Correspondents Of the Register.
Your correspondent told you he
would give YOU the result OF his OBJ
seryations, politically, as to the condi-
ton of affairs in this district. | say pO-
htically. because I've neither the time
nor inclination 70 20 into other matters.
You must, therefore, in the beginning,
excuse the bluntneSs Of a soldier" for
what have to say, | will say as plainly
aud a. briefly as possible.
There is a large TumOr afoat through
this district that Mr.. kenna and
Hereford have formed combination,
Kenna 10 assist Mr. Hereford in "set-
ting up" the Legislature to secure his
return to the L. $. Senate, Mr.. Here
ford To assist Mr.. Kenna TO get the
Democratic nomination again for Con-
yress. Dir. Hereford claims, and with
truth. that when Mr.. Kenna was sick
and could not make his canvass IN the
last cam paign. that he made it for him,
and therefore Mr.. Kenna is bound 10
suppOrt him, that common gratitude
commands %.
Nc. Kenna is more full OF gratitude
than a country colts tail Is Of Wild
burs, but some people here are mean
enough tO say that Mr.. HeretOrd's Wig
orous canvass is what decreased Ken
mas and increased Walkers vote. 'Tis
said here also that Mr.. Elbert Fowler,
the present Prosecuting Attorney OF
Summers county, who is a clear thinker,
a fluent and ready talker, with few
superiOrs ON the stump, will be an in
dependent candidate Tor Congress. Mr..
Walker will again be the Greenback
labor candidate. Ii this should be the
case, the result is Of course plain that
Mr.. Nenna will be compelled 20 retire
tn the "ambrOsial shades and that
Fowler or Walker will be elected, with
the chances i'm favor Of Walker. Mr..
Fowler will make his canvass on the
cry ui retrpuchment and reform, Mr..
Maker as the labor candidate, and Mr..
krnua as the regular Democratic nOml-
nee. As It's conceded hr viii be re-nOml-
mated denouncing all Others As bOlters,
and disOrganiZers-JOhn keliy's pro-
grlmme-and that he, too, Is a
laloring man, and tell how he
dug coal al - cents a day and
slept in a dry goods box at night,
with no covering except the canopy OF
heaven. with no gentle hand to sOoth
his tired brow, with no lullaby to hush
him % sleep. Mr.. kenna I'm one OF hls
campaigns told how much coal he dug
and how many DAYS AMI nights he
worked. and bv actual calculation he
had dug more coal ont Of one bank
than there was in the whole State. This
statement of his had a tendency %
weaken the stock in that particular coal
hank. and the Coal Company tUlkcd
strongly ui applying % the Court Tor
u1ndamuS Ia compel Johnnie tO show
cause why hr shouldn't De stopped.
There is no denying the fact that the |
Democracy might be in a better cOndi- .
tIun. and 10 There Is not some work done T.
and a good AMI perfect organization F.
effected. the Democracy must suitcr the .

Hereford and Mathews are thr most .

One thing il very certain, aul that h,
