Principles. No. Headquarters. Wanted.

Because the results in the West have
not been up to expectations. the Demo-
cratic party is about to discontinue It's
national headquarters in Chicago.
Whether the change shall be temporary
or permanent time must determine. 1t
will depend largely upon whether or
not the Democratic party in the future
will have anything to offer western peo-
pie that will prove more acceptable to
them than anything 1t has offered dur
ing the last six years.
Democratic national Headquarters
were originally established in the GEN.
ter of the commercial and political life
of the West, under the erroneous be-
lief that the western people, as a
whole, were In more or less sympathy
with the Populistic ideas that found
favor in Kansas and Nebraska, and
that found expression in the first NOM
ination of William Jennings Bryan.
By n strange and entirely unwarrant-
ed misunderstanding of western char
acter and thought, it was presumed
that, because the free silver craze had
received encouragement in certain por-
tions of the West, all the West was in
sympathy with it, and would rally
around its chosen champion. 1t ap-
peared not only to western and south
ern Democrats, but to eastern Demo-
Gratis as well, that the West would es-
teen it a compliment il its chief city
should be made the center of free sill
yer agitation, and would unhesitating-
ly return the compliment by casting its
electoral votes for the ticket nominat-
ed by the party which had bestowed
upon it such distinguished considera-
ton. The awakening from this delu-
sion came in the nature of q shock

Joshua H. Marvil was born in Little
Creek hundred, Sussex county, Sep

years of age he lost his father and it
was hard struggle on the part of his
brave and devoted mother to maintain
the six children that were left to her
unaided care. So pressing were the
home duties, so constant the labor on
the farm that young Marvil had little
opportunity for instruction at the
school house three miles away. But
there was a latent energy in the boy
that was bound to develop and over
come one by one the obstacles to sue
cess. When he was twenty years of
age he became a sailor, but soon after
learned the trade of shipbuilding. In
his 2Sth year he began the manufacture
of agricultural implements. Success
soon followed. In 1870 he commenced
his business of manufacturing crates
and baskets, which became one of the
largest industries in the county. He
was elected Governor in 1894. Soon
after his Inauguration there were ru-

belonged to that class, so rapidly dis

as a collecting link between capitol
