All this fuss about Dawson, Teter
aud tax reform is idle and vain. Henry
G. Davis is the feal thing as tax re-
former He is the very pioneer in the
matter OF tax reform. He is no slip

his word or the peoples rights. He
is a plain, conservative business man
who earned and enjoys the confide nee
and respect of men of all parties. The
scramble and fight among the war
ring factions OF the Republican party
has been a disgrace TO the State.
There have been more men killed In
this factional feud in w. Va. than IL

among the various candidates for po-

it is all in the best humor and with
n bitterness. The Statesman has no
candidates ard is pushing no man .
claims. The only EST we have to
make is that the. best qualified men
q ,ailaole be put on guard, provided
that theyiare Democrats. In the manag e
meat of the Water Works there should

te ldent has been t ere for a great
m my years. He has saved the city a
great deal by his careful performance
o his duties and though he is Re
publican he is conservative and pro-

emmendation for his retention.

A politician of Berkeley cou nty
writing editorially in the Herald lat
week made great expose in asking
the editor OF the Statesman whether
or not he had once written a letter TO
q member of the legislature urging the
defeat OF a bill providing for the re-
funding of the bounded debt OF Mar
tinsburg. We answer without hest
tation, yes, and we defeated it too,
al for the good Of the taxpayers OF
the town. There was no one in the
council at that time capable, in the
judgment of great many people,
of handling the job. but
when Mr.. d. c. Westenhaver
came to the council over the opposi-
ton of the gang, the people knew he
was capable to handle the matter and
the bonds were refunded and it was
the same way with the new
water work. The old set figured and
investigated and conferred without
limit but when Mr. Emmert came 10
the council he took hold of the mat
tie with his accustomed ability and
the finance committee soon had the
W liter works on the way.
Yes, we opposed manipulating the
b 1nds at that time and did so with
out any selfish motives for we have
never own corporation bond and
we know no one that does hold any
interest in hem.
The oditor of the Statesman has
never spent day at the State capitol
lobb, ing. He did not help to defeat
the bill providing for tax on Pull
man cars and get paid with pa SIS.
he was not party to the reduction of
the assessment valuation OF the Cum
berland Valley railroad, in round
number, from 500, 900 to $50, 900, in
Berkeley county and the B. & O.
nearly as much, all for a considera-
ton. We do ride on the railroad on

The Republican county nvention
in Barbonr county, the b ome of Con
gresham A G. Dayton and c. F.
Teter, candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, last week,
for selecting delegates to the state
convention, that rock ribbed Repub-
lican organ, the Parkersburg Journal
says "degenerated iuto a hage farce
aud was withal the most disreputab.e
aud disgraceful convention ever held
in political history. THE Journal say S
that Dayton was the principal sop
parter of Teter and was leader in
the disgracefnl proceedings, The
Teterites gathered fully four
hundred Slavs. Italians, Padanders,
Hungaridus and negroes from the
coal mines and oy brute force swept
all before them Capt. J. c FELTON,,
G A X veteran, attempted to speak
against the outrage aud was Knocked
down and dragged out. Pandemonium
reignei and many ofthe better class
who were supporting Teter tore of
their badges, carsed both Teter and
Dayton and swore vengence at the fai
election.
The Convention was nothing but a
mob aud amid it all Dayton mounted
the stage and moved that the dele
gates be Instructed for Teter and the
rabble voted the motion through.
Afterward the boiling crowd
got together and were proceeding t.
select another delegation when they
were driven iIcm the room by the
Teter forces and Capt FELTON,, the
cha imam was arrested The Journal
closes its inter esting accoun: of the
convention with these words;
The Republican politics of the
county never have been atsas low ebb
as they are now,it possibly means the
defeat of every Republican on The
county ticket, it means the absolute
and utter political humiliation of the

Roosevelt's administration has cost
so much that if the sums approprlat-
