At this writingwe have heard the news,
everything in except the returns from the
s~trongholds OF Webster and Mcdowell, and
we are not discouraged. Tho result is
one that no true Republican eau mourn
over as one OF the irretrieyable losses that
sometimes ovcrtakc political parties.

The deluded people who n after tho
Grccnback idea have seen the folly Of put
ting their trustin "paper, PRINCES or Demo
crats," and it will be long ere they are led
off into u similar folly. Col. Bob lnger-
soil, when interviewed on the subject, cx-
pressed a belief that the movement would
be much more injurious to the Republican
than to the Democratic. organization; and
the result, In this district, ut least, fully
proves that Bob's head was level on the
subject.
II. .laaf"t.. i. HERE IN WESTON as -a-HH -
We arc not a bit scared. Our Republicans
were determined to redeem the town, and
they did it. lii 1876 Wilson's majority
over Scott in Weston was 3d. in ISIS Hub
bard's majority over Wilson was 81, q lie
publican gain of137. So you see that we
have q resting place here where u Repub-
lican is safe, even in the interior. Lewis
county, upon q thorough canvass between
the two parties, is Republican. 1t doesn't
take any figures TO prove this Look ut
our officers. For the benefit Of your read.
ers | give you the names and policies oil
all:
George Jackson Arnold, independent,
elcctedto the House of Delegates over the
the Democratic nominee by I26 majority,
Judge jasper Peterson, Republican,
President OF the County Court.
Andrew Edmiston, Democrat, (who
fishes for Republican Yotes), Prosecuting
James &. vandevoort, Sheriff, Rcpubli,
can.
W. G. Harrison, Clerk elect OF the Cir
cult Court; Hubbard Democrat.
Jesse Wooften, reelected Clerk of the
County Court, Republican.
John Kec, Assessor First District, Dem
ocrat.
George Fisher, Assessor Second District,
Republican.
Justiceso OF the Peacc--Peter Dargan R,);

Wood (R.l; w. II. Hall (R); W. Y. Chi
dester (D.j; W. G. McWhOrtcr (R:); S. d.
Smith (D.j; W. X. Wilson (R.)-eight Re
publicans and two Democrats. Surely
this is evidence far too satisfying for Dem
ocratic aspirants for public honors. The
emphatic rebuke administered to the ma
chine Democrats in tho late election is
crushing. Democratic conventions in
Lewis county are now a reEc=of barbar-
ism: md he will be u bold fellow, indeed,
who will venture even to advocate such a
thing in the future. All we want here TO
consolidate US and give us the county is
coon REPUBLICAN, NEWSPAPER,
and we hope soon to have n established
here. Orr friend, Judge Edwards, editor
o ftlle Democrat, needs Shaking up. q lit
tie, and we have the material in the Re-
publican party here to make him fully
appreciate the versatility Of talent neces-
sary to run q Democratic newspaper sue
ccssfully in these troublous times. Before
tllc winter is over we expect the Weston
"True Flagp will send you greeting.

mcmbered that Hyer had but one oppC9-
ncnt-Mr. Given, the Democratic nomi.
nec-the result is one that is not only
gratifying to us MS Republicans, but re
fleets a credit We had no thought OF be-
slowing upon Braxton. Surely there is
hope for Wetzcl yet.
