HE LIGHT is BREAKING.

The Morgantown Chronicle has
made the following discovery:
Pendleton county has only one
newspaper. The editor, A. A. Mar.
tin, has been a Democrat al his life,
and he stood by the party faithfully
in the past. But he is now thorough.
ly dlsgusted with the action of some
of the party leaders, and in the
course of a column article in which
he lays down some sound facts for
the Democrats to think over, he says:
1.-THE Democratic party was once
grand and patriotic, but men of mar
row and strange ideas have forced
out the old patriots and pushed
themselves in and are drawing the
party into hopeless ruin, and a mo.
ments reflection proves It true IN
this county. Hundreds Of the best
Democrats in the State see the new
tax law as we do, and Democratic
Legislative candidates made speeches
for them. The tax laws are here To

what brought 1t about. The "McIa'
tosh papers," at Charleston, and the
Petersburg DispatclrNews seem I'M
willing to accord very much credit for
the victory to the new tax laws, while
the Charleston Gazette throws up the
sponge and gives Governor Dawson
the whole loaf. In our judgment, Ma
tional and State issues worked in
beautiful harmony and joined hands
in bringing about the victory. Pros
periy and low taxes we're the slogans
used in all parts of the State and It
is but fair to assume that both male
a deep impression on the minds of the
voters. Had times been hard or taxes
higher this year, either might have
thrown the election to the Democrats,
but with work plentiful at good was-
es and tax tickets lower than before
for the masses, the Democrats were
left absolutely without a leg to stand
on. 1t was q case of either fly or sit
down, SO they sat down. If the Repuh-
