arVnany


The call of the Democratic State Ex-
ecutive Committee for State Conven-
ton to be held in Charleston on the Sth
of June, has met the hearty approval OF
every Democratic paper in the State.
This augurs well for the coming cam
paign. A united front and a systematic
and vigorous fight, and success is
certain. We have no doubt the Con
vention will be largely attended, a good
ticket be put in the field which will re-
ceive the harmonious support of all Op
posed to Proscriptive Radicalism We
have received letters from prominent
leaders in different parts of the State,
all tending to corroborate our own be-
life that Radicalsm in this State has
seen its best days. The future looks
bright Reason is beginning to assert
its sway. The scales are dropping from
the eyes of the fanatically blind.
The Writ county Democrat referring
to our prospects says:
The Democratic party is i'll the field.
Their doctrine is being studied and
adopted by the great masses Of the peo,
pie. They are going to open the fall
campaign as honest and upright men,
and true constitutional patriots Of oul
country, and will espouse their cause as
gentlemen and statesmen.
The Honorable Mr. FarnSworth can
continue the ball in motion, and reiter.
ate his Clarksburg speech throughout
the State, if he chooses. 1t will hurt no
body. Such sentiments coming from
such man will serve as splendid
Democratic electioneering document
We are ready to fight them on that line
all summer, and know that it will aflix
the seal of condemnation upon the Radi
cal Republican party. Their time is
about up.
