I, THE EDITOR OF THE FREE Press
As it is generally recognized that sIr. Faulk-
ner is prominent candidate for the U. S.
Senate, with fair prospec; of being elected TO
that position, and as it is not expected or be-
lieyed that he will be a candidate for rpnomi-
nation before the Congressional convention Of
this district it is proper that we now cast our
eyes around rs for worthy successor to that
gentleman. admit that Benjamin f. Mar
tin, Of Taylor county, has some strong claims
upon the people of this district but have
not heard from any source whether he will lie
a candidate Cor the nomination or not. lie
certainly has not yet announced any such pur-
pose. But we have one man in our own CON-
munity who, | Thick, is so eminently qualified
for the position, that desire TO call public
attention 10 his name | allude to William
II. Travers of this county. No one can dis
pule the soundness of his principles, the puri-
by of his character, the cultivation of his mind
or his ability aud maturity as a statesman
ale is we'll known throughout this district and
State; aud | hope it may lie the pleasure of
Jefferson county, and of the other counties
East and West of the mountains to give him a
, cordial and united support.

Judge Hogo for Congress.

EDITORS OF FREE Pass:
1t is now generally ana very well understood
that Mr. Faulkner will not be a candidate for
reelection to Congress. Almost at the same
time we have been pleased 10 hear the name
Of Judge Iioge mentioned in connection with
this nomination. In fact, there has already
been = strong demonstration in his favor in all
the counties this side of the Alleghanies, which
haye given any expression OF sentiment ca this
subject, viz Hardy, Grant, Pendeton. and
Mineral. His universal popularity in the re-
naming els Allegheny counties leaves no doubt
as to how they will vote. And if that portion
Of the district across the mountains knew
Judge II as well as he is known here, no doubt
the same could he said for it. IL would be
useless berc to refer to the eminent Qualilca-
tious Of Judge lIoge; even had we time to
write an article. These are as well known to
the public aS 10 Us.
There is, however, regret which we in CON-
smon with the people of the Judicial district
would have at the proposed change. And
that is the loss Of Judge II. from the bench,
should he yield 20 this unsolicited call J where
his legal ability and fairness have gained for
him so firm hold in the confidence and alice
tiOns Of the people. And here, in looking a.
, round for O successor on the Bench, we would
select the Hon. VIM. H. Tragers-as one who
would more completely iIl the vacant Judge
ship than any one we conld name, possessing,
as he does, all the essential requisites for the
position. Should the selection be left to the
voters Of the district there would he no dnutt
Of thoir choice III to the Executive we trust
the result would be The same.
