WHY RYn1ER COT IT.

The Weston Independent makes
some interesting revelations of the
nomination of Floyd Rymer for the
State senate in this district as fol-
lows, which explain some things
that we're mysterious away from
home:
ga few fellows calling themselves
senatorial convention hid out
somewhere one day last week-we
are told it was in the daytime
and ran poor Rymer of insurance
fame down cornered him, held him
up and thrust upon him the Demo-
cratic nomination for state senator.
Rymer wanted to be the legislative
nominee in this county some weeks
ago, and he had enough sentiment
worked up to get it, and thereby
I lngs a tale. Along came the party
bosses, nipped his hopes, ambitions
and what he regarded as a sure
lcinch, in the bud, and down he
went beneath a conspiracy of self
Feeking Democratic politicians.
This ends Rymer,' they thought,
hut Rymer refused to die clear
dead at the imperious command,
and he said words and thought
thoughts that looked frightful to
the gang. we will appease his
wrath they thought, by making
him gratis gift of something
which is a great deal more valueless
than nothing, and so they came
bearing him the rich gift of his
in a district which no
Democrat ever created in the image
of Thomas Jefferson could hope to
carry. Whether it was borne to
him on a silver salver or common
chin has not been related. Rymer

"a him have conferred any particu-
lar favor on him by giving him

HE Democratic senatorial conven-
lion here that nominated Rymer.
Our understanding was that Lewis
county was entitled to nearly
score of delegates, and we thought
it strange that the other two eoun.
HES had eurtailed the rights OF
Lewis until even the tail itself was
nearly cut off. But the Weston In
dependent lets the cat out OF the
bag. Rymer is tabooed In Lewis

FRIEND OF LABOR.

The Labor World, leading pub
1ication issued at Pittsburg, makes
some very strong points in favor of
Senator Elkins. of this State, re-
gerding his favorable attitude and
record toward labor and the work
ingmen. of this country, as follows:
Labor has some able champions
IN the Congress of the United States
but of the nearly five hundred men
who compose the two branches of
That body there will not be found a
more consistent friend of the work

ms, United States Senator from
West Virginia. In his long politi-
cal career he has advocated every
measure which he felt was promo
tive of the best interests of labor.
He believes in labor. He sympa-
4hizes with it. He sincerely wants
st to have it's just deserts. He be-
heves it worthy of Its hire. And
his course as a United States Sena-
tor has been living out OF his at
titude toward labor.
