The, tax question, in a measure, has
been paramount in the campaign thus
far. That viii be settled at the con
vention, which win take such action on
The subject as will be acceptable 70
either candidate for the nomination for
Governor Both have declared them
selves in favor of revision Of the tax
system, and 1t is reasonable to sup
pose the convention viii declare itself
on the question. When It does that
the nominee for Governor, whoever he
may be, must accept that as his policy,
and ii is safe to say that either aspirant
viii do so, in the event of his nomina-
tion.
Agreed on this question the RePub-
lican PARTY Is then in position to make
vigorous campaign, not against them
selves, but against the enemy, or the
Democratic party. And that there win
be perfect harmony in Republican ranks
as well as among the leaders there Is
no reason to doubt. The difference Of
opinion that has prevailed in the con-
test is not of the sort that gives the
slightest grounds to believe that the Re
publican party is not a unit, when il
| comes to the question as to what party
shall be at the head of government in
West Virginia. Every member of the
party fully apprentices the attitude the
Democratic party holds toward the de
velopment and property Of West Yir.
9inia, as well as the open threats it Is
making to the Republicans of this state
in the event it gets into power.
The state convention will duly con
slider all these things and conditions
and no false step will be taken to ait
the enemy. To the contrary, it is safe
to predict that the convention at Wheel
ing this week viii mark the Inaugural
ton OF the most jealous, enthusiast
campaign ever made by the Republican
party anywhere.

Any one that desires to know who the
delegates are to the Wheeling conven-
ton can find out by asking the score
tarry OF the county committee. Many
have lists of Them. There was never
any secret about it. The committee did
not publish them, as there is nothing
that requires them 70 be published The
Telegram would have published them,
if it had known there was any demand
for them to be published. No one
seemed to know anything about such a
demand but the News and Herald, and
either one Of these papers could have
published them. They could have got
ten them from the secretary, or they
could have gotten them from other
that did not belong to the committee
and who are not delegates. Wonder why
they did not yield TO that alleged de-
mand? From the standpoint Of a news
paper, they are to blame just as much
a. any one else. if the people do not
know who the delegates are.

DOUBLE DEALING REVEALED.


On the matter of platform, it was
heralded abroad that Bryan had won a
decisive victory at the Democratic ma
tionaI convention, when he succeeded in
having kept out of it gold standard
plank, and this information was graft
flying to many Democrats, even to Mr.,
BRYAN himself, but Judge Parker, the
nominee, put a very different phase
upon it, when he sent the following tsle-
gram to the convention:
4 regard The gold standard rs firmly
and irreyocably established agd shall act
accordingly if the action of the conven-
tion today shall be ratified by the peo-
pie. As the platform Is silent on the
subject, my views should he made
known to tie convention and if II proves
TO be unsatisfactory to the majority |
request you to decline the nomination
for me at once, so that another may
be nominated before adjournment"
The telegram shows that there was
a trick in the making of the platform
and that trick was for the purpose of
dcceiving Bryan and his following
throughout the country, AZ shown by
the following telegram sent by the con

THE STATE CONVENTION.


The Republican .tate convention TO DC
held IN Wheeling this week will name
the next Governor of this state, it mat
tcrs not which of the two aspirants for
nominate gets it, or whether some one.
else be cllesen.
Dawson has his following. So has
Teter. Both claim victory. The con
vention viii settle it. Both cannot be
nominated, but both are worthy. There
IS no man WHO doubts the ability Of
either, none who question their intcg
rity, none who say they are not Repub-
Leans. none who can tr7Ithfully say THAT
either is not a fit candidate, none who
will argue that they are not fully up
to the occasion. Dawson has been one
OF the great leaders of the party and
to him is great credit due for the party's
successes in this state. Teter has alsc
been much and prominently identified
with the party and helped greatly in
fighting its battles and winning its vic
tories. Both are experienced in politics
Both know the state and the sort of
government best adapted TO it. Both
arc firm believers in Republican princi-
Piles and policies. Both recognize the
worth of the other. and either one Of
them can couscientiousiy support the
other after the nomination is made. and
there is no question of doubt that they
win be found hand in hand working for
Republican victory.
The differences of opinion and atti-
tude on questions of public character
they now hold will give way to the will
OF the convention, which viii determine
the party platform and the policy TO be
pursued. They will present their re
speotive claims to the convention and
the latter will not act unwisely, but
sanely aud safely, with an eye to tbc
success Of the Republican candidates al
the fall election.
While there has been a spirited con-
tet for the nomination, in which friends
of both candidates in their zeal and en-
thusiasm have made bIunders which the
Democrats seek to take advantage of
yet it is not Characteristic of the Re
publican party to do like Dave Hill says
the Democrats do--that is, fight like
eats and dogs-nor viii that be an att
tribute of the Republican party in West
Nirginin this year. To the contrary
there will be unity of action and con
certed effort along every line to elect
tile nominees OF the -tate- convention by
the largest majority ever given in the
state.
The convention itself may as the RI.
suit of the tension that las been
worked mp in the contest be rather live
~. even stormy, but not with view to
high -handednesa to rule or ruin. Both
sides are wise enough to know that it |
