Wednesday afternoon Clark w. May was
nominated for attorney general in the
Republican state convention. His nomi-
nation came before the conclusion of
the second ballot. There was regular
stampede for him.
The, FIGHT for the attorney general
ship had grown rather interesting. The
first ballot did not result in an elecl
tion and ii second was ordered. The
frst ballot developed some surprises,
namely, the strength displayed by Clark

Mr.. Dice would be the stronger man.
Contrary to expectations. the name of
r. L. Gregory. of sistersville, did not APP

ordered to prepare a new ballot.

Blizzard.

excitement throughout ethc convention
i.all. The wshdrawal OF Mr.. Freer's,
name was the signal for renewal of
efforts on the part OF the friends Of the
other candidates to get song Of his
strength.
May Gsts 1t.
On the second bailot there was a
strong disposition on the part of the
Dice people to give their strength to
May, who has been regarded as be:ag
friendly to the Dawson element.
The first noticeable change came when
Harrison voted 90 solid for May. and
the break came when Preston voted %
solid for him, followed by IA from Put
nam and from Raleigh.
At this point Diec's name was with
drawn and a stampede was started for
May, resulting in his nomination, the
ballot not being completed.
In the evening after supper the Re-
publican state convention got down to
work with vim. t. c. Miller, the pres
ent superintendent of schools, was re-
nominated, Brilles, Anderson and Trot-

Is Secretary Root an migrate? When
he left the War Department the Presi-
dent fervently embraced him, hurrahed
for him, and sent a squadron of cavalry
to escort him to the depot. But Secre-
tary Root went on straight to Yale
and made speech warning the stud
ents against the usurpation OF public
officials; saying, THE more frequently
men who hold great power in Office
are permitted to override the limita-
tions imposed by law upon their pow
ers, the more difficult it becomes to
question anything they do; and the
people, each one weak in himself, and
unable to cope with powerful officers,
who regard any questioning of their
acts as an affront, gradually
lose the habit of holding such officers
accountable and ultimately practically
surrender the right to hold them ac-
countable It is understood that
the President used some very strenu-
GUS language when he read Mr.. Root s
speech.

There is one question the country may
be sure Judge Parker will neither hedge,
compromise, dodge or evade when he
speaks on August 40 That is his plea
that the South be left alone to settle
the race question. He thoroughly OPP
poses federal interference or legislative
amendments to existing statutes that
treat with the franchise of common
wealths lying south of the Potomac and
the Ohio rivers. He promised Senator
Daniel, who was at Rosamount last
week, that he would exercise his knowl-
edge of the law and reaffirm his sympa-
thies with the Anglo-Saxon race when it
came time FOR him to speak publicly to
the Democracy that had honored him
with its confidence.
Senator Joseph Bailey, of. Texas,
whom Judge Parker regards as the best
equipped constitutional lawyer in the
country: John Sharp Williams and
Grover Cleveland will be asked to read

livers it.

The following clipping is from Mem
pins: 1.-The indign nation among the club
women at the Mayor for mentioning their
card parties in the same breath with
the low dives, is widespread. and little
else has been talked about in social
circles for days past. The women are
willing to cooperate in suppressing
gambling, but think it absurd that
playing for prizes should be termed
gambling" That is just the way the
dive keepers talk about it. They
think it ''absurh" that cent anti
poker should be termed gambling, while
playing for larger stakes is called
amusement. II the Memphis "club
women do not wish to be s'mentioned
in the, same breath with gamblers,
they should stop gambling.

Interior, shocks the world" says the
Nashville American. Russia is

hundreds of thousands of the mos
bloodthirsty anarchists that any coun-

That is in sense true. But the best
way to 'extirpate that breed" is to
organize government ''fit to live

tanning a government fit to live

their government is not fit to live

are in revolt and the spirit of anarchy

anarchy had no abiding place; but
now that it is plutocracy, conducted
for the corporations and by the corpora

disorders disturb the land; class is
array6d against class. while hate and
passion widens the breach, and the
seed of anarchy is being sown broad
cast. Better go back to the simple
faith Of our fathers--a Republic, under

late the truth of the lines,

our subscribers are all interested in
that election. we Will mail to each OF g
of them copy of that issue-today s

Weekly subscribers have over the sub
scribers to any other Weekly; in that
we consider them In sense subscribers
to our Daily and entitled. both by
agreement and custom, to an occa-
sional number of the Daily. when
something of especial interest and i'm
portance transpires at time in the

too long to read it in the Weekly.
So at the same time you receive this
paper today, you may expect another
one tomorrow, containing the latest

has poor opinion of the high calling
of the clergy. Preachers, it says,
"are distractions. They are educated
apart and specially. Their lives are
narrowed down to one great mission
of calling sinners to repentance. With
this mission alone they concern them
selves. That is na1rowness next to
ignorance. 1t would greatly widen

If he would follow some consecrated
faithful pastor one week, to the homes
of the sick, the novels of the poor, the
jails the almshouses, the homes where
death is, and see him minister to the

humanity. The ignorance of the
writer as to the duties, responsibilities
and work of preacher, if that may
be excused, will explain and excuse
his poor opinion of the ministry.
