Editors of the Register:
The pangs of disease have interviewer
themselves with my being, and turned
my garden of pleasure into an extensive
patch of thorns, and the pleasures of this
benighted land have given place to the
"seven plaques of Egypt" Mr. Editor,
did you ever roll and tumble, upon bed
for the space of one or two months? Ii
not AID you have no desire to exper.
Iment, l would advise you to take big
dose OF something that does not require
long to bring the answer. AT the first
grippe, where reside, l lost all thought
OF the various political campaign raids l
had premedltated upon The "secret SER
vice fund" but / think can rearrange
nv plans without much trouble. Messrs.
Editors, don't get alarmed, for l have no
epidemic that Uncle Sam can carry on
paper, 50 rest easy
The editor of the Neaos has plenty OF
cash OH hand at present, and he is hap
DIV. L. is thought that he will be under
the necessity OF charging his paper to nc
comodate the announcements for office.
The sheriff leads the van with five
aspirants. Who the fortunate one will
be | cannot at present say, but this much
| do know, he will be good man and n
Democrat.
We have three aspirants for the House
o.. Delegates. Mr.. j. r. Somervllle Is
head and shoulders ahead in the race at
present, and it is thought be will distance
his competitors on the home stretch. Our
last representative has his card out for
another term, but boys you must learn to
content yourselves with one term, as that
is all old Brooke allows you. Mr.. 3, is
the very man for that position. and he Is
the man we are going to vote for. we
and our boys can give him near dozen
votes. He is the man, and the leading
Democrats throughout the county declare
IN his favor
Mr.. Hindman, We believe, Is Brookes
favorite for the State Senate.
Our State Convention Is soon to con-
venc, ms Democrats it behoves us 10 be
careful who represents us in said Con,
vention Ii we send good men we Will
have ticket that every Democrat IN the
State will be proud of. Keep the schem'
ing politicians ut home, Tor many OF them
are a curse to humanity. Each county
has good men that they can send to the
Convention, and if they send them there
need be no fear of defeat next fall, for,
with "A good ticket, West Virginia will
poll a larger Democratic vote than ever.
We have seen the evil consequences OF
IA Convention composed OF ONCE hunters
and never wish to see the scene re-enact-
ed. Fellow Democrats, look to your in
terests and send good men to Charleston:
Give us good delegates, and we Will
guarantee II good State ticket. We have
no choice, and If we mad we should not
feel disposed to dictate 10 the Convention
who To nominate for the various offices
to be filed.
Who is that unknown man? In which
party will he figure most conspicuously!
The Raids think he marches under the
bloody shirt standard. Who is heY Grant
has gone to the dogs, and if he does not
tumble from his high position before his
term expires, he will crawl down dis
yrsced and d:shonored to let the I'M
known man ascend. Morton thinks he
has his foot on Blaine's neck, but he had
better look sharp, or the scales Will turn
a, Cincinnati. Upon the Radical side,
we think the contest Will he between
Blaine ard Conkling.
Who is the Democratic unknown man
Thurman or Hendricks, We think. de
will be a western man whoever ne Is.
We will be willing TO grid on the armor
with either Thurman or Hendricks rs
leaders, and feel confident OF victory.
We can elect A President this Fall, and
we ,eiU do it; it matters not how much
public money our enemies may spehd.
the taxpayers are tired OF having 'heir
hard-earned money stolen.
We have in our possession most SIM
gulsr tooth. 1t is about three inches In
circumference and two and II hall inches
IN l,.noth The roots are broken of near
the body of the tooth 1t formerly had
four roots. What it is out of l would
ike to know. Is It an Indian tooth. or
the tooth of All Schtheosansus!
Our friends in Bethany are IN not
water To find out who we are. IL they
ascend Logan run until they come to
certain coal bank, and explore It, they
may have their curiosity satisfied he
member it is guarded by two seven
shooters and six blood-heunds.
We ran across paragraph IN paper
the other day, which We quote, as IL mas
MOI al that has lstely become evident; r..
.a;en Grant was bred by myself. HIS
s;-s was Hammond's sweerstsse; his dam
