CONGRESSMAN FREER'S LETTER
House of Representatives,
Washington, March %, 1900.

I1OuSS Vi pICSCItdllNCSt
Washington, March %, 1900.
To the Republicans of West Virginia:
AS Republican, | desire first of all
things, party harmony and success, and
after mature elaboration have decided
to withdraw from the race for the govern
orship, believing that my continued candi-
dacy would lead to party strife and dis
senson; futhermore,l find that have not
the physical strength to endure cam
paign for the nomination, with the great
bulk of the labor of the contest devolving
on me alone.
MY Congressional duties demand a
large share of my attention, and neces-
sarily, would have to neglect them if |
continue in the race for governor, and this
| cannot afford to do and without re-
sentiment and without any feeling OF I'M
kindness toward any one,l hereby formal
" withdraw from the race for the nomi-
nation.
No man has truer friends than myself.
Through good report and evil report they
have been loyal to me, in success and de
feat. can only hope that some future
day time or place may be able to recon-
pense them for their devotion.
This declination does not take me out
of West Virginia politics, but on the con-
trary, it gives me an opportunity to do
better and truer work for the cause | love
50 much, freed from the suspicion of any
personal ambition.
AS Republicans, let us go forward to-
gether. Yours, faithfully,
ROMEO II. FREER.

Five hundred men in Knoxville, Tenn,
working in the iron industries. were given
an unsolicited 10 per cent advance in their
wages, on Monday last, whilst on the
the same day in Shenandoah, Pa, the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company also advanced the wages of
their 10000 operatives, roper cent. But,
these items of prosperity are of daily oc-
currence, nowadays, under Mckinley
and the glorious old Republican party.

Hon. u. S. G. Pitzer has formally an
nounced his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for Congress from this Dis
trict. Grant would make a strong candi-
date and he has many friends in Morgan
county who will stick to him as Loyalty as
they did two years ago. 1t is certainly
time the eastern end of this District be
given chance for Congressional honors.

A BLOW FRon THE SHOULDER.

Our readers will readily remember how
one Johnnie McGraw, and the Democrats
ic party, have been chasing one another
all over this State, blowing their tim
horns, and beating their tom-toms, de-
claring that one Senator Scott, whose
first name is Nathan, and who is a Re
publican, would never be seated in the v.
S. Senate. They rolled their blood-shot
eyes and frothed at the mouth, and got
cramp collie, from sitting up late at night,
cursing Scott. They said Snearto Scott
had not a single chance TO win out, and
employed their big guns, among them,
| Toe Blackburn, the hre-eatlng, sword
swallowing Kentucky Democrat, TO wipe
up the earth with poor Scott. Their glee
was grand-their simplicity and ignor-
ance, stupendous. Scot looked. around
for a level-headed, able Democratic law
yer to present his case. He found him IN
his predecessor, Hon. Chas. J. Faulkner
Of this city, who, though in practice
Democratic, is really Republican, because
he believes in progress and patriotism.
Charlie went to Washington, and quietly
took up the case. Skillfully he dissected
ever false argument of the McGrawites,
and easily sent them out OF court. He
never had softer snap. There was alb
solutely nothing in the contest. The SEN
ate committee on privileges and elections
then made their report. 1t finds Senator
SCOTS title to the seat, perfect and flaw
less. Five Republicans, and three Dem
ocratic members of the committee signed
the report-all of the committee, except
Senator Pettus, and even he, refused to
make a minority report
A more completely "knock on" in poll
teal scheming, never occurred. 1t demv
onstrates the mental and political calibre
of the McGrawites, and simply quashes
the whole gang The decent people of
the State will indorse it, and the lesson
will not be lost on those who try to steal
the seats of men who have been honest
ly elected to office in this State.
1t is the death knell of McGrawism

"Hon. U. s. G.. Pitzer, of Martinsburg,
has made his formal announcement as a
candidate for Congress in this district, and
he needs no press comments to inform
the people who he is, having been in the
political arena for fifteen years, and it is
needless to say that he is well known even
throughout the State as man of culture
and refinement, and ability to legsate
and make laws for his countrymen.

him, if not watched pretty close, will cut

The most important development of the
week was the enactment of the new cur
rency law. The news of the signing of
the bill by President Mckinley was every
where received with the greatest satisfac-
ton, as the necessity for the reform in the
currency system which this measure eff
fects has been for years urged upon the
lawmaking powers by the business inter
ests of the country. 1t is generally agreed
by the leaders in trade and financial cir
cles that the benefits which will result
from the new order of things will be al
most incalculable. Not only are the f.
nances of the Nation placed sqdarely upon
a gold isis, but the currency system is
made sufficiently elastic to cause the cir
culating medium to respond closely to the
fluctuations in trade onditions.-To Toledo

Senator Tillman prodded Senator
Spooner fiercely on last Saturday, in dis
cussing the Porto Rican tariff. He de-
manded to know under what section of
the Constitution we had right to give
the peoples money to the Porto Ricans.
Spooner eyed his Democratic questioner
quietly and asked in return under what
section of the Constitution Senator Till
man voted to buy victuals to be sent to
the starving people in Russia, few years
ago, and also, millions of dollars to the
flood sufferers in the South. An ominous
silence befell the South Carolina Senator.
He had bated a trap for Spooner, in
which he was caught himself.

of the most notable football events in
the history of Western Pennsylvania,
had it been possible to follow out the
original schedule, was transformed into
an affair not greatly exceeding the Or
binary by reason Of the recent flood,
which necessitated the pOstponement
Of the great annual game from Thanks
giving day until to-day. Had the orig
inal schedule been carried out, the game
would have attracted between 10000
and $4,000 people, but as it was only
1900 persons witnessed the struggle.
Considering the terrible condition OF
the field, the work OF the teams to-day
was little short of wonderful. Rare,
indeed, are exhibitions such as marked
the end OF the season here. as il their
very lives depended upon the result,
the players fought with a speed and
ferceness greater by far than has char
acterlzed any other game this season,
and each team bitterly contested every
inch OF ground in the advance of its
opponents. t'Umbles were remarkably
few and seemingly impossible end runs
b0bbed up with a frequency that fairly
raised the hair on the heads Of the on
lockers. The work of the DuQuesne
team was magnificent and the cole
gians were scarcely more than toys in
the hands Of the brawny warriors Of the
local athletic club. They tipped and
tore through the college line, worked
trick plays until their opponents were
demoralized and rushed back punts
in a way that threw their enthusiastic
followers into a frenzy Of JOY.
In the first half the w. & J. boys
could get the ball out OF their territory
only by punting, and even then the ball
was at once rushed back to their side
of the field. Yard by yard the On
quesne Stars fought their way down the
field, and twenty-Onc minutes after play
began the first touchdown was batter
Cd acme. The second came in the see
ond half, the result of d quick dart by
