That is every mans load and that sympathy shares?

Do you know what it meansust the clasp of the hand

serves to show that the Fairmont-

old-time modesty. This particular
line is to the effect that Representa-

enumeration Of tn. entire, list. n In
short, what it is oil about is rather
confusing. But it seems 70 be, in
the nature of putting out feelers
among the assembled brethren as to
Medley. Even George johnson, Of
Parkcrsburg, was caught in the act
of passing 1t on with a few choice
compliments Of his very own for the
Major. What that can mean de-
ponent saith naught. At any rate.
among the Watson followers Mr..

gubernatorial boom. which has been
seen land heard) floating through
the hotel corridors, but doing no
particular damage SO far as ascer-
tanned. 1t would be quite happy
arrangement no doubt to the Fair
mont .cabal to have Watson grab
a senatorship and Medley the whole
works of the state government.
There would never be any friction
between them. When Representa-
tive Brown heard this Neeley talk
his usually smiling countenanee fell
into grave aud thoughtful lines. Up

has had the calcium all to himself

he would like to see the adyalorem

Just al, and fair for all direct property
taxes to accrue to the counties and
