WANTS TO BE A SENATOR.

AT the beginning of the Tax Re
form agitation many of the wise
heads in the Republican party gave
1t, as their opinion that 1t was done
for no other purpose than to make a
Governor of our own Billy Dawson
and United States Senator out of
Gov. A. b. White. Mr.. Dawson
never denied the soft impeachment
but Gov. White stubbornly denied
that he had any aspirations for the
Senatorship. Still the brethren were
a little suspicious of Gov. White
and lost no opportunity to have him
deny emphatically on divers occa
sions that he was not candidate.
1t now transpires that Gov. White
has announced that the Senatorial
toga worn by Nathan Bay Scott Will
just fit his Adohis form. So the
contest is on between White and
Scott. AS far as ability goes White
is head and shoulders above Scott.
But Scott has the coin of the realm
which has a potent influence with
Republicans when it comes to vot-
ing. If Scott holds this magic
wand over them he stands IA good
chance of capturing the Senatorial
prize. But White is backed by
Dawson who is undoubtedly one IF
the greatest organizers in the State.
The White Dawson combination
have all the State machinery in their
own hands and they need no coach
ing how to handle it effectively so it
will work in the interest of White.
The State patronage far exceeds the
National patronage, and besides the
National patronage is divided up
between the Senators and Congress
m en-, while the State patronage is
held in bondage by the Governors.
Then again, Senator Scott is grow
ing old and the politicians and po-
litical heelers have been pulling his
leg quite brazeningly for several
years, and according to the cam.
paign reports Senator Scott was
compelled to cough up more than
once to save the State and Legisla-
ture. He may refuse to open his
barrel at the other end and let the
whole contents drop out when the
Senatorial fight gets warmed up IL
that event Gov. White would have
clear sailing, for as we noted above,
nothing will make the Republican
grafters vote it straight without
scratching like the spondulix which
is put in circulation during a Sena
torial contest. AT this earley stage
Of the game we believe we would
pick White as winner Both Scott
and White hail from the State of
Ohio, and so long as man from
the State Of Ohio desires a political

useless for a native West Virgiaian
to apply TO Republican Legisls.

AUNT OLIVES WEDDING.

Aunt Olive, as she was called in
the days when Abraham Lincoln
knew her, was an Illinois woman,
the story of whose wedding, as she
used to tell it, was decidedly worth
hearing. She and her lover, whose
name was Polk Eastman, started
off one fine Spring morning to get
married. They rode the one horse
at their disposal, the bride sitting
behind and holding fast to hen lover,
and their destination was the log
cabin of certain Elder Penney, who
had preached for some time past in
log church just across the Ken
tuckey River.
They rode all day, and when at
nightfall they reached the stream
and saw the lights shining in the
windows of the elders house on the
farther side, they found to their vex-
alton and dismay that the current
was so swollen by Spring freshets
that there was no possibility of get.

ing in the parsons cottage. They
did not know what to do; but at last
the bride suggested that they should
at least holloa, and blow the horn
which the young man had had the
forethought to bring with him.
They did so.
"He gave piercing blast" so
Aunt Olive used to tell the story,
"and shouted out, Elder Penney
