Editors of the Register:
We trust that ut the election tO-mOr-
row every Democrat will deposit his bal
lot. An united patty vote will deliver
our city from the Republican trickstcrs
who have managed for 50 long, to retain
the best offices in the gift Of the people.
We have ticket, in all respects, superior
to that offered by the opposition. A. D.
Sweeney, Esq, is wcll-known as most
capable and energetic man, and who, by
his answering maintenance Of Demo
cratic principles, and devotion to the
best interests of the city, has made HIM
self particularly worthy Of being chosen
as our next chief magistrate. Most Of
the other gentlemen are also well known,
and doubtless will. rs they should, receive
the unanimous vote of the Democratic
party.
But as Mr.. T. S. Gillespie, our candi-
date for clerk, may possibly not be well
acquainted with the public at large, we
desire to say that he is anativc OF Wheel
inc, and that, together with his entire
family and connections, has passed much
of his life in our midst. He has always
been known as a sterling Democrat, and
his habits. education. and natural DISPOSE
ton. make him emlnently flied for the
position for which he has been nominated
by the Democratic party.

MIR. John Watkins, the notice of whose
death appears in our columns this morn
ing. was one of the Oldest citizens of
Wheeling He mas resided in the city,
and most of the time on the Island, for
over fifty years. For nearly thirty years,
he managed the ferry from the Island to
the city, and for twenty years was
collector on the bridge. Dur
ing this entire period he had
charge of all the income derived from
these sources, and frequently without any
check, yet he always accounted honestly
and conscientiously for every cent he re-
ceiyed; and was constant in his Jealous
protection of the interests of those by
whom he was employed. Though thous-
ands passed through his hands, he died
comparatively poor, and though good
citizen, and faithful worker, he bore yet =
still prouder reputation; that of truly
honest man. "Peace to his ashes
