The Democracy of Hancock fervently
hope that their brethren Of Ohio county
shall, through their convention this day,
give them Senatorial candidate worthy
OF their votes and of the honorable Of
flee of representing in the Upper house
one OF the most intelligent, wealthy and
every way important constituencies in the
State. With this sort of u candidate
they feel perfectly easy about the result
Of the election on the It'll prox. They
do not fear that any alliance, combl-
nation or conspiracy possible OF beng
effected by their opponents can work
the defeat of the straight Democratic
nominee, if the latter be one who Is
worthy and qualified. The best card
the Republicans can play, so they reeog'
nIZc l. the not uncommon one OF securing
some protesting Democrat whose fidelity
is sufficiently plant to the purpose,
to como ont on the independent scheme
But their confidence is that the card
won't win this time. No independent
Democrat need expect to be
elected in this district, this year,
against the right kind of regular DEM
ocrat, even with the full Republican force
cordially in his support, unless he can
carry ut least, 900 votes from the regular
Democratic party. | know of no Demo-
crut, who could be induced TO take the
lead in an "indopcndcnT adventure, so
taking as to be abe t. carry from the
perty IN Hancock the first of these hS-
ures, with the cipherS left of.
The ,ubjec! to which the two follow
ing items have reference has
aroused considerable comment and
discussion in the community. The first
i, rom correspondent of the It ub"n-
vile Gazettc,reportinS the proceedings OF
the Hollow Rock opposite here, in ONO
distant six miles camp meeting, who
says:
sectional lines were to a great extent
thrown off, and the different denomlna-
ton worked together in unity. Friends
and Protestant Methodists were assisting.
There were Presbyterian elders aud
members mt the altar seeking the bless
iug OF Sanctiiication.'
Next is an item from the Wellsburg
HcraiI:
MIR. f. Bali announces as the result
o: the Hollow Rock camp meeting, the
cor version of seventy or eighty souls
and the centre suntifcation' of ninety
or a hundred, among them Presbyte
ran elder and several Presbyterian ladies.
1t closed Thursday week
1t is this "santiiication" the "cntirc
qualification interpreted and pro.essed
10y its sanity posessors as total free
dom from sin, perfect guiltlcssness, ac-
ceptablc to God; beyond Gods WI! or
power to demand greater; this is what
gives pause to the less pretending pro.
fessors. and cxcitcs doubt, denial and
dispute. Then the Presbyterian elder
aud Presbyterian ladies; why should
they not comment about this, III this
strictly Presbyterian community?
The court house in this place is under.
gong a course OF repairs II new corncc
has been added and the building is 10
be painted inside and out; the walls are
to be repapercd or frcscocd, and spirc
IS to be run up, to top out the unfinished
cupola. Its highly meet that the seat
m which Justice sits should be beautiful
to the eye; for although she be blind, her
servants and suitors VIGOROUSLY are not.
The tightncss of the financial squeeze
i f,l, here now more than at any form
er time. We are Just beginning, in fac,
to experience real distress from the press
ure. Less money viii be brought into
the county this year from the surp.u,
products of the field and manufactures
tan any year since the war began.
The brick men along the river who
have been trying all summer to effect an
organization to regulate the production
and price of their manufactures have
failed of their aim, by reason otscveral
of the solid men amongst them refusing
toco-operate.
There Is II hopeful feeling among our
citizens that if the p. w. e X. railroad
is completed to Stcubcnviile, which all
well informed Wc!lsburgers, nj least, re-
gard as one o!sthe inevitable reaIizations
of the near future, 1t will be extended on
up the river front so aS to secure the rich.
