the daily papers of the country.
The INTELLIGENCER, wisely, was
| among the foremost of western papers
to take decided stand in favor of the
principles that are the foundation
stones of Republicanism, and always
pursuing a bold and consistent course
of action in the PRONUNCIATION OF Its
opinions, 1t has done much toward the
unfolding OF that gigantic party which
| carried the country in honor and safe
ty through our recent four years strug-
gle, and is destined to- achieve its vic
tory of victories in the coming Presf-
DENTAL contest.
Our people here fully appreciate the
fact, as they ought to do everywhere in
the land, that the present is time de-
handing of every voter more earnest

any time recorded in the history

their efforts to the work.
Our meetings are strong in numbers
stronger than ever before Witnessed

are resolute in purpose, and display an
enthusiasm that is bound to tell this
Fall in the increased majorities that
will be the inevitable result. Benjamin
Eggleston, our candidate for Congress,
from the First District, is already elect

expressing dissatisfaction in reference
to p. w. Strader, Mr., Eggleston's OPP

voices, he could only make stagger

Democrats can he do now? And Mr..
Job Z. Stevenson is as certain of his
election to seat in Congress from the
Second District, as he is certain of any
thing in the future. With the Hon.
Gen. Sam. Carey on the other side-the
soldier, civilian, democrat, temperance
man, friend OF the cause OF the work

In his election.
The Democrats are weak among us,
and growing daily weaker. Their

In n recent conversation the writer
had with the late editor at the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, whom your readers well
know as an uncOmprOmising Democrat,
at all times and under all circum
stances, he said, with some re-
serve, in substance, hat in The coming
elections the Democrats were without
ray of hope, and in the National con-
test particularly, he had never enter
tanned for moment the idea that by
any practicable means Seymour and
Blair could possibly be. elected.
The question at issue is Union or
Disunion,.a las certainly as that there Is
solemn truth in the above expression
of our Democratic friend; and we look
to see West Virginia express herselfiu

Edwin Booth opens an engagement
with the National Theatre Tonight, in
his personation OF Hamlet. His en-
gagement will only continue through
the present week. He appears in Mer-
chant OF Venice, Othello, King Lear, |
and Richard Ill, during hts stay, and
the enterprising manager ofthe Nallon-
al will reap rich reward in this time
ly engagement of Mr.. Booth. This is
the only Western city In which he
plays this season.
Newcomb's Ministries continue to
draw crowded houses at their old
house, Woods Theatre, and it is uni
versally conceded they afford opportu-
nifty for heartier laughs, and more of
them, than any other troupe ofits kind
in the country. Cool Burgess played
the last of his successful engagements
here a few nights ago, after stay of
four weeks, drawing good houses
through rain and shine from his OPEN
ing night until his closing ONE. 30
These popular places of amusement,
together With our skating rink, which
has grown so much in public favor,
will furnish ample recreation and en-
ioyment for our own people and our
visiting population during the coming
winter. NKBB.
