convention which was prolonged, when

From a Democratic Standpoint

The Parkersburg Sentinel has
the following account of Mr..
Blackmarr speech before the
Congressional convention, which
met in that city Tuesday: "Mr.
Blackmarr, in assuming the chair
thanked the convention for the
honor and asked the convention
not to forget the iniquitous foe
that they had to fight, but he did
not state whether it was Teter
or Dawson that had to be fought
as he did not indicate the side he
was on in the controversy. He
mentioned the grand old Repub-
lican party as the only friend of
the working man, and said the
party should get out and hustle
for that vote. Of all the dema-
gogical speeches that was ever
made in this city, that of Mr..
Blackmarr will stand out pre-em-
inent. He shed crocodile tears
over the old soldiers, and whoop-
ed it up for Teddy Roosevelt the

Cong. Woodyard's Record.

The nomination Of Harry
woodward for a second term in
Congress is a matter Of course. 1t
can be said of Harry that he was
not caught in Bristow's drag net
and his record is good. He never
misses pay day, nor refuses a
pass. His long suit is pensions,
and he is preparing bill to pen
sion every man in Roane county
who will vote for him. 1t doesn t
make any difference to Harry
which army his constituents serv-
ed in, Federal, Confederate, Ger
man or French, so he votes right
that is, for Harry, of course. He
also wants an application for Mill
Creek to make it navigable over
the divide, the catfish have so
much trouble in dry seasons get
ting up to Lazyman's fish hole.
We believe that is a full and
complete history of his record in
Congress for the past two years

Stole Another Mans Wife.

Recently a minister at Clarks-
burg was charged with stealing
the wife of one of his flock in
Alabama before coming north,
and the charge was published in
the Clarksburg papers. Another

occasion to show that he is not
the guilty one by publishing the
following: 81 beg leave to make

Pure Happiness.

Look lnwards, for you have a
lasting fountain of happiness at
home that will always bubble up
if you will but dig for it." 1t
would be hard to find a more pro-
found philosophy of real happi-
ness than the ore above set
forth. We invariably look out
ward and expect to find the great
est happiness in external things,
whereas real happiness in life is
not an outward thing at all; and
even though changes and modifi-
cations Of environment do in
some degree answer to a CORES
ponding internal change, yet un-
less there is this internal change
there is no increased happiness.
which proves conclusively that
the happiness and pleasure re-
sulting from outward change of
environment is in reality in the
inward change of physical condi-
tions. Thus it is that we go to
the seashore, to the mountain re-
sort and to this place and to that,
in quest of happiness and pleas
ure; but it is plain that he who
has not all this within him be-
forehand cannot find it there.
This fact is proven by the fact
that happiness is in the physi-
cal, and not in the opposite. Hap
piness is organic, whereas the en-
vironing physical, supposedly SO
productive of happiness and
pleasure, is organic, and ne who
looks to this for true happiness
therefore looks in vain. No, it is
plain from the nature of the case
that he looks wisest and best who
looks within himself and seeks
and finds his happiness there.
