OF their Candidates.
The Democratic paper of Wood cOun-
ty, the Parkersburg Sentinel, sees the
situation with clesrness:
"The Democratic disruption in Ohio
county don't heal up very fast. 1t Is a
factlonsl fight in which every body will
be injured except their enemies. The re-
suit of the. first convention was undoubt-
edly unsatisfactory as we'll as undemo-
cratic, and that it is far worse than un.
democrstsc is assured by the fact that the
successful party is receiving ardent sup
port from the Epening Standard, Re-
publican newspaper. The paper will
not, probably, be able to draw single
Democratic vote from the ranks, but its
advocacy Of men, or rather means ana
measures, which are pretendedly Demo.
cratic, will make fsltering and uncertain
men stay at home and believe that there
is something wrong somewheres. ANY
effort of this sort necessarily drives the
better class OF men away. Their nos
trils are not accustomed to the fifth
and nastiness OF modern political
trades and they have no desire for
any great education in that line
The nominees are entitled to the
cordial support of every Democrat in the
State, and the Democracy of this district
have good reason to want to be nomi-
mated, faithful and strong. The people
will vote, but before dong so will care
fully scan the record of the candidates,
and will want some knowledge of their
moral standing and intellectual capacity.
Any person who is not in condition to
expose himself and his past, fearlessly,
will do we'll not to seek to weigh down
the party ticket with their name as mill
stone, but rather get out of the way and
assist to put forward some one who can,
on account of his we'll known character,
for probty and high standing, unite the
discordant elements"
