FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The next place to be filled was that
of Attorney General. John Morrison
nominated j. G. Showalter, of Richie.
At this time Freer's name was sprung
on the convention and it created tre-
mendous uproar. The candidates for
Attornel General tried in vain to pre-
vent stampede Showalter withdrew
in Freer's favor. His example was
followed by all the other candidates
except George G. Cole, of Lewis, who
protested against the forcing of a
slate candidate upon the convention
He shook his fist at the presiding Off
GER, Perry A. Shanor, and declared: Il
am not in favor of having showed upon
this convention a slate that will cause
the destruction of the Republican par
ty."
But he was howled down and Freer
was declared nominated by acclama-
ton.

THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE.

What the Republican Party, in
Years Gone by, Had to Say Com
corning This Magma Charta of
American Liberty, Which Mark
Hanna and Cohorts Now Treat as
an Obsolete Decument.iG
At the first National Convention of
the Republican party, held in 1856,
which nominated John c. Fremont for
President, the following plank is
found in the platform:
Resolved, That the principles pro-
mulgated in the Declaration of indie
pendenee is essential TO the preserva-
ton of our Republican institutions. :"
In the platform OF the same party.
adopted in 1860, when Abraham Lin
coin was nominated, we find this
plank:
Resolved, That the maintenance of
the principles promulgated in the Dec
laration of Independence-Tha gov
ernments are institutes among men.
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, is essential to
the preservation of our republican in
stitutions" .,5.f-,, a,t
AT the Republican convention held
in 1868, at which General Ulysses S.
Grant was nominated, the following
significant language was used in the
construction OF the Republican ma
tional platform.
Resolved, That this convention de-
clares itself in sympathy with all OPP
pressed people who are struggling for
their rights" .s
AS late as 1892, when General Harri-
urrc NO no tod NV i'm
for President, we find the following in
the platform Of that party:
Resolved, That the Republican
party has ever been the champion of
the oppressed and has always recog-
nized the dignity OF manhood, irrespec-
tive OF faith, color or nationality 1t
sympathizes with the cause of home
rule in Ireland.
Now go read every line, every
sentence, every word and every sylla-
BILE in the platform adopted in the city
of Philadelphia, on the Goth day of
June, 1900, by Mark Hanna and his
henchmen and see if you can discover
one single utterance concerning the
Declaration OF independence, that''gov
ernments derive their just powers from
the consent OF the governed" or sym
pathy for all the oppressed"
No, you will find instead of these ut
terances, nothing but the dollar, dol
lar, dollar.
90 read for yourself, patriotic voters,
and tell us whether the same principles
that governed the men who controlled
the Republican conventions which
nominated Fremont, Grant and Harri-
son, predominated in the convention
which met in Philadelphia lay- month
and re-nominated William Mckinley,
or was it not the commercial greed OF
such men as Mark Hanna that pur-
posely left out of the platform adopted,
every allusion to that which was pro-
mulgated by the leaders of Republican
ism in years gone by?

sumner
It was not for nothing that the Sugar
Trust had the duty kept up in the Ding
ley tariff If it were not for that, Ger
man sugar might undersell the home pro-
duct now. The price of raw sugar is
high Ats cents a pound. The price of
refined sugar has been advanced to s
cents. or $40 net. margin of one cent
and four hundredths on pound.
1t was never claimed, even in the tariff
hearings, that the cost of refining sugar
is more than half a cent pound. and it
is generally conceded to be very much
less. Even this would leave a profit on
the present price of "a cents on a hum

put of 10000 barrels. This foots up some
$50, 10000 a year. low estimate of the
profits of the Sugar Trust.
The duty on refined sugar is IS cents
on hundred pounds. This is certainly
double the cost of refining. and when
freights and other charges are added to
foreign sugars, it enables the Trust to
advance the price in spite of all the
boosted economics of production, up to
the highest point reached in nine years
past.

without noticeable merit or popularity.
The ticket as a whole may he looked
upon by Democrats with complacency
if not indifference. A majority of the
people will not be favorably impressed
by either candidates or platform.
The platform, as is usual with Ne
publican party declarations, claims
credit for everything good in the
the waters under the earth. Every
fructifying influence is due to the tenn
porary preponderance of Republican
ism and to the presence of Mckinley
in the White House, with Mark Hanna
behind him to guide and direct The
opening of West Virginia mines and
the drilling of West Virginia oil wells,
to tap the wealth secreted in the earth
by Nature against time of need are
credited to Republican benefcence,
while the growing crops, the increase
Of the herds and the coming of chill
dren are dependent upon the same
semi-divine influence. According to
the platform, were it not for Repub-
licanism the land would be an arid
waste, the arts would languish, man
ufactures fail, the springs dry up, the
crops run short, and the jackal would
prowl amid the ruins of cities and the
wolf howl in the deserted house of the
farmer. And this is the sort OF rot
which is expected to win votes for the
party of high taxes, Imperialism, boss

THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

Out of turmoil, disorderly conduct,
plots and counter-plots, factional
fights and dirty work, the Republican
party, in Convention assembled at
Charleston, has named ticket which
has no particular strength and which
will not command ordinary respect.
1t does not represent the masses of
the party, and promises nothing for
the majority of the people. 1t is the
work of a Convention dominated by
influences the reverse of popular, and
a programme prepared in advance was
carried out by few past masters in
politics whose influence was sufficient
to control the situation.
BY virtue of methods and circum-
stances not worth relating A. B. White
was foreordained to be the candidate
for Governor. The best and worst to
be said about him is that he is an
urbane gentleman, well known
throughout the State, to whom politics
is both trade and profession, ana
who knows to perfection every turn
and twist, and is familiar with every
device. He has the Republican State
bosses behind him, but not the popu-
lar sentiment.
Arnold G. Scherr, the nominee for
Auditor, is simply the choice of a fac
ton. He won by one hundred votes
over James K. Hall, but 517 delegates
out of total of 1854 did not want
him. and his plurality was but IS.
The Elkins influence forced him
through beyond doubt, and that
political power will be behind him
during the campaign. His margin was
too narrow to make impressive tie
claim that he is the choice of the
party.

ceived the nomination for Attorney

THE IDENTICAL NOTE.

