Political Advice.

Under the above caption the New
York Sun administers some good ad.
vice as well as a gentle rebuke to
the Democratic party, which it might
be we'll to heed. Here it is:
"If the Democrats hope to cope
with the Republicans, they must toe
the mark every time. They should
understand that they are contending
with the best disciplined party this
country ever saw. Whatever the
party may have lost by an abandon
mcnt of principle is fully made up,
in popular sense, by audacity and
unscrupulousness. 1fthe Democrats
expect to conquer such foe, they
must not yield, on any occasion or
under any pretext, a single foot Of
debatable ground. The daring frauds
of the last Presidential election, aud
the temporary success which follow
ed in their train, ought to teach
them this lesson; as it should, ina mar.
rover field of operations, the repeat,
ed swindles Of the Republicans Of
New York concerning an apportion-
ment Of the State.
In Congress and other legislative
bodies all Democrats should vote ev.
cry time they come in conflict with
their opponents, and be careful to
vote right. When they prove BY
such acts that they are thoroughly
disciplined, they will win the re.
spect of many Republicans and make
the rest of the party afraid to en-.
counter them"

TO she Voters OF the County.

1t is known that am a candidate
for the Office of County Clerk, before
the Democratic Convention. The
report has gone out over the county
that / am not really u candidate, but
that l am running in the interest
of some one else. / wish to say
that / am candidate, and that am
running in the interest of no one but
myself. 1 have formed no combina-
tions with any one, and belong to

l make no claim to the nomina'

to say whether my past services and
labor for the party entities me to
any consideration at their hands.
This article is written that l may
be set right before the public, with
the hope that the falsehoods, above
alluded to, may rebound to the dis
comfture of the parties who have
been so industriously circulating
them.
In this canvass l have pursued
an honorable course toward I'LL my

never having uttered aught against
them, but on the contrary have al
ways spoken in the highest terms Of
praise of all of them. l have asked
no man to support me; have made no
effort to Elk" the vote of any Dis
trict; have asked no map to work for
me, but have faithfully carried out
the promise made between the 9TH
or candidates and myself not to cleo
tionecr for the position, leaving the
people free to act as they deemed best
in thepremises; but l am sorry to say
this has not been strictly kept on

dates. l regret, that am neces-
STATED to publish this card, but

Gratis in the county will not allow

orable consideration at their hands,

mated to use all honorable means to
secure my election; and if not nom
mated, to give my undivided sup
port to the Conventions nominee,

Conventions.

The time approaches when con-
ventions viii be held to nominate
candidates for the neat Legislature.
We have noticed that a few cores
pondents in the interest Of their
friends have urged that no conyen-
tions be held in certain counties and
Senatorial districts, that the gentle
men whom they champion shall be
elected by common consent as it were.
No one should be elected who is not
preferred by a majority of his party,
and if preferred, that choice will GER
tainly find expression in fair con-
vention. Abandon conventions and
you enter every aspirant in SCRUB
race" and it is probable that some
Democratic counties will be repre-
scented by Republicans.
Ifthe people will take an interest
and participate in the election of
delegates TO the Conventions, then
the choice of the Conventions will
be necessarily the choice of the par
ty. If one does not feel sufficient
interest in the political affairs of his
county to attend the primary meet
ings, he has no right to complain if
his favorite does not receive thenom.
nation, and he has no right to be dis
satisfied, whatever may be done, pro-
yided the Convention is in all re-
spects fair. We have no desire toin:
terfere in any county matters, but
we do desire that the organization Of
the Democratic party shall be pre-
served, and to that end that its time
honored usage shall be Observed

Political Hypocrisy.

There have been several notable
instances in West Virginia of radical
papers since the State passed into
the hands of the Democrats, changing
from malevolent and vengefal sheets
to that of so called Independent papers
When they could no longer, with
safety, denonnce and villify and NAL
treat and threaten with the hang
mans rope, the people among whom
they squatted, like so many 6uzsards
they then hypocritically turned in
dependents conveniently lowering
the bloody shirt, The worst of it is
that many good intentioncd dem
ocrats are deceived by their profess
sions of repentance and yield support
to their base hypocrisy. Thesedem
ocratic innocents would be wOfully
walked up however if the State should
ever unfortunately pass again under
the radical yoke. If this calamity
should ever happen, which heaven
forerend, those Of the party who are
now blinded will have the bitter con.

BOYS AND THEIR MoTHERs.-Some
one has written beautifully to the
boys in the following manner
Here are a few sentences:-"Of all
the love affairs in the world, none
can surpass tho true love of the big
boy for lAsmother. 1t is pure love
and noble,shonorable,in the highest
degree to both, lido not mean mere
ly a dutiful affection. mean a love
that makes a boy gallant and cour-
teous to his mother, saying to every
body plainly that he is fairly in love
with her. Next to the love of u hus-
band, nothing SO crowns a woman's
life with honor as this second love,
this devotion Of her son to her. And
| never knew n boy to turn out bud
who began by falling in love with
his mother.
Any man may fall in love with a
fresh.faced girl, and man who is
gallant with the girl may cruelty ne
elect the worn and weary wife. But
the boy who is n lover of his mother
in her middle age, is n true knight
will love his wife as much in the
sqro.lcafcd autumn as he did in the
daisied spring.time."

To avoid two elections in this
State in the Fall, Senator Hereford
has introduced a bill changing the
time for the election of members Of
Congress of West Virginia from No,
vcmbcr to October-the time for the
general election. The objection to
the change is that it affords an op.
portunity for the colonization of vo.
ters-the transfer of voters from
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland
into West Virginia and from West
Virginia into those States; and that
it affords an opportunity for trading
votes.
