tic Democrats OF that part of the State
He was elected TO his present office OF
Attorney. General, four years ago, by q
large majority over all competitors, and
we debut not that be will win the Cover
ship this fall by like satisfactory vote.
He is an eloquent and ready speaker and
will doubtless make q thorough and
bril- i int canvas.
Mr.. JOSEPH MILLER, of Csbell county,
nominee for Auditor, is young man q
rare good sense, agreeable manners, good
business qualifications, and great person
al popularity. He has served for several
years past as Chief Clerk of the Senate,
AID has made friends of all with whom
he came in contact. He will prove an
excellent man for the post of Auditor Of
State.
Mr.. WEST, of Harrison county
nominated for State Treasurer, is gen.
tleman of fine business capacity and un-
blemished integrity. He is very popu-
lar, wherever known, as is evinced by his
frequent election to the legislature from
Harrison county, when the officers OF
the county and even his own colleage in
the House of Delegates were elected by
Republicans Mr.. WEST was urged as
candidate for Treasurer four years ago,
and was then near q nomination. His
selection now will meet with general ap-
provsl.
Colonel ROBERT WHITE, of Hamp-
shire comfy, who has been designated
as candidate for Attorney General, is
eminently qualified for the place. He
is good lawyer, ::and the very personif'
cation of business energy and has hosts
OF friends in all quarters of the State.
Professor w. h. PENDLEToH, of
Brooke county, who has been nominated
for State superintendent Free Schools,
is one of the most accomplished scholars
and teachers in the United States. For
q number of years past he has been con-
nected with Bethany College, first as
Professor, and, since the death of its
founder, ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, he has
been President of the institution. He has
also given great attention to public school
affairs. He was q prominent member OF
the committee in the Constitutional Con-
vention that laid the foundation OF our
present free school system. and he served
as State Superintendent of Free Schools
in 1873, during the une1plred term OF
Judge LEWIS, who resigned the place to
accept seat upon the bench. If schol-
arly tastes and educational experience
are qualifications for the position for
which he has been named, then Professor
PENDLEToN will prove an excellent Su-
perintendent of public instruction.
Of the nominees for Judges OF the Su-
preme Court of Appeals it is scarcely
necessary to speak in detail. Judge
RAYMOND, the present President of tn"
Court, has abundantly deserved the en-
dorsement given by the Convention, and
is all the more graceful because it was
understood that, while the Judge would
not feel at liberty to decline
denomination, he did not seek it.
He is an exceptionally able lawyer
a just, uprigh. and conscientious man
and prompt and laborious in the dis
charge of the duties of his position. Hon.
OKKY JOHNSON, of Petersburg, who
has been nominated to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the expiration of Judge
HoFFMAN's term. Is we'll known through
out the State He Is good lawyer
Jealous in the discharge of duty, and will
render good service on the bench of the
Supreme Court of Appeals. Hon. I. {.
GREEN, of Jefferson county, was recent
ly appointed by Governor JACOB to fill
until after the next election the place
made vacant by the death of Judge
PAUL., and has now been nominated for
the remainder of Judge PAULL's term.
He has had few equals at the bar, and it
IS not doubted that his judicial career
will amply justify the high expectations
of his friends. He comes of judicial
stock, several of his family having won
distinguished honor on the bench in "the
old State"
Taken all together, the ticket is good
one, and judiciously arranged and care
fully distributed, and wc see no good
reason why it will not receive the gener.
erous, CORDIAL and unanimous support OF
tho entire Democratic party in West
Virginia. Let us 60 into the campaign
determined to give to each and all OF
the distinguished gentleman who have
been named larger majority than any
Democrat has ever received in this State
heretofore.
