The Election To-day for MuuicI.
pal Judge

Inasmucl as the election to-day IL Of a
judicial character we do not feel called
upon to discuss it in partisan light.
Citizens, without respect to party, have
united in calls upon the two candidates
tocome before the public and their replies
to these calls have been duly Published
to the community. Voters are not dis.
posed, so far as we can see, to make the
selection Of Municipal Judge a matter
OF politics, but rather Of personal and
professional fitness. This is undoubtedly
the correct view 10 take. Let us 80 to
the polls to-day, not as Republicans or
Democrats, but as fellow citizens bent
simply upon securing good officer to
gil the important position Of Municipal
Judge for the next four years.

Becoming Warmer and Warmer
for Charleston.

The RegiIter Is becoming as rampant as
veritable Charleston paper itself in
advocacy Of that point as the proper
location for the Capital. oac can not
help wondering how that paper could
have possibly said so many harsh things
about Charleston last winter, seeing that
its advantages and excsllencies are now
SO strikinsly apparent to the editor. Only
a lew months ago the RegiAsr spoke Of
Charleston as a greedy and selfish in-
triguer, who was ready to sacrifices the
interests Of the balance oi the State
in order to succeed in securing
the Capital. It was then Of the
opinion that the place could not be de.
veloped by any further experiments as a
Capital location. Now it draws a picture
that ia almost gorgeous as to what great
things are in store for Charleston when
she becomes once more the Capital OF the
State. The editors prophetic soul Is
fairly enthused with inspiration as he dis
courses upon the resplendent era that is
about to illuminate tho whole future oil
Charleston. lie must wonder to himself
how miraculous it was last winter that be
could not have fOressen at least diuly
some Of this coming grandeur. lie now
tells us that
"Charleston has always set more value
upon this acquisition than any other sec.
tion Of the State. It's possession once in.
fused new life into her business Interests;
it brought her latent wealth and re.
sources into notice; it united her more
prominently with the State than any.
thing else could have done, and there is
perhaps no other part Of the population
Of West Virginia that would receive the
honor more graciously or put It 10 better
account. Sac will be hospitable 10 the rep.
reqentatiyts Of the different sections when
they visit her city; she will dress up her
streets for them; enlarge her hotel accom-.
modations, and do the agreeable after the
most approved fashion when invested
with the honor Of being the seat Of the
State Government.
