Mason County and The Capitol.

Mason County and the Capitol.
From reports from different parts
Of our county, we are led to believe
that a very active interest is mani
testing itself among our people in
favor of Charleston. Up to this time
no public meetings have been held
anywhere in the county, but prepa-
rations have been made to thorough
ly canvas the county as soon as the
county court is adjourned. Our best
speakers will be put forward, and no
distinction will be made on account
of politics, and we ask for them full
houses at every point they may adj
dress the people.
We may say that the vote cast
in Mason county will be almost
unanimous in favor of Charleston
What we want is to get out the full
voting strength Of the county, by
which means we can give Charles
ton $500 to 1000 majority. We
have the votes to give this majority,
if we can get them out.
Kanawha county looks to Mason
for a good round majority, and we
must not disappoint her. Her in
terest is our interest; and whatever
good may come to Charleston from
the permanent location of the Capt.
tol at that point, will result in the
same good and advantage to Mason
county. The permanent location of
the seat of government in that city
will be one of the means of build
ing up a fine, large, prosperous city
in the Third District; will insure the
speedy completion by the general
government, of the Kanawha river,
and its completion will necessarily
build up a large city at the mouth
Of the Great Kanawha; it will also
influence the early completion of the
Washington and Ohio Narrow Guage
Rail Road, as we'll as all Of the other
Railroads that have been surveyed
and mapped out for the Third Dis
trict; it will be the means, in a great
part, of bringing capital into the
district to be employed in develop
ing our rich mineral resources
These are a few of the many advan'
tages that will come to us from the
location of the State Capitol perma-
nently in our midst. And thisis the
way every voter should look at it,
the good that will follow its loca
ton.
Nothing but apathy on the part of
our voters will prevent us giving for
Charleston, the majority above men,
toned. Let every man do his duty
from now until the closing of the
polls on the first Tuesday in August.
With a full vote, Charleston must
win. Let your ticket have written
or printed upon it:

Democracy VS.. CarPet-Bagisnl.
The good effects following the es-
tablishment Of home rule in Louisi-
ana are manifesting themselves in
various ways "one of these" says
the Journal Of Commerce, Switch
business men at the North viii keen
ly appreciate, is the improvement
that is being made in the disordered
finance Of those States. 1t will take
a long time, perhaps, to straighten
out the tanglc in which the carpet
baggers have involved the affairs Of
Louisiana and South Carolina
Without yenturing to prophesy what
will be the end Of the rectification
now in progress, or how soon it will
come, it sufIices to say that there is
now much better prospect for the
honorable settlement of the debts of
those States than there has been at
any time since the war. The effect
of the recognition of the Nichols
government in Louisiana was almost
magical upon the bonds Of that State.
While the Federal Commission was
sitting in New Orleans and the issue
was uncertain, Louisiana Is fluctua-
ted between 10 and 76, representing
the hopes and fears Ofholders. Since
the Nichols party has had sway, the
bonds have risen to 90. There could
be no better proof of returning conf
dence. While the Louisiana fnan-
ces are thus improving those ofsouth
Carolina arc in a fair way to be
ameliorated. Reputation was nota
clearly defined issue in the late strug-
gle between Hampton and Chamber
lain. But it was well understood
during the canvass that whatever
the Radicals might design to dowith
the State debt, the other party as
represented by Hampton was oppos-
ed to repudiating it. The Conserva-
tives now in power, acting, we are
happy to say, with Radicalmin
ty, have gone so far as to pass a bill
through the Assembly providing for
the payment of the January and Ju,
ly coupons of the consolidated debt
of the State. Thcsenatois supposed
to be of the same way Of thinking

Everybody knows that if Govern

Everybody knows that if Govern
or Tilden were to-day occupying the
Executive chair there would be
abundant indications of a positive
publicpolicy. The present Admins
tration stands in an apologize atti-
tude; it holds its hat in its hand, as
if waiting to be recognized at the
door; it invites notice, and appears
to hope it will be wholly overlooked.
The Republican party could not have
selected surer method of signalling
its end than by pushing candidate
into the Presidential Office, where
his opponent belonged, who finds
that there is nothing left to do but
pursue the proclaimed Democratic
policy. 1t proves not only that
events are greater than parties, but
that the Democratic party alone
comprehends the real logic of them.
This Unsurpassed Republican re-
volt is only the outbreak of anger at
the events themselves and the neces-
sity they impose.