Chinese Minister to the United States
Wa Ting Fang has transmitted to the
State Department at Washington a
copy of an identical note, cabled from
China, and purporting to come from
the Imperial government. This note
is long, and it deplores and explains,
recites and hopes, promises and re-
grets. Mr.. WI thinks it is all right,
Secretary Hay is inclined to accept it
at its face value but others are skep-
tical. There are. apparently, several
Chinese governments at the present
time. There is the clement still sway
ed by the Dowager Empress, the fac
ton headed by Prince Tuan, the adher-
eEts of the young Emperor, and the
ccnfederacy OF southern Viceroys,
among whom Ii Hung Chang is the
ruling spirit. From which of these did
this cablegram eminate. No one
knows At the most it can represent
but one element of the Chinese-which
one is mere matter of guess. That it
came from Pekin is scarcely to be cred
tied, for if it did there must be some
route for communication, and if there
is one why are not the foreign min
listers, if alive allowed to use it? If
ii came from the south it merely rep
resents the conservative element of the
nation; If from the Emperor it pre-
sents the views of helplessness and
impotency; if from the Dowager EN-
press it is to be discredited. But from
whatever source it came, it is artful
and discreetly worded, and may. for
some time, impose upon credusity.
Really it is subject to heavy discount,
and should cause no cessation in the
preparations of the powers, for mean
while the little army at Tien Tsin and
Taku is liable to be overwhelmed.
The work of relief should be fastened
before it is everlastingly too late.

Eycned Up an Old Score By Secur-

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 12.-
The man who contributed as much or
probably more than any one else to
the result of the auditorial contest was
ex-Congressman c. P. Dorr. 1t was
probably the greatest effort Of DORIS
life. However, the object of his efforts
in this case may not be considered al
together worthy one. His main OBJ
ject in this fight was to defeat James
K. Hall. He has been laying for"
Hall ever since the Republican State
convention was held at Fairmont last
May to elect delegates to the national
convention.
1t had not occurred to Dorr before
reaching the convention to be can
didate for one of the delegates-at-larg
to the national convention, but he
found he could win it with half of the
Ohio county delegation, which was
generously offered him by Mr. Hall.
1t appears that Mr.. Hall felt safe in
offering Dorr half of Ohios vote, as
he thought the ex-Congressman had
not the slightest chance to win. When
the vote was taken it appeared that
Dorr had a majority and then it is
said that Hall tried to induce other
county delegations to change from
Dorr to Dana, of Kanawha.
Not succeeding in this, he changed
Ohio county's entire vote to Dana and
left Dorr in the lurch. Dana was nom
mated instead of Dorr and the latter
went down to the Ohio delegation, so
it is said, and told Mr. Hall that his
treachery to him would be avenged.
that it was the worst political blunder
that he ever committed in all his lie.
Dorr bided his time and wher Hall
! became candidate for Auditor, Dorr
knew his time had come. He took OFF
his coat figuratiyely, and literally
swore before high heaven that James
K. Hall would never be auditor of
West Virginia
How well he kept his oath the votes
in the convention to-day proves
Probably it is too much to say THAI
Scherr would not have been nominated
| in any event, but it is conceded that
Dorr was one his most astute anG
shrewd managers and held the vote Of
many county delegations for Seherr
that probably no one else could have
| held.
Dorr is happy tonight because he
has succeeded in settling an old score.
The Ohio county delegation did lit
tie in the line Of revenge to-day when
1t started out to defeat E. P. Rucker
for the denomination to the Attorney
Generalship. Rucker had not only
voted his own county, Mcdowell,
against Hall, but had induced other
| delegations to do so. AS soon as the
nomination for Auditor had been made
the Ohio county delegation unsheathed
their blades and made lunge for
Fuckers scalp and they came back with
it dangling at their BELTS

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
THE EXPECTED HAPPENED.

And so Arnold G. Scherr, OF the
county OF Mineral, defeated James X
Hall, Of the county of Ohio, by an
even one hundred votes.
The expected has happened. But
reader of the Daily Intelligencer
did have suspected it?
We have been assured by the Intel
ligencer, through correspondence, tele-
grams, communications local and edi-
torial, that Mr.. Hall was sweeping
through the State in triumph, carrying
everything before him, and that his
nomination was certain and his sub
scarcely mentioned, and when he was
it was simply in casual manner, like
the illusions to Swisher and Lafollette.
Mr.. Hall was the real thing and the
sure winner, according to the Intelli-
gencer, and this programme was kept
up to. the last We were told how
Hall had captured this and that county
delegation, and that throughout the
length and breadth of the State the
people were singing his praises and in
structing their delegations for him.
The Scherr side of the situation could
rot be heard from; it was all Hail.
The fIntelligencer treated Scherr as it
did John A. Campbell and Romeo H.
Frser--it gave him no show. In the
case of Campbell and Freer its tactics
we're successful, but in the matter of
