THEIR REAL SENTIMENTS.
What The Huntington Herald Really
thinks of DIR. Raymond and That
Resignation.

Some time ago an article appeared
in the Huntington Herald Iandatory
OF President Raymond This was
at variance with what the Herald
had been saying about that gentle
man and people were somewhat sur.
prised at it, The article in question
was published by a paperin Morgan
town.
Alter the article appeared it was
found that 1t had heenslippcdin under
the impressionlhat it was report of a
talk DR.. Raymond had given in Hun
tington. 1t did not represent the
true feelings of the paper. The ed
itorial given below does represent
what they think OF the matter ansl
it reflects the sentiments Of every
true friend OF the University The
article in question is as follows
1t is stated that President Ray.
mond, whose resignation as head
of the university is under consider.
alton by the Board of Regents, is
now endeavorin9 to retrench with
the determination of securing re
appointment il possible. IT this is
true, it is not gathering to his judg
ment. just what good be can hope
to accomplish in school whose fac
ulty almost to a unit he has es
trangea, in locality whose people
are unreservedly opposed To his re
tention, and Ia, a state where public
sentiment is much more than divid
ed against him, will puzzle the av-
erage understanding. Such deter
minatien in itself would neutralize
what limited usefulness for good he
still commands, it does not argue u
spirit entirely tactious and contrary
to every hope and ambition of
broad and liberal minded leadership.
His merits can weigh nothing for
nor against his further serv; ces as
president OF the university Such a
criterion is no longer pertinent
Under present conditions, one fact
is conspicnous--he can no Logger
serve Tie stdIe III Jlah capacity
That should be clearly admitted by
any man seeking the good of the in
stitution. The Herald hopes the
President entertains no motive SO
grounded in folly as to endeavor to
force his way to an appointment
against both the wish and the judg
ment OF the people. A board com
posed of wise men could not afford
to regard such an ambition with
favor or even tolerance.

MEREDITH GAINS
His Friends Are Confident that
Dayton Is

Already Defeated For the Republican
Nomination For Congress- Grant
County Will Give Meredith About
solid Vote and Hardy will Follow
Grant.
To say that the Meredith man
ayers in this place are juhilant
would mildly express their joy ut
the change recently taken place IN
the situation tor the Republican
Congressional contest. For some
weeks il has been understood that
Congressman Dayton would again
be the choice OF his party Il has
been known all along that>there was
much opposition TO Dayton, but is
was hardly thought that this oppo
sition could be controlled in the IN.
terest OF any of the rival candidates
Meredith has all along been re-
garaed as Dayton's strongest rival,
but Holt and Pitzer each had some
votes, and the votes OF the three
combined was known to be sufficient
to defeat the gentlemen from Bar
bonr But TO control them has been
the struggle. Lately the Marion
county boys have put on their fight
ing clothes and have gone into the
battle to win. Walking delegates
have been sent to the various y.
gions, and the work of some Of them
has been very satisfactory to the
Managers.
Harry Shaw, than whom no slick
or minipulator can be found in tho
Republican ranks, has been in the
South Branch Valley for some time
and on last Saturday he succeeded
In capturing the votes Of Grant
county for the Marion county man.
Dayton was present and his friends
attempted TO instruct the delegates
to vote for Dayton. but the at
tempt was snmmarily defeated and
Grant county will give her votes
for Meredith.
Hardy county has not named her
delegates yet, but the Indications are
that Meredith will get the votes OF

Managers on the top rounds Of expect

will nominate their man, let Monon-
gala county vote as she will. They
also tell us THAI the gang about Nor

district will probably vote for Dayton
many OF the country districts are for

Of the vote Of that county In spite of
the opposition OF the politicians OF
Morgantown, who 1T IL claimed, are
under obligations to support MEREDITH
by direct promise made not long
ago, TO secure the votes OF Marion
county in judicial contest.
These statements are based entirely
upon information derived from Re

