become rich2
But if a few only were waxing rich
and the great mass of people were be-
ing reduc to extreme poverty, would
this grand and glorious country of ours
be what it Is today, the most progress
sive, most enlightened and most pros
porous nation on earthly Would we be
enjoying the necessities OF life, the
pleasures of society, the hearths of our
homes or the protection of our govern
ment? Would we be the people that
we are today and would we even have
any respectable form Of n united and re-
publican government
Taking IA concrete view of the prop
osition, what is there to show that the
great mas OF people, that is. the people
of this country as a whole, is gradually
becoming poorer, that the country is
slowly but surely retrograd;ng in its
wealth. its resources, its prodnctsY And,
assuming that it is, per reductio ad
absurdum, what b. there to show that
the cause Of it Is solely and totally due
to the fact that the Republican party
was placed into the ministrations of
the affairs of the government by the
vote, the viii Of the people, instead Of
the Democratic party? And in suca all
legged disastrous event why should the
people who have enjoyed the blessed
privilege Of being governed only .by
their own consent once, and, as it will
be- twice realirm that administration.
The only thing a sound and sane per-
son can get out Of this cry Is that it is
simply a cry, a silly, foolish, weak
minded, contemplate, idiotic cry.

1t is plain to be seen from the result
of the Democratic district conventions
that few town fellows, known as the
Democratic clique are doing their-level
best to control the Democratic conven-

remains to be seen whether the couu-

there is very strong suspicion that
they have been nominated as the result
of fx-ups and combinations by the

yates win stand for it.

RAHl FOR THE TICKET.

Hon William Mercer Owens Dawson
has been nominated as the Republican
candidate for Governor by the Repub
lican state convention at Wheeling. By
the time this article is read the eptir
state ticket viii have been nominated.
In the nomination of Mr.. Dawson tn
Republican party of West Virginia has
made wise selection He is eminently
fitted for that office He is a strong
mdn both in his qualifications for the
office to which the Republicans have
nominated him and in the field of West
Virginia politics. With him as the
standard bearer of the Republican party
in West Virginia the organization will
march to an overwhelming victory at the
fail election. The nomination of ex.
Senator Henry G. Davis. of West vir.
gfnia. for the Vice Presidency by the
Democratic party is distinct declara-
ton that that party intends to do its
very best in win West Virginia over to
its ranks this fall by all the means in
its power. This, of course, means extra
precaution, energetic work, strong nomi-
pees and united and concerted effort
of all true Republicans in their cam
paign this summer and fall. The nomi-
4ees of the state convention will bring
this about.
! The spirit displayed by the defeated
candidates at the convention is cnarac-
teristically Republican. The campaign
for the nominations has been long,
hard fought and in some instances bit
ter one. But as soon as the nominees
and party leader. at the convention saw
their defeat by the majority of numbers
they aequicseed to the will of the peo-
pie, turned around and put their shout
sders to tine wheel and endeavored to push
things to a successful, harmonious cul-
animation, and that for the very best in
terests of the Republican party.
The spirit displayed by those news
papers throughout the state who sup
ported the candidates for the nomination
who We're defeated is also admirable.
They pledge their hand and their best
work to the nominees of the party and
say they will do their utmost to assist
in leading the RepuDncan party to tri-
.umphant victory in November.
!. And 50 it is with the rank and file of
sfhe party. We are all going to put a
shoulder to the wheel and push with all
our might. And the Republican party
of West Virginia will win one of the
most complete and overwhelming vic
tories til tall in it. history.

cL1ouE,s HAND SHOWN.

The hand of the Democratic ring was
plainly shown in some of the district
conventions, and especially so in the
Coal district convention, where the lead
crs of the clique were much in evidence.
But there was good stiff minority there
that kicked whenever they could get a
word in edgeways, and from what many
saw they had right to do so. First,
nm attempt was made to stuff the ballot
box and it was accomplished. Next,
they saw the ready made tickets being
passed around by the clique members.
And other things just as distasteful hap
pened The feeling became so intense
that three hours were actually spent in
wrangling, the undominated part of the
convention asserting their rights even to
the end, but without much result. That
one convention was enough to convince
the public of the fact that there is n
Democratic clique and that it is deter
mined to rule the party and own the
nominees. All that rot the clique's or
gnns have been talking about, such as
inviting the people to come out and take
a hand, proved to be mere stuff. Forced
to make that invitation. they could do
nothing el.e, but the clique put forth
every effort, before and after the con-
vention assembled, to control it, and
from the results, Democrats even say
they did control it. With an exception
or two, the delegates in Coal district to
the county convention are members of
the Democratic clique, and the others
with one or two out are controlled by
that clique. In Clark the same sly
hand was at work, but the occasion
was sucn that it could not be so plainly
shown, although, when the way the dele
gates stand, it is clear that it got in its
work somewhat satisfactorily at least.

Northern Pacific Meets
Death.

Harry w. Fraser, an engineer in
the employ OF the Northern Pacific
railway, residing at 1870 Seventeen
and-a-half avenue west, was fatally
injured in rear end collision that
occurred at the Northern Pacific
yards at 1902 o'clock Saturday eve
ming. He died while on a passenger
train enroute to the union depot.
Fraser was pinned in between the
engine tank and cab floor. He had
made an effort to jump when the
crash came. An engine had to be
employed to haul the wrecked loco
motive away from the tank so the
injured man could be rescued. The
right leg was almost severed and he
was badly injured internally.
! Ole Bergstrom, the fireman. had
a narrow escape. He jumped from
the engine few seconds before the
crash came.
The switch engine, with ten freight
cars, Mr.. Fraser, engineer, was pro-
ceeding at average speed from Fifth
