crowd did not all attend and all
told there wasn't twenty five men
present. They resoluted, the sub
stance of the resolutions being that
they were going to reform Ohio
county by re.electing Senator Scott
to the United States Senate. rs
certainly a bad move for Scott and
has resulted In causing many luke
warm ard timid Caldwell men to
come out openly for him. If Scott
can't carry his own home county,

so, he can't possibly hope to be

A number of Republicans In the
city of Wheeling have organic d
into a self constituted
reform committee to try and carry
Ohio county for Senator Scott.
This committee, and Its org an, the
Wheeling Intelligencer, admits very
candidly, that Schmulbach has the
county under his control and will
defeat Scott, hence, these reformers
are making this move to defeat
Schmulbach. It's reported that
Senator Scott has denounced the
action of the committee. He GER
taiuly should do so. For set OF
politicians 10 admit so early In
the fight that Scott Is
licked In his own home county will

New Martinsville Dispatch.
We are truly glad to note this I'M
portaut move on the part of our
friends from the ''hayseed" town
north of Us. If they had boldly
taken a car, rode direct into Sis
tersville on their first trip away
from home the excitement, hustle,
push and energy going here would
have prob .bly caused their death
from heart failure. But they
walked first to Sardis That walk
probably saved them. 1t gave the
wind an opportunity to blow the
hayseed from their backs and al
lowed the rabbits In their whiskers
to escape. Then they had to walt
a few moments at Sardis. The
change from living In town like
Martiusville and going to the hustl-
Ing city of Sardis Is considerable,
bat they stood on the opposite
shore of the OHIO river so the
shock from getting out of a dead
town, whose principle foundations
for being on the map at all Is the
result of "Minor Stephens hot ali
machine, into live town like Sar-
dis came over them gradually and
saved their precious lives. Thenthe
car came along. These people all
got on the middle of the track and
waived their hats, coats, umbrellas
and Stephen had lantern and so
they managed to hail the car and
have 1t stop because it can't run
any farther up the river. Then
they piled on board that car. They
had read in a newspaper somebody
dropped IL running from Martins
Vile in a big hurry to get away
from the deathly stiffness that pre-
vades the atmosphere of that Hot

street car at a rapid rate or you
would get left, so they climbed In
In the usual Country Jake style.
When the car started they were as
happy as little children. OF course
they raised the windows at once.
All yaps do that. They did not
change a single yap rule. Then
they would stick their heads out
the car windows. Stephen showed
how 1t was done. He learned at
Charleston. So the car came down
the track. The poor motorman was
so astonished he could hardly run
the car. Conductor Bert Miller has
not recovered fully yet. He was
amazed.
He had seen some green gawks
In his travels but this gang took
the whole cake, platter and all. He
Fl lally recovered enough to collect
fares. He was nearly one hour
getting the fares collected. The
crowd had their money all secreted
so nobody could steal 1t. Some
had their dime tied up In a large
bandanna handkerchief, tied In
hard knot that took almost hours tc
unite. Others had the dime In
huge belt tied around their bodies,
The ladies of course had to dive
down but when they began to hau
up their dresses and so on to get the
dime they had secreted so carefully
Bert went stone blind, so we will
have to guess where the dime was
hidden away. This all took time
and lots of 1t. They did not come
to Sistersville. They only had one
dime each so they divided 1t III

Prices today are practically unohang-
ed. as compared with yesterdays.
During the early part OF the session
prices had some further reaction, ow-
ing principally to the strike reports.
The Rock Island and Frisco doal has
been officially announced, Another
large trust company, The Mercantile,
announced It would quit the clearing
house. May Is. owing to the burden
imposed by the rule that ON and after
June the trust companies using the
clearing house must keep per cent
reserve on hand. Considering the &C
tion Of the market during the past 80
days It is only natural that some little
setback such as that of yesterday and
today should occur and It is possible
that it may go some further, but upon
any break from present figures we
would advise purchases Of the stand
ard issues. The banks have gained
from subtreasury since Friday last

ADVICE TO REPUBLICANS.

