Shot Blu a BURGLAR.

Col. A. S. Fry, a prominent citi.
zen of Guyandotte and proprietor of
the National Hotel at that place,
was shot by burglar about three
o'clock Tuesday morning, Fab. 10th
Two burglars had entered the hotel
Office and with sledge hammers were
endeavoring To break open the safe,
when Col. Fry hearing the noise
came down from upstairs and sur
prised them. One of tie men ran
to window and jumped out, but
the other one was caught by Mr.. Fry
and scuffle ensued. During the
seuffie the burglar managed TO pull
q 3S caliber revolver from his pocket
and shot Col. Fry, the ball entering
The right side. Mr.. Fry fell to the
floor and the burglar Joined his
companion and they made their
escape and at last accounts had not
been apprehended.
The wound of Col. Fry is a serious
one and on account OF his advanced
age-he being almost seventy,
IL feared he will not recover.
Since the above was put in type
MIR. Frye has died.
THERE is more truth than poetry
in the following from General X.
ii. Freer's paper-The Harrisvilie
Eagle:
"Republicans who believe thew
can do AS they please, treat their
political associates in any kind of
style they choose, and manipulate
conventions to suit their own sweet
will, will sooner or later awaken to
the fact that the State has gone
back to Democracy. There Is a
whole lot of common sense in this
article and we advise you who have
Interior designs on the party already
formed down deep in the recesses of
your heart, to read it and profit by
it,"

The Ceredo ADVANCE might be
classed as mugwump, as it's editor
kicked over tho par;y's traces because
the State convention Of 1900 failed
to nominate him for State Treasurer,
Huntington Argus.
The irresponsible person, whoever
ne may be, but who writes for
REVENUE ONLY, knew he was telling
an untruth when he wrote the above.
The editor of this paper has Loyalty
supported the Republican ticket
always. Can the writer of the above
paragraph say as much for himself
aud tell the truth?

ElkinS-the Man OF the Hour.

1.-The Journal, the organ of The
knights of Labor" published at
Washington, ID. g., has for its lead
ing editorial, "Elkius- tho Man of
the Hour" The editc rial, which is
quite lengthy, is ably written and
proves conclusively that the Repub-
lican party will make no mistake if
Senator Elk,ns is placed on the
ticket as Vice President. Among
other things the Journal says:
"He is practical politician, and
there does not seem to be anything
so much desired in the Republic an
ranks At this time as good poll
tlcian. There is a plethora of states
men and soldiers. bat there is a pain
full dearth of the Hanna type of men,
who know how to do things, not as
highwayman, or foot pad would
do things, by sheer force, or gross
trickery, but as military genius
woIid pick up a fleeing scattered
army, and turn it into Que of victory.
That is the kind Of man that Steve
Elkins happens to be. He knows
how to get the votes and that is what
tells In an election. He combines
the organizing genins of Matt Quay,
with the executive ability of Mark
llama. In addition TO this he has
more than speaking acquaintance
with the great corporations Of the
Atlantic coast which are at present
afford'ng so much uneasines to the
occupant of the White House. Be
ing one of the largest and most sue
cessful industrial operators in the
country. Elkins is not only in touch
with Labor, blu, Capital too. And
this is not bad qualification to have
at time when these elements seem
to be diametrically opposed to each
other.
Those who presume to speak for
the administration, have already an
bounced that the opposition of Wall
street Is expected, if not actually
invited, that 70 icy would be ali
right with Democratic candidate.
Tor 1t would be in line with the
recent history of the party, but it
must be regarded as an experiment
to say the least, with a party that
has lived largely, if not entirely
through that influence in the past.
to convince the farmers of I'll e West
ern states that President Roo.evelt
is in earnest in his fight against
gigantic ordinations, of capital,
and at the same time retain the
essential SUPP ort of the capitalistic
interest of the Atlantic states, is
piece of political legerdemain that
only a politician of experience can
accomplish. No man who has so
far been mentioned outside of Elkins
could even hope to perform that
feat.
The Republican party has nsver
stood In need of a political general
so much as it does at this very mo.
ment. 1t has lots of good men,
lots OF nice men, but no Field mar
shals. 1t has lots of debaters, and
lots of eloquent speakers, but it has
few Quay's, Hanna's or Elkins's, the
kind of men who make party sue
cess possible.
