asking nomination. They want this
done just because Harrison county did
not go his way and in this they inten-
tionally overlook the fact that the other
two counties are largely and possibly
altogether his. In 0tncr words, their
idea Is that he must desert the counties
that stood by him simply because his
home county failed to give him more
votes than it gave his opponent. They
want him to knife not only the county
but the district as well. They want
him to revolt against the eountics that
have elected him to office. The propo.
s;tion certainly is AZ rcpulsive and alb
surd to Mr.. Hammer as it appears to the
Telegram.
The persons who are thus engaged
expect to turn the county and perhaps
the district over TO the Democrats By
working Harmer but there i no reason
to believe he viii stand for any such
attempt. Congressman Dovener is Har-
mer's friend and Harmer his. They
are very close. But that little crowd
seems to have overlooked this fact, AMI
by the way they are fighting Dovcncr
tooth and toe nail, and, when they do
this, they must know that they arc
trampliug on Mr.. Harmert- toes. He
will not enter into any combination to
defeat Dovcncr nor viii he lend his
name, reputation and efforts 10 any

Of the citizens Of the town having hal
their way and their win having pre-
vailed. Most Of these same men are
Democrats and are scheming to turn
the county over to the Democratic party
simply because they themselves are
Democrats. There could be no other
reason assigned owing to the fact that
these men can not know what will b.
the policy OF the Democratic party on
the whiskey question, since there ha,
been no party declaration on the ques
ton. Also at the convention were one
or two persons who are loud in their
prote-tations that they are Republicans,
but who, in fact, are openly known to
be working for the Democratic party,
not on the matter of temperance, bnt
as matter of politics and personal in
terest. One who has been a Democrat
all his life and is still Democrat and
who viii surely vote tne Democratic
ticket next fall, whether it be made up
of whi,key or temperance men stated
in open convention that one Of the gang
that processes to be Republican, but IL
using all his energies to defeat
the Republican candidates, wanted
him as the right man in the right place,
but later fearing that the secret would
get ont this man was excused "for COOL
reasons" from serving on the committee
to which he had been appointed. Again
there were fellows there who spend mos.
Of their time drinking and carou.ing
and they were active in debating and
making suggestions, evidently for the
purpose of mapping out the destiny OF
the Prohibition party in this county so
that it would find itself in the Demo-
cratic lap this fall. Nothing could have
been palmer than that the plan of the
little Democratic stnr-enamber the night
before was being carried out to the let
ter SO far rs it was in the power of the
Democratic clique's lieutenapts, but the
presence of few conscientious preach
ers and true blue Prohibitionists saved
the day and the Democratic schemers
have not as yet succeeded in landing
the Prohibition party into the Demo
cratic lap.

little Democratic clique, and 10 this they
add that there i worse combinations
Of Democrat here than could possibly
happen among Republicans. They are
impressed with the statements Of the
Telegram to The efTecE that that little
clique are in conspiracy to beat taem
out OF their rights, for they have found
it already to be true. The matter was
OF such a serious nature that the Tele-
gram would not dare treat it lightly and
that j. the reason We got positive facts
before we told the public what this
clique was up to. And what we said il
corroborated By Democratic candidate !
themselves. What better proof now II

To show the public Just how much o.
a Republican paper the Herald i, il
tells the public that one Of the advanI
tages OF being deaf. to use its own word
is that you escape campaign oratory-I
especially Dovener's vulgar bun story. 4
This is the manner of regard that shee
has for a Republican congressman, Wild
has had the distinction of representing
the first congressional district OF wesl
Virginia several years, and the district
includes several of the best counties III
the state. The little Democratic CLIQUE
in this city has always been opposed to
Dovener and that accounts largely foi
the Hcrald's attitude toward him. No
Republican paper has the right to hold
mp to ridicule the cnoice of the party
aud when it does so it fails to subscribe
to the platform and principles OF the
party and when it does not subscribe t.
them. it is safe to say that it is not OF
the party and does not represent it.

