The Republican party should be careful
in making its nominations in this State.
No man should be placed on the ticket
who will tend to make the contest doubt
fu. Especially here in Berkeley no man
should be loaded on to us for Congress
who the old soldiers and leaders will not
support. That thing was done two years
ago, and we lost every man on our ticket.
This year it looks as though the same
thing might occur again. There IS no ex-
cuse for such politics. Our county must not
be placed in the position Of being COM
PEELED TO vote for a man who openly de-
clared in a letter to coIored voter OF
this city,tha Berkeley County Republicans
should be chastened, and that nothing
would be done for them, until they re-
deemed themselves. That was ridiculous
language to be used by a man who was
directly responsible for the loss Of Berke-
ley county in 1893. The voters here are
NOT fools, and they recollect and will re-
sent such insults, every time.

Mountain Grove, Mo. April 2r-(By
Associated Press a rural literary
debate here last night, the subject, Re-
solved that Democratic principles are con-
trary to the laws of God, was handled in
the affirmative by William Finch in such
a manner that a negative debater hurled a
chair at Flnchs head. The chair struck
one OF the judges, dislodging three of the
latter's teeth. This so enraged the judges
that they closed the contest summary,
giving the affirmative side the decision.
A general fight ensued, in which one
Judge had his nose broken, another judge
suffered a fractured rib, and two of the
negative debaters sustained broken limbs. -

Hon. Mathew Stanley Quay was not
seated in the Senate last week. He was
defeated by one vote. 1t is only a tenn
porary defeat, however, for the people of
his State will return him again, when the
Pennsylvania legislature meets again.
Quay is 100 per cent better and nobler
than the little swapping ours, barking at
his heels. He is loyal Republican, and
even the treachery of Mark Hanna does
not cause him to feel resentment. This is
what he had to say about the action of
Senate
This is no time for revenge, as some
people are suggesting. We have ma
tional campaign before us, and there is
much at stake. If there is any spirit of re-
venge, it is on the other side. The Re-
publican party of Pennsylvania cannot be
diverted from its principles or its purposes
by such experiences as we have mad in
the Senate. The administration has been
excellent. 1t has fulfilled all pledges of
the platform of 1896, and done more.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania will
give William Mckinley, the choice of the
delegation of which have the honor to
be member, a record-breaking majority,

gregate Republican majorities of many of
the States whose Senators voted to de-

taken, for if silver is dead as the pro-

they would use every effort to have him

IL BRYAN Were President

Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan both
favor legislation against the trusts. But
Mr.. Mckinley let's the laws we have
against the trusts rest idly on the shelf
Mr. Bryan would enforce them. Congress
is talking about abolishing the postal
deficit by taxing cheap literature. IfMr.
Bryan were President he would leave
Congress nothing to do in that direction
he would abolish the deficit himself by
revising the contracts that bleed the Gov
ernment for the profit of the transporta-
ton companies.
If Mr.. Bryan were President he would
not sell Government building to bank,
leave the money in the bank S vaults and
pay $I3o, 900 year for the use of it, and
retain title in the Government for the
purpose of enabling the bank to evade its
taxes.
If Mr., Bryan were President he would
not pour millions of public money into
the Golfers of banks that claimed the use
of it on the ground that their officers had
rendered him important political services.
He would not give corporation a mo,
nopoly Of the Cuban cable service. He
would not allow the influence of political
and official rings to impair the efficiency
of the army. He would not turn the
public service over to men like Hanna,
