never in my life felt in Il more con-
gratulatory mood over u political event
of not full national Importance than do
Just now over the Democratic State Sell
atOr nomination made ut Wheeling, last
Friday. Without the least intention Of
tlattery or puticry, say that within the
three counties OF Ohio, Brooke and Ham
cock there l. not another man rs well
qualified in all respects 10 represent this
district in the upper House Of our State
Legislature rs General Punncll. Intel
lig"nt industrious, experienced, honest
and honorable, he is the man for the
place, | say, above any other that could
have been named. You are not likely to
win reputation rs Seer for having
prophesird Gen. Pannclrs election; for
that is an event SO nearly cdrta'M "a 10
take it clean out Of the province Of vati-
cination. His party vote itself lnSurrs
his election; but | am quit" sure MIR.
Pannell will take more than his party
vote, and that against any opponent that
may be put against him.
OCTOBER 9TH, lS74.-Thr above para
graph was the extent | had attained III
Il letter for you last week, when inter-
ruptcd, and prevented from COM
plrting the same until too late
an hour for your last WEEKLY.
OF course at the time | wrote | was ig-
norant of DIR. LoganS nomination by the
Radicals as Gen. PannelrS opponent,
and now, in full knowledge of the latter
fact, have only to repeat what have
said. DIR. Logan's eminent responsibility
and general excellence of character ! dc
not deny. Yet an intelligent citizen Of
the Panhandle Senate district, when h"
comes to take fair and honest account
of the two men, touching their fitness in
all respects to sit in the Legislature a.
his representative, cannot fail to find his
divided preferences settling at the last,
steadily and decidedly, toward the side
of Gen. Pannell and it will be the SUI
perior efficiency of that tireless and in
domitable little man that will decide the
matter. As your intelligent Hancock
correspondent an" informed YOU, this
county is all right on the Senate.
As vet the political pulse of our
community beats duly John y.
Campbell Rad. candidate for Delegate,
Mes<rs. Pugh and Stedman hlS
defeated competitor,D and Rev. Mr.,
Pomeroy appeared before y small audi
ence of sleepy devotees enxsnight last
week. and blOviatcd until s9hte hour. 1t
has never vet been ascertained at what
hour Campbell, who spoke last, got
through, Us those who remained to the
last were either asleep ut the finish, or
were talked out of the power OF memory
or any mental capability. ,
On Wednesday We are to have Got
and Mr.. Logan to talk to the loll of&4
county, and inspire them to still loftfer
loilty' We are informed also, that on
the same day Col. Wilson is to be here;
but if this BE- so we are at loss to under
stand why some public announcement "i
the fact has not been made.
An election under the provisions Of the
school law, IL determine whether there
should be- seven months, or only the reg
ular four months of school i'll this district
WAS held on Saturday last. The PROPOSE
ton carried nearly unanimously.
This fine weather gives our farmers al
excellent opportunity for doing up then
fall work. Thevsre beginning to husS
one of the best corn crops ever raised N
the county The new-sown wheat ""ihr'
up nicely. 'AN'IL'N
