On Monday evening, october 3lst
the Spook and Ghost party given at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. t. G. Welt
stein, which was given in honor OF
their father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. M. Beamish, who will in a few days
leave for the east, where they will
spend the winter was well attended and
thoroughly enjoyed by those present.
1t being Halowe en- eve all guests rep
resented the ghost of some person
selected by themselves and the name
chosen was presented at the door on ar
rival of guests. 1t was certainly a
ghostly looking Assem- bly, which gath
cred in the circle around the Gypsy
Kettle to tell the stories OF the ghosts
whom they represented. The sitting
room where the circle of ghosts gath
cred was nicely decorated for the occa-
sion with the proverbial pumpkin Jack
o. lanterns which furnished wierd
light, and in one corner was the
witches tent beautifully trimmed with
corn husks and pine trees, where, after
many interesting ghost stories about
the gypsy kettle, all repaired to have
their fortunes told by the queen of
witch ghosts selected for the occasion,
who told all something good of their
life in the future. After this ceremony
masks and robes were removed, when
TO our surprise it was found that it was
Mrs. A. M. Phelan who had so ably
presided as queen OF witch ghosts. The
parties were then ushered into the par
Tor which was deliberately decorated
with autumn leaves in all their varied
colors, scattered over curtains and fur
niture and fastened in festoons and
ar, hes over windows and doors. Here
games of various kinds We're INDUCED
in and prizes awarded. Mrs. A. Nj.
Phelan and A. L. Walker being the
lucky ones TO win a to whom the
prizes were awarded. After prizes
were awarded and congratulations re-
ceived all repaired to the dining room.
The double doors leading from parlor
10 dining room were most beautifully
decorated with arches of autumn leaves
and porters of strings of apples which
gave a beautiful effect. The dining
room was deliberately decorated. The
center table with its beautiful boquet Of
rose berries. The walls with their yell
low and red gave to this room that
comfortable home feeling which cannot
be described in words. Here a delicious
lunch was served, which was most
heartily enjoyed by all present
After the lunch the time which
passed SO swiftly and pleasantly was
filled with music, songs and dancing
until the wee small hours when all de-
parted for their respective homes, vol-
ing many thanks and good wishes to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wettstein for their hos
pitality, and wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Beamish successful and pleasant trip
with the hope that they would soon
return. Those present were; Mr. and

Barbour county had candidate
to present to the Convention last
week at Charleston for the position
of Supreme Judge, and the lawyers
and Democratic leaders were there
in full force from Barbour to urge
the name of Hon. Samuel v. Woods.
and Preston wanted to present Col.
Robert w. Monroe, but when it was
decided to make but one nomina-
ton, and Judge Dent, being already
on the Bench, and the only Demo
cratic member, his friends insisted
that he had the right of way and was
entitled to the nomination, and so
It was decided to present no other
name at that time, but there will be
another candidate nominated when

PsFkersburg in August.

Association will now have a chance
at their next annua! session to pass
resolutions of approval on the De-

many candidates in the Republican
party for the Office of Supreme Judge
that the two vacancies will not be
one-fourth enough, let alone one,
for the hungry pie hunters of the

about a dozen candidates so far.

Barbour county has started a
boom for Hon. ID. w. Shaw for
Governor. Mr.. Shaw was formerly
Supt. of the Reform School at
Pruntytown, and from his expert
ence in the reform business nigh,
be able to reform the State from the
corrupt and demorlized condition
in which the Republicans have plung-
ed it. Mr.. Shaw is now President of
the Morris Harvey College at Bar
louisville, and is a good man but,
the sentiment now is very strong
for Henry G.. Davis for Governor
aud he is more available candidate
than Prof. Shaw.

The ARGUS recently announced
the candidacy of Hon. Rufus Hol.
den, OF this place, for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in
this district, and since then Mr..
Holden has received many express
sions of support and encouragement
from Republicans as well as Demo.
Gratis. It is generally conceded that
the candidate to oppose Mr.. Dayton
should come from this county, as
owing to the great dissfection in
his own party here, as well as in
Monongalia, the big Republican
majority that has been electng Mr..
Dayton, would undoubtedly be cut
down by a candidate here at home
we'll and fayorably known to our
people. Whereas a candidate from
the other end Of the district would
not get the Republican vote that a
man here at home would get.

The editor of this paper was
elected an alternate from the Sec

State to the National Democratic
Convention at ST. Louis, in July.
Some of our friends insisted on
nominating us for a Delegateship
in the Convention at Charleston
last week but as we were not a can
didate and not asking for anything.
We withdrew our name and moved
that the other candidate A. ]. Will
kinson of Grafton be nominated by
reclamation. This was done and
thereupon the convention elected
us as alternate by acclamation any
how.

