Hon. w. IL. Gum.

From conversations had with ma.
ny people, from different sections Of
the county, we are convinced that it
is the desire Of majority Of the PEG.
pie of this county, that Capt. Vim,
h. Gum be returned to the Legisla,
ture again this fall. We have not
spoken to the gentleman upon the
subject, but presume he will not de,
cline to serve his people again in
the Legislature, when they so earn.
estly desire his services. We are al,
most certain he will be rendered the
unanimous nomination for this posi-.
ton by the Democratic County Con,
ventipn, when it assemblies, and il
he accepts, will be triumphantly
elected. The people remember his
valuable services in the last Legisla.
ture, and to him they are indebted
for the passage of many good laws,
and the defeat of many bad laws
They know him to be a conscientious
man, an able lawyer, Q good speak
er, as well as farmer, and they are
willing to trust their interests in
his hands.

For Congress.

In several Of the papers Of the
State we see that Mr.. Edmund Sehon
isspoken Of as a candidate. for. Con:
gress, from the Third District. He
is a citizen Of our county, formerly
practiced law and is now engaged in
farming. In 1868 he was elected
prosecuting attorney for Greenbrier
and Mercer counties. He ran for
presidential elector on the Greeley
ticket, and served as a member of
the Legislature of 1866. lie is
eminently capable Of filling the po-
sition; will no doubt be solidly sup
ported by Mason county in the Con-
vention, and We have every reason
to hope by the surrounding counties
also. Before Mr.. Kenna was nomin-
ated the first time, he voluntarily de-
clared that il he was nominated
twice, he would not ask third term.
We presume he will faithfully abide
by this position. The nomination
seems to be awarded to this end Of
the District, and the indications are
that Mr.. Sehon will be the nominee.

A dispatch from New York says it
is an open secret there now that the
New York Democratic State ticket,
excepting the Governor and State
Engineer, were counted out at the
election last fall. The vote of sey-
mour for State Engineer was too
large to handle, SO he was kept in by
half his majority. Clarkson N. Pot.
ter and the other Democrats who
were counted out, had a majority of
over ten thousand. The votes of the
people are nothing, when weighed
in the balance as against Republi-
can necessities. The number of Re
publican States is so small that it
must be increased by stealing a few
Democratic States.-Er.

He Whines.

NV " AANNFs
GibbonsiD his last paper, whines
because he was not asked to publish
the call for the ex.soldiers meeting,
published in the Register Of last week.
The reason is easily explained, the
ex-soIdiers of tbe county knew that
both Mr.. Gibbons and the Monitor
are controlled by men who are
known to be open and ayowed enc
mics to paying the soldiers of the
late war upon gold basis, and hence
are opposed to the "Weayer Bill''
now pending in Congress. This is
the reason why he was not requested
to publish the call; still if he had
been an enterprising editor and
had been friendly to the Weaver
Bill" he would have published the
notice for the information of his
soldier readers. We deny his base
assertion, that we gave the notice to
make political capital out of the
meeting, But we might add that il
the "Weayer Bill" passes Congress it
will not be by the aid Of Republican
votes. We favor the Bill because ii
is just, and not from a political stand.
