REPUBLICANS RESENT
VICIOUS ATTACKS
Made on Their Party by
State Democratic
Press.

Charleston. w. Va, Jan. ls.-
The vicious and unwarranted as.

pers upon the position taken by the
fifteen Republican senator's is
strongly resented by the latter, and

quainted with the situation and who

sition.
The truth lie that the Republicans

the integrity Of the senate and to
ward off the political assassination
contemplated by the Democratic
senators. The Democrats, in order
to carry out certain cherished plans
well matured soon after the results
OF the November election became
known, formulated the program
which has since been attempted.
They worked surreptltiously and
with great cunning. They contest

DEMOCRATS WANT

rem In the State Senate.
Still DeadlOcked.


still deadlocked and there seems
but little likelihood Of the two par
ties getting together in the upper
house In the immediate future. Each
party has submitted propositions
and each protocol has likewise been
rejected.
The Democrats seem to have the
temporary advantage, inasmuch
should the senate be organized a
Democrat would be called 10 the
chair as president. This would per.
init him TO name all the committees
aud thus place that party In com
plete control. Then the Democrats
have contests on which they desire
decided before the senate is organ
lied. The Republicans claim this
ruse in order that some Of the Re-
publicans may be unseated, thus
giving the Democrats a majority in
both upper ard lower houses.
Then the Democrats would radistrict
the state to suit themselves.
The situation is becoming acute,
lnasmuch as the Democrats are is-
suing warrants for the arrest of the
Republican members. Should an
attempt be made to serve the writs
ii is likely that trouble will ensue.
1t is stated that procedure Of this
kind would he unlawful, as the law

they are assured of a square deal,

the Republican party have the chief
assistant clerk at the clerks desk.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS
OF TRIBUTE
Paid to Memory of Late
Senator ElkinS by Hon.
G. w. Atkinson.

Beautiful In sentiment ana ten.
der with words Of tribute to the
memory of lifelong friend is
the eulogy which former Governor
George Wesley Atkinson has
written regarding the death of
Senator Stephen B. Elkins. Sena-
tor Elkins and Ex-Governor At
kinson who is now Judge of the
court Of claims at the national
capital, were the warmest of
friends. The deep regret that is
evidenced in the touching remem-
brance by Ex-Governor Atkinson
is that which is felt by hundreds
of the personal friends of the de-
ceased statesman. The eulogy is
as follows:
"Senator Elkins ia no more.
He has gone from the throng of
the living to mlngle with the
millions that have gone before.
When a king is dethroned his
subjects rejoice, but when great
man dies the people mourn. A
tall cedar has fallen, and gloom
prevades, not only the state of
West Virginia. but the nation as
well, because his fame was nation.
wide. His sun went down soon
after it reached the zenith and
began receding toward the west.
When it settled beyond our viz
lons, darkness fell upon thous-
ands of admiIlng and devoted
friends. 1t was Gods will, not
ours. that his sun should set be-
fore due evening-tide had come
He could not prevent its setting,
nor could his friends prevent 1t.
All we could do was to stand and
watch and wait. We stood until
the light went out, while he met
the issue as only the stropg and
brave and great could do. We
believe a new and brighter sun
arose beyond the setting of his
earthly life. We believe that
death does not end all.
Some men flower early-others
late. Senator Elkins was a noted
man in early life, and was scarce
ly at his hest, when the final sum
mons came. He was just in the
early afternoon of life ard was
best qualified to grapple with its
sternest problems and be the most
useful to his fellow men Man

mske our plans, but they are not
always best, and a wise Provi.

may wonder why, but it is not fol

to know that there Is a God gu

The way is often dark. 1t il

pail hangs heavily over the dead

The golden bowl is broken and the
silver cord is Ioosened, we pause,
we wonder, and we weep. We
drop our tears. We pour out our
sympathies. But tears and sym-
pathies only aggravste the wounds,
unless out of the surrounding
darkness we can by faith in the
unseen believe Gods sunshine
will some day drive away these
