He Is Well Thought of In the East

To the Editor of the Register.
MARTINSBURG, W. Va, April %
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the Eastern Panhandle, con-
corning the make up of the ticket to
be named at the Democratic State con-
vention to be held at Parkersburg, on
June 9th, and the one great desire ap-
pears to be that good, representative
men be made our standard bearers
for the coming politicaI contest.
Our people are encouraged in the
hope that a satisfactory State ticket
and satisfactory nominations all along
fossn the line, we shall redeem our
littleqMountain State from the domin-
alton of Republican bossism and mis-
rule.
1t is but natural that the leading
concern is the nomination of a guber-
Material candidate, and so far as | am
able to determine, either of the names
being prominently mentioned would
prove acceptable to our people.
Since the withdrawal If Hon. An
drew Edimston from the list of aspir-
ants for gubernatorial honors, it
seems that Judge %Travenner, Prof.
Lewis and former State Senator Flour
noy are the only names now being
prominently considered in connection
with the nomination. and it is said
that neither of these gentlemen are
making or will make an active canvass
prior to the convention.
This state of affairs is very fortunate
for party, as contests for these po-
sitions always create more or less
strife and bitter feelings, the effects
of which are usually manifest at the
polls.
IN connection with Judge Tavenner's
candidacy seems quite a sentiment in
this section that while he is eminently
qualified for the Goyernorship and
would prove an admirable candidate.
yet, being comparatively a young man
of excellent legal requirements. with
four years experience on the bench.
he should be promoted to one of the
Supreme Court judgeships, instead of
virtually going out of the line OF his
profession, at least for four years. o
accept the nomination for Governor.
Il is claimed among the legal pro-
fession that he would reflect both hon
or and credit on the Supreme Court
bench, and as that position would en-
title him TO twelve years service with
an annual salary far more remunera-
tive than the Goyernorship. Il number
of his friends seem inclined to the
opinion that he should accept the SUI
preme Court judgeship instead of the
gubernatorial nomination.
| Again III is urged that shouId he he
nominated for Governor, he would nee
~essarily be required to resign his cir
cult judgeship in order TO make the
campaign, while as a candidate for the
| Supreme bench, be would not be ex-
| nected to do so.
However, the convention, IN its wis

Important Church Decision.

LONDON, May 1.-The archbishops
of Canterbury and York have en-
dered judgment on the subject of the
reservation of the sacrament. They
said they were obliged to decide that
the church of England did not allow
reservation in any form and those be-
lieving it ought to be permitted while
law altered, were not justified in prac-
ticilg reservation until the law was
changed.
The term reservation of the sacra-
ment' means the preservation of some
of the Eucharistic elements, especially
the bread, for alteration and for use
with the sick OF with prisoners.

ROBBED OF $4,000.


r Icy gO&e M
CHICAGO, May 1.-The Montreal po-
lice were to-day notified to arrest
Thomas Nevou and a woman known as
Sadie Carroll, said to have left Chi
cago last night with property valued
at $4,000, alleged to have been stolen
by young Nevou from his mother. Mrs.
NJ. j. Nevou, mother Of Thomas, made
the complaint to the police last night.
She said she and her sons, Thomas
and Arthur, had recently returned
from Cape Nome. In a valise she kept
diamonds, gold dust and negotiable
paper valued at $4,000, and other
papers showing her right to a claim
on Bonanza Creek. The claim, she
said, was worth $4,000. Yesterday,
according to Mrs. Nevou's story, Thorn
as put some kind Of opiate in her tea
and she remained in a deep stupor till
evening. When she awoke she found
that her younger son and the valise
containing her property had disap-
peared. Mrs. Nevou is under the care
of a physician, who says she is suffer
ing from poison.
Detectives to-day learned that per-
sons answering the descriptions given
of young Nevou, who is but seventeen
years of age, and Sadie Carroll, twenty
eight years of age, left for Montreal,
Nevou's former home, last night.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May Hon.
James H. Miller spent Sunday in Bal

met Mr.. Miller at Rennert's Hotel, and
when asked If he was a candidate for
Auditor, said: Eyes, | am a candi-
date and have been for many moons.
My name will be before the Parkers-
burg convention and if nominated |

