.JUDGE HOesE.

The Charleston Gazette recently made
quite severe attack upon Judge
JOHN BLAIR HoGE which we noticed ai
the time, and now the Martinsburg Itie
Dendeat comes back at the Gazette with
sal. and Pepper in its ink:
The Charleston Gazette of recent date
contains n wanton and unprovokcd attack
upon Judge John Blair Hoge OF this
place. The cause of the attack is pre-
dicated on the action of Judge Hoge in
the Capital csnvass-the animus has quite
different foundation. Judge Hoge, nj
the earnest solicitation of the citizens of
this county, made several speeches
during the Capital canvass in
which he presented the claims OF
MartiIsburg. In doing this he con-
fined himself entirely TO discussion OF
the real merits OF the contcsting points
and said nothing derogatory to the real
claims o. either Charleston or Clarks-
burg. His speeches were gentlemanly
and dignifed in the highest degree and
entirely fair. There was nothing in his
canvass for Martinsburg inconsistent
with his position as a judicial officer,
and as citizen of this county he
WAS actusted by the same interests
and impulses that characterized the
action of all the friends of Martinsburg.
We do not believe that the course Of the
Ga-etts in its uncalled-ior attack upon
Judge Hoge will be indorsed by any con-
siderable portion OF the people, OF
Charleston or Kanswha county. 1t will
be more likely TO react upon its origin
stor. We have only TO say that the peo-
pie of the Eastern Pan Handle heartily
endorse and approve the action OF
Judge Hoge and the other gentlemen
who took part in the canvass IN ia
vor of Martinsburg, and will resent
in proper manner, with all their united
force, any attack, come from whatever
source it may, made upon them because
of such action We advise the Gazette
to 20 little slow. 1t may find that in its
attempt to vent little personal spleen
u has done its people an irreparable in
Iury. We do not throw this out rs a
threat, but it Will be well to take heed in
time. The citizens OF Charleston would
do wei! to publicly dlsavow the course OF
the Gazette.

I y
manner secure the promise OF the tall
President OF the Association, Mr.. j. NJ M.
LOWS; or the blonde Secretary, DIR.
Kemp; or even the editor of the Enter
pr1se to accompany the navigator to the
clouds, it would undoubtedly insure an
immense turn out of people.
The great query with the people con-
cerning the President of the Association
would be, where they would find place
tall enough in the network Of The BAL
loon to accommodate him durln- the trip
to thesclouds; .and as regards Price, oil
the Enterprise, 1t would certainly re-
quire none of the novel methods OF IN
hation to secure its upward movement,
for he would be able, At few moments
notice, to supply an immense quantity
of the necessary material TO NIL the
sir vessel. Balloon men always inquire
concerning the gas, whether 1t be light
or heavy. In this case it might be 100
"heavy" 10 answer the purpose and cause
a failure in the ascension. AS regards
McCleland, the senior editor OF the
Enterprise, who, unfortunately, Is clasSed
rs "heavy weight" he would not likely
be chosen TO go on IN aerial voyage
unless the navigator wanted an unusual
amount of "bsllast."
1t is to be hoped that the Fair Asso-
ciation will be more fortunate in their
balloon feature than ut their last attempt
of this kind, some two years since, when
the great aerial gymnast, Pedanto, almost
made y failure in MS attempts TO make
the aerial trip, which, however, when
accomplished was splendid success.
Visitors are not III all desirous Of being
disappointed when an attraction Is
offered and it fails to come oil when ad-
vertlsed.
AS election time approaches candidates
make their appearance. GAINESVILLE will
be iull of them during the isir. Let All
who are interested come and give them n
shake of the hand. OKRA.
