MR.. TETER'S CANDIDACY
And How it is Viewed Here by Mr..
w. T, Henshaw.
LATTER TALKS ON POLITICS
Tells the Parkersburg News That Old
Berkeley VIII be Solid for Barbour
County Man.

A representative of the Parkersburg
News recently visited Martinsburg,
and in a special letter to that paper
had the following to say about Ber-
kelley county politics and the chair
man of the republican county COM
mittee, Mr.. w. T. Henshaw:
Berkeley county was until very re-
cent years democratic, under the
strong leadership of such able men as
Ex-senator Chas. j. Faulkner, Judge
e. Boyd Faulkner, and the probable
nominee of the next democratic con-
vention for governor, Hon. Stuart w.
Walker. This county remained long,
err in the democratic ranks than it
should have. done, but when the god
dess of free silver took possession of
the party and Bryan was nominated
for the presidency, the good sense and
sound judgement of some of the young
'er members of the old time Demo
crazy rebelled; some of them voted
the gold democratic ticket, but others
came clear over to the republican
party, One of the leaders in this
movement was Major w. L. Hen
shaw, who is prominently known in
national guard circles and among the
Spanish American war veterans, and
one of the foremost physicians.
DIR. Henshaw is yet young man
but he occupies very enviable posi-
ton not only in his profession, but
among public men generally. In the
state he is recognized as strong,
clear cut man of affairs, whose coun-
sci is worth having.
He is at present chairman of the
county republican committee in Berk-
eley, and it is due largely to his man
agement and generalship that for the
past six years this county has remain
ed in the republican column.
1t was naturally to the chairman of
the committee that The News man
went for information and found the
major just as unrestrained aud
straightforward in his opinion and
position on public questions as ever.
II am delighted to see the favor
able reports you send ans from over
the state and the many richly de-
served enconiums Mr.. Teter has re-
ceived from our leading public mem
said Mr.. Henshaw. This is only In
line with the way we feel about it
here and I have no hesitancy in say
ing that when the republicans of this
county meet to select delegates to
the state convention, there will be
scarcely dissenting voice, and the
delegation will be solid for Mr.. Teter.
This is the sentiment of our people
and it is only natural sentiment.
''And then, too, our people here
believe somewhat in the principle of
rotation in office, and that there
ought to be chance ut least once in
o decade or two, and this sentiment
alone would have been sufficient to
defeat Mr.. Dawson for this nomina-
ton, all other conditions beng equal.
We know Charlie Teter and have con-
fidence in him, in his integrity, his
loyalty to his party and his native
state"

We're compelled to stand trial at con-
siderable expense to us.
"The bears are very numerous on
the island" concluded this letter, 'and
since they have tasted sheep the sheep
are badly scared and are continually
piling up. Unless something is done
with the bears they will put us out of
business"
Senator Foster is puzzled as to just
how he can help his constituents in
their plight. They assert that "a
bounty of at least five dollars head
should be placed on the bears for a
year or two in order to clean them
out"

Hint for nIa nachelors.

In Crownpoint, Ind. a town of $500 in
habitants, there are 80 good looking
widows who are all wealthy. Many suit
ors have coveted the widows smiles, but
they all seem disinclined to further ven
lures in matrimony.

that he has been able to command for
the scheme the support Of one or two
leading English and Scotch provision
merchants. A meeting to discuss the
subject will beh cid in London in a week
or two, and 1t is understood that every
thing is in shipshape order to enable
him to put the scheme on a practical
working basis at once. The people OF
Tipperary are delighted with the pros
pect of having real live factory In
their midst which will help to stop the

money market; and thought as to the length
of time In which money market as low
as this can be maintained really seems
about the most important task to which
Wall Street should now address itself.
Obviously, present money rates cannot
hold II the bank surplus Is to go on diminish
ing in the way that it has done in the last
fortnight; and yet, according to all COM
petent opinion, the judgment as expressed
resting upon due consideration OF the large
amount Of Western money now on deposit
in this city and Of the high prices ruling
for all agricultural products, the amount
of money that will be withdrawn from New
York for crop moving purposes in the next
few months VIII be greater than was ever
so withdrawn. before. 1t also seems just
now as IL our country this year would be
compelled to finance" to a greater extent
than is usual its own cotton crop; that is,
the banks OF the country will be COM
PEELED to supply the money to pay the South
ern planters for cotton without obtaining
reimbursement in anything like the normal
degree in gold remittances from European
buyers. The principal reason for this seems
to be the prolongation Of the Russo-Jap-
anese war. which is making 1t a matter Of
necessity with all the great European bank
ing institutions to keep their funds well in
hand az safeguard against financial con-
tingencies arising from the cost and length
of the struggle. Not only can no help be
obtained from the Government this year in
the shape Of financial assistance for the
banks during the crop moving period, but
it is more than possible that before the year
ia over call must be made upon the banks
for some portion of the $lO4 900 900 Of Gov
eminent money now deposited with them
If business should become more active,
as optimists concerning the situation ar
IDENTIFY maintain, this, too, will materially
increase the demand upon the banks for
funds. Whether, under these circum-
a continual enlargement Of bank
loans due to speculative purchases in Wall
Street is the part of wisdom remains for
the future to decide.

and altogether untitled to represent a

be anything but fire proof 1t is to be
hoped that the new building will be
thoroughly modern in this respect.
A fine court house adds much to the

say that new one in Manitowoc will

we believe that it is just such things
which aid a towns growth and the lack
of which will hold locality down.
