The htslhiyneers suggestions that
the Governor ought to resign in view oi
the fact that he has manifested his in
capacity to manage the affairs of his
office creditably to himself and to those
who elected him. is not kindly received
by either the Fsirmount West Niryin-
ian, or by the Parkersburg Times. both
Republican papers, and, 80 far as we
have yet observed, the only papers Of
that class that have yet alluded to the
suggestion. We will be sorry to find
that the IatelGgencsr has not expressed
the wish Of its party in regard to this
matter, for we had some hope
that the Governor would hearken as
heretofore to the wishes OF the Radicals
and vacste the place which, as the
csll for his resignation confesses, he
has shown himself unable to properly
fill. We will be disappointed however
if our neighbor does not continue to
urge the matter, and it may be that he
may yet bring the Republican party
ani even the Governor himself to his
way OF thinking.