Savoyard, writing to the Louisville
Post from Washington, yesterday says
among other things:
1.-THE Republicans of Kentucky have
a grand opportunity. All they have
got to do is to show themselves to be
fit for something. The Democrats
confess that they cannot hold an hon
est convention and they resort to what
they announced was to be a primary.
But Tophet is full of such primaries
as that. Nobody can tell IL the thing
is to be held under the law, if it is to
have a legal or voluntary officers, or
even IL it will be able to nominate
We do know that under the operation
Of the call but one man is to be voted
for for the nomination for governor.
This was predicted months ago. 1t
was asserted that the machine had
slate. Given a machine and a slate,
and where do the other fellows come
in? The other fellows do no stealing.
"Now what shall the Republicans
do? Hold an honest convention that
reflects the will of the Republican
masses, and not the orders of the Re
publican bosses. Nominate a ticket
that will command the respect of the
state, rather than name the nuclei of
a bread and buutter squad. Do that
and the people will elect it. And when
the party gets the stats let it run its
administration without machine, land
whip from courts of justice all poll
tics--especislly from courts of crimi-
nal jurisdiction. And that would be
q great thing-to conduct criminal
prosecution in the Franklin circuit
court, or the Scott circuit court, on
such non-partisan lines that it would
not be vindication of the act of the
governor of Indiana in refusing to hon
or a requisition of the governor OF Ken
lucky for the return of an alleged fu-
gitive from Justice"

WAS ALMOST A FIGHT
Alderman andPOlicemanEngage
in Alteration Today.


Alderman Gus q. Singleton and Po-

Fourth and broadway about 1890
O'Clock this afternoon, and It appears
had words about what Alderman Sim
gleton said about Officer whitehurst
last night at the board of aldermen
meeting. According 10 bystanders AL
dermsn Singleton struck the police
man once, but Officer Aaron Hurley
and Police Commissioner Mann CLARK,
who were nearby, separated them and
prevented further hostilities.
IL seems that on account of Alder
man singleton's advocacy of the ordi-
nance some time back TO reduce the
police force, and subsequently to have
the police make sanitary inspections
in addition to their other duties. he
has come in for some unpleasant criti'
cism from some of the police officers,
and the feeling has become somew hat
bitter on both sides. Both gentlemen

The manner in which candidates for
Republican nominations for state office
are coming out indicates a healthy
condition Of the party. circumstances
and prospects could not be more pro-
pitious than now. There is every in
dication that. the Republicans will win
an easy victory this year in Kentucky.
1t will take a long time to heal the
fostering sores of the Democrats pro-
duced by months Of ceaseless back Bit
ing, mendacity and bitterness and in
fact, some of the Democrats never get
over a wrong, or fancied wrong.
Those who have this time been COM
PEELED to step down and out and let
the nominations go to others will not
soon forget those who are to blame for
1t, and il they do not stay at home en-
tirely on election day, they are likely
to vote differently from what may be
expected of them. All signs point to
Republican success, and this is one
reason there is being aroused such a
lively interest in the party in this
years campaign. Victory IL evident
on every hand. and the Republicans
seem to be ready for it

The Southern Convention Began This
Morning.

Savannah. Ga, May S-Already
there are fully 1000 delegates in the

Some good advice is given in sn adj
dress before the National conference
of Charities and Corrections at Allan
tn, Ga, by Mr.. W. H. Allen, of the
New York association for improving
the poor. who says the citizen who
gives Is more to blame for that para
site, the tramp. than the tramp him
self. He urges people to do something
to eliminate the growing tramp evil
by refusing him charity and thus fore
ing him to work, which he will never
do as long as he finds it unnecessary.
There are institutions in every city,
county and state for the comfort and
relief of the worthy destitute and af-
fiicted, and in view of this fact no ex-
cuse can be offered for the tramp, and
his constant demands on the people
for sustenance.

The conditions that prevail in Brea-
thitt county are disgrace not only to
that county, but to the entire state rs
well. 1t is reflection ON the name
of Kentucky to have 1t published
broadcast that the officials in any city
or county, no matter how hostile war
ring factions may be, refuse to make
any effort to punish bloody assassi-
nation perpetrated in the tenn pie Of
Justice itself, especially when it is
boldly stated, and not con.radicted,
that many know the perpetrators of
the deed. Those who have been wont
to criticize the mountainous section of
the state for its alleged uncivilized as
pect, bat more especially because many
of the people are Republicans, should
be more careful in the future. Breat-
hit county is Democratic, and is sup
posed to be in the Wanted belt of arts
toorstic civilization.

Americans have been Kissed in Pan
anna. Some of the little countries south
of us that depend on the United States
for support in their meanness appear
TO know about as little of the Monroe
doctrine as a few of our own fire-eat-
ing statesmen. They seem to think the
Monrie doctrine is something which
prevents the United States allowing
any large nation to jump on any small
one, no matter what the justification.
