The nomination of Genl. Butler by
Democratic meeting -claiming to
be State Convention at Worcester
last week was not unexpected. The
people of the whole country have ex-
pected such action since the Demo
Gratis Of Maine SO generally voted for
the only candidates in the field who
could hope to defeat Radical nomi
nees. The Democratic party ought
to be convinced by this time that the
chief desire of the people is to get rid
of the Radical party, and the Radi-
calls may as well understand that
fact, too. IF Gcn'l Butler can do in
that matter what better men cannot
do, then the people will vote for
Gen'l Butler. There are numerous
instances, even in sacred history,
where the wick ed We're used to con-
found the wicked. Whether the reg
ular Democratic Convention nomin-
ates candidate or not it is now set
tied beyond question, that the bulk
OF the Democratic votes will g, for
Butler. 1t Is now more than likely
that he will be elected. Indeed, the
overturning in Maine gave the Re-
publican party ii shock! il will not
soon recover rom, and it will be
most severely felt in Massachusetts.

HON. A. BROOKS FLEMING.

Upon the death of Judge Lewis,
Gov. Mathews appointed A. Brooks
Fleming, of Fairmont, to fill the va
cancy in the Office of Judge of this
District until the next general cleo
ton. His first court was held in
Monongalia soon thereafter. Judge
Fleming had been on the bench but
a few days when it was discovered
by everybody that he was making~a
splendid judge. He decided So
promptly and imparlially. his head
was so clear and his working powers
SO great, that he was Immediately
pronounced by every one ''ths right
man in the right place" For the
first time in the history of the courts
here he rushed the business and that
too without any fuss, furry or osten-
tation, the people began to feel that
under Judge Fleming's administra-
tion of the Office we would no longer
have to complain of "the laws de-
lay" but receive speedy justice, and
everybody. without regard to Larty,
favored his election by the people at
the general election.
He has been nominated by the
Democratic party by reclamation
and will doubtless be elected, though
since his nomination there is can
didate in opposition.
Besides Judge Jennings superior
qualifications for judge, he is one of
us. From time immemorial his an
cestors have lived in Monongalia
county, and have always been re-
spectacle and respected. He is ina
tive and to the Manor" and manner,
born, and though we are not "hide-
bound" when man has the right
qualifications for Office, we prefer one
of our own boys.
So. then, people of Monongalia,
we shall expect all conscientious men
to vote for A. Brooks Fleming for
Judge, without regard to party and
for the highest and best reasons
known to the honest voter-his emf
nent fitness for The position.

Editors Ne,o DomiaiOn:H Hon. W.T.,
Wiley in his speech at the Court
Honse on Monday the 10TH, stated
that Greenbncks were dishonest mon
ey. This same honorable gentleman
in company with Ex-Governor Sc
venson made a speech above CasS-
vile some years since, then, he sta
ted that greenbacks was the best
money we ever had. Gen. Grant in
his inaugural address in 1869, said
that greenbacks was the best money
we ever possessed. and that there
was no more in circulation than was
needed even in the duIlest time of
the year. Which of Mr. Willey's
statements shall we believe: 1t comes
with very bad erase at this time to
tell the soldier that he was paid for
risking his life in defence of the IN
ion with dishonest money; that a
fraud had been practiced upon him,
and that he had been made party
to the circulation OF dishonest money;
it is IA shamful declaration.
When some honest man in Con-
gress proposed t. equalize the sol
derS bounty. IA Republican congress
voted against it; but the same men
voted to increase their own salaries
very largely, and to. double that Of
the President. The soldier will not
forget these facts and large MAORI
ty of them will vote the greenback
ticket this fall.
l asked Mr. Wiley "who made
the greenback;" he replied that 1.-The
Republican party made it to put
down Democratic rebellion" What
party did Mr.. Wiley belong to in
1860? Did not the gentlemau's party
carry the State of Virginia that year
Ivy large majority, and did not the
state secede by the vote of the gentle
mans party? Did not Mr.. Wiley
himself vote for the ordinance of Sc
ce,slon in 1860, and on his return
from Richmond caution the people
of Monongalia to "hold still?" Mr..
Wiley shows no little cheek in charg-
ing the war upon the Democratic
party, when he did more toward
bringing about The war than any
hundred thousand Democrats of the
North, by his vote for the ordinance
of secession and his evident want Of
Loyalty on his return from that con-
ventiOn.

The Republicans in this county
were never before in such stew as
they are now The candidates are
continually and industriously cleo
pioneering and talking hard money.
1t is astonishing with what speed the
Greenbackers have gained ground in
Monongalia since it became patent
that some move must be made to over
come the regulations of the Republi-
can party. If Republican rule is not
broken, the laboring men Of America
are reduced to the condition of serfs,
with poorer and poorer prospects as
time advances. The Republicans in
stead of decreasing have continually
increased the public debt and unless
they change their tactics will never
decrease it. Voters of Mcnongalia
Which ticket will you vote? The
Bondholder and Bankers ticket, or
the ticket that represents the interest
of the laboper and farmer? This is
for you to decide. Think the subject
over carefully before you cast your
ballot.

Col. Frank Burr has not the shad-
ow of chance for election to Congress
from this district. The most infuen-
tial and respectable Republican pa
pers in this district are unsparing in
their denunciation of him. The fol-
lowing is what the Morgan Mercury,
staunch Republican paper says of
him:
The recent nomination of Col.
Frank Burr, of Washington, for Con
gress in this district, has occasioned a
terrible rumpus in the Republican
ranks. Several of the leading Repub-
lican papers of the district have turn
ed their backs on him and declare
they will support Hon. b. f. Martin
in preference to Burr. The Republi-
cans in this county { Morgan) are rails
ing a terrific howl, and claim they
have been imposed upon in the gross
est manner. Morgan county was not
represented, but still she was solid for
Gen. Latham, and some unauthorized
party cast the vote of this county for
Burr, which consequently made him
the nominee, and our Republicans are
highly insulted by such a procedure.
The result will be that Mr.. Martin
will carry the district by about eight
thousand majority. So cheer up,
friend Martin, for you have the bright
est prospect of being reelected of any
candidate in the State. TO Congress
you must go, there is no such thing
as getting out oft.
