WASHINGTON LETTER,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q, ls7

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. q, 1878.
EDITOR CHRONICLE-You have
doubtless heard good deal of growl-
ing about Washington clerks and cor
respondents mixing ia with the poll
tics of the district. Perhaps you may
have emitted few growls of that kind
yourself. But am not Washington
clerk, and l claim the privilege as a
voter of the 10th District to say my say,
while do not gainsay the inalienable
right of an editor to fill his waste
basket with my letters if he chooses.
Since the positive and peremptory
deelination of Mr.. Danford to again be
a candidate for Congress, 1 haye talked
with many residents of the district
about the situation. The merits of the
different candidates have been freely
discussed, and all feel certain of one
thing, viz: that good man will be
selected, for there is not bad one in
the lot. The question of locality will
be the hinge upon which the nomina-
ton will turn. The Republican nom
ination has been claimed by and al
lowed to the northeastern part of the
district for the last two decades. We
had sixteen years of Bingham and six
years of Danford. II either of these
men were to be before the Convention
the,matter of locality would be of little
importance, because, by reason of their
experience, they would be the most
useful me:nbers. But the candidate
is to be chosen from new men, one OF
whom is about as good as another; and
it certainly does look to fair mind as
if the southwestern part of the district,
which has unfiinchingly supported the
choice of Belmont and Harrison for SO
many years, should now be allowed tC
name the candidates. 1t is reasonably
certain that Noble and Guernsey will
present but one candidate, and will in
sist on his nomination. Who it will
be it is mpossible to say, but the peo-
pie of Belmont county may rest assu-
red that it will be good man as there
is in the district. believe, Mr.. Edi
tor, that love of fair play is inherent
in Americans-andI feel assured the
people of the two last named counties
having no candidates of their own
will feel bound to recognize the frs
claim to recognition of Guernsey anC
Noble counties, and will assist them t
obtain the nomination of any mar
who is able, honest and available.

John West noticed two East siders on a tear
early in the evening, and kept his eye on them.
They started from the West side and went on
the suspension bridge, where they proceeded TO
make the night hideous by their shout
and curses. The officer followed
them on to the island. Here they
proposed to do as they chose. West could not

that they should do nothing Of the sort, and
desired the policeman to do his
duty. John is not the man to
be bluffed and he tackled the larger man. His

seem as though West had got more than be
