Editors OF the Register.
Now that the glorious Centennial
Fourth is thing OF the past, and the
thousand orators whose throat poured
forth streams of patriotic eloquence are
sllenced, and the reverberation Of the
Centennial guns have died away, per-
hsps YOUR readers will not be averse to
coming back TO ordinary matters and 8
few lines from this section Of the State
may not be uninteresting
The people of Keyser celebrated the
Fourth of July by going en- niasse on
Sunday School excursion TO Deer Park,
on the summit of the Allegheny noun
tains. The most vivid impressions OF the
day are cars crowded to overlooking, dust
and heat gong up and coming back, IN
marked contrast to which was the cool,
refreshing breeze which greeted us when
we disembsrked in the beautiful grounds
attached TO the Railroad Companys
fine hotel, which seems to be on the very
summit of the Alleghanies, We had an
address from Mr.. George Price; then
dinner, stroll through the grounds,
music from the excellent band at the
hotel, and then the ride home, and "the
day was DONE"
Keyser is most interested just now in
the prospect of an extensive manufacture.
ing establishment within her limits by a
company OF gentlemen from Waynes.
boro. Pa A number Of gentlemen rep
resenting large manufacturing interests
ut the latter place have been here locking
around. and have expressed themselves
rs pleased with the location and natural
advantages of Keyser and announced
their willingness to remove their works
to this place from Waynesboro, if they
are sufficiently encouraged and seconded
by the citizens here. This, we under
stand, will be done; at least we hope that
our men OF means will not neglect this
opportunity OF bringing to our already
important and growing town these man
ufacturing establishments, which cannot
fail to prove a source of more substantial
and permanent prosperity than any other
enterprise that could be engaged in.
In the political world the nominees OF
St. Louis have been received by our peo-
pie with enthusiasm. All agree that ii
is the best ticket that could have been
made, and incomparably superior to that
of the Radical Cincinnati Convention,
Hayes and Wheeler. Tilden and Hem
bricks on .ht to win easily next Novem-
Der. The State ticket is also well re-
ceived here. The name of Col. Robert
White, OF Romney, who is well known
here having large practice in our State,
will add great strength to the ticket in
this section of the State
The next move on the political taps
will be the Congressional nominations for
this State. Keyser has been selected as
the place for holding the Convention for
this Congressional District The time
has not yet been fixed. The delegates to
represent this county in that Convention
were chosen at the same time that the
delegates to the State Convention were
selected. The vote of this county Will
be- considerably divided between Martin,
Faulkner and Judge Hoge. 1t has been
but recently known that the latter gen.
tIernan would be candidate for Con-
gress, but notwithstanding this | have
heard several delegates express their IN
tentlon to vote for him, and his friends
claim that his personal popularity will
secure him large proportion oi the vote
of this county and almost thu solid vote

As to county politics, we nav" candl-
dates for Sheriff whose nam"s are
"Icgion," and aspirants for ass",> rs, JUS
tees, &c, in prolusion. The contest for
the nominations will be very spirited, but
va hope that good men will be selected,
and that then all will give the regular
ticket hearty support We want II"
boiling; no Independent candidates. Let
us have long pull, strong pull, and
pull altogether, and we cannot iall to
reach the top oil the hill.
