THE .LNTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, MAY Z, 1900
rhis Week,s conventlons.

The Republicans of the First and Sec
ond congressional districts and the
state at large will hold tbs center OF
the political stage to-day and to-mos-
row. AT Clarksburg to-day the Flrst
district congressional convention will
select two delegates and alternates to
represent the state in the. Republican
national convention, which meets ut
Philadelphia next month, There is no
doubt but what Colonel Morris Hork-
heimer, of Wheeling, will be one Of the
delegates chosen. Colonel Horkheimer
deserves the honor for his en- tnent sell
vices and effective work for the success
Of the state and national tickets four
years ago.
The main interest centers in the state
convention, which convenes at Fair
mont tomorrow, and which Will elect
four delegates-at-large. 1t is expected
that there will be a large attendance
of the Republicans from all sections of
the state, but not as large as Will be ut
the state nominating convention at
Charleston. The national convention at
Philadelphia VIII merely be in the ma
ture of 4 ratification meeting and Re-
publican love feast. and. as natural
sequence, the contest for the honor Of
being delegate will not be so pro
nounced as it would be were there any
other candidates beside President Nc
Klniey. Notwithstanding this fact tho
Intelligencer hopes to see an unusual
gathering of the Republicans Of thu
state. Tho Republicans of West YIr-
glnia are thoroughly aroused this year,
and from every hamlet, town and city
this paper has received assurances Of
the party presenting united front and
a determined spirit to elect not only
the state officers. but majority of the
legislature. This must be done, ana
we cannot impress upon our Republi'
can friends throughout the state too
earnestly the Importance OF selecting
the best men for candidates for tho
senate and house of delegates. Let us
all warm up to this fact at Fairmont 20
morrow.

THERE is more catarrh In this sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For n great many years doctors pro-
nounced II a local disease. and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced It incurable, Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con-
stItutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

HON. WARREN MILLER.
His Candidacy For the Supreme
Court Judgeship.

ELS CRnu1uaCy Eor inc 9VPESAe
Court Judgeship.
Charleston Mail Tribune: Hon. War
rem Miller, of Jackson county, was in
the city over night, leaving at noon to-
day. In conversation with a reporter
Mr.. Miller, said he would accept the
nomination for Judge of the supreme
court of appeals, but that the position
is one OF such dignity that he did not
deem It hitting to enter scramble for
1t. He considers the place one Of such
great Importance to the people that
they would be sure to look out for the
best man, and he could not advertise
himself as that best man. ~ should
feel greatly hOnored by a nomination"
said Mr. Miller, and II elected l would
give my best endeavors to the great
and important work that would fall
upon me-"
Hundreds of Mr.. Bllller's friends all
through the state will read these lines
with pleasure. Every wcll-lnformed
person in the state knows that he was
elected supreme judge in 1892. The ma
1orlty against him on the face of the re-
turns was only o.. while in the returns
from Lincoln county by mistake 1--WE
hope 1t was not more than clerical err
rory, his opponent was given just 100
votes more than he received; and In
Marion county. by a similar mistake
Cor worse) he was deprived OF soma
sIxty-odd votes.
Mr. Miller was admitted to the bar in
1871, and has been In active practice
o,,oy, gIpra n 0nrInd of nearly thirty
years. During his service in Congress
he kept up his practice. He has been
counsel in some OF the most important
cases in the state and his practice has
covered the whole range Of the law. In
1871, he was appointed assistant prose-
cutting attorney Of his county, and
thereafter was elected to the office OF
prosecuting attorney and served ably
therein for eight years. Mr.. Miller has
always been an active Republican. He
is q man OF fine abilities. clear-headed,
OF judicial temperament. conserva-
tive, sound, and possesses IN an emil
nant degree all the qualifications OF an
able and efficient Judge. Two supreme
judges are to be elected this year, and
the two judges who viii retire are from
the First and the Fourth districts, 1t
ia generally understood that one OF
these nominations will be conceded to
the Fourth district. and the other to the
First, as the Second and Third districts
each have one judge on the bench. Mr..
Miller is. fortunately. resident or the
Fourth district. He is now in the prime
Of life, and his long and varied practice.
his experience In public affairs, his con-
servntlvc and judicial temperament.
make him n most available and fitting
name for supreme judge.

Paterson, N. J., has come over to
BRYAN. He was forfhefiy identified
with the prohibition PARTY, and he
makes public statement OF the
reasons iof his change. 'sTo my

resents better than any of the can

which is righteous and. patriotic.
For this reason shall support
him, for if ballot does not repre-

and the patriotic desires OF the
voter it is cast in vain. Five years
ago my con yictions led me to sup-
port the prohibition party. At that
time a resident of Brooklyn, was
the secretary OF its general com
mittee for King eounty. For many
years the prohibition party ha ]
been educating its adherents to
realize the necessity for various
social and economic reforms. But
in its national convention fou1
years ago it threw overheard every
one of these reforms except tina,
for the suppression. OF the hQuol
traffic. As a matter OF conscience
am unalterably opposed to Presi

himself mere politician. He ha'

News From Our Sultan.

Hadii Mohammed Wolomal kir-
am, sultan of Sulu, an honored
friend Of" the president OF the
United States, is out of humor with
his erstwhile niunihcent official
superiors. when McKiniey's rep
resentative; General Bates, made
the treaty between the snltah and
the United States government, it
was agfeed that, besides the $3.50
month salary for ruling d portion
Of "enr new possessions" the stu
tan sho.tld have a stipulated sum
for each 81 HIS seventeen wives.
Although the treaty recognized
the lawfulness Of polygamy 1t made
no provision for helpmates which
the Sultan might, take unto himself
in the future; and since the treaty
was made the sultan has at divers
times led thirty blushing brides to
the altar and claims for each bride
IEher per capita allowance from the
Tinted States.
. His administration friends assert
that only the wives he had when
{ the treaty was made shall receive
: pension from this government ane
! there the matter stands. Aprope
of the subject, what do the million:
r of Americans who protested agains
s Brigham Roberts for congress
think OF the Sulu sultan, his wives
and the fact that they flourish IL
+ polygamy under the protection ant
. in the pay of the United States

i do or do not, they will see tn
h enormity of the whole disgracefu
affair when the people expires
