/ have been somewhat interested in
reading the reports Of political sentiment
OF the various counties OF the State as
contained in the REoIsrER. Every Demo-
crat who looks forward to the triumph
OF the principles which he endorses no
doubt has desire to ascertain how the
situation is regarded by Democrats Of
Writ County. Writ County has her IA
vorites which she would like to see hon
ofed with position on the State ticket,
but whether she is gratified in this re-
spect or not, there is set determination
to stand by the nominees of the conyen-
ton whoever they be. Writ County is
essentially Democratic, and will do her
duty msnfully and nobly in the coming
Campaign TO perpetuate in power the
party which iavors constitutional gov
eminent and approves fraud in oil it's
forms. On National and State issues
there will be but one determination on
the part OF Democrats and that will be
to meet with q solid front, the public
which in its pslmiest days in Writ
County administered such harsh treat-
ment To Democrats that they can not
easily forget their wrongs.
Writ County will send a solid Wilson
delegation TO the Congressional Conven-
ton in your city Notwithstanding the
assertions OF SIS" in your last issue.
There was no effort made in the Con-
yention OF May Sth, to instruct for him,
his friends thought IL unnecessary
as the people almost unani-
mously endorse his course
in Congress and desire TO see him re-
turned. Delegates who would support
any other man would not reflect the
sentiments OF their constituents. There
is but littleA known and less said about
Col Ben'sopponentsi in thiscounty. Reso-
iutions endorsing his course in Congress
was unanimously passed and il is safe to
say that there was not one member Of
the Convention who was not for Wilson.
The people OF this county and all along
this river can not forget his services in
procuring appropriations for the inn
prUvement OF the Little kanawha
river. Let him be renom-
mated aud there will be such
an endorsement by the lumber men of
this valley that il will make the air res
Onant with victory. IL is true that the
Little Kanawha valley is not OF much
consequence and does not deserve
II. IN Sknf
vass, but il Is fact worthy OF note that
every county from the head 10 the
mouth of the river is Democratic.
Writ county, second in the list from the
mouth OF the river, always in the line
will maintain her standing in the com
ing campaign. While she may not be
pretentious enough to demand recogni-
ton on the State ticket, she will come To
Martinsburg with full delegation and
will vote all the time for one oil her
former citizens, ID. II. Leonard for At
torney General. Mr.. Leonard is an AT.
tOrney Of large experience, OF known
integrity and acknowledged ability.
There is not man in the State that
would give the ticket more strength
and standing than he, and who could
ulSCndrke inc uutlco W thlo hiSh anu
responsible position more gracefully or
efficiently. lie is we'll and iayorably
known not alone in this section, but all
over the State. lie has held many
places Of honor and trust, and in none
has he disappointed his constituents.
lie espoused the cause OF Democracy
years ago when it seemed that the party
In this State was hopelessly in the
minority and has continued steadiast IN
the faith ever since. Having large in
terests in common with the people ot
Writ county, We would like to see him
nominated and will give him hearty
support il he is. -,
The Constitutional Amendment will
carry i'm this county and all along the
valley as far rs ! can hear, by three
tilths majority. WRIT.
