A Ticket That WIN Win.

found the ticket nominated yCsteTuHy W
the Republican County Convention ior
members OF Constitutional Convention
and House of Delegates 1t isa ticket
which every man in the county will admit
is good throughout. There is nota detec'
live piece Of timber in it, The ticket for
the Convention is especially strong We
do not believe there are four men in the
county better fitted for seats in the Con
venlon than the Tour here presented
Mr.. CAMPBELL, the nominec for the dis
trict composcd of Ohio, Brooke and Han
cock, is well known to the people OF the
three counties us gentleman OF brains,
of education, and of experience in dealing
with public questions, such US cminently
qualify him to participate in the delibera'
tons of Constitutional Convention. No
man is better acquainted with the history
of the State or its needs in the way oEpub-
lie policies. He possesses also that per
sonal force and magnetism and the facility
OF speech that would naturally give him
leading position in such body.
Gov. STANTON and Mr.. PECK are law
yers who stand at the head OF tho Wheel
ing bar. They possess alike. great legal
knowledge, natural and cultivated ability,
and ripe experience. Both were mem
beers OF the Ohio convention twenty years
ago that framed the present Constitution
of that State. Both are peculiarly quail
fed by experience and study, for the du'
ties Of tho Convention. Thelr abili.
ty and influence would unquestion.
ably put them in the front rank, let the
Southern part Of the State choose the
heaviest metal they have got.
Mr.. WOODWARD Inns hitherto kept Aloot
from participation in public bodies. lie
is ut the head OF one Of our greatest manu-
featuring establishments, and being ri
once IL student and philosopher knows as
well ~ any man in tho State what Is need
ed to foster It's manufacturing interests.
Wheeling is nothing If not manutaCtur'
ing city, rs West Virginia will never be
anything II not n manufacturing State
These things being true, ii seems to lis
emirenty proper that some men like Mr.
WOODWARD he in the Convention. Hall
the Convention will probably be lawyers
Nearly all the rest will be farmers. 80
far ms we have learned the nominations in
other counties, Mr.. WOODWARD is the
first representative Of the manufacturing
interests Of the State put into tho field
Being 50, it ought to be matter of both
interest and pride with the working men
ortlis city, especially the iron men, to sec
that he goes to the Convention. We need
only add of this gentleman, that he is one
Of the most widely informed, liberal mind
ed and sagacious men in this or any other
community,-a man Of very fine practical
sense indeed, thoroughly posted and an
exceedingly keen and logical thinker and
tAlkGr.
ThcsetOur gentlemen, together, would
make delegation that would give Ohio
county, what she is entitled to, leading
and most influential position in the Con.
vontiOn. In short, we feel warranted in
summing up in the words (nlmosl) of
our respected contemporary, That 1t Is
quite "slch ticket as we like to sec pre-.
scented in so wealthy, important and pop.
ulous county MS this"
The ticket for House of Delegates Is an
excellent onc-as good perhaps ms we
have ever had in this county.
Mr. ChARKE is ayoung man, n rising
and successful lawyer, who In his half
dozen years in the city has won hosts Of
friends, and Is deservedly popular lie
is II gentleman Of ability, and would
make n ready and excellent member.
Mr., BELL, one of our leading iron and
glass manufacturers, is too well known to
need Introduction. He was member of
the House some five Or six years ago, and
acquitted himself with much credit. lie
led tue fight then made In resistance TO
the demands Of the Il. 20. H. H. COmpa.
ny for special exemptions from taxation
and showed himself both ready and per.
sIstent in protecting the interests Of his
constituents.
Mr.. llERvEY is resident Of the coun.
try district, though long in business here
in the city, and is well known in city
and country. Heis gentleman Of excel.
lent natural abilities and Is II finished
scholar; personally very pleasant and
popular man and one who could do us
good service in the House
With such candidates MS these, Whom
we have not commended more highly
than their merits warranty the Republi-
cans OF this county have done their duty,
us far as nominations are concerned. II
now remains for them to do their duty at
the polls; and it becomes all who are
willing to vote for good men ON their
merits, to ask themselves whether self.
interest and duty alike do not prompt
them to give this ticket an earnest and
dilgent support. We submit to any
candidman Of the other party whethcritis
not his judgment that the reputation and
material interests Of this county will be
better promoted by the election of this
ticket than by the success Of that pre-.
sented by the Democratic Convention
which assembled on lhc OH md whether.
