them to think and to act.

His son, the subject of this

Senator Morgan, IN speech be-
fore the Jackson Democratic Asso-
citation devoted himself to the finan-
cial question, which he declared
was the most interesting topic to
him He said: "The only way to
settle the financial question is to
pay the public debt, and it would
be very easy to do so by saving
some of the wild expenditures we
are now making. In the course of
a few years we could save over
500, 900, 900, and we should com
mence to-day in order to save the
interest which the people are pay
ing. The system created by the
last Congress is designed to increase
the National Debt, and under that
legislation the debt cannot and will
not be paid, but will be increased
from year to year. The payment
of the debt would not underpin the
National Banks, but would force
them to the old Jacksonian idea of
a specie basis, and we would not be
dependent for circulating medium
on Government Bonds. When that
is done the financial question will
be settled, and settled right"

Mrs. S. i. Norton, treasurer of
the newly organized Woman's
Bryan and Antitrust and Anti
War Club, made a ringing speech
the first meeting of the club, in
which she said at behooves
every man who is suffering from the
results of combined capital to vote
for that candidate who at least
promises to destroy those conditions
which Cypress him. Every man
whose living is carried by the sweat
Of his brow is to-day the slave Of
the money power. Vote for the man
who believes trusts exist and
promises TO crush them, who
pledges himself in no measured
terms to the protection Of your
interests"

Mr.. Jackson II. Ralston, of Md,
made this reference to our trade
with the Philippines, in speech
last week to the Bryan and Steven

Philippines have been $4,000 men

imports from the Philippine Islands
have been $4,000 MANNED, 0diseased
