THEY STOOD NO SHOW.

1t will be noted that although the
present State administration has
been exploited at every op-
portunity as remarkable combination
Of unusually jealous and competent Re
publican officials by the party press,
and that every man jack of them was
candidate for denomination, except
ing, of course, the Governor, who was
not eligible, not one of the entire out
fit came within furlong of reaching
the coveted plum in the Convention. 1t
will strike the average citizen that the
result was a strange sort of endorse
ment of men who are alleged to have
ably performed public duties and will
hardly rejoice the hearts of the friends
OF the present administration. Messrs.
Rucker, and Trotter, and LaFollette
and all the rest Of them were dropped
like hot potatoes. Why and where
fore?

DELEGATION HOME.
Ohio County Republicans Return
From the State Convention.

Ohio County Republicans Return
From the State Convention.
The special train which left Char
lesion Thursday night conveying the
Ohio county delegation to the State
convention, arrived in the city early
yesterday morning. There was no
sleeper on the train, and as many of the
delegates had not slept on the previous
night they were all well worn out
when the special pulled i'll at the Ohio
River depot. The Opera House band
accompanied the delegation, but did
nothing to relieve the dropping spirits
of the disappointed politicians The
silence was almost funereal and sug-
gestive of the burial of the hopes of the
delegates.
number of prominent Ohio county
Republicans, including Mr.. Hall, c. Il.
Henning. H. C. Richards, ". P. Huh
bard. S. G. Smith, N. e. Whitaker, Geo.
B. Caldwell, VIM. G. Caldwell, Louis
E. Schrader and others, did not come
home on the special, but spent the
night in Charleston, most Of them COM
ing home on the morning trains yes
te1day.
All wore detected look, which was
intensified by their fatigue. They
were not in a huElor for talking, and
some of them Immediately went to bed.
Those who reappeared on the streets
voiced the sentiment expressed on the
previous day, that Ohio county can get
nothing good from the State, some del
egates asserting that the rule holds
good in gatherings of all kinds, not be-
ing limited to political assemblages.
Some of the delegates, but very few,
wore Scherr badges.
Mr.. Hall came up as far as Parkers-
burg, where he took a B. & o. train
for Mountain Lake Park, to join his
family, who are spending the heated
term at that resort

TIE NEWT HOUSE.

AS the time for the active opening
Of the campaign approaches it becomes
more and more apparent that the Re-
publicans are going to lose the next
House OF Representatives In the
present House that party had but thir-
teen majority, but they unseated three
legally elected Democrats for purely
partisan purposes, thus increasing their
lead TO nineteen. The Democracy will
carry these three districts again, be-
yond the SHADOW of doubt
An examination of the tables of the
Congressional election two years ago
shows tat eleven Republican mem
bers were chosen by less than 1000
each. The prospects are that the De-
mocracy will carry all of these dis
tricts this year, sufficient alone to give
them control of the lower body of the
national legislature Again thirty or
forty Republican members were elect
ed by majorities ranging from 900 to
1880. These districts are all fair fight
ing ground, and the Democracy will
carry number of them. The outlook
is for a good working Democratic ma
jerity III the next House OF Represent
atives, and this indication is worrying
Republican managers not little.

Engineera In the City

A private car of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company arrived in Bridge
port yesterday. 1t was occupied by
officials of the road, among whom
were W. R. Hamilton, engineer main
tenance of way for the Cleveland &
Hittsburg division. The special car
was taken to Martins Ferry, and over
the Terminal road to this city. Their
visit is regarded by some as giving
credence to the report that when the
c. & P. time schedule is again changed,
trains will run into Wheeling.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
THE TRAGEDY AT PEKIN.

The Register has repeatedly express
cd the opinion, during the last ten
days or two weeks, that the foreigners
in the Chinese capital were beyond
hope Of relief, and that most of them
were dead. The most recent news in
dicates that Ministers, attaches, secre-
taries, military officers, private soldiers
and missionaries, male and female,
have alike succumbed to the continued
onslaughts of a horde of fanatical
pagans, and that the tragedy has been
consummated to the full. The loss of
life among the foreigners is probably
about seven hundred, and the dead in
clude:
United States Minister Edward H.
Eonger, Mrs. Conger, Miss Bessie Con-
ger, Miss Laura Conger; Secretary
Herbert G. Squires; Second Secretary
William E. cambridge; Interpreter
Fleming S. Cheshire; Mrs. NJ. S. Wood
ward, of Chicago; Miss Iona Wood
ward, of Chicago; Miss Cecil Payne,
Miss Mary Pierce, and seven officers
and fifty-six men of the consular
guard. The total of Americans is thus
seventy-four, not counting mission
aries, of which there We're twelve Pres
byterian, eight Methodists and eleven
Congregationalists, but these latter
We're probably not all Americans.
Great Britain, Germany, Russia,
nee, Japan, Austria and Italy have
Yost in proportion, making the total
about seven hundred, as stated.
Relief measures appear to be no
longer worth talking about, for the
time for relief has gone by if the news
can be depended upon, and it has the
ear-marks of truth. July 9Th is given
as the date of the final stand by the
Europeans and japanese, and the latest
informatioh< Is thatAall are dead and
the foreign bSNdi1 ksgtroyed.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Present Your Erie DIS with Some TOk-
ZEN of Your Love, However
Small 1t May Be.

Once more the happy season of the
year is at hand, when we begin to
prepare gifts of love for Christmas.
1t is indeed a pleasing indication of
the rapid spread of feelings of kind
ness and good will throughout -. the
world that the preparation of beauti-
full articles for Christmas gifts affects
the. industries of all civilized nations.
The choice of articles for Christmas
gifts is a perplexing pleasure. Ac-
cording to Emerson, articles of beauty
rather than of use are appropriate for
gifts. In giving we have to avoid, ON
the one hand, the imposing of a sense
of obligation. and, on the other, of
making the discharge of just obliga-
ton the occasion for assuming to our
selves the role of benefactor. The
donation party given at Christmas to
the faithful pastor whose past due
salary ia unpaid is only an unfair

ments. Santa Claus, the German, Is
naturalized an American, and the Ger
man Christmas-tree takes root in our
soil. So does the English holly. Eng
lish Christmas sor gs of course are
easily sung by American voices; while,
on the Christmas board, the native
American turkey has never been
known to quarrel with good British
plum pudding.
Good cheer, indeed, is proper part
of the gospel of joy, if it is shared
Music belongs in an especial way to
Christmas, for the gladness that can
not express itself in any other way
pours itself out freely in song
Flowers, the earth's own expression
Of joy, should not be absent from
Christmas celebrations where they can
be procured; and where they cannot,
the green boughs of evergreen trees
may we'll testify to the universal faith.
at the season when nature is cold and
white, in the sure renewal of all the
life that sleeps.
The coming of Christmas is to be-
hailed, then, by more than the young,
for more than they may we'll have,
when it comes, "the best time of all
the year." Its coming is token that
there can be no gladness without
benevolence-that goodwill toward
men" is the very foundation of "peace-
on EARTH" And so, Merry Christmas
to all our readers, and to all the world.
