the opportunity and to lay upon It the
obligation to rearrapge the Legislative

duty the Republican party will address
itself with Infinite satisfaction.
There could not be a less fair dlstrict-
ing OF the state than that which. exists
to-day. Nor Is the unfairness mitigated
by the fact that in spite OF it all there
have been Republican trlumphs which
have Offset the Democratic work. The
state was cut up with intent to make It
impossible, for the Republicans to carry

mer out of the four.
II there had been any regard for the

fairness, the map OF the state could

No state in the Union has proflted
more by "McKinley!sm" than West vir-
ginla has.
From being backward state It has
taken its place among the foremost In
development. Its population las In
creased. Its waSe-earners have had
work at good wages. Its farmers have
sold their products at good prices. Its
merchants have had good business. Its
manufacturers have had good market
for their output. And everybody has
received a good dollar as often as dol
lar has been paid to him.
West Virginia is satisfied TO hold fast
to that which is good. hoping with rra-
ron to build higher on this broad and
solid foundation. This Is why West
Virginia has chosen 10 stand with

One Clean of Reason.

In his last words to the voters Of the
country Mr.. Bryan suddenly revealed
u streak of common sense that stands
out in startling contrast to the emo
tional eccentricitles which pervaded
his campaign. Jones and Croker, who
virtually challenged the honesty of the
American people by charging OH the eve
OF the election, that If Republican VIC
tory was secured 1t would mean only
the triumph of wholesale intimidation
and fraud. 80
The Democratic candidate for the
presidency was much more honest and
just In his prediction opinion Of the
sovereign people Of the land. for In his
last public utterance before the ballots
were cast he expressed the belief that
the people were so much In earnest that
bribery on any extended scale would be
impossible. Croker and Jones knew
this to be true, but In their desperation
they preferred to insult the American
people-and. right royalty have they re-
scented the insult Besides, Bryan said
nothing about coercion in his farewell
words, because he knew as every sem
sible person knows. that 1t. was simply
impossible under the secret ballot sys-
tenn.
There Is no reason why the result OF
this election should not be accepted
without complaint blythe defeated par
ty, for, with but few exceptions. never
has q candidate been SO thoroughly
whipped as William Jennings Bryan.

Car Riding for Insomnia.

Baltimore Sun: Some people believe
that only FOUNDERS and persons who
are compelled to stay down town late
use the all-night cars" said a conduc-
tor the other night "but you would be
surprised to know that one night during
the recent hot spell I carried twenty
passengers with me during my four
trips. They got on at different points
along the line, principally In the south
eastern section, and made the trips
from Highland town to Roland Park.
1T was comical to see them perched
In the corner Of a seat, snoozing away.
One fellow told me that 1t was the first
real sleep he has had for week. We
get as nice, cool morning air as any,
body, and this was the reason that
twenty rode all night. That was the
first time ever noticed anybody ride
for four hours, but we often have a
passenger who makes the round trip
to Roland Park and back. One man
said he always could sleep better after
cur ride"
Reputable physicians agree that late
street car rides for insomnia sufferers
are excellent.

by methods he had condohed, II not in

came so near reaching the goal Of his
ambition, the United States senate,
through the corruption and q proven
felony on the ballot.
While he was ostenslbly fighting for
the success Of the state and national
tickets he was devottng his personal en-
ergics with great desperation to secur-
Ing Democratic majority in the legis-

gally entitled to vote. on the strength Of
a secret circular sent TO them by party
managers that there was no law TO pun
ish them Tor refusing 10 receive such

these men. and the scvcrest sort OF pun

What Did It.

The reelection OF President Mckinley
was not in question. Almost every
body knew that to be a certainty. The
only question along that line was the
number OF electoral votes the President
would receive.
No calculation approaching safety
came near the real figures. The Pres
ident. and the policies he represents were
stronger than the strongest predictions.
Itcis hard to weigh the factors which
contributed to this result so creditable
to the good sense OF the American peo-
pie
The determination to keep the coun-
try on a sound money basis was power
full. The satisfaction OF the people
With the present business conditions
made them unwilling to run the risk Of
disturbing those conditions. The deep
seated resolve not to lose the legitimate
results OF the Spanish war made then,
stand by the organization which is
committed to the conservation OF those
brilliant results. Each OF these ques-
tions contributed to the victory.
There was also the strong. dign!fed.
forbearing. energetic, wise, patriotic
man who doomed above all other men
In the land as the embodiment OF the
distinctly American view OF every one
OF these questions. How many votes
that commanding, confidence inspiring
statesman brought TO his ticket cannot
be known. But they went into the bal
rut:box. and they came out In the re-
turns.
The man on the platform had very
much to do with It.

Ex-speaker McKinney's Defeat.

The signal defeat of e1-Speaker Owen
S. Mckinney. for the legislature in Mar
ion county, is another of the Judgments
Of an outraged people which have been
visited upon those who participated In
the attempt TO thwart the will Of the
majority in 1898.
Mr.. Mckinney, as speaker Of the
house Of delegates. in 1899. was 4 CO.
parcener with John T. McGraw to de-
stroy the legally acquired Republican
majority in that body on joint ballot,
SO that Mr.. McGraw might break into
the United States senate. He after
wards Joined with the ridiculous claim
ant In trying to enlist the sympathy OF
the senate In Mr.. McGraw's contest for
Senator Scotts seat. 1t Is eminently
proper, therefore, that the ex-speakel
should suffer for his political sins. and
the Inteiligencer Is glad to note that the
rebuke was made so emphatic.

Indiana has q bribery law which Is
radically different from those of most
OF the other states. A Hoosier voter
who accepts bribe is liable to .impris-
onment from two to five years; the man
who informs upon him receives a re-
ward Of 500; the man who offers the
bride is not punished. In other words,
according to the Indiana code OF morals,
1t Is wicked to accept a bride. but not to
offer one. One man may bride another,
and II the other does not vote as he
agreed the briber can inform on him,
send him to the penitentiary and get
500 for his trouble.