DEmocRAcYs PROHIBITION.


The fact that the late Prohibition
convention held here was mostly made
up Of Democrats is sufficient to convince
the general public that there was a
''nigger in the wood pile" especially So
since the Democratic clique held a star
chamber performance the night before
and devised means by which the Demo
cratic candidates conld get the endorse
ment of that convention. The Tele-
gram is in position to vouch for this
statement. and it is strengthened by
the fact that prominent Democrats We're
there to urge the matter of temperance
and 20 50 far as to say the Prohibition
party was the only party in the coun-
try, notwithstanding the fact these same
Democrats have been voting for men who
drink. since the Democratic party has
never been free OF that sort of candi-
dates. Again, it was striking that the
few active members of that convent ion
are man who are working hard to elect
a Democratic sheriff, although they do
not know what the party may do in
70 se'rt;;cn Of n candidate for the
P'lre. Tie men who were trying tn
work that convention did so without any
assurances whether the Democratic nom
inee would be a drinking man or a sober
man. Some of these same men owe
their pre- tigc largely 50 far rs property
interests are concerned to the fact that
their ancestors made it by selling in
toXicants to other people. 1t should
also be considered that the memory Of
man doe not recall the time when
plenty OF whiskey was not sold in
Salem and those who are so much exer-
cised over the question now never made
a whimper against it, when the Democ-
raey was in power, because of the fact
probably that prominent members OF
that same crowd were active in the
Democracy OF that day. The history OF
these people does not show that they
were ever opposite to John Barley
corn but 10 the contrary they
helped linn install himself in salem. The
main point at issue j. they think they
can play this game to reinstall the
Democratic party in this county. In
support OF this statement it Is onIy
necessary to .tate that the Prohibition
party has had an organization in Har.
rison county several years. but those

friends believe that the Telegram has j.
n for him and is not treating him fair
-. Their object in TIL, is to get him
sore.
The truth OF the matter IS the Tcle
gram respects AIR. Hammer and has in
fact the very highest esteem for him,
and there is no disposition on the part
Of this paper TO do him injury. The
ase OF his name in articles defending the
county nominees from unwarranted at
taelss by these designing Democrat. and
Democratic papers is because Of the
fact that they nave seen ft to make
campaign on Harmer, and to show up
their falsity it becomes necessary for
the Telegram to dwell somewhat on
Harmer's vote and not on Harmer him
self in a comparison OF figures In
other words they made the declaration
that Harmer was turned down in hi
county because he was from the coun-
try, and the Telegram TO snow the abb
surdity OF that statement merely show
ed that most OF the nominees we're from
the country Just as we'll as Harmer
This was no reflection on Senator Har-
mer. Again, they chose to say that
Hammer should be the nominee because
ne carried country districts and the Her
aid in particular tries to make the i'm
preston that that is the reason it viii
not support the Republican ticket. I'm
der such circumstances the Telegram
has shown the falsity OF that position
and showed 1t by calling attention to the
fact that the nominees also carried those
country districts.
The argument the Telegram puts up
in this respect does no injury to Sen.
ator Harmer, nor is it so intended. but
it merely exposes the plan the Demos
cratic clique has concocted to deceive
the people and to prejudice them over
Harmer's shoulders.
The persons and papers who are en-
gagged in this business of playing upon
the feelings of Mr.. Harmer and his
many friends, especially those who sup
ported him for nomination, have ever
hated and fought MIN. Not within the
history OF Mr.. Harmer in politics have
the Democrats had a kind word for him
or have they ever thrown any thing in
his favor or helped him in the slightest
They have no love for him now because
they recognize that he is a Republican

votes cast in the primary election in

A man floating on top OF log

that this poor fellow wished to
go to the Worlds Fair. He had
no money and started out to
walk from some town in the

that finally took a few railroad
ties and made himself a raft on
