to be a public office-holder. He is
very much disgusted with modern
political methods by which con-
ventions are packed by money
contributed by millionaire candi-
dates for u. S. Senator; with the
trucking and fawning of the Fed
eral office-holders, the postmasters
and other recipients of official
bounty, whose manly independence
is destroyed and whose influence
in their papers and otherwise is
for the perpetuation of themselves
and their lord and master in Office
under the false pretext that the in
terest of the people would be pro-
NOTED by keeping in Office such
men, because they are very rich
and whose interests are with the
great trusts and monopolies of the
country and not with the mass of
the common people whom they do
not know or care about.
Mr.. Brown as remarked by the
"Mountaineer" of his own county,
will make an ideal candidate. He
will run strictly on his merits which
are many. He will not be out a
cent for the purchase of purchase
able votes. He will get a large in
dependent vote from the more
thoughtful and intelligent people
who recognize this an an unusually
important election and without
reference to party. Men interested
in good local government, in the re-
arrangement of the various dele
gate, senatorial and judicial dis
triots in spirit of fairness and
Justice to all, in the "setting-down
on" the Virginia debt question,
and other such important matters
will support Mr.. Brown without
reference to their views on national
matters,
The money question and the
tariff question are both dead issues
this year but whether we are to
continue to have republic or an
empire is the all important and mo-
mentus issue of the day, and all
other matters will be subordinated
until we first determine this. We
congratulate the convention on Mr..
Browns nomination. No stronger
nomination could have been made
and the people will do credit to
themselves by electing him by a
largo majority.

SENATORIAL TICKET.
For state Senator, Still Senatorial District.
CHARLES Il. BROWN,
OF Jackson.
state Senator Hon. Cnas. 1.
BrOWn.

bfOWns
The Senatorial convention at
Ravenswood nominated Hon. Chas.
l.. Brown for it's candidate for
State Senator by acclamation.
This was great surprise to Mr..
Brown, who was away from homo
at the time, and on account of press
ure of business had declined to
offer himself as candidate and
had iptimated that he could not
,ocept the nomination. Mr.. Brown
Ia we'll known all over this district.
He is the son of the late Judge Il.
8. Brown. He served in the House
of Delegates in 1883, and in the
State Senate Gas the representative
of this distriot) in 1886 and 1887
He was quite successful as legis-
lator as the public journals show,
and gave general satisfaction to his
constituents who desired to return
him years ago, but he declined to
accept further political honors and
has since been devoting his time
and energy to his private interests,
which are large.
Mr.. Brown is engaged in farming
extensively. He is devoted to this
interest and is one of the largest
and most progressive farmers in the
district and his farms are models.
He is a large stock raiser and inter
ested in the breeding of fine stock.
Me conducts large cheese factory
hs an incident to his farming inter
est. He has greatly improved his
section of the district and is truly
one of the most useful mon in the
State.
While in the Legislature Mr.
Brown introduced and succeeded
in making into laws several i'm
port measures, among which is the
we'll known "stocklawi" the change
of the date of the election to No
vember, thus saving the expense of
double election, and other meas
ures of importance. Mr., Brown is
very successful business man, and
a man who is success in his own
affairs is good man to trust with
the affairs of other people.
In looking over the files of the
Register, we find that in July,
1884, we said of Mr.. Brown,
then:
"He is friend of the laboring
classes, he having earnestly sup.
ported the bill for the protection
of miners, and helped to make it a
law, which law was expressly ap-
proved by the Democracy in State
convention assembled at Charles
ton. Mr.. Browns strength in
jackson and Roam counties makes
his election an assured fact"
This prediction was VERIFIED
Mr.. Brown received the highest
vote of any candidate voted for in
jackson county at that election,
and carried Roane county by 438
majority.
Six years in the Legislature in
continuous service satisfied Mr..
Browns ambition, and since then
he has persistently declined to en-
ter the political field as a oandi-
date for any Office. He says that
he has grown older and somewhat
wiser. That he has concluded that
to be useful and respectable pri-
yate Citizen is a greater honor than

