HON. j. B. JACKSON.

tits with pleasure that greet the Hon.
J.sB. jackson, of Clarksburg, as decidedly
prospective candidate for the Gubernatorial
chariot West Virginia. Mr. jackson is one
of the reliable scions of Virginia Democracy,
of healthful bodily yigor, between fifty and
sixty years of age, possessing all that bodily
strength necessary to functional duty as
Governor, whether in the executive chamber
or in the field as commander of the sovereign
States militia. But it is prominently his
mental ability which is most desired In the
personnel of Governor that is most es.
teemed. He has backbone under his bris-
ties, and when the latter elevates the former
sustains> him. In a word, -he is much like
his late distinguished relative of the same
name, whose memory will live forever. The
Jackson family of Virginia have turped out
no pigmes. The carved out State of West
Virginia may not be proud of its beginning.
it is true, but it may be proud of its growth
and freedom from debt and Democratic re-
gency; and, as it is. commcnds its wealth
and solvency to the hearty approval of all
intelligent observers; hence, its Executive
should be like it-a man of freshness, and
on whose brow the words Nontant .Semper
LiJeri shall be significant. West Virginia
will never sanction the fossiliziug of any
man in office, hence the peculiar need at
this time OF selecting for Governor j. b.
Jackson, who is sought by the people for the
office, aud not man seeking the Office initia>
lively, bu. in obedience to the call of the
sovereigns of the State.
1t is therefore with hearty good will that
his services are desired at this time for Gov
ernor. There may be crisis in our Repub-
lican institutions before the end of the next
four years, which will require self-reliant
Jackson at the head of our sovereign State.
True, the fear is less than was feared short
time ago; still, to be fore-armed is to be fore,
warned Reversing the adage, West Vir>
ginia wants no more Governors who will call
in the United States to do for her what she
is quite able to do for herself West Vir.
ginia's brave militia will always be both able
and willing to keep the peace within her
borders.
Many of our citizens think and feel as if
the Governorship were going in a certain
direction by default. This is a mistake. AS
long as there is a choice the people of JetIer.
son will choose. So here goes for j. B
Jackson. of Clarksburg, for Governor of
West Virginia, whose term of office shall
continue during tho presidency of the nomi>
nee of the Cincinnati convention

THE CHICAGO NOMINEES.

The National Republican Convention at
Chicago, on Tuesday last, on the thirty sixth
ballot, nominated Gen. james q. Garfield, of
Ohio, for President, the ballot Standing
Garfield 500, Grant 800, Blaine AZ, Wash
burn 5, Sherman 8.
Gen. Chester A. Arthur, of New York,
was unanimously nominated for Vice Pres
ident.
The ticket, on the whole, we are dis
posed to regard favorably. Should so i'm
probable thing as its election occur, we pre-
fer Garfield to either Grant or Blaine, and
in its selection the third>term principle, we
trust, has been given its quietus forever
At the same time its weakness is readily ap>
parent-GarGeld tainted with the Credit
Mobilier fraud, the salary grab, the De
Golyer contract, etc., and Arthur deposed by
the Republican administration as unfit to con-
tiuue in Office as collector of the port of New
York-so that with the formation of strong
ticket at Cincinnati, headed by such man
as Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, the
way to victory is assured

A WASHINGTON SLATE.

An article was published in the Fayctfe
Enterprise of the 1st instant of which the
following is the opening sentence:
''On the 9th and 2Sth of April last,
NJ essrs. Davis, Wilson, Faulkner, Jno Blair
Hoge and others met in Washington, as per
agreement, and held secret caucus, and
there decided that Mr. Camden should not be
a candidate for Governor, but should BIO
candidate for the U. S. Senate, that Mr..
Faulkner should receive the nomination for
Governor, j udge John Blair should be nomi.
mated for Congress in tho Second district
Ben Wilson to be renominated in tho First
district, and Mr.. Davis was to succeed him.
self (and not resign he intimated he
would) was also to be sent as a delegate to
Cincinnati"
This report, also pub lished in substance in
one or two other papers in the western part
of the State, has called forth an open letter
from the Hon. Chas j. Faulkner to the 81 on
Wayne Ferguson, in which Mr. Faulkner
unqualifedly denies any completely in such
an arrangement. or even any personal knowl-
edge thereof. He says that est is an arrant
aud reckless falsehood, without the slightest
foundation, in fact, to rest upon ;" that ho
SSSA y,
1879, except for one instant, and that in
the presence of Mr.. Hereford ;" nor has he
"seen Mr.. Davis, so far as" he scan recollect.
for certainly more than year" The Free
Press also denies the report in behalf of
Judge Hose, deeming it ''but simple justice
to him to say that upon its being brought to
his attention he most Indignantly repudiated
any knowledge of such a conference on his
part, or any beliefthat it ever took place On
the contrary" says the Free Press, Judge
Hoge authorizes US to say that he has met
none of the parties named in Washington for
long time has, indeed been in that city
but twice in the past year, and then for q
very few hours, and has had no communities
ton with any of them touching political
questions, generally, or candidates. in West
Virginia, particularly"
We hope, for the sake of all the gentl
men concerned, that this damaging report is
equally untrue in regard to all of them.

THE POST ON GARFIELp.

The Washington Post has the followingto
say of the nominee of the Chicago Conven-
ton:
The Republican party has been in angry
contention for nearly two weeks, and the re>
suit is. Garfield Garfield, the salary grab
bier. Garfield, the proven beneficiary of the
credit Mobilier swiDdle. Garfield, who sold
himself to the De Golyer paving swindle for
the pitiful sum OF five Thousand dollars
Garfield, the official murderer of poor Mrs
Surratt. Garfield, the assassin of Fitz John
Porter. Garfield, the pulp protectionist.-
Garfield man with the voice of lion,
and the heart of sbeep irreso.utc in pur-
pose and with a record stained in every page
How can he be held to be purer than Blaine,
when Republican investigating committee
exculpated Mr.. Blaine from all participation
10 the Credit Mobilier swindle, and yet fas-
tened it squarely upon Garfield. How can
he be sustained above Blaine, when Blaine
refused to take dollar of the salary grab
