out l43 brave Democrats TO the fray at
Buckhannon, and they had their war
paint on. Now, alas they are returning
home toalped. It was q journey to spikes
Peak or bustT and behold, they are
scooped, cleaned out and tramped into
the mud and mire Of dependency.
do not propose, however, to jest on
this matter; nor to attempt a report Of
the proceedings, for am informed that
you had a reporter on the field; but to
point out few facts that may prove use
full. Two weeks ago, it was announced
that the Ninth District was Confederate,
and no quasi Union Democrat would
be nominated; that the Coniederates
had the power and that they pro.
posed to exercise it. That this an
nouncement was we'll founded 10 album
dainty proven by to.day's nomination.
Lewis, Woodford and Cooper, three
Woodworking and deserving (Union)
Democrats, who had done the party SER
vice when 1t needed friends. were cast
aside with contempt, and after a long
search an obscure Confederate lawyer
from the wilds Of Tucker county, was
discovered, aud II appearing that his GER
tificate from JEFF. Davis was Of correct
authority, he was nominated, as usual,
Hamid great enthusiasm"
The man who invented Ewing, or who
announced his invention TO the Conven-
ton, was Thomas Jefferson Farnsworth,
OF Unshur, man whose qualities a. q
cham pion trimmer, dodger and money
lender lat from 10 10 20 per cent?, have
enabled him on two occasions to humbug
the people into electing him TO the House
Of Delegates. 1t remains 10 be seen
whether the Republicans Of Upshur will
invest further in any such patents.
Here in Lewis, the nomination does
not ait well on the stomachs oil many Of
the Union Democrats. They are willing
TO accord majority Of the Offices TO the
hungry "erring BROTHER" but when all is
not only asked, but greedily demanded, 1t
seems to be carrying the joke too far. /
presume, however, that this is the policy
Of 'conoiIiation;" for so far as ability is
concerned, MIR. William Ewing is not the
superior Of any aspirant at Buckhannon,
nor is he the equal Of some. But 1t Is
all right. The Confeds are consistent in
one thing a. least-they will have all the
offices they can get--and out here they
get 'em. Nothing succeeds so we'll as
success. LEWIS.
