SUSPICIOUS CHANGE.

The Times, a Democratic paper,
has apparently repudiated the
fusion idea at Fairmont. 1t is
earnestly pleading for a straight
Democratic ticket, Notwithstanding
that less than two years ago that or
ganization enthusiastically aided and
abetted the idea Of fusion. and the
latter aggregation won; it was the
aggregation in name, the Democrats
were merely sailing under false
colors.
In this connection, however, ii is
significant that the Times has act
ually repudiated, even at this late
day, the ticket it so heartily support
ed at that time-tired Of it evident
", because it deviated from the
Democratic way in few respects.
The Times now undertakes to say
the very men that opposed the Re
publican ticket then have been
swallowed up by the Republican
party and lions and lambs have laid
down together as one peaceful fam
lily. From This distance. the Tele-
gram is of opinion that the Re-
publican party has upheld the adj
ministration. when it was right. and
has gone no farther, and, if the men
of the city government down there
are to be beratcd for this. they ought
TO know that II is good for them and
every one else to work in harmony
with tie Republicans.
There is something. however, the
Times is evidently hiding. Ii is
the old Democratic trick of appar-
emily putting up its own fight. but
at the sam etime resorting to the
star-chambcr process of getting
few fellows to come out with citi-
zens' meeting or something similar
and endorsing the Democratic ticket,
or at least some part Of it. The
trick has been tried so often that ii
fails to fool, but there is nothing
like keeping fully posted on the
game, and the Fairmont Republicans
will likely not be kept mapping in
this respect.
Be it artifice or not. this change
of front has some hidden meaning.
and the Republicans of Fairmont
should be on the alert and ready to
meet that sort Of strategy.

There is lot OF filth and rubbish
in the streets and alleys that ought
10 be removed. 1t should not have
been there at all. Citizens ought to
remember that the streets and alleys
are not intended as dumping
grounds for garbage and other
waste, but for public travel. Again.
it is generally known, ought ia
be, that Clarksburg maintains a ere
matorv especially for the benefit OF.
the citizens of the city, but. il APP
pears, the pcple are too negligent
and Indifferent to use it, and unless
they do, the crematory ought to be
abandond altogether. Ii is a very
heavy drain on the finances Of the
city. The past month but few
cents over six dollars was received
from it, while the cost Of maintain
ing it was many times that. Even
the painting Of The smokcstack cost
nearly twice aS much as The amount
of. the receipts. Council and thc
health officer ought to look into the
matter Either have the people use
it or shut It down until they are con
WINGED that it is 10 their advantage
to use it.

The state organizer of the Prohi-
bition party hits the nail on the head
when he declares that fusion de-
Stroys that party. He speaks from
experience, so far as this county is
concerned, Designing Democratic
politicians in the Prohibition coun-
ty convention, and outside, hood
winked the party into endorsing
Democratic candidates. The Pro
hibitionists lost their influence right
there, and all know the result. Even
in that campaign some Of the
schemers, who threw the Prohibition
party and convention to the Demo-
Gratis, almost broke their necks in an
effort to elect whiskcy man for an
important office, over one who was
known to be temperate and in favor
of Temperance. In fact, fusion
made burlesque out Of the Prohi-
bition party, and none know it bet
ter than the state organizer. 1t is
little wonder that he should so
severely denounce the habit OF Dem
ocratic schemstcrs in constantly at
tempting to break up the Prohibition
party. He has discovered their
plots and laid them bare.
