The Mason County Journal advocates
JOHN halls election TO Congress, because
Hall has bought it up to dcso. Hall is
the controller Of that paper for this cau-
vass. lie has paid for this privilege, and
of course, VIC hoM'tbat he sanctioned the
following epi'hets which were applied to
the editor Of the Register in its issue Of
September 10Th, viz: Inconsistency"
dishonesty" "dcmagogucry. "lunacy.'.
And in another article, in speaking
Of US: ''Ye editor is certainly drunk, era.
~, or fool" aud that We are not fit to
occupy seat in respectable geutle'
mans parlor." Now this is harsh lang
uage toward US, and without a cause. II
is just such language as nigh. be expected
from the uuprinciplel. hireling editor Of
The Jssrnal and pliaut tool OF John Hall.
We have endesvo,cd to so conduct this
canvass. as TO: 20 an5 way'to refer to Mr..
Hall other than upon the principles of the
party in whose interest he is running as .
candidate for Congress. We have no de-
.ire now to say anything whatever in re-
gard to bis private life; but ii be permits
this hireliug to again make personal at
tack upon US through The columns Of the
Journal, We will consider it as an invitation
10 do SO, aud will pour hot shot into him.
So far We have only shown the incousis:-
cncies Of Mr.. Halls address to the 70.
Ter, Of this District" aud of his sutsc.
quent Published letters; aud having sue.
cessfully dore that, we had concluded to
leave the old gentleman pass quietly along
the remainder Of tho campaign, because
We did not believe, nor DO We now believe,
that he can carry a majority in one single
county in the Third Congressional District.

the deep wild forest of what's now Roant
County, aud BY his unainchiug energy and
force OF na!ive intellect, be stands today
in the foremost ranks Of the groziers and
cattle dealers OF that fast improving young
county. When you meet him you meet a
oad.shouldercd, broad headed, generous
seatlem1n, ine specimen Of the West
Virginia farmer.
Compelled to hew out his own home
from tue West Virginia forests, he has
not received that degree Of polish and Cd
uca,ion which others more fortunate have
fal!cn bcir to ;but his quick and vigorous
mind has enabled him to CLEAN enough in
his leisure hours to make him a man Of
liberal education.

Convention be served bis constituents with
such satisfaction as to make him not only
their choice, but the choice Of the Democ.
racy Of this District for the Office Of State
Senator.

A. n. We started up the Ohio river, on

immasiucd it was the Point Pleasant

delightful. The farmers through the

Columbia we stopped few minutes to
transact some business, then proceeded on
our way to Mason City, where we arrired
just in time for dinner. Here VIC met cur
old friend, Prof. W. J. Kenny, Of Point
Pleasant, who extended US an invitation
to visit the Mason City Public School, Of
which he is Principal. 1t has never been
our fortune to visit a more orderly aud
well conducted school. Prot. Kenny, it
is generally acknowledged. has no superi.
or as IN educator in this or any other State
he justly stands at the bead Of the list.
In common with a large majority Of his
fellow towusmeu, We regard it as burn
ing shame, that he should be compelled to
60 from the town where he resides and is
property holder, to a distant place to
teach. away from bis family, when we
have school at his own home. that de-
mauds the services Of such aman SO much.
We here mention the fact that when he
was the Principal CT the Point Pleasant
Graded School, he kept the scholars under
perfect control. not allowing them to yell
like wild savages upon the streets, or to
trespass upon ueighboriug property. Let
US hope, however, that the day is not far
distant, when the public school of thi:
place will have 50 accomplished ard czpe'
rienced teacher as Prof. Kenny, presi'
ding over it. Z. s.
