1t is of the utmost importance that q
solid Democratic delegation should be
sent to Charleston this fall. Wheeling
desires the removal Of the Capital. This
is thousand times more necessary TO
her than the election Of Democrats or
Republicans. In this contest the vital
question for her is to decide which can
better facilitate her interests in this mat
ter, Democrats or Republicans. No one

will be overwhelmingly Democratic;

fluence and strength which spring from
entertaining similar thoughts, and stand

respect, A. }. Pannell is the most capable
man in the county, and if sent TO the
Senate can do more and will do more than
