Lincoln. He is the storm of unrest which
clears the atmosphere. but not the trade

CLARKSBU RG. W. Va. September .
In a telegram sent here last night from
Milwaukee. United States Circuit Judge
Nathan Golf states that his name posi-
lively must not be used as a compromise
candidate to settle the republican fac
tional fight over the governorship in this

that the representatives of the Swisher
and Scherr factions had agreed to with
draw those two men as gubernatorial
candidates and substitute Judge Golf as
the head of harmony ticket.
1t is understood that within the last few
days many kilograms have been received

Progress Must Be Sure.
But while We freely criticise opposing
programs and candidates.. We as freely
recognize that no party has a monopoly

Divided into different groups, espousine
different principles and advocating con-
hicting methods. our citizens are imbued
with the same love of country and arc
inspired by the same devotion to Its
interests We criticise each other with
out bitterness, realizing that in the con-
, tests of public discussion We find the
surest protection of our institutions, and
that we may confidently rely upon the
final Judgment of an intelligent and con-
scious electorate. I have an abiding con.
tidence in the progress OF the people
Resistlessly they move forward to the at
tainment of their goal.
Every privilege maintained at the ex-
pense of the common interest will finally
go the way of despotism and ancient
tyranny But in our progress we must
seek to avoid false steps. Ours must be
the rule of reason. clear-eyed. calm
patient and steadfast; defeating the con
spiracies of intrigue and escaping the pit
falls of folly. Supreme must be the sense
of Justice. with its recognition of oul
mutual dependence. We cannot change
human nature or bring about a state OF
society or of administration of govern
ment which does not reflect its failings
We rejoice in the measure of success

must resolve to devote ourselves more
Loyalty than ever to the general good
