In conclusion. il i moi ont Of or

In conclusion, it is not out of or
der to call attention to the long and
successful career Of the Weekly
Telegram, which, though AZ years
old, retains all its influence and
power and is easily the best weekly
newspaper published in this section.
1t has fine advertising patronage,
is full Of gold news and reaches
thousands Of homes. Within the
past year the subscription, which was
always the best, has been largely in
creased, in fact at the rate, Of more

measures or acts that concern him.
The courts grant these rights and
they are as high and dignified as any
authorized public organization, or
branch of government. All these
NAV be lobbying in the true meaning
Of the word but are not to be classed
with those within the modern mean
ing Of the word. Even the rail-
roads and all other corporate inter-
ests have the right TO be heard. They
also have the right TO have their paid
attorneys 70 present their case, but
thy have not the moral or legal right
to employ questionable means TO in
huence legislation in their behalf
or to deter legislation that is
against them.
Legislatures can easily overcome
this practice. They must do it
within themselves by refusing point
blank to be influenced in any way,
whether il be by outright bribery or
by subtle attentions Of social or
business nature.
If legislatures can not and will
not throw off the corporation lobby
ist, plain duty remains and that
duty lies with the people themselves
TO throw it off by nominating and
electing men, who will accept no
favors whatsoever of those who try
TO carry legislators in their vest
pockets.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Governor Herrick's recommends
ton to the Ohio legislature that
primary elections be held for the
nominations of candidates for public
office will hardly please Democrats
generally, and we feel quite sure it
will not please the leaders of that
party in this county or state. There
are but few places in West Virginia,
where the primary election system is
used by Democrats. Instead they
use the delegate convention just as
they do in this county.
A number of years ago the Repub-
lican party in convention assembled
in this county unanimously passed a
resolution doing away with the dele
gate convention so far as the county
is concerned and there has never
been an effort made to revive that
practice, while among the Demo-
cratic leaders there has not even
been a movement toward abolishing
that system, which is becoming SO
greatly and widely condemned, and
there is nothing strange about their
failure to do SO either, for the rea-
son they regard it as a step toward
loosening their grip on the party.
For illustration, take the dis
graceful and treacherous chickering's
!, and plottings of the last Democratic
county convention. The trickery
was 50 apparent that old-line Demo-
Gratis 10 this day are as firmly con-
WINGED of it as they were the day it
happened, and when they left the
convention hall swearing vengeance
against those who had cheated them
out of their rights and thwarted the
viii Of the convention. No, indeed,
one does not hear the West Virginia
Democratic politicians demanding
primary elections, nor is there a
single sincere protest by the leaders
against the delegate convention.
Ohio Dmocrats will doubtless be
as deaf to the suggestion as West
Virginia Democratic leaders are
careful not to let such practices
creep into their party.

OUR BIRTHDAY.

With the current issue the Daily
Telegram enters upon the fifth wear
OF Ms career, and very gladly an
nounces TO the general public that
that career has been quite success
ful, it believes with due modcstv.
from every viewpoint.
The circulation is most gratifying,
being the largest and best Of any
daily paper published in this section
OF the state and not far under the
largest and Oldest papers of West
Virginia. Such is the extensiyeness
of It's circulation that il reaches
every point of the city and county
and numerous parts of not only the
state but the United States. and has
also some circulation beyond the Dor
ders of the United States. Long
since in this city it became generally
accepted that every one reads the
Telegram and that fact is not now 10
be gainsaid.
q : iie BUSINESS Ieidlloils WIN the
merchants and other firms have
been harmonious and mutually
profitable, and the advertising pat
ronage has been all that could be de-
sired, though there has ever been
dsire to aid the few who labor under
the error that advertising does not
pay: The latter class, however is
gradually diminishing and within
the near future will have disappear
ed altogether, a. they will be either
forced to advertise TO keep in the
procession or retire from business
because Of the lack Of patronage.

the city and county along industrial
and commercial lines. Gratifying.