In Earnest I'M Their Efforts
Against mckinley and the
Trusts.
New York Journal
The commercial travellers have
espoused the Antitrust League
with energy and enthusiasm for
which they are famous as class.
The trusts have hurt the drummers
and now the drummers are going
to help scotch the trusts.
To further strengthen their or
ganization and promote the objects
for which it stands the league has
enrolled itself in the roster of tho
National Association of Democrat
io Clubs, which is slowly but sure
ly building up one of tho most
formidable organizations the coun-
try ever saw.
The feeling of commercial traye-
lers all over the country is very Bit
ter against the trusts. which are
charged with having put at least
10000 drummers out of business
Trusts, in gobbling up smaller
concerns, are driving the CONNER
cial traveller out of existence, and
his plaoe will soon know him no
more. Unless the trusts are re-
buked and restrained the CONNER
DIAL traveller is convinced his occu-
patton will soon become extinct.
So that when the scheme of or
ganizing Commercial Travellers
and Hotel Mems Antitrust
League was proposed it found in
slant and overwhelming support.
The league was founded about a
year ago by William Hoge, who is
now the Secretary and Treasurer
of the organization.
1t began with membership of
two. The endless chain system
was used in effecting the organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Hoge and e. M. Tierney, of
Elmira, mailed letters with appli-
cations for membership to five of
their friends, with the request that
inolosed blanks be sent to friends
of those addressed in the endless
chain system.
In few weeks 10000 names
came in, and today 10000 names
are carried on the membership list,
and in few months it is expected
300, 900 names will be enrolled.

Notable Accession.

There has just been added to the
roll of the National Association of
Democratic clubs the Commercial
Travellers and Hotelmen's, Anti
Trust League, with a membership
of sixty Thousand, and the officers
of the organization say they will
enlist three hundred thousand
voters before election day.
This is one of the signs of the
times. Another is that large
number of prominent Cleveland
Republicans, supporters of Mo
Kinley four years ago, have severed
their co 1neotion with the grand old
party, and will support Mr.. Bryan
in the coming campaign.
In all parts of the country Re-
publioans of wide reputation and
party workers and voters who have
contributed to Republican strength
for years or for life are announcing
their inability to agree with the
present administration. Tens Of
thousands who say nothing will
vote against Mckinley.
It's beginning to look like land
slide. Congress is irrevooably lost
to the Republican party. The
States of the Middle West and
Northwest will be for Bryan. Ohio
is already in the doubtful column,
and will move over another notch
in the next torty-five days. The
administration cannot hold New
York or Maryland, or Delaware, OF
New Jersey in the East, and West
Virginia, kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri will cast their electoral
votes for Bryan.
Public sentiment is working it.
self Alright and even unlimited
Doodle will not prevent registra-
ton of the popular condemnation
of high taxation, imperialism, fav-
oritism of trusts, and all the rest
of the Republican programme.
The Democracy has only to give a
long and strong pull and the future
of the republic will be assured and

served, Wheeling Register
The times show an improvement,
Four years ago, when the Democ-
racy announced Bryan's candidacy
for President, "Teddy" Roosevelt,
of the big mouth and small brains,
declared he would like to line up
Bryan's advocates against stone
wall and polish them off as Weyler
did the Cuban insurreotionists,

ing of this kind from Teddy" at
this time. He contents himself
with shooting off his capacious
mouth and declaring Democrats
towards and traitors. standing for
ignorance and plumber. Tom
Platt's young man has changed
from ball cartridge to wordy venom
and falsehood. In Cuba. while
seeking the bubble reputation at
the reporters mouth, he declared
one of his rough riders was worth a
dozen of the National guard. The
National guard has not adopted
"Teddy" as campaign signboard.

ley.
President Mckinley has betray-
ed me. 1 was opposed to the Paris
peace treaty and would never have
voted for it's ratification of my own
volition. l told the President so,
and be induced mo to vote for it
by solemnly pledging me that it
was not the intention of himself or
the government to forcibly hold or
permanently acquire the Philip
pines.
He further said that his personal
desire was to restore law and order
in the islands and then submit the
matter to Congress, with the idea
of having it grant absolute freedom
and self.government TO the Flip
mos. With that pledge from Pres.
ident William Mckinley voted
for tho treaty. Without it [ never
should have done so.
Mckinley is totally unfit for the
Office of President because he is 30
weak and vacilIating that he can't
stick to an opinion over night. If
he could know his own mind and
be consistent "a hours at time, he
might dc; but such thing is i'm
possible with him, and for that rea-
son he is unfit to be President.
