A correspondent Nominates Hon.
Robert +. Dennis for U. 3. Senator.
MONROE Co., w. Va. Dec. Z.


Editors Register.
The election of United States Senators
one to succeed Senator Davis, whose
term expires on the 4th of March, 1877
and the other to fill the vacancy created
by the death of Mr.. Caperton, is probably
the heaviest responsibility that will de.
volve on our next legislature. 1t is the
duty at all times and under all circum-
stances of the electoral body charged
with the election of United States Sena-
tor, TO select them from the number OF
those who are distinguished for wisdom,
moderation and patriotism. The duty is
doubly binding on our legislature at this
time, not only because the honor, repu-
tstlon, and to some extent, the material
welfare of the State is dependent upon
it, but because OF the influence for veal
or woe, which their selection may exert
on the administration of Mr.. Tilden.
Mr.. Tilden's supporters in the Senate
will be minority ofthst body, and upon
the wisdom and discretion OF that mi
nority will depend the success oil his add
ministration, The legislature of West
Virginia will have the opportunity to
contribute men IN every way qualified to
assist the great reformer il the work of
purglng the government OF corruption,
and restoring it TO Il sound constitutional
basis
Will our legislators, ignoring every
consideration except the public
good, cast aside all Individual
preferences; local jealousies and rivalries,
and address themselves conscientiously
TO the task of ascertaining, simply, who
are the best and most capable men. We
hope SO, and because. of that hope we
desire to call the public attention to the
character and qualification Of the Hon.
Robert +. Dennis, of Greenbrier county.
Major Dennis has been for more than
quarter of a century prominent and in
fuential citizen of his adopted county,
and now represents his district in the
State Senate, of which he is an acknowl-
edged and capable leader. A Democrat
of the strict construction school, in which
Mr.. Tilden was educated, his fidelity and
his present representative character at
tests the estimation in which he is held
by his own people. AS lawyer Major
Dennis has for many years ranked with
the ablest in his circuit and the state,
both as al advocate and counselor. Of
his short career in the Senate we need
not speak; the people OF the state are ia
mliar with it. 1t is sufficient to say that
he has shown capabiity, and that he is
an uncomprcmising foe to corrptlons
and frauds. DEMOCRAT.

Mr.. Blaine's Prospects.

In general summing up of the
situation, as it appears to an upreju-
diced observer, it would seem that
Blaine has been quietly becoming
stronger in the hearts of the people.
The veteran politicians who so saga
ciously predict the complexion OF
State delegations, have been making
estimates, and an intelligent CORE
spondent of The Baltimore American
says: "Mr. Blaine's. prospect never
was brighter than it is to-day'-and
in summing up thinks that Mr.,
Blaine will 90 into the convention,
composed of 752 members, with 3O1
delegates sure to vote for him first,
last and all the time. To secure that
number on the start, it is claimed
that New England is for him, solid,
with 90 votes from New York, 1S
from New Jersey, Maryland, 16;
Delaware, 6; Virginia, II; West Vir-
ginia, 10; Michigan, %; Wisconsin,
20; Minnesota, 10; Iowa, 90; Ne
braska, 6 Kansas, 10. 1t is also as
sumed that he will have thirty dele
gates from Illinois, two-thirds of the
Missouri delegation, and one-half the
votes from the Pacific States.
The same authority says Morton
will go into the convention with
about 100 votes, all from the South,
except thirty from his own State.
Bristow is expected to have about
eighty, Conkling about the same
number, Hartranft seventy, Hayes
fifty, "and 50 down along" The cor
respondent closes with the following:
"The sharpest campaigners have tried
to break the force of this estimate,
and given upit. ifitis too favorable %
Mr.. Blaine by few votes in some
States, it is more than balanced by
leaving him out of the account in
others. With 800 delegates support
ing him to begin with, it would be
an unheard of event for Il candidate
to fail of the nomination"
If these estimates shall prove to be
correct in the "maine," and Blaine
can command 800 votes in the outset,
it will demonstrate that with the
whole people his name is stronger
than any other, and it would indeed
be strange if the voice of the people
should fail to make itself heard
