days.
He was a former resident lof

He's gone, we could not keep him here
With all our tender love;
His pure unsullied spirit
Has passed to realms above.
He has gone to dwell with Jesus
In that happy world of light,
Where the heart is free from sorrow
And there's no dreary night.
God knows our tender little Willie
Was far too pure and fair
To linger mid the chilling blasts
That sweep this world of care.
So He moved him to His garden
On the far off golden shore,
Where an angel bright and beautiful
He will dwell forever more.

pemocratie Success Assured.

The Republicans have lost West
Virginia from the start Their
campaign begins with that disad-
vantage. The State was carried
by Mr.. Cleveland three times. 1t
was carried by Hancock and Til.
den. Its six electoral votes went
to Mr.. Mckinley in 1896 and in
1900. It has come to be consider
ed a Republican State. In early
election forecasts nobody counted
on it as a Parker State and it was
put in the Republican column.
West Virginia does not go Re-
publican when Henry g. Davis
interests himself to have it 90
Democratic. With ex Senator
Davis nominated for the Vice
Presidency on the Democratic
ticket the Republicans have about
as much chance of carrying Texas
as they have of getting West Vir-
ginia. For reasons which are not
far to seek Maryland also now be-
comes sure Democratic State
Judge Parker has become the
most massive and Conspicuous
figure in the country. The Presi-
dent of the United States can
never be without consideration,
but at the present moment the CON-
sideration devoted to Mr. Roose-
veltis astonishingly less than it
has been at any other time since
he entered the White House
Everybody sees, of course. that
the current sets toward the Demo-
oracy, and the initial set of the
current is vital thing in Presi-
dental campaigns. The sound
monsy Democrats who directly OF
indirectly supported Mckinley
have come back to their party
substantially in body. That the
Republicans have lost. in the
'twinkliug of an eye, the votes that
gave them their great msjorities
In many States that must now be
considered doubtful, as we'll as In
New York, which we do not think
any. prudent Republican will call
doubtful unless he wishes to de-
ceive himself.
The Democrats, ON the other
thand. begin their campaign with a
candidate who, before the conven-
ton had adjourned. won the
worlds applause by an act of hero
ism and great-mindedness such ss
in the whole worlds history only
now and then man has performed.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as some of his
/ friends would in sorrow admit. has
not availed himself in like man.
ner. 1t is an incalcuable sdvent-
age in campaign to have a candi-
date who literally fulfiIls the high
requirements of the venerable
adsge. He would rather be right
than be President She bound
less capacity of the American peo-
pie for admiring greatness of that
degree aud quality must be dis
vuietiDg to the Republican leaders
as they read and ponder Judge
Parker's telegram.
What a different campaign be-
ginning from that of 1886 and that
of 1900
