FOR DELEGATE.
Hon. Jas. Capehart n Candidate
For District Delegate To the
National Democratic Com

Vention.
Our fellow county man, Hon.
Jas. Capehart, has given out that
he will be candidate before the
District Convention which meets
in Point pleasant, May 16, 1900,
for Delegate to the Democratic
National Convention, which meets
at Kansas City, Mo-, July 4, 1900,
Mr.. Capehart has twice before
represented this District in our
National Conventions, and was
found true and loyal to the Demoo-
racy, in both cases.
Mr.. Capehart is an ardent and
enthusiastic admirer and supporter
of Hon. w. j. Bryan and the Chi
oago Platform; and if selected by
the Convention as one of it's Del
egates, there will be no swerving
of hin from the support of Bryan
and the re-afirming of the Chicago
Platform of 1896.
Mr.. Capehart has always been
true to and loyal to hispeople of this
District, whether as Representa-
tive in Congress or as Delegate
to its National Conventions.
He is the sort of man the Dis
triot should select for Delegate to
the National Convention, because
he is man of the striotest integri-
ty, has the confidence of the Democ-
racy of the Fourth District, and
will do his duty, no matter what
may confront him.
The people know Mr.. Capehart,
as we'll as does the editor of this
paper, and he, therefore, needs no
words of praise at our hands.
We believe the delegates, when
they assemble here, will, as they
should do, select Mr.. Capehart as
one of the Delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention.
General Otis last report from
the Philippines does not show that
peace and content are in possession
of the island of Luzon. Qnite to
the contrary. Otis states that since
the first of January 121 skirmishes
have ,been reported in different
parts of the Philippines and that
in these skirmishes the Americans
lost 7S enlisted men killed, 49,
officers and 151 enlisted men
wounded. This does not make it
a certainty that the back bone of
the rebellion is broken. The Cen
eral also reports that in these
ARRAYS the Filipinos lost 1926
killed and wounded and 1 ,453 cap
tured or wounded. Aguinaldo
still remains man of mystery.
He has been reported at Singapore
as we'll as visiting Manila in dis
guise and comforting with his
friends and supporters there.
Mr.. Taylor, who claims that he
was once elected governor of Ken
lucky is planting cannon in the
State House at Frankfort in antici
patton of court decision adverse
to his claims. lie would rather
commit dozens, or hundreds, OF
murders than to give up the office
he claims. The possession of al
Office is considered of far greater
Importance by Mr.. Taylor than the
upholding of law, or the mainten-
anoe of legal and constitutional
methods of determining disputes.
The conduct of the President in
connection with the troubles in the
western mining regions, and the
acts of Taylor which have the cog
nizance and moral encouragement
ofthe republican party, are the fore
runners of anarchy and violence
Whenever the forms of law are ig
nored, and shot guns and cannons
are set up against the courts the
beginning of the end of an honest
ly governed republic may be an
nounced. --Parkersburg Sentinel
Napoleon was imprisoned at st.
Helena because his captors regard
ed him as an enemy to the human
race. Does the British government,
in it's determination to send Cronje
to that dismal island, contend that
a man who CALAMITY fought for the
freedom and independence of his
countrymen is, too, can enemy to
the human racer" The whole DIV
ilized world refuses to believe that
Napoleon and the Boer loader
should be considered on the same
plane. The latter's incarceration
on st, Helena would be an outrage,
