Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1876-03-28


COMPLIMENTARY MEar1oN-Fron the
Martinsburg Statesman we copy the follow
ing complimentary notices of members of the
Jefferson Bar:
We understand that the friends of Dan'I
B. Lucas, Esq, of Jefferson will press his
claims for the State Senate, before the DEM
ocratic senatorial nominating convention for
the district composed of Berkeley, Jefferson
and Morgan. Ali right, the t.blue hens
chicken" will have an easy walk over" ia
Berkeley.
We direct attention to the Professional card
of Messrs. Nadenbousch, Wilson & Baylor, to
be found in our advertising columns. The
hrm is strong one, all three are young
and rising men in their profession. If the
firm does not achieve success, we are more
mistaken than We ever were in our estimate
of what talen; aud energy usually accom>
plishes. Those having business before the
courts or collections to make will find this
firm prompt, reliable and energetic.
We are always gratifed when good mans
name is suggested for responsible position.
1t is proof that there is some life left in the
land, and that eapability, trustworthiness and
character are not entirely at discount among
the masses. We last week gave place to a sug-
gested ticket for State officers, in which tho
Hon. W. Fl. Travers of Jefferson, was named
as candidate for position the Court of
Appeals. No man in West Virginia possesses
higher claims for that responsible position
few, If any, possess SO many. A lawyer of
acknowledged ability, clear. headed, learned in
all the depths of the law, quick of discern
ment, of untiring industry. pure and unsuI-
lied in character, his elevation to the Court of
Appeals in these times of official smirchiness
and general greed for place, would reflect
high credit upon our State. In honoring
such man the people honor themselves
We hope much for the democratic conserva-
tive party of the State, but we confess the
outlook is neither suspicious nor inspiring
The nomination of pure and capable men for
State Offices will go far to reassurc the people.
