gladly accepted. as an organized enort
will be made this year to keep the streets
clear during the passing of the parade.
The fireworks committee is looking for
a place where its display can best be
made. Sites in every part OF the city
have been suggested, but each have been
objected to by residents of other sections.
1t was even suggested to divide the dis
play. but this Is not likely to be serious
iy considered as IL would make 1t less
impressive What is needed is an open
space accessible to car lines. with plenty
of space for rocket sticks and the smells
of bombs TO fan without fear of accident
to the spectators.
The parade committee learned late yes
terday afternoon that 1t would al least be
able TO secure enough OF the Washington
volunteers to make a novel street dis-
play. This will consist Of contingent OF
soldiers, who viii be apparently coming
from a sortie with n number OF f1iippino
prisoners. All OF the costumes for this
feature are Mt present available II pos
sible members OF the First Washington
will be used in the representation.

Saturdays Convention.

The convention of Ohio county Re-
publicans that gathered at the city
building Saturday afternoon TO name
four candidates for the house OF dele
gates and nominate q county engineer,
was an assemblage to be proud Of. In
appearance 1t excelled any political
gathering ever brought together in this
county. TO look into the faces Of those
lslxty-seven men impelled the thought
that the convention need 20 no farther
in Its search for good legislative timber
nearly every member who sat there as
a delegate being himself we'll qualified to
sit in the house OF delegates ut Charles

n The ticket has the unqualified en-
dorsement OF the Republicans OF Ohio
county, and is OF such widely recog-
nlzed excellence that 1t will receive the
votes OF those Democrats who would
like to see the county have genuine
representation ut Charleaton.

Bry,,apn,,s, , Invasion.

The trembling hopes OF Col. John r.
McGraw must have received a severe
Jolt In the, last few days, and he must,
have been brought to a realization Of the
fact that with all the aid Of his Midas
congressional nominees he will have
some very rough shedding to capture
the legislature, by which he expects
Ito be apotheosized and wear senatorial
halo. The sudden call for Bryan to
come over into Macedonia and help
him bears out these reflections. and Il
Will be a matter OF interest to know
on Just what lines the Apostle OF Ca
lamity will TALK Senator Scott In an
interview published in another column
presumes that he will. give US the best
he has In shop about Imperialism.
This may be true. and we trust 1t Is,
for II there is anything the people OF
West Virginia like to eat for break
fast, dinner and supper. 1t Is "lmperI-
alism." We have been thriving on 1t
so well for the past three years, and
as our appetite is not yet dulled, there
would be objection to continuing It
on the bill of fare.
But what Mr.. Bryan may have to say
to US will be carefully avoided in other
sections. AS Senator German would
say, imperialism is hardly relative us
a paramount issue. 1t is rather geo.
graphical Or, as the Washington
Times puts 1t: ~ s
Mr. William Jennings Bryan, facing
towards the west:
II tell You, my good friends. the para
mount issue Of the day is the free coin
age OF silver. It must come. 1t is the
republics only hope Of salvation"
The same William Jennings Bryan,
facing toward the east:
We still stand by our principles OF
four years ago, but new questions have
arisen. The blood OF American soldiers
is on our hands. Away with imperi-
alism." Z
This is merely for accommodatIcE's
sake. 1t would be really mean to leave
one. side Of the country without bogy
man at which to howl Now you can
take your choice.

BRYAN's INVASION
Of West Virginia and the East, and
What it Means.

q II :
What it Means.
New York Nah and Express: Bryan's
sudden announcement that he purposes
coming east, and that he will invade
West Virginia, making three days
stumping tour In that state, will cause
the battle to wage fiercely there, for the
Republican managers will make every
effort to Offset the Bryan attack. West
Vlrginia's Importance; in the pending
campaign is fully appreciated by both
parties. West Virginia is one OF the
doubtful states, upon which the result
of the election will turn. Therefore, the
Republican managers are not surprised
that Mr.. Bryan should plan to capture
the state, and they said at headquar-
tiers. to-day that they will give him one
of the stiffest fights there that he has
ever seem
Senator Nathan B. Scott, chief Of the
speakers bureau OF the Republican ma
tional committee, is West Virglnian,
and veteran campalgner. When seen
to-day he admitted that his state Is re-
garded as. a most important battle
ground by Republicans and Democrats
alike. He said:
This Is not only because II Is one of
the doubtful states. upon which the
general result largely depends. but also
because Its action will necessarily ex-
ert great Influence on its sister states
OF the south In the future, especially
such states as Maryland, Delaware.
Kentucky and Tennessee. 1t Is not
surprising, therefore, that Mr.. Bryan
should do his best to make an Impress
Ion In his favor there.
1T Is not stated which Of his para.
mount Issues he Will push to the front
In West Virginia. but the chances are
thta 1t Will be the imperiallstic one.
The prospect Of an extinction OF their
present prosperity by, the adoption OF
a silver standard will not appeal very
forcibly to the miners and other work
ers OF West Virginia who have been so
signally benefited by the policy Of the
Mckinley administration. It would not
be surprising II the result of his prose-
lyting tour In that state should prove
as much Of n disappointment to Mr..
Bryan as has his recent trip to Kansas.
where. ever since his visit, the air has
been full OF denunclntions and renun-
Citations Of the Democratic ticket by

OF the numerous Democratic OBJECTIONS

United States Fish Commissioner
George NJ. Bowers. OF West Virginia,
was at headquarters to-day on his re-
turn from a visit to the twenty-six
government hatcheries. He sdld he
had had a chance to learn much about
the condition OF the country. and he
thought that the outlook was hopeful.
especially on the Pacific coast. He said
that West Virginia is quite prosperous
this year and nearly all kinds OF in
dustry are booming. West Virginia
people are disposed TO sustain the ad-
ministrntion on Its record. The Demo-
Gratis have so gerrymnndered the state.
however, that 1t may be possible TO

the electoral vote goes TO Mckinley. A
majority OF the state senator's who hold
over are Democrats. But the prospects

good.
