The last message of Governor Glass
cock is one of the ablest State papers
he has placed before the public since
his term OF office commenced and he
will 20 out of office on the 4th day OF
March with the full appreciation CT
the people of the state OF his cOmpre-
iIensivc and accurate grasp upon the
needs Of all the people, and with the
general belief that lie has enunciatet
Them IN plain aud fearless manner.
We have not always agreed with the
Governors recommendations and all
his policies but we have not been one
of his troublesome critics. 1t has been
our pleasure upon many occasions 10
defend him against what We deemed
improper and lily founded newspaper
attacks. but We find nothing in the
message, nor expect criticism from
any source, which will make defense
nCce ssary. The Governor has taken
advanced progressive grounds III his
recommendations to the legislature

people part OF that which he recon-
menAs they will be serving the State
in al admirable manner.
Big bodies move slowly and mo-
mcntous reforms come slowly, but
there should be no delay in the most
OF the legislation he asks for, since
II in most part, has been pledged by
the platforms of both political parties
for several years. The message which
was received 100 late for publication
Saturday. owing to some delay in the
mail. is given in part to-day and will

Il is we'll worth the close attention OF
our citizens and we trust it will re-

John Wallace, OF Wheeling, presi-
dent Of tile Municipal League OF thai
city which is pushing the Wheeling
charter bill, has returned home with u
very favorable report for the outlook
OF the bill. He says that all the Ohio
county delegates are in favor OF it's
passage. We are not able to say so
l1nucll for the Fairmont charter bill as
I'VE do not know how our representa-
Sdpes stand on the matter. II they rep
resent the overwhelming sentiment of
the. people Of this city they will favor
ii, but 1t would be well for all the citi-
!, zsns Of Fairmont to write to them ana
ascertain how they stand on this I'M
portant measure. With the endorse
mhnt Of the Business Mems Associa'
\ ton. the Chamber of Commerce, the
independent Trades Council, and other
civic and labor organizations together
with a voluminous petition in favor Of
the bill, it would be difficult to find a
reason why the legislature would not
grant the citizens of Fairmont the
right to vote upon the measure. That
is all that is asked.
