HUNTERsvILLE, W. Va, March IS
We want to get our hand in at assisting iu
some of the blooms" which are in progress
for different parties in this State; and
LIST. We are for j. n. Camden for Cover
nor, and, so far as we learn. so is every good
Democrat in the county. All feel that Il ia
proper return for his gallant service in
behalf OF the party, and the prevailing dis
position is that his political fealty deserve,
the rewards of the party
I'd. We are "big boom" for the Hon, A.
N. Campbell, of Monroe, for Attorney EN-.
erai. The eminent legal ability of this gen.
tleman, and his arduous services in behalf
OF his party, make him another most fit Sc
lection Tor some of the honors His personal
popularity would make him a strong man on
tho ticket, and VIC feel sure his selection
would be entirely satisfactory to the Democ.
racy of the State.
In this, we are satisfied. We do not care
to name all the ticket, and will leave the
malnder to other portions of the State, stipu>
lating only that We shall have Simon pure
Democrats with big d.
We have no second choice for these posi.
tions, and will be for Camden and Campbell
first, last, aud all the tune.
In this connection, wo wish to say that
we most earnestly desire to see a real live
Congressman We have voted carly and
often for Congressional Representative, but
none have ever honored us with visit. And
1t is becoming matter of conjecture, VIII eth-
er our Representative is n visible presepee
or an image of fevered fancy. IF we cannot
get an Incumbent, may we not hope to pet
an aspirant? Lucas boom could be started
here with very little difficulty.
For u. S. Senator We feel mucb ;ncl;,,5
toward Gov. Matthews.

Another from Piedmont, writes:
''For Congress in this district, tho Hon
John Blair Hoge, of Berkeley, is Minerals
favorite, with Hon. d. b. Lucas. of Jeffer.
son, as second choice, either of whom would
make creditable representative, and one of
whom the people of tho State could be Justly
proud. Under Democratic rule the eastern
side of the mountains is entitled to the can.
dldate, rule to which we have every reason
to believe there will be made an execution
in this instance. IF, however, the western
side should get it, the Hon. T. A. Bradford
OF Barbour, has many warm friends here who
would be glad to aid his promotion"
