state Ticket.
Some persons were hardly prepared to
credit the news from Weston the other
morning that the Democrat Of that place
would come out this week for Hayes and
Wheeler, and the Republican State tick
e; The editor, Mr.. .Woflindin, was
known here and elsewhere as a very
stringent Democrat, and as Democrat
who had served as assistant Clerk OF the
House Of Delegates last winter. Al

had served his time in the Confederate
army and had a certificate OF honorable
discharge from Stonewall Jackson. Theer

thorn in his flesh all the time. His own
language on this point is as follows:
