Elector for the State at Large.

Eultors ol the Register.
One Important duty that will devolve
upon the members Of the approaching
State Convention will be the appoint
ment of delegates TO represent West
Virginia in the Democratic National
Convention, which assemblies in st. Louis
IN June. 1t is necessary that our dele
gates to that convention should be men
whose antecedents are strictly Demo-
cratic, and who have been true to Demo.
cratic principles and measures; men
who have at all times and under all cir
cumstances acted and voted with the
Democratic p,r'J, and whose efforts
have been direct, to the maintainance
and supper. Of Democratic organization.
This should be required of every man
sent to the National Convention, in order
that the Democracy of our State may be
fairly represented
In view of these facts, permit me to
suggest the rane B. F. Harlow, Esq, of
Greenbrier, as gentleman in every par
ticular, qualified to represent us rs del
egate from the State at large. Mr..
Harlow has ever been an unfiinching
and unwaverIng Democrat. AS editor
OF the Greenbrier Independent he Las
battled manfully for the principles and
nominees of has party, ana has done
much good for the cause OF Democracy,
not only in his immediate vicinity but in
the State. HIS views upon the
financial question are sound and
in accordance with the views OF
the leading Democratic statesmen OF
the country. He is in favor OF the re-
peal of the resumption act, and, as ex-
Governor Allen expresses it, is IN favor
of - great deal more money and great
deal less misery throughout the country"
do not think that the State conven-
ticn could do better than to appoint Mr..
Harlow one Of the delegates for the State
at large. 1t would not only be an nc
acknowledgement due to the part of the
State in which he resides, but would be an
acknowledgement of Mr.. Harlows ser.
vices in the cause of the Democracy.
