veloped to formulate any idea about 1t,
The matter possibly may meet with favor,
considering the hopelessness Of Repub'
lican success. There arc a large mum.
Der OF men who have left the
Democratic party and pulled down
must 20 into some party. Perhaps,
the Republican party, and 1t may be the
Greenback party. At any event there is
a demand for q new party TO overthrow
the Bourbon Democracy. Their mode Of
succession to the various State officers Is
disgusting 10 the younger portion Of the
party, and tho administration Of the
Internal affairs ofthe State has been ex.
ecrable. Now II the various factions
could be harmoniEed with the Republi.
cans, and a platform adopted which only
related to reform in State affairs, and let
National affairs alone, there Is no
doubt but what that party could carry the
State.
Who would DO the nominee OF this
party for Governor

toned, and | don't suppose a better man
could be found to harmonic all the
factions and suit so many people. Mr..
Sturgiss and myself have also been men
Office. AS for Mr.. Sturgiss, his friends are
urging his name, but as for his personal
aspirations, l am not aware oil them.
Who will be the GreenbaCk nominee,
in case thai party goesotr alone by ttseIf'
In o corner?
Very likely George MsiIett. Senator
Butler Is going around, see, organizing
Oranges, and trying to catch tho Granger
vote, but ! suppose he has in his minds
eve the Democratic nomination, and
would not accept tho bead place Of the
Greenback ticket II 1t was rendered him.
Uncle Joe Gist may possibly DO called out.
For the Democratic nomination, George
JeIers, Of Wheeling, is working with the
leaders OF the purity, but what he is doing
with the rank and file l do not know.

the pulse OF the people on his chances.
Hon. ]. NJ, as he was closing the inter.
Wow, remarked that he was a stalwart Re.
publican 60 far as the issues between the
North and South were concerned, but on
the financial question he was not quite so
stalwart, as he was in favor Of o bi. metallic
standard. As the situation between the
North and South now stands it will DO i'm.
possible 10 keep the country at peace II
matters continue the way they are for ton
years. The public bulldozing and secret
assassination Of independent voters in that
section OF the country Is booming the
Fsouth to inevitable ruin II continued.
GEO. c. sTURdIss.
We also happened In the Office Of Mr..
Geo. @. Sturgiss, who was just reading OF
the good news from Maine. We at once
pitched into the subject Of affairs in this
State, and asked his opinion Of matters at
home.
He considered the Republican party in
Monongalia county all o. K, and was san.
guine OF her giving her usual Republican
majority at the next election.
What do you hear Of this proposed COZ.
lition between the G%reenbaCkers and Re.
publiCans?
Well, l have heard some talk on the
subject. The bargain proposed is that the
GreenbaCkers will unite with the Repub.
liCan party on a liberal platform propos.
ing reforms in the administration OF tho
affairs OF the State, and other matters
which will attract to the support OF the
ticket the laboring classes. They propose
to give the Republicans the head Of the
ticket, and ask for q fair representa-.
ton for the other places. The coalition
has been talked Of, but T do not think the
time has yet come to entertain it seriously,
although it will do no harm 10 talk about
it. Henry S. Walker is willing to throw
his influence into such q movement, aud
would, no doubt, carry with him
the voters who are supporting him
now. Against this coalition il
might be urged that Walker would
get enough Of his Greenback friends in
the Legislature to send him 10 the Senate
as successor to Frank Hereford. In thai
case the prospect might not be so pleasing
to the stalwart Republicans and the polit-
ical enemies OF Walker. DR.. Logan has
been spoken OF as the nominee of this
coalition, and l know OF no man OF finer
executive ability, clearer head or better
heart, who can be named for the place at
the head Of any ticket. The coalition will
also ask for places on the ticket OF q lib.
eral Greenbacker, al ex-Coniederate, and
a liberal Republican. II this ticket was
successful l should think there would be
some hope Of carrying the electoral vote
OF the State for the Republican nominee
for President in 80. OF course, there is
much surmise about the whole matter as
yet. We will have 10 wait for develop.

his puff on a brewery about to be started
up here. Henry Morgan looks very much
like General Burnside and several other
heroes and prominent men, and withal is
q handsome man.
