have not named q single delegate from
Ohio county. What do you mean
by it? Do you mean to convey the
idea that Ohio county Republicans
have no prominence, or do you simply
mean to say that they didn't send their
prominent men to the Convention. You
forget that THOMPSON was there, DOVE
NER was there, HUBBARD was there and
Others were there. Yet you deliberately
willfully, and with. malice aforethought
fail to give them prominence. They did
not overlook this fact, and gave them
selves prominence. THOMPSON, you
know, made good deal of Radical fur
fly, and it maybe that the Gazette man
has gone home with sore back, and
thus seeks revenge. If revenge is your
idea, you have hit it most aptly, forthere
is no point upon which their feelings are
more sensitive, than that of occupying a
back seat. These gentlemen went to
Clarksburg with purpose to make their
mark, and if they didn't make it,
no blame can attach to them. They
tried hard enough, but oh! you
BLAINE men "set up the pins" against
them. How wrong it was. Why didn't
you let them set up the pms against you.
They would have come home in better
bumor. But, ah! yes; we forgot one
thing, and offer an apology to the Gazette
for our faultfnding. We had really for
gotten that KEMPLE did not so. All!
MORRIS, there is man when his arm
falls, it falls heavy. THOMPSON worried
YOU good deal, no doubt-he was only
the left bower-but if KEMPLE, who is
the right, had only gotten in, the InteIH-
gemcer would have played you a live
hand, and the way that the tricks OF the
friends OF truthful JAMES would have
been exposed would be frightful to see.
You cou .dn't have hooted KEMPLE down
no sir. There is no power that could
squelch him. And it is mighty well for
YOU BLAINE men that he didn't get there.
The slaughter would have been fearful.
The State papers are somewhat dlspos-
ed to be facctious over the proceedings of
the Clarksburg Convention. The Mar.
tinsburg independent has this to say about
the evening Republican paper of this
city:
Observation-Disclosures l.. Hubbard, Esq,
of the Wheeling Standard, gives hu-
morous account of the proceedings OF the
recent Republican Convention. Dana Is
quite wit. The only trouble is, he lives
in Wheeling, and they have the most
dissatisfied people out there to be
found anywhere. They never agree
Oh anything On everything
they are "miXtum compositum."-
Dana is troubled with this complaint
largely. 1t effects his vision and his I'M
Outstanding, and spoils his wit 1t is the
one thing that will prevent him from be
ing a great man. We are sorry TO-
Dana, because we had hoped that one
Hubbard would escape this affection. We
still hope he may outgrow his troubles,
and those "tricksters," inveterate polltl.
cal machinists, who hang on the public
that either in National or State affairs,
tthe Hubbards are above suspicion) when
they attend conventions should take this
Young mans wishes into consideration
and be guided by his wisdom and desires.
We trust his nervous system may not be
shocked by ahy inadvertance of the poll
ticians ut the coming Democratic State
Convention"
The satirical MORRIS, of the Richie
Gazette, fires his squib at our morning
Republican journal, and in doing so
brings down the unfedged Radical pol
itician who thinks it burning shame to
elect negro delegate over white Re
publican. THOMPSON ought to under.
stand Republican ideas better than that
Here is what the Gazette says:
"Ohio county should be more discreet
in the selection of delegates to conven-
tiOns than it Is at times. In this case the
name of the man to whom we refer Is
Thompson-with a ''p," we suppose.
Thompson is screamer, a regular old
stormy screamer. He made things fairly
howl at the Clarksburg Convention. If
he lives to be II couple of thousand
years of age he WILL perhaps
cool of some, and learn n little sense.
Powder Is good thing under some cir
cumstances. but it should be kept in
safe place This is the way with Thomp-
son. At the time of the next conven-
ton, the OHIO county Republicans should
put him in an iron bound cask, and store
him away in cellar. We warrant him
to keep. This advice is specially prof
fered to Archie Campbell, of the MteLLt-
gei,cer His friends, who respect him for
his ability, dislike to see him tossed
on the horns OF mad bull
and We do not think of any other COM
parison for Thompsens performance at
Clarksburg, in Arches favor. We
hope, if Brother Campbell cannot getrld
of the young man in any other way, that
at the solemn hour of midnight, with a
shining stilletto in his hand. he will
creep into the youths chamber and-stab
him in the tongue"
The Mteliigcncer folks ought to squelch
the would be assassin of the Gazette.