The Post is one of the best papers

The race between the candidates
for Prosecuting Attorney in this
county is positively becoming ludi-
erous and more newspaper space is
now being used by the friends Of
the opposing candidate than by
all the other candidates put to
gether. They have quarrelled and
argued over the ability Of the two
young lawyers, as 20 how long each
has been praeticing law; how long
each has been in the county and
about the birth place Of each and
the number Of cases each had in
the last court and how they stand
on Tax Reform, religion, Dawson
and Teter, with the farmers, the
miners and the corporations. But
the most desperate point is just now
being disputed the age Of the boys,
and the Assessors books haze been
brought into play and the Daley
side gleefully proclaims that the
records show Pierce but "a years Of
age, while DALEY is 81, eight years
older. II the cruel war lasted
little longer, the height, weight,
length Of hair and stiffness Of beard
Of each would be compared next.

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis Of
Elkins is slated for the Democratic
nomination for Governor and it
looks like the Senator would win the
nomination in canter. He was
at the Charleston Convention last
week and made good speech and
when the boys hollered "Hurrah
for Gov. Davis" the Senator was
as proud as boy with his first pair
of trousers.

announcement of So different can

the Republican Primary Election
Saturday of this week, when the
agony will be over for the public,
but worse than ever for some of the
candidates. The Argus will publish
some very touching obituary notices
next week and may possibly drop
into poetry on some special cases.
We arc expecting two or three yards

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Democratic State Con-
ventiOn at Charleston Last Week.

~--@
The Democrats of West Virginia,
in convention assembled, make this
declaration of party principles.
We renew our pledge of fealty to
the essential principles of Demo
cracy as enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson upon the National issues
now before the country, reserving
for the State Convention the duty
to make the declarations of party
upon State issues.
We condemn the usurpation OF
legislative power by the President,
and declare for a government OF
law, binding alike presidents. cabi-
nets, legislatures, courts and peo-
pie, and especially restraining en-.
croachments by the Executive upon
the legislative and judicial depart
ments Of government.
We condemn the spirit OF military
domination which has led to the dis
regard of our treaty obligations and
to oppression of weaker peoples,
all of which tends to lessen within
ourselves a due respect for law and
love of liberty and peace. There
must be return to conservative
principles of government. In nc
other way can business confidence
be fully restored.
Unsteady National policies and q
restless spirit of adventure create
alarms that check our growth and
render Il impossible for our people to
enjoy in tranquility and confidence
the gains of their industry.
We oppose those trusts and com.
binations which Cypress the people
and stife healthful industrial com
potion.
We condemn the failure of the
present administration by reason oil
its political connections and designs
to enforce freely the civil and Grim.
inal provisions of the laws for the
regulation of combinations. Laws
against the trusts must be enforced
to give us industrial peace.
We demand that a check be
placed upon extravaganza in public
expenditures.
We demand reasonable revision
of the tariff to be laid under the
Constitution for revenue adjusted
in such manner as to do the great.
est good to the greatest number OF
people.
We favor the mainten ance oil
State rights and home rule, and are
opposed to Capitalization.
We demand strict honesty in pub.
lie service. Vigilance in prevention
of fraud and diligent, determined
efforts to detect it and punish the
guilty party regardless of his Office
or station.
We demand that the mutual right.
of labor and capital be impartially
maintained with no unequal dis
elimination nor abuse of the power
of law for favoritsm or oppression.
We hereby approve and confirm
the election of the delegates and al.
ternates to the St. Louis Conven-
ton this day appointed by the FIVE
Democratic Congressional district
conventions.

1t is up to the Republican party
of the State to comply with the
recommendation of The Bar Associa-
ton and make an effort towards a
non-partison judiciary, or continue
to drag the ermine in the slough of
dirty politics. AS there are two
nominations to be1made for Judges
of the Supreme Court of the State
this year the Bar Association, COM
posed Of Attorneys from both parties
earnestly recommended that each
party make but one nomination this
time and the Democrats have ac-
eepted and complied with this very
sensible move and at the Convention
last week in Charleston, the COM
mittee made this recommendation
to the convention, which was un-
animously adopted and Judge M.
II. Dent of Grafton, re-nominated
foi another term as he is the only
Democratic member of the Court
and his term expires with the
present year. The Republican
nominating convention convenes in
Wheeling in July and il they name
candidates for both vacancies the
Democrats will have to nam
another candidate at their conven.
ton in August.

One Of the Keynotes Of the
Democratic convention at Charles
ton last week, was, that this is a
white mans country and a white
mans government and we have no
apologies to offer for it. Ex-senator
Henry g. Davis showed by stats.
tics, in his speech, that this State
and country has always been Demo.
cratic 50 far as the white people are
concerned and that, but for the
negro vote, the Republicans never
could have carried the State or the
United States, in fact could hardly
carry State Of the Union, withou,
the negro vote.
