A VIGOROUS DENIAL FROM
EX-GOV. MAC CORKLE.

He Indignantly Repudiates the
Statement, Published IN Pitts
burg and Telegraphed All Over
the Country, That ne Has Left
the Democratic Party.
Wheeling Register, June goth.
Friday morning there appeared
in the Pittsburg Dispatch politi-
cal sensation in the form of an al
legged interview with ex Governor
". A. Mao Corkle, of this State, in
which this distinguished Democrat
was quoted as saying that he was
tired of the Democratic party, that
he hoped there would be no more
Democratic administrations, State
or national. giving the Republican
party and its policies credit for the
prosperity of the country in gener-
al and West Virginia in particular,
etc.
The Governors Democratic and
personal friends took this an
nouncement cum grano sails, read
the news as telegraphed and print
ed, and awaitee developments. On
the other hand the former political
foes of the distinguished and pop.
ular West Virginian rejoiced with
exceeding great Joy, and none ex.
hibited greater exuberance of feel
ing and a greater gaiety of spirit
than our local Republican contem-
poraries. The leading editorial
yesterday of one of our local papers,
based upon a myth, was almost
hysterical in it's extravagant rhap-
sodies.
To West Virginians generally,
but particularly to those Republi
cans who Rugged a delusion to
to their breasts for forty. eight
hours, we commend perussl OF
the following telegram:
CHARLESTON, w. VA,
June %. 1902, 2:15 p. m.
To the Editor of the Register.
would thank you to deny in the
most vigorous manner the purport-
ed interview with me in the Pitts.
burg Dispatch relative tony being
dissatisfied with my party, etc.
The statement is utterly false in
every particular.
have no intention of leaving
the Democratic party, and propose
to continue in that organization
whether it is majority or minority
in this country.
(Signed) w. A. MAcCoRKLE.

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR:
"a prophet is not without honor,
save in his own country" / know
it is not true of Rev. S. j. Miller,
pastor of Trinity NJ. E Church.
We have here in Washington
several brilliant young divines.
The most prominent of them are
Rev. Frank Bristol. pastor of the
Metropolitan M. E. Church, and
Father Stafford, of the Roman
Catholic Church.
When, however, we heard Mr..
Miller, IN the recent Epworth
League Convention, we were forced
to admit that West Virginia pos
sesses a young clergyman, who is
the peer of our two great diyines.
/ predict that the day is not far
off when the Methodist Episcopal
Church will call Mr.. Miller to oc-
cupy seat with the Bishops.
/ write this that the people OF
Mason county may know what i'm
preston he made in Washington

No single act in Rosevelt's career
has provoked SO much adverse crit
icism as his assumption of kingly
authority in accepting on behalf
of the people of the United States,
statue of European monarch
which he proposes to have set up
in a public place in Washington
city as a shrine to which the Amer
loan people can pay titular homage.
Roosevelt has no more legal right
or lawful authority than has the
Sultan of Sulu to set up a monu-
ment on public domain in this
country. The territory of the U.
S, every inch of it, is within the
exclusive control of congress and
the endesvor of the President to
assert the kingly right of universal
ownership of everything that be-
longs to the government is an usur-

considered almost in the light of a
political disaster. No party, or
any President, can overcome the
prejudices of the American people
against kings, emporers and other
princely potentates. Our country
was the offspring of monarchial
dislike, it was born in the throes of
revolution against the rule of kings.

in our histories, shouted on the
hastings that no man has right to
govern another without the other
mans consent. The essence, the

But Roosevelt believes in the di
vine right and he worships the
monarchy. He will set up along
side the monument to Washington
a statute to king who ruled by
the sword, whose people were SUBJ
