A Time-worn Cry.

One Of the pleas made for the nominal
ton of Miller. of Summers county, for
auditor at the Parkersburg convention
was his ability to prevent "one-legged
niggers" from voting. This eminent
qualification OF Mr.. killer was cited by
Col. Joe Chiffon, and 1t is supposed that
Miller will now enter upon the work of
attempting 10 dlsfranohise and intimi-
date the negro voting population in the
southern portion Of the state. The col
ored vote has been harped on in every
campaign in this state by the demoral-
ICED Democracy until It has become
well nigh worn out. But the Damo-
cracy does not stop bulldozlng the col
ored voter In the last election the par
ty under the direction OF McGraw made
a direct assault on the ballot box, and
succeeded in vitiating the election Of
several Republican members OF the leg
islature. We must judge the future by
the past and be prepared to meet these
game tactics In the approaching cleo
ton, for the Democracy is much more
desperate, and as the knight OF the
Purple Pencil" is in the saddle again
the same debauchery Of thu ballot and
the attempted notification of the will OF
the people will be certain to be resorted
to.
Even the nominee for governor. the
representative of this element OF the
Democratic party in this state, was
eager the other day to voice this same
policy OF intimidation. when hesaid in the
course Of an interview that consider
able attention will be paid to the antiei-
pated attempt to run in Illegal voters
among the miners, and none who are
not entitled to vote will be permitted to
do SO" That is very delicate way Of
putting it. but however they may dis
gulse their intention the Democracy
will fool no one but themselves.
The counting out of General Con has
not been so long ago that the people Of
the state have forgotten how 1t was ac-
complished, and the Democracy of West
Virginia might as well settle down to
the conviction that such 4 proceeding
will never be permitted again. Such
inIquIty is uow left to shameless Ken
lucky; West Virginia will have none OF
it, no matter how well qualified Mr.. MIL
Ter may be for the task.

HuRhes Nominated.

The Fourth district Republican Con-
gressional convention, at PIT. Pleasant,
yesterday. nominated ex-state Senator
James A. Hughes. of Huntington, but
this was not accomplished until five
ballots had been taken. His opponents
were Hon. Romeo H. Freer and Senator
Harry woodward, of Roane. There had
been so many equivocal announcements
with reference to Mr.. Freer's candidacy
that he did not go into the convention
with the strength he might have COM
manded.
The convention was the largest of its
character held in the district. and the
enthusiasm was unbounded. The nomi-
nee has been a faithful party man, and
deserved the honor that has been be-
slowed on him. He is a good organizer,
and gentleman who will attract all
the votes that can be obtained from the
opposite party. The Fourth district
convention. all things considered, has
made a wise decision and a popular
nomination.

derwriters generally will not have had
an opportunity to carefully weigh the
radical changes proposed, and cannot
therefore be Ia 4 position to decide the
question at the Forthcoming conven-
ton. This. OF course, means Ielay and
increases the chance OF the who'll move
ment becoming abortive. Officers Of
FIRE insurance companies feel that II the
scheme is to succeed It will do so
promptly. and that If the agreement
does not secure the necessary adherents
at once 1t might well be put aside, as
while in an unsettled condition it sim
ply blocks those who would press local
and sectional organization to take Wig
orous measures to reduce the loss on
the fire business"

amendment attempted to accomplish
the thing all at one sweep. and as a
result we have got this work ali TO do
over again.
IF the Republicans carry the next
Congress by a majority at all approach
ing that they have in the present one
they will undoubtedly take up the Ques-
ton OF the apportiOnment under the
census now being compiled in the spirit
Indicated In this interview. And the
sober opinion Of the north will look on
the matter In a mood very different
from that excited by the bloody shirt

A Cowardly Accusation.

The statement issued by Governor
Stephens, of Missouri. with regard to
the street car strike in st. Louis, and
sent broadcast over the land, is most
dastardly attempt to shift responsible
ty, and give the affair a political turn
by blaming the continuance Of the dis
order on the Republican mayor Of st.
Louis. It was cowardly thing to do.
but Democrat, 1t seems, was equal to
the occasion.
The facts Of the case are the opposite.
The governor Of Missouri is the respon-
sible party. 1t is well known that St.
Louis is Republican city. but unfortu-
nately IT is in Democratic state, and
to rob the Republicans of their Just
powers. the Democratic legislature pro-
vided for a partisan police board. which
was appointed by this same governor
who tries to throw the blame on the
Republican mayor. Appalled, by the in
efficiency of his partisan board the gov
ernor attempts to place the blame for
the instruction where it in nowIse be-
longs.

1t is with feelings of profound regret

JOY and great pleasure that beg leave
to announce my withdrawal from the

pal election for the office of City Mar
shall of Brookhaven. Sorrow at the
thought of severing my otficirl connec,

to be able to say that during my term

sors that not one word has passed be
tween us that would have given offense
to or incurred the displeasure of the
most renowned lady of the land
Having been honored by the good
people of Brookhaven for the past six
teen years with the office of City Mar
shall, it is but proper that | should in
some way express to them manifesto
lions of my appreciation of their loyal

method of thanking them, one and all,
not only for the high honors bestowed
upon M, bat for their prompt al

tenance of law aud order and the sup.
preston of crime.
There can be no good an | efficient

healthy moral support to back it,
This am proud to say have had. lam

GRADED PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The Session of 10OO-I0O1 Opened Mon
day Under Auspicious Circumstances.
The Public School had an suspicious
opening on Monday. The multitude
of bright young faces was an inspiring
sight to teachers and visitors Prof.
Scott, whose first term as principal of
the Brookhaven School has inst be-
gun, opened the term by inviting Rev.
T. n. Compton, the visiting evangelist,
to conduct religious exercises. This
was succeeded by very appropriate and
practical remarks from Prof. Scott,
who much regretted the absence of pa
irons who, however, were amply rep
resented by their children. If, in
Brookhaven, there are any "old women
who live in a shoe, and have so
many children they don't know what
to do, they send them to the Public
School, and that by the time they are
well on their feet; for they know they
will be safe in the hands of the best
primary teacher in the State, Miss
Florence Atkins, who "whips them all
soundly" only when circumstances
Justify the extreme penalty. After
the principals well chosen admonitions
to parents and patrons, he callen upon
the editor of THE LEADER, who occupied
the attention Of his audience for few
moments in brief address. Rev. Il.
n. Compton followed in very pleas
ing manner, and entertained as we'll as
instructed both children and older
ones present. The different grades
were then assigned their various apart.
ments and the session of 1900 1901 had
begun in earnest.
The new members of the faculty are
Miss Bonnie Dunn, Miss Annie Burns,
Miss Sarah Holt and Mrs C. b. Niece
hee, the latter serving as supernumer-
airy. The number of pupils present at
the opening was 30.
In another column will be found the
arrangement of grades, rules, text
books, etc, which will be found to be
of especial interest to the patrons of
the school,