"How about the report that you were
to come down and take the Secretary.
ship Of State under Mr.. Flournoy?"
Mr.. Miller replied: There Is moth
ing in that proposition; it has never
been offered me; if it had I could not
now accept it. My name has for sew
eral months been mentioned for Audi
tor, and I have indicated to my friends
throughout the State that the nomi-
nation would be accepted and that |
was a candidate. They have gone to
work for me, and in fact a number
of counties have instructed for me. 1t
would now be unfair to them and an
injustice to myself to lie down. I am
in this race to a finish. However, there
has been no communication between
Mr.. Flournoy and myself whatever;
no propositions made, accepted or re-
fused, and the report that there was a
deal on between us Is a mistake"
When asked his opinion of the pros
poets for the party in the State, Mr..
Miller replied: "They are good. We
will carry the State ticket and also
the legislature"

Michigan Republicans Vow Realize
1t Will BE a Desperate Task TO
Hold Their State.

Michigan Republicans NOW heaIiZe
1t Will Be "a Desperate Task to
Hold Their State.
WASHINGTON, May michigan
Republicans pretend to make light of
Governor Pingree's announcement that
he will act with the Democratic party
this year, and that the hope of the
country now lies in that party. AS a
matter of fact the Michigan Republi-
cam and the administration had seri-
Gus fears for the State before it be-
came publicly known that Pingree
would openly array himself against
them in the coming campaign. Now
that the latter is a certainty 1t is need
less to say the Republicans are more
alarmed than ever about the State, and
realize that they must put up a most
desperate fight to hold it in line for
Mckinley.
Governor Pingree has a tremendous
personal following, and that a heavy
percentage of these voters will go with
him into the Democratic campaign
cannot be doubted. Pingree has built
up this following by advocating meas
ures that are right in line with Demo-
cratic teachings. Therefore it stands
to reason his adherents will not desert
him now because he finds it expedient
and necessary to advance a little fur
ther along the road he and they have
been travelling since he started out on
his political career.

Democratic National Chairman Jones
Encourages Populists to Nominate
the NebrnaIxau

N IMG -
WASHINGTON, May 1.3Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman OF the
Democratic National Convention,
laughs at the stories in circulation thai
the Democratic leaders are embarrassed
by the prospect that the Sioux rails
Populist Convention will endorse Col.
w. j. Bryan for the Presidency, thus
anticipating his nomination by The
Democratic convention to be held later
at Kansas City. Senator Jones takes
the view that if Col. Bryan is a good
man. and If his election to the Presi-
dency is a desirable thing for the coun-
try. the more endorsements he receives
the better. His position on all public
questions is known, and all who en-
dorse him will do so with this fact
plainly before them.
mo complications can arise from the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan by the Popu-
lists al their Sioux Falls convention,
the Senator continued. 1T will be en-
tirely proper for them to nominate
him, and there can be no embarrass-
ment to the Democrats from their do
ing so. Indeed, | see no objection,
from a Democratic point of view, to
the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan by all
the national conventions to be held this
Even if he were nominated at
the Philadelphia convention it would
not embarrass us. 1t would be a good
thing, I think, if all people should
agree on him."

phia want Eight-Hour Day.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The
struggle for an eight-hour W~ork-day,
which has been under consideration by
the labor unions of this city, began in
earnest to-day when, according to Sec
rotary Joseph B. Allen, Of the Allied
Building Trades Council, wOrkmen rep
resenting every branch of the building
trades went on strike 10 enforce by
a concerted movement the demands of
the unions. Nearly 5000 men are re
ported to have quit work, and this
number is but a small representation
OF the total membership of the allied
building trades council, which en-
braces about 95 per cent Of the men
employed in the building trades. The
fact that SO few worlmen were COM
PEELED to strike is considered by the
unions as favorable 70 their cause.
The movement for a working day of
eight hours and d general increase OF
wages, averaging about 25 per cent,
began some months ago. At a recent
meeting May / was decided upon as
the day for presenting the demands.
Early to-day representatives. Of the
wo.kmen were securing the city and
up to the present time Secretary Allen
reports the signing of many agree
ments with employers, though unable
to give the exact number.
At the headquarters of the Brother
hood Of Carpenters and Joiners it was
stated that nine-tenths of their meln-
bers were at work, and that signed
agreements were constantly coming in
from the master builders. The car
penters ask 35 cents al hour for a
working day of eight hours. The en-
tire police force mas been ordered on
duty in anticipation Of possible trou-
BILE, but there have been 40 disturb
