THE Radicals held district con-
ventions in each district in this
county, last Saturday, save one
KiLgwood. The time for holding
the couventiIn IN for this district has
been postponed until the 3lst., we
believe. The generally accepted rea-
son for this is, that the respective
ringmasters Of Kingwood should have
an opportunity to attend the different
convent ions in the county in order
to "set up the pins" according to
their notion, for the county conven-
tion,-iu other words, tell the coun-
try people how to run a district
convention and for whom they
should vote in the county conven-
tion. Had the convent ion Tor this
district been held the same day the
whip-crackers would have been
compelled to 10 ok out for breakers at
home and thus run the risk OF hav-
ing themselves plssed in a sorry
predicsment at Cranberry on the
9th Of August.

should hereafter vote the straight republican

that he was strong war-democrat, and
would rot vote for man whose anti-war
record was as bad as Samuel J. Anderson's.
There are many more war-democrats in

that an easier man to beat. could not have
