The Presidential Canvass.


The State election being over. public
attention is now turning to the Prcslden
tial canvass. Propositions are already b"
ing discussed for the formation Of Greeley
clubs in this county, and the consolida
ton of all the elements OF opposition to thr
prevailing National Administration
The fact mas as well be recognized n
the start that West Virginia is not ahso
Iu'ey certain for Greeley A much great
cr decentralization than anybody auticpa'
ed has been produced by the recent e'ec
ton This must be rrm,dicd in some
way. 80 that a united Democratic front
may be presented to the common euemy
at be coming election There certainly
should be no thought, on the part Of West
Virginia Democrats Of making the lat,
division perpetual lfthey expect to give
their State to Greeley aud Brown, they
should determine to work and vote in thar
direction, without reference to recent dis
sessions. From what We see and hear in
kanawha the prospect Of success in Thu
county is not remarkably fa'tering
Yet il j, no worse than it was year aeo
when Kanawha voted largely against til,
call for a Convention Two months later
she gave very large Democratic majority
What has been done may be done again Let
Us 20 to work at once and with a will, re
form the ranks. aud make fight upon tn
coming issue. about which there is no d.
versity Of sentiment among Democrats :
bet us not underratc any difficulties
that may appear to BE- in the way. Let
Us rather recognize them fully and labor
to remove them The friends Of the cause
in other States rely confidently upon West
Virginia as being certain for Greeley :
To make her certain, aud to justify their
confidence let the work Of organization
be commenced at once .-Coutcr.
Thn Cincinnati lsuelite Of August

tee Of Henry Wilson:
"Show mercy ladies' and gentlemen, to
Senator Wilson. He conlcsscs, repcu,s
and. besides, soft soaps you pleasantly :
When he said, in the Senate Of the Unit.
ed Slaes, the Jews were the race who
stoned the prophets and crucif,d the Re,
dremer Of the world he meant no harm;
when, as Know. Nothing. be in,uIted
every foreigner, and sanctioned pcrsccu

the United States and il was fa,hiouahl,
thea to 'rampl upon tho foreigner and
SpI' upon the Jew, But now it is all ov
er and Senator Wilson is candidate be-

Jews. Now h, is quite pleasant and
