When Tilden was elected Governor

How idle for Coy. Hayes to talk

About three weeks has passed
since the nomination of the Repub-
lican County ticket, and up to this
time it has excited no enthusiasm
among the Radical voters, not even
among the colored voters, in this
part of the county. On the other
hand, from reports that come to US,
the Republicans look upon their tick
ct as u weak thing, combining Meth
er strength nor popularity. The Re
publicans, many of them, declare
that it will be defeated, and ought
to be. As for the Rev. Dr. Henslcy,
it is said that he can not command
the Republican vote in his own i'm
mediate neighborhood People do
not take kindly to the idea of send
ing a Minister to the Legislature;
and whenever n Minister leaves his
sacred calling to engage in politics,
he ought to be rcpudiated by the
people, which we believe will be
done in this instance,
Jabez Beard, the other candidate
for the House of Delegates, is very
clover gentleman, who commands
the aspect and confidence of his
part His unanimous nomination.
'attosg that, but he, too, viii be very
apt to stay at home, as it is proposed
to send Il full Democratic delegation
to Wheeling this winter.
Mr.. Shrewsbury, whom they claim
is the most popular man upon their
ticket, is in our opinion, about as
weak as any of them. He cannot
carry his party vote in some three of
the Districts, and he will not get
any Democratic votes. In 1872 he
was beaten for this office, his oppo-
ncnt having nearly five hundred
majority. In Union District, that
year, where the Republicans have
an average majority of fifty, Mr..
Shrewsbury was beaten over ninety
majority, The bittorest fight will
be made against him by the mem
bers of his own party.
Their candidate for Prosecuting
