q. C. Washington.

At the request of influential citizens
from all sections of the county, Mr.. b.
C. Washington has consented to become
a candidate for the Legislature. His
integrity, capacity and devotion to the
best interest of the people, his fidelity
to Democratic principles and the nomi-
nees of the Democratic party, especial
" commend him to the favor of its vo-
tiers. He has been recognized as the
best organizer in this vicinity, and as
President Of the Charlestown Democrat
ic Club at several presidential elections

in harmenizing discordant elements and
bringing out the vote for his party-be-
ing an active and intelligent supporter
of Bryan and the principles for which
he stands. And we feel confident that
if elected the people will have in him
a man who has always labored energet-
ically for every cause he has espouSed.
He will have no axe to grind, no ambi-
ton to subserve, save to represent his
people with fidelity and to the best Of
his ability. 1t is felt some recognition
is due him for long and faithful services
to his party, and he will be supported
by MANY VOTERS.

A CARD
To the Democrats Of the 18th Senatorial Dis.
trIct of West Virginia.

At an informal convention caucus OF Democrats
held Martinsburg in the early summer of 1885, it
was unanimously decided that the best interests OF
the party demanded that candidate be nominated
TO fill the vacancy in the State Senate from the hr
eenth district This vacancy was caused by the dis
qualification of II. {. Getzendanner, who had been
legally awarded the seat TO which d. W; Shafer was
elected in 1906 and who subsequently had vacated
the same. under the constitution by the acceptance
of commission in the volunteer army and otherwise
No other Democrat offering himself while realizing
the hopelessness OF the contest but believing that
paramount party interests demanded it, accepted
the tender of nomination, in obedience TO the follow
ing call
ITO MR. WM. CAMPBELL

ONE of the most vexatious scandals
that have arisen to bother this adj
ministratiOn are the frauds perpetra-
ted in Cuba by officials sent from the
United States to manage the postal
affairs Of that island. Months ago
orders were sent from Washington to
destroy stamps worth several hundred
thousand dollars, which were to be re-
placed by new ones. Instead of burn
ing these stamps, conspiracy was
formed to sell them and use them, and
between incompetence and dishonesty
the government has been defrauded of
enormous sums. One Charles F. w.
Nicely, postal agent, got rich so sud-
denly that suspicious were aroused,
and investigation has revealed an as
tonishing amount of rascality. Many
officials have been arrested and sus-
pended.
The Cubans naturally wonder what
sort Of folks American ofice-holders
are and what sort of an administration
it is that appoints such rascals to pub
lie place, They think the Spanish
were not so bad after all, in compari-
son.
