Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention
meets at Charleston to-day. 1t bids
fair TO be the largest Convention
ever held in the State, and being
composed Of representative men,
with the "ringers and cliquers" left
at home, we can confidently expect
and look for an excellent ticket Of
honest men, placed in the field
There seems to be disposition all
over the State, to fight rings and
cliqucs, and the men who formerly
manipulated Conventions, have nc
voice in the Convention of to-day.
In Ohio county they have had some
misunderstanding, as to who are del
cgatcs, but this we hope will be hap
PLY settled before the Convention is
organized. The Wheeling Reyiste,
in speaking of the Convention, has
this to say:
at has one plain duty to perform
To select n State ticket composed
of men of unblemished character, Of
sterling honesty, of ability and ex.
perience; and to send as delegates tc
the National Convention, men who
have no axes to grind, and whose de,
votion to pure government will out,
weigh all personal considerations
If it fail to do this, it were better
that it had never met. If it fail in
this, it will strike blow at the as,
tendency of the Democracy of West
Virginia which will prove fatal to it,
This Conventionis in many respects
the most important one that has been
held in the State since its foundation,
and upon its action will depend the
future of the party. During the last
three or four years demand has been
coming up from all over the country
for new and better state of things,
Thepeople have been yearning for a
higher and better standard of qualifi-
cation in its public servants; a purer
and bettcrpolitical morality;an eman.
cipation from the rule of rings and
cliques. There has been a revolt
against what is known as machine
politics, and the revolution is not 90.
ing backward. 1t is stronger to-day
than it was one, two, three or foul
years ago, and it will be stronger six
months hence than it is to-day, The
party or faction which attempts tC
defeat it will certainly and deserved
ly be defeated"
We hope the sentiments expressed
in the above quotation will be car
ried out. We feel assured that il
will. The platform must be- an earn
est and liberal one, and should be {
compromise between resumption anC
initiation. The Ohio platform, We
believe, goes too far, while the plat
forms of New York and other eastern
States would work untold misery al
this time, We think there is a safe
underground that would do justice
to all classes of men, and that is the
one we should adopt, But what thai
underground should be, we are no
inancier enough to say, and vii
leave it to wiser and ADLER heads t.
decide.

The New York Times thinks that il
Brother Blaine is nominated at Gin
cinnati the republican campaign will
have to be one in defence Of the party
candidate against charges of jobbery,
The New York Tribune says: "The
opposition to Coy Tildcn is concen-
trating upon Senator Bayard. The
inAationists don't like one any bet
than the other, but it seems to be
generally agreed that the soft-money
faction is unworthy of any further
consideration"
Mr.. Bristow cannot be nominated
for President at Cincinnati because
he does not believe that II political
party strengthens itselfby Condoning
the crime of corruption. On this
point an irreconciliabls difference of
opinion exists between him and the
controlling elements of Republican
ism.
1t is firmly believed by Mr.. Came
ron's most intimate friends in Phila-
delphia that the willy Senator is in
mo wise committed ito the New York
candidates aspirations. But it is
certain that the son has been elevated
by President Grant to seat in the
Cabinet from which the father was
deposedby Abraham Lincoln, in the
hope that the movement will adj
vance Senator Conkling's interests.
The Republican editors who don't
want a military candidate for Presi-
dent, can support General Bristow for
he wasn't much of General, nohow.
1t is believed that sufficient evil
dcnco of corruption in office has been
procured by the Committee to justify
the impeachment of Secretary of the
Navy Robson.
1t is said that Schura would oppose
Blaine for his railroad-subsidy record
in Congress and his peculiar career
of railroad intimacies and habit Of
specializing in stocks that vary in
value according to Congressional leg
islation, He would oppose Conkling
because Conkling has been the able,
bodied whitewasher of all the noun
tains of dirt heaped up under the
Grant Administration and the fierce,
virulent defender Of all the abuses
that have made the Administration
odious, and of course would advocate
the election of Tilden and the reject
ion of Norton for precisely the rcas-
on that he preferred Hayes to Allen.
Tildcn is u hard-money man and
Morton is not.
The Richmond Wig truthfully re-
marks that harmony is the life of all
institutions, and especially is true Of
political parties; and notes, with
pleasure, that such is the spirit that
animates the Conservatives of that
State to-day, We trust that the hap
py influences which are now so pre-
valcnt in the old State may be felt
and experienced in the new, through
out her borders, during the approach
ing campaign. This should be the
desire and the wish of all true Demo
Gratis, and this is what we have to
work for now. Close up the ranks.

The Charleston CLrpnicic says that
Circuit Court Judge. Smith, last Mon
day morning rendered his decision
on the famous mandamus case, where
in the liquor dealers appealed from
the decision of the County Court re-
fusing license. The liquor sellers APP
pealed from the County Court to the
Circuit Court on the ground that the
County Court had no right to say men
should not sell whisky, if they offer
ed the license money and the socuri-
ty on bond, &c. Judge Smith sus-
tains the majority of the County
Court, saying the authority is with
that Court, to give license or not.

Eron Naninc to Texns.

The Wayne Airocatc says, we see
the name of Hon. Frank Hereford
frequently mentioned in the press of
the whole country in complimentary
terms, which fact ought to be a source
of pride and satisfaction to all good
Democrats in our district. Instead
of all this, there are some men who
are giving their efforts to effect his
defeat, but they are doomed to disap-
pointmcnt. We copy below short
piece from Il Texas paper, and ask
our readers to look it over carefully.
The adoption of the report of the
House Committee on Commerce with
out amendment, secures to Texas all
that was expected, for which she is du-
ly grateful. For this desirable result
we are obliged, in great measure,
to the very able and efficient man
agcmcnt of the chairman of the com
mittee, Hon. Frank Hereford, of
West Virginia, who handled the mat
ter as only an accomplished parli-
mcntarian and liberal-minded gen.
tieman could have done. Mr.. Here
will be a candidate for reelection,
and Wost Virginia cannot afford to
lose his services, He is just the man
for the place, and Texas, as well a.
his own constituents, will be glad to
see him return to n position upon
which he has reflected so much cred
it. The whole Texas delegation
worked faithfully in support of the
measures recommended by the Chair
man of the Committee on Commerce,
but Judge Reagan appears to have
given extraordinary attention to the
matter West Virginia has an ex-
ccptionally able representation in
Congress, among the most distinguish
ed of which is the honorable gentle.