Holt nor Pitzer are any longer serious

PARKERsBURG. W. Va, June s.
The delegates to the Democratic
State convention, weary from the ex
citement OF Wednesday night, and
tired from loss Of sleep, were slow to
assemble In the wigwam Thursday
morning When they got to work it
was with a determination to com
plete the ticket in time to enable
the delegates to return to their
homes at night Several attempts
to adjourn were voted down by over
whelming maiorities. From ten
o'clock in the morning until five
o'clock in the afternoon, the dele
gates remained in the wigwam, not
more than half hundred leaving for
luncheon.
Everybody appeared to appreciate
the situation, and to be willing to be
governed accordingly. The speeches
were short, and the balloting was
conducted with less confusion than
last night. With this disposition
manifested by all the delegates,
paratively easy to control the body.
The speeches were more numerous
than on the first day, and some were
really brilliant efforts. Every con
test was spirited. and although not
more than one ballot was taken up
on any nomination, the changes
which were made in the votes bv
the various delegations represented
an outlay of much energy and polit-
ical sagaeity.
The convention was harmonious.
In every instance in which defeat
ed candidate was in the wigwam. the
motion to make the nomination
unanimous came from him or a per-
sonal representative, and the thanks
of successful candidates were min
gled with congratulations from the
defeated. There may have been an
almost imperceptible trace OF bitter
ness in some Of the contests, but at
ter the nominations were made there
was no soreness. Candidates were
| forgotten in the general desire for
party success, and the pleasant rela-
tions among the contending forces

A. D. BLEDs0Es z
New Chairman Of the Audrain Demo-
cratic Central Committee Has a
Word to Say to Democrats,

Mr.. A. d. Bledsos, on being elected
Chairman Of the Democratic Central
Committee of Audrain County, made
the following brief but pointed adj
dress to the Democrats of this county:
sOn assuming the duties that natural
ly devolve upon the chairman Of your
Central Committee, l have thought
best to make Q few suggestions.
These suggestions shall pertain to
harmony and organization within the
Democratic party Of Audrain county.
1.-THE harmony that prevails within
the ranks Of the State and National
DEMOCRACY is & source Of great salts"
faction TO every good Democrat.
Never before has the united
Democracy Of the State stood in solid
phalanx for its nominee for president
prior TO the nominating convention.
Every delegate that has bean instruct
ed at all up TO the present time 10 in
structed for the peoples candidate, W.
J. Bryan, the matchleas leader from
Nebraska.
"No person living has ever seen
such complete harmony as prevails In
our State politics. This Is shown by
the fact that the Democracy OF Mis-
souri, Is about to nominate, without
opposition, the following officials:
Governor, Attorney General, Secreta-
~ OF State and Supreme Judge.
"The Democracy of Audrain county
is In excellent condition. Fresh from
the fires OF q county primary we hear
of no candidates d~isgruntled or sore
over their defeat. Harmony prevails
everywhere. But harmony of itself lie
not sufficient; there must go hand in
hand with harmony organization, and
it is to this end that these suggestions
are made.
"No Democrat should be satisfied
until there Is q Democratic Club
organized in every school district In
the county. Now, In order to secure
this end every voter must become
interested ct once. The committee
cannot accomplish anything unless
aided by the individual voters, for
everyone knows that the succsss of
political organizations and parties
under . Republican form of govern
ment depends upon the zeal Of the
individual and not upon any one Of
fetal or set Of officers. For that
reason let MS all be clothed In
righteousness Of the principles Of free
dom, liberty and humanity. Let ne
put our shoulders to the wheels of our
Democratic wagon, In which are
seated Bryan, Dockery and Cook,
along with other stalwart Democrats;
and, with one united effort, push on to
success at the polls in November.
Let rs make AudraIn county the ban
ner Democratic county Of Missouri,
and thus aid to make Missouri the
banner Democratic State of the
Union. II the individual voter will
only do his part the committee will do
Its part to accomplish this end.y
