BIC YEAR WITH

SWISHER a SECOND
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Or An Andrew Jackson, Who
Both Were Great
Presidents.
[Communicated.l ]

The News says "Swishar has not a
single qualification for the office"
tgoverror) and then enumerates
some OF his alleged disqualifications,
could not to save his life write a
bill, could not to save his life con-
strue law constitutional or satls-
factory"
Could not to. save his life discuss a
problem In taxation or finance in a
forcible or logical manner. Could
not to gave his life write a message,
etc.
Now, let US see what it says in his
favor, for It pretsnds or intends to
be fair. He is fairly good politi-
clan of the modern school. To be
modern" and a good politician are
powers not to be despised in gover-
nor. He has character and integ-
rlty that the News will not reflect on.
His early educational opportunities
were not abundant. He began poor
and friendless." without powerful
family connections or the advantages
Vi NSIitu anu SuuGdlluI'
The News editor winds up by say
ing Swisher is not fitted for the high
position. l have read of some of
these same disqualification that have
been urged against many others.
Andrew Jackson, for instance, was
called unfit for the Presidency. be-
cause he did not know French, could
not preside gracefully at state diu-
ners, could not converse with repre-
sentatives OF foreign governments,
could not spell correctly, and because
his wife smoked a cob pipe. Not
withstanding all this, Andrew jack
son appears in histoEy as an able
President.
remember we'll when heard
numbers crying out that Lincoln was
not fit for President He was ignor-
ant OF the rules o: grammar, was
awkward and ungainly in his form
and manner; would be the laughing
stock of Washington polite society;
had been sold out by the sheriff;
could not run grocery store; total
ly unfit to discuss problems of ma
tionul taxation and finance!
Notwithstanding all these defects
the American people from their
common sense elevated Lincoln TO
the Presidents chair, and today no
man Is ashamed to say: II voted for
Abraham Lincoln"
The people of West Virginia re-
ioice in the fact that this state "of-
fers opportunities for young men for
lettering their condition" With ali
the charges urged against Swisher,
1t is not charged that he has been
derelict in his duties or betrayed
trust from mule boy in a mine to his
present exalted position Of secretary
of state. And, in appreciation of
his push and energy as a young man,
who has overcome so many Obstacles,
and In sense OF fair play, the people
will elevate him to the governors
chair, and feel assured that his execu-
tive ability will give the state fan
efficient administration, and the pso.
pie will not be ashamed of messages
ne as governor will issue.

MAN SLUNBERS
At H|SGONMAND.
Hundreds Of People See Gal.
vani Put a Man to Sleep
in Store Window.

The performance Of. Galvani, the
hypnotist, in putting a man to sleep
in the window of the Globe clothing
store was witnessed by a large crowd
Tuesday night.
Long before the time scheduled for
the commencement of the act, people
began to collect on the streets and the
air was rife with arguments, discus.
sions and opinions as to the possibility
OF the feat. The postoffice steps were
crowded, even the roof being sought
by number. while the streets were
filed with almost a regular mob, all
alive with excitment
The famous hypnotist finally made
his appearance and made short
speech to the crowd. presenting his
claims in clear and unmistalable
manner
Applying the hypnotic suggestions,
the subject was soon put to sleep,
and placed in the cot in the window,
where he will lie until tonight, when
he will be taken to the opera house
and awaked. His attitude is that
of the ordianry sleeping person, and
pedestrians on the street stop to gaze
and comment on the strange sight,
not knowing his hypnotic condition,
until informed of the fact.
