Ho Wim be Elected.

From the Pnrkersburg Sentinel.
The Journal warns the Republi-
cans that there is great danger of
the election of Greed Collins, and
urges it's party not to underestim-
ate his strength as candidate. In
fact the journal goes SO far that a
reader between the lines can see
that it practically comedies the
election of Mr.. Collins and that it
is preparing soft place on which
to fall when the inevitable hap
pens. That he is strong cam
paigner has been demonstrated by
his successful contest for the HON
ination, and that he has the assist
ance of shrewd and experienced
political managers is we'll known.
In addition to these elements OF
strength Mr.. Collins personality is
such as to enable him to make a
vote getting campaign that will
surprise his enemies and please his
friends. His opponent is notori-
ously weak candidate, though a
most excellent gentleman. The
Machine ridden Republicans are
tired of the kind of candidate max
ing politics that tend to disgust
and humiliate. In foreoasting the
election of Mr. Collins the Journal
unwittingly comedies truth that
need not be discounted. The 4th
district is tired of misrepresenta-
ton and it will return Democrat
to Congress this year, re-instating
itself in the party fold, where it
properly belongs.

MIR. BROWN ACCEPTS
The UnSOught Nomination for State
Senator.


lie Clearly Defines His Position.
RAvENswoOD, w. VA, Aug. s.
Hon. Holly G.. Armstrong, j. N. Bur
dett and o. Depue, Committee on Not
ification, sc.
Gentlemen: l have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your favor
conveying to me official notification
of my unanimous nomination as can
didate for State Senator in this Sena-
toriaI district on the democratic ticket.
This nomination, as you are aware
was unsought by me, wholly uneX-
pected and made during my absence
from home. had been requested by
influential citizens of both political
parties to allow my name to be used
in connection with the nomination,
but had declined to do SO. This de
clination was based in part, on the
fact that had represented the peo-
pie in the House of Delegates in 1888,
and ats State Senator in 1885 and 1887;
and, felt, that term of six consec-
utive years in the legislature of West
Virginia ought to satisfy the ambt-
ton of any imam pleased with such
honors, and ought to afford sufficient
sacrifice of time and means to satisfy
party obligations. The public records
will disclose the part took in those
sessions of the legislature, and good
taste forbids a reference to my acts
and achievements therein further
than to show that it is not because of
ill.success as such representative that
Il Il i, to- nj
office as matter of voluntary choice.
a more important consideration with
me than all others, is the fact, that my
ambition now is, and for several years
past has been, to be IL respectable,
sober and useful private citizen, de-
voting my time, attention and means
to the Improvement of the locality III
which live or have property, pro
noting the great cause of agriculture
and grazing, and carefully eschewing
what is known as practical politics
with all the words imply. The graft
tication of this ambition would be tC
me greater honor in true and
proper sense than to occupy the seat
of my friend Hon. Nathan Ii. Scott
in the United States Senate, and draw
the large salary incident to the lordly
and exalted position, and do nothing
more while holding the office than tC
fill postofIices and other federal offices
with my personal henchmen, and is
sue instructions to them how best tc
subserve my personal glory and per
petuate me in that Office by the use OF
their little newspapers and other in
nuences. Prejudice, political or re
ligious, is and always has been the
greatest bane in the world.
Unfortunately we are not sufficient
ly evolved out of it. Still, is n graft
flying assurance that we have, in this
district, large number of intelligent
and independent personalities whose
votes are not controlled by conven
tions packed by and at the expense
of u. s. Senators in Washington and
by the federal office holders and 9th
j er official parasites and political

quently the petty office holder) is the
smallest and most contempt eof our
species. 1t will be consolation to
me personally to know Gin the event
your nomination of me is not ratified
at the polls) that did not seek this
office, did not spenda cent to buy or
pay the expenses of a single delegate
to the convention; that the honor was
wholly unsolicited and that every
vote which may be cast for me, If any,
was cast solely on my merits as a man
and not because was the tool of
some millionaire who purchased my
nomination and sought to buy my
election to promote his own unscru'
pulous and selfish ambition.
Thanking you for your courtesy
and with assurances of my esteem,
am yours truly,
CHARI,HS i. BROWN.

A strong Candidate.

From the Wheeling Register.
The nomination of Creed Collins
as the Democratic candidate for
Congersss in the Fourth District is
a happy one, and he will receive
not only the undivided support of
his party, but the votes of many
independent and conservative Re-
publicans as we'll, and will carry off
the prize beyond doubt Mr..
Collins is straight out Democrat,
standing fair and true with his
party, is on all our tours with it's
platform and policies, and yet he
will command the support of a
large conservative clement outside
of strict party lines. He is a cap
able, earnest and conscientious
man, one who has the interests of
the people at heart and his candi-
dacy will not only win the widest re-
spect, but we'll nigh universal sup
port, His name on the Fourth
District ticket will appeal with pc
culiar force to the voters of this
section of tho State, and his tri-
umphant election is among the as
sured things of the coming cam
paign. The Fourth District Dem
ooratic convention did we'll in nam,
ing Mr.. Collins, although there was
a splendid field to choose from.

his denunciation of Bryan, in 1896,
is now out with an open letter, in

any civilized country was ever be-
set
"Edwin f. Walker, Secretary of
the Young MEMS Republican club,

dent Mckinley has shown that he
cannot be trusted to do his plain
duty, 1 hope and believe he will
not be reelected to position
where he can continue to substi-

Have to watch Him.

