and Mr.. Martin. know this 70 be so,
because I have, within the LAST
dsy or so, conyersed with
the best informed politicians in that
county OF, the subject. From this Sena-
torisl district / know that I am safe
in saying that the vote will stand about
in this wise: Hoge will get this county,
Gran. and Pendleton solidly, and think
Hampshire. He will certainly get large
majority in Hampshire. Mr.. Faulkner
may manage to get one, or perhaps TWO
votes In that county. Mr.. Faulkner Will
get not over two votes in Mineral the
rest will be between Martin and Hoge,
so that in these FIVE counties Hoge will
lead the field long way. Mr.Faulkner
will be in the rear. West OF the noun
'tains, the vote am told, will be very
much cut up between Bradford, Martin
and Faulkner with Faulkner in the rear
again, 80 that looking at the field as 1t
now stands, l think, the chances are very
decidedly in favor OF Hoges
nomination. He will be stronger
man in the Convention than
Bradford or Martin, and the friends
of those two gentlemen will 60 to him
before they will to Mr.. Faulkner, as soon
as they see their man can't be nominated.
Both Martin and Faulkner are very un-
popular in this region, and as long as
there is anybody else 10 vote for, neither
of them can get the vote here. Our
people think we'll of Mr.. Bradford, and
would 90 for him before either of the
other gentlemen, provided Judge Hoge
can't get the nomination. But they will
stand by him as long as there is the least
chance for him. The Judge has great
hold on the affections of the people all
through this section. They are for him
first, last and all the time, for anything
he wants. 1 presume the counties OF
Morgan, Berkely and Jefferson will be
pretty evenly divided between Judge
Hoge and Mr.. Faulkner. know Judge
Hoge is very popular in those counties,
but MIR. F. must be able to WELD
considerable influence there yet. We
have nothing much to say against Mr..
Faulkner here, but we think he has been
honorable enough in his duty, and that it
is time for him TO step down and out, and
allow the younger men Of the party to
come to the front-the men who always
have to go to the front in times OF peril,
when such old gentlemen as Mr.. F. take
COSY seats in the shade and wait to see
how the cat hops. The party is III bet
ter trim in this section than it has been
for long time. We are united on every
thing now. Judge Hogels supported by
all the leading Jacob men of this region,
as we'll as all the leading Camden men,
with the single exception of Senator
Davis, who is for Mr.. Martin. From
present indications you will see that our
Congressional Convention bids fair to be
a lively body. 1t will be held at
Keyser. The time has not yet
been fixed upon, but l suppose it will be
some time in August or early in Septem-
Der.
The crops in this region have not been
better fcr years. The wheat crop is
nearly al harvested, and turns out we'll
generally. Some places in the valley
the rust has destroyed it, but most OF it
is OF fine quality. The corn crop will be
immense.
The St. Louis nominations take re-
markably well here. We are all salts
fled, and will put in our best ticks for the
ticket.
The weather has been very hot here
for some days.
The Fourth was generally KEEP: as
holiday in this region.
