DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
MIR. SCOTT ALARMED.

Senator and General Manager N. B.
Scott, of this city, is credited with
statements which Enthusiastically indi-
cate that he sees a good deal of trouble
ahead for his party, particularly in
the Eeastern States. in the approach
ing campaign.
After admitting that New York is
not safe for Mckinley, and that Mary
land and New Jersey are doubtful, the
Senator says:
what the leading issue will be in New
York cannot say. If l had my way we
would meet the Democrats squarely on
the tariff issue"
This is rather a remarkable state
ment, coming from any Republican
leader. We should have assumed that
the money issue would be the thing in
New York. Why should the Senator
pick out the tariff issue for that par
ticular State? Has some change come
over the spirit of the people over East,
that the gold-bug. doctrine should be
laid aside and the high protective tax
numbug substituted for it? What's
the matter wiz meeting the imperial
issue in the home State of that glorious
exponent of milltarism, Teddy Roose-
welt? Or why not make the Empire
State issue "squarely" upon the SUBJ
lime, unprecedented and unparalleled
craftsmanship, the popular policies and
the general mignificence of William
Mcnlnley? The tariff issue appears to
be rather tame, under the circum-
stances. and indicates that Senator
Scott at least would be glad to escape
from a few things. and bark up the
wrong tree.

Rooseve1t's vituperation.

Richmond Dispatch
In recent speech before the Repub-
lican clubs of Milwaukee, Colonel
Roosevelt, Republican candidate for
Vice President of the United States,
said that "they (the Democrats) stand
for lawlessness and disorder, for dis
honesty and dishonor, for license and
disaster at home, and cowardly
shrinking from duty abroad"
Had this language been used by an
ordinary stumper, the American people
could afford to pass it by with con-
tempt, as an Incorporate, foolish, and
harmless aspersion of some 100000 or
100000 voters, who have shown
themselves as true and devoted to
their country as the party Colonel
Roosevelt represents. They could
afford to dismiss it as a SANDER that
missed their name
And hit the woundless air.
and pity the speaker for making such
spectacle of himself.
But Colonel Roosevelt is not an or
binary stumper, and considering his
relations to the American people his
vituperation should give the masses
serious pause. Should the Republican
presidential ticket be elected there
would be only one life between this
man and the presidency. The people
should remember that Colonel Roose-
welt has arraigned the Democrats in
the above violent and vindictive fash
ion because they do not favor the
strenuous life of which he is the
most extreme and pronounced expon-
ent-because they are opposed to i'm
perialism, militarism, involving the
country in entangling alliances, and
ignoring the principles and doctrines
that ere the foundation stones of re-
publican institutions. They should
reason, as they would be justified in
doing, that a man in Colonel Roose-
velt's position who lets his tongue run
riot as he does, and who has never
qualified his championship of a revo-
lutionary policy, would, were it in his
power, carry out such policy at any
cost. And they should ask themselves
the question whether, even were Mr..
Mckinley not inoculated with the
virus of Imperialism, it would not be
crime to take the chances of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's becoming his sue
| cessor?
The name of Roosevelt on the Re-
publican presidential ticket compounds
the danger to the country involved in
Republican success, and emphasizes
the obligation TO defeat the ticket duty
and patriotism place upon the voters.

Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July %
The county ticket nominated by the
Democracy of Kanawha yesterday is
an exceptionally strong one. Every
man named on it is a tower of strength
and has demonstrated his popu-
larity before the people in former cleo
tions. Ex-Governor w. A. MacCorkle
heads the legislative ticket. Mac
Corkle's strength with all classes of
people in Kanawha, his indomitable
will, his pluck and perseverance will
insure his election by safe majority
Next to him is Adam B. Littlepage,
who ran for prosecuting attorney eight
years ago and came within thirty
seven votes of being elected when the
county was Republican by $500 major
ity. The next is Judge W. s. Lewis,
who Is engaged in an extensive lum-
Der business and employs nearly a
thousand men, every one of whom will
vote for him, even though the major
ity of them are Republicans. BY his
generous treatment of the laborers
and mechanics in his employment he
among the laboring men of the county
and they will generally support him.
The fourth name on the legislative
ticket is himself laboring man-John
E. Burks, coal miner-and will carry
the miners vote solidly, although
nine-tenths of them are Republican.
For prosecuting attorney they nom
mated that splendid political leader.
Joseph e. Chiffon, whom nearly every
voter In Kanawha county claims as his
personal friend, and whose magnetism
is irresistible.
The balance of the ticket is equally
strong, each man being distinguished
for his ability to discharge the duties
of the Office for which he is nominated
and also for his ability to get votes.
At least two thousand Republicans
have bolted their county ticket and
will not vote for the Republican nomi-
nees under any consideration. The
majority of the Republicans of Kan
awha who were cheated out of their
choice for county officers by the party
bosses, by counting out the peoples
candidates and then burning the bal
lots so that recount could not be had
are now determined to down the ring
by voting for and electing the Demo-
cratic ticket. This, they say, is the
only way open to them to get the
control of the Republican party out of
the hands of ring of half dozen
perpetual oficeholders, who dominate
the party for their personal benefit.
In addition to the benefit the Demo-
cratic candidates will derive from the
bolt among the Republicans, the bust
ness men and large taxpayers Of the
county generally will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket this year, as a matter of
self-protection against the gang that
has mismanaged the county's affairs
for long time.
There are good grounds for the be-
lief, generally expressed, that Kama
wha county will go Democratic this
year by two thousand majority.

While ..Anti-Imperialism" and Anti

racy and Prosperity and Expansion
that of the Republicans in the pending
political conflict. yet there must be no
denying the fact that the great question
to be passed upon by the patriotic, think
ing American voters at the November
election is, whether they prefer to have
William Jennings Bryan or Mark Hanna.
to administer the affairs of our govern
ment for the next four years, from March
4th, 1901.
OF course, the horde of federal office
holders who are to remain in office should
Mckinley be reelected, and the purchas-
able voters of our country, are not to be
counted when making these suggestions.
They will be found voting and working
for the retention in power of the present
administration.
No unprejudiced, thinking voter will at
tempt to deny that Mark Hanna has die
tated and will continue to dictate each
and every policy inaugurated by McKin-
ley during his occupancy of the Presiden-
tial chair, and no one who has taken
the pains to investigate the personality
of Mr.. Bryan will find any Justification
to lead to the conclusion that he will be
subservient to any person or interest not
in harmony with the public good.
Let the truth be emphasized, that the
honest American voters will be called up
on to choose between Bryan and Mark
Hanna. VOTER.

These gentlemen merited about $130, 900

on several other issues as well, and a
choice will not be left to Senator Scott
That the Senator realizes there are
rough times ahead is very probable. He
says the Chicago headquarters of the
Republican party will have an easy
job compared with his, ami generally
intimates that the East is going to be
the chief battle ground The Senator
is deceived into taking a merely local
view because he happens to be in the

battle ground is going to be all over the

Northwest and West as well as in the
East, and the Democracy will soon be