From the State Journal, CRep.)
1t will not do for the Republi-
cans to underrate this Mr. Collins
The ability to wear a swallow tail
coat, and drink champagne and
make fine speeches, may be want
ing, but hard horse sense, discre-
ton, and habit of knocking down
votes, may count for good deal,
The man from Ritchie has likely
made some enemies by the rude
hay-seed, oil field style of getting a
nominationifrom candidate who
thought he had cinch on the af-
fair, but outside of this he has no
particular back number feuds to
overcome.
In fact, Mr.. Collins, of Richie,
while not an orator like Brutue
was, or even like Romeo Freer is,
is rather slick article. He will
have to be watched He is liable
to slip around and get votes. 1t is
votes that elect in the main in
West Virginia. Mr. Collins is
noted for entertaining this Wow of
the matter. He is likely to go after
votes in coaxing and alluring
way. If there are any lying loose,
to- be had for the getting, by the
gtotter who gets after them the
sooner, he will find them. MIR.
Collins is fond of securing big
vote for himself, and he is dead set
on breaking into Congress. Let
him be watched

wnen Ereer Was Right.

From the ST. Marys Oracle.
Creed Collins was madeIthe stan
dard bearer of the Democracy of
the Fourth Congressional District
by the convention at Huntington
on Wednesday. Mr.. Collins is q
man who keeps abreast of the
times, both in business and in pol
itios, and the manner in which he
hustled for the nomination is an
evidence of what he will do to the
Republican nominee when he gets
after him in earnest Mr.. Hughes
will find foeman worthy of his
steel, and all the assistance he can
receive from the bosses will fail,t
secure his election. Mr.. Collins is
an organizer, as is shown by the
canvass he made during the brief
time he was in the race; besides, he
has an en- enthusiastic Democracy
to back him up. Judge Freer was
right when he said the next Con-
gresham would be from Ritchie

From the Lincoln Citizen.
Creed Collins will relieve James
A. Hughes of any embarrassment
in the way of being ineligible to
hold the office of Congressman, on
account of foreign birth. Mr. Col.
Inns is native and will receive suf-
ficient votes to entitle him to the
seat. Don't worry over Jimmie's
foreign lineage.

Tide Turning Toward Bryan.
"The most striking and signi-
ficant evidence of,the disintegra-
ton which is taking place in the
Republican party" says Senator
Jones, sis the great number of able
and reputable men of National
prominence who are leaving that
party and joining the ranks of
Bryan men. Scarcely day passes
without the accession to the DEM
ocratio forces of some Republican
leader of National repute. Those
who have not made a special note
of this feature of the campaign will
be immensely surprised if a full
list of prominent boilers is pre-
sented. For instance, l myself can
name the following:
"Judge O, L. Holtz, one of the
leaders of the COMMUNICATIONS
of Cleveland. He has been q life
long Republican and power in
the party, He will take the stump
in his State for Bryan.
"Charles M. Stafford, promi-
nent New York lawyer and United
States marshal under Cleveland,
stayed away from the polls four
years ago because he distrusted
Bryan. He is out with the an
nouncement this moment that he
considers Bryan the greatest man
America has produced since Lin
coin, and he will take the stump in
Bryan's behalf,
"Charles p. Bason, law partner
of Senator David B. Hill, voted for
Mckinley in 1896, but will sup
port Bryan.
"George Fl. Hillman, of Mount
Holly, N. j., voted for Palmer and
Buckner four years ago, will vote
for Bryan.
"Judge Thomas A, Moran, of
Chicago. who supported Palmor
and Buokner in 1896, is now out
for Bryan and Stevenson, and ne
says the Gold Democrats generally
will support Bryan this year.
"Sigmund Ziesler, lawyer of
Chicago, who'stumped for McKin-
ley four years ago, is out for Bryan,
and will take the platform for him.
John p. Hopkins, former mayor
and Gold Democrat, of Chicago,
announces that he is in line with
Bryan Democracy this year.
"Rev. DR.. Silas o. Swallow, can
didate for President of the United
Christian party, says: IF we must
choose between the candidates OF
the two old parties, 1 should GER
tainly support the man who olinge

Reunion Of Orr's Regiment.

SENECA, Aug. l0.-Ycsterday was a
red letter day here. 1t was the day for
the reunion of the survivors of Orr's
Regiment. In fact the rennion proper
began on Tuesday night when the old
veterans of this and other commands
gathered at the fair grounds and went
into camp. Many old battles were
fought oyer again. and many merry
Joke and interesting experience told:
people began! coming early until / 900
or 1000 of all ages and both fair and
otherwise were assembled to show
their regard for the old soldiers. The
association was opened by the presi-
dent, Gen. r. II. IIemphill, OfAbbevillc.
lie called upon the Rev. u. w. HiOtt
to lead in prayer and an earnest, fer
vent, tender prayer it was. President
itcmphlll addressed his command ai
some length On old nsrlncries ana as
sociations.. Ills references both to the
past and the rapidly approaching fu-
ture, in tender words, brought tears
to many eyes as we'll rs his own.
Gen. &. J.. Walker was next intro
duced and held the undivided atten-
tion of his large audience for some
time giving an earnest, plain, practical
address. The main feature was refer
cnces to the unfair histories now in
use and pleading for justice to the
South.
Gen. IIemphill was reelected presi-
dent and John w. Thompson secretary
and treasurer. The association will
hold its next reunion ut Sandy Springs
in Anderson County, the place where
the regiment was organized and had
it's first camp of instruction. After
tho adjournment the veterans were in
vitcd to partake of IN elegant dinner
prepared for them and served 10 them
by the ladies'. They had everything
they could wish for and much was left.
