The Attorney General

The action of Governor Dawson in
appointing William G.. Conley as At
torney General Of the state to sue
coed the late Attorney General May,
has met with the approval of the
people throughout the state. Mr..
Conley is one of the states lending
lawyers and is eminently fitted for
the Important office to which he has
been appointed. He is before the
people as candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for the office, and
has made clean and winning fight
In every county where he was given
Il chance he forged ahead of his
competitors and won the delegates
HIS nomination was practically as
sured and his appointment to fill the
unexpired term OF the late most able
official Will make his nomination and
election n certainty.
AS was announced by Governor
Dawson. the Virginia suit now pend
Ing made it necessary to act imme-
diately in the appointment of a sue
cessor to General May. Out of re-
spect to the late Attorney General
Governor Dawson would have pre-
ferred to postpone the appointment.
In order to be fair TO all candidates
he would have waited until after the
state nominating convention. But
the appointment at that. time be-
came necessary and Mr.. Conley's APP

to his qualifications to the high Of

for the place.
Attorney General conley is a ma
tive of Preston county, and though
thrown upon his own resources early
In life he has by his untiring energy
and indomitable will placed himself
high up in the legal profession of the
state. Graduating from the State
University he began the practice oil

of the finance committee was given
batch OF bills to examine, after they

of the convention today, as Guffey

nounced their determination to fight
to the last ditch.

1t was not alone personal con-
test but one to some extent involving
the presidential nomination itself, for,
If Guffey should be finally and de-
cisively endorsed before the conven-
ton today, it meant that one rally
ing point Of the antiJBryan forces
had gone to pieces; whereas the Cuff
fey fight on the floor OF the conven-
ton meant the first showdown of a
roll call between two elements, Bryan
and anti-Bryan. Here, then, was the
first alignment that might force New
York into the open and compel the
wavering delegations to show their
'colors.
To be Referred Back
/ By the decision of the committee
on credentials, Kerr, the Bryan ad-
.herent, was given thirty-four and
one-half votes to Gufrey's thirty-two
and one-half. The selection of Cuff
fey as the chairman of the national
committee will be referred back to
the Pennsylvania delegation, which
means that If the credentials COM
mittee's report is sustained by the
anti-Guffey forces. they will make a
new selection for national committee
man from Pennsylvania.

Future Water Supply.

~ connection with the subject OF
o bond issue for water works and
other improvements, there is at this
time considerable discussion as to
the Intentions of the national govern
ment in this section and what ef-
fects Its action will have on the water
supply OF the city.
1t is accepted that Congress will
be asked to make an appropriation
for number of dams in West Vir-
ginia which are to become Important
IN navigation, and among these will
be one across the West Fork river
just above the city and there will be
another at point short distance
up Elk creek.
The Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
through the United States Geological
Survey, in recent circular has gone
exhaustively into this subject and
found 1t practical to build such dams
along with many others in the state,
as we'll as in other states and 1t SO
recommends.
z That department of the govern
ment says the West Fork rivef is
readily adapted for navigation as far
up as this city, with the depth which
can be easily maintained at low
water. either by the method OF chan
mel adjustment or by conservation. 1t
further says one-half the flow of the
West Fork river can be controlled,
which would maintain the river at
an almost constant stage throughout
the year.
The report contains table show
ing the height of the dams suggested
and what service they would do. OF
the proposed dam across the West
Fork above the city. 1t says it should
be one hundred and nine feet high
which will give reservoir capacity
OF 24,700 million cubic feet or ca
pacity in catchment area of $50
square miles. making the area OF
flow line $1,000 acres. The Elk
creek dam will be 92 feet high with
considerably less capacity as the
character of the topography differs
considerably.
The intent of the government in
maintaining such dams would be to
retain the entire years flow until
such a time as the conditions make
1t necessary to use the water for pur-
poses of navigation.
With such dams reality there
would be an effect on the water sup
ply of Clarksburg. though coming
from the West Fork, and just what
adaptation would be needed is not de-
vised as yet. Whether the plan to
be outlined in the proposed bond Is
sue would be suitable and serviceable
in that event is mere conjecture, but
1t Is reasonable owing to the transfor-
nation of conditions that such plan
would be not only inadequate but en-
tirely worthless.
This is feature that should be
given serious consideration as 1t will
very materially affect the situation,
II such dams be established.

prepared by him for the Manual OF
West Virginia tells the story.

age OF p Mr.. Scherr was elected
sheriff OF Grant county. and was re-
elected In 1872 for a term OF four
years. In 1878 he was elected to the
House OF Delegates. serving in the
session of 1879. In 1880, he was
again nominated and elected sheriff
of Grant county. In 1884 he, was
sent to the national Republican con-
vention which nominated Blaine In
1888 he was honored with election to
membership Of the Republican State
committee, serving two years. In
that year he was nominated and
elected auditor Of the state, at which
time that office was on q >princely fee
system, the most desirable office in
the state from a pecuniary stand
point and one which mr.. Scherr's pre-
decessors made o fortune out Of. 1t
was estimated that the office was,
worth $4,000 annually. For four
years he served in this office, and
was renominated and reelected for
four years. for these four years a

Certain 1t is. proved by records. the
Republican party owes Mr.. Scherr
nothing. Whatever services he has
performed in It's furtherance the par
ty has bountifully repaid him for.
This argument advanced in his be-
half has no legs to stand on.
