On THEIR OWN HOOK.

1t is a significant fact that not a sin-
yle Convention OF the people has uomi-
mated any OF the boiling candidates nor
pronounced in their favor. JACOB is
running in the interest Of little ring
Of mslcontents who have made him
their tool. There has been no popular
expression in favor OF his candidacy
and no representative Convention has
suggested him for Governor. The same
may be said of Hon. JOHN j. DAVIS
for Congress, Who asked him TO be a
cuHdaie for rs-elsction' , He did not
wait for the opinion Of the people of
the District but declared beforehand
that he would be a candidate under
suy circumstances, whether. nominated
hy anybody or not.

RANDOLPH COUNTY.
o s
Meeting at New Interest," Splendid
speech BY ID. HI. Lilly, Esq'-The
New Constitution.

RANDOLPH COUNTY, WEST VA,
q, ..|' ! August 10, 1872.
Editors Of the Register:
The good people of Clay township
convened sn maSSe to-day, at New In
terest, TO listen to an eloquent speech
delivered by David II. Lilly, ESQ,
upon the relative merits Of the present
and the proposed Constitution. | can
pronounce no higher encomium upon
the ability Of Mr.. Lilly than to say
that he did himself as well as the great
subject he was handling, ample justice,
and in au able and pointed argument
summed up the objectionable features
in the old, and the glorious results to
be derived from the new Constitution.
! His argument was conclusive, and
did not isil to have an effect upon those
present. He demonstrated in a lucid
and forcible manner the fact that while
the proposed new Constitution warrant
ell to each individual citizen greater
security for life, liberty and property"
than the present, that it did so at a
greatly reduced public expense.
II sound reasoning and unanswera-
BILE arguments could make friends for
the proposed Constitution, then Mr..
Lilly speech could not have failed to
produce that effect. However, the
Democrats of this community will
nearly to a man vote tor ratification.
But all argument is lost upon the more
ultra Republicans. They seem deter
mined to verify the truth OF the old
adage that
"a man convinced against his will
Is OF the same opinion STILL
The position that J. ]. Jacob occu-
pies is certainly most unpleasant and
unenviable, for il seems to us that he
has become mere tool in the hands Of
the Radicals by which they hope 10
defeat the Constitution and thereby de-
feat the Democratic party. This is evi.
IDENTIFY the object OF the Republicans,
and if they are successful in their effort
the only recompense Governor Jacob
will have for betraying his party will
be to see some other Radical elected
Governor at the, regular fall election.
Jacob has taken the place Of the reg
istrstion law, for ike it, he is the
abominable machinery by which the
Radicals are seeking to retain their
political power in West Virginia.
So we think and 80 We will act by not
giving Jacob a Democratic vote in Clay
township. Respectfully,
~ MoUNfAINEER.
