EditOrs Of the IntolllgcncSE:
Believing that through the columns Of
your most excellent journal we can reach
the greatest number Of voters In the Sec
ond District In the shortest time, we In.
dulge the hope that you will give this a
place in the 1NTRLLIGENCRR. The time
lor holding the Convention at Cranberry
Summit has almost arrived. We have
heard and seen but little from the Western
end OF the District as 10 what will DO the
probAbleresult of Its delib1ations. Mr..
Hagans, we have been informed, made q
visit to this section quite recently looking
after his interest, and with what encour-
agement he went home we are unable 10
say. We are fully impressed, however,
with the belief that he is not the coming
man. In this campaign the people are
not disposed TO regard (since the Pied
mont Convention) the contest 80 much as
that oil one party against the other, nor
as one section of the District against the
other. But they on the contrary, in the
nomination Of Mr.. Faulkner, regard the
contest as one Of ring Of politicians
against the people To-day the people,
honest pOterS, both Republicans and
Democrats, are looking forward with
considerable anxiety to the Convention
which ia TO meet at Cranberry Summit on
the 9th inst, as their only hope Of relief
from the thralldom that seems 10 be await.
ing them from the iron heel of the Ring
oil Corrupt Political Demsgogues who will
not only buy and sell their own party, but
the whole people II opportunity offer, but
also are themselves for sale when by such
course they can make II ito their own
interest to be so. We hope to see that
Convention well attended, the people well
represented by good and true men, men
who will weigh well their obligations,
and the great responsibility resting upon
them. Let that Convention consider well
the interest OF the people which have been
and will be entrusted TO their keeping,
and also the importance Of their mission
which is to select good and honest man
to oppose Mr.. Faulkner in this campaign,
one who Is able to meet him or any Of his
coadjutors on the stump or through the
press. One who will prove his superior
in the estimation Of the people at the bal
lot box In October. One who will 80
thoroughly confuse and put to flight this
horde Of hydra.headed monsters that they
will never again appear before the public
asking the support and patronage
of honest men. There are several
gentlemen in the District who, In our
opinion, arc able 10 defeat Mr.. Faulkner,
and who will be acceptable to every hon.
est voter in the District Most promi-
nent among these is the Hon. Waitmsn
T. Wiley and ex-Judge John A. Ollie
The first named, however, we think, ow.
Ing 10 his more extensive acquaintance
with the people and Legislative experience,
Is better fitted for the position. At all
events, give US q good and honest man.
We, in the Eastern Panhandle, (both hon.
est Democrats and Republicans) are
ready to unite and support good and
honest man in opposition to Mr.. Faux
ner, Notwithstanding his pledges and
promises TO us, which arc las he well
knows) impossibilities, namely, the
building up Of the ruins Of our town.
