How the Republicans Expect to
Elect q Member of Congress
and u u. y. Senator.

ilssodtch 4 Radical writing from this
State, in thefoliowing language tells
how the Republicans expect to elect
a Congressman in the Third District
and gain a United States Senator in
this State: 'sAs | said before the
Democratic party has been split; one
wing is ledby Henrys. Walker, and
is known as the Walker or Green
back party. Attic last election Mr..
Walker was a candidate for Congress
and came within 1000 votes Of being
elected. is now well authentica.
ted that he will affiliate with the
Republicans of the Third District,
in order to elect Judge James H.
Brown, Of Kanawha, to Congress,
and in turn the Judge has promised
his strength, as Republican, to
Mr.. Walker in the next Legislature,
in 1881, and which will elect Uni.
ted States Senator. AS my informa-
ton is from reliable source do
not hesitate in making the assertion
that Mr.. Walker will make one more
great struggle to get into the Senate
Of the United States. He will have
the combined Grecnback vote and
with the Republican vote of the next
Legislature, he will be elected"
What more evidence do Democrats
want, to be convinced that this
Grccnback party is playing into the
hands Of the Republican party2

In reading our State exchanges, VIC
are led to believe that u strong oppo.
sition is manifesting itself all over
the State against the adoption of the
proposed Constitutional Amendment,
in relation to our judiciary, and
which isto be voted upon:in 1880
Itisprcdicted by some Of the State pa
pers, that it will be rejected by from
$1,000 to 10000 majority. Then, in
view Of this state Of affairs, is it not
better for our people to vote for the
adoption of our new County Court
bill, which is 10 take the place q
our present County Court2

So far as we are able to learn, the
fusion Of Greenbackers, Working
men and Republicans, does not work
tremendously. The prospect is that
by the time the election rolls around
the "fusionp will be busted. The
great Grecnback Manager in this
eountyis sorely distressed over the
turn things have taken in this
county, and is. bore down with grief
at the popularity Of the Democratic
and Conservative ticket He smells
Grcenback defeat in The air.
The Grecnback party Of Ohio has
two wings, but it doesn't get along
any better on that account. Tho
Democratic wing won't work in har.
mony with the republican wing, and
the probability rs that they will be
able to keep each other 50 busy that
nobody else will hear from them.
The Democratic State convention
of Pennsylvania meets on the 18th
ofJuly, and the Republicans convene
eu.the 23d Of that month. The Ohio
nominations have evidently taught
the radicals to swat and sce."
The President thinks the action
of Congress in sending up. bills for
him to veto "pre-suppose him to be
an imbecile on o knsve." Now Mr..
Hayes will not pretend to deny that
he is both, will he?-ET.
1t is now stated that an Ohio man
telegraphcd to President Hayes to
keep the position Of Prince Imperial
open to him.
The Democracy Of Maine met last
Tuesday, protested against the bayo.
net policy of Hayes and nominated
Governor Garcelon for reelection.
Zach Chandler WAS so thoroughly
absorbed in twisting tho tail Of the
Democratic party at the late session
that he neglected entirely TO stir up
the British Lion.
The National Ticu, published in
Washington ostensibly as the organ
Of the Greenhack party, is a Repub-
lican paper in disguise, working in
the intrests Of that party by seeking
to divide tho Democratic party, and
