The State Convention OF the Demo-

the largest political gathering ever Wit
messed within the borders of West Vir-
ginia. There seems TO BE- general feel
ing among the people that the year 1880
is to witness the final overthrow OF Rad
icslism throughout the country, and
they vie with each other in their mani
iestations OF Joy. Not for many years
have the mass meetings and county
conventions OF the Democracy been so
lsryely attend, and the grand
iaa!< at Martinsburg tomorrow, where
the next State officers will be
named, seems TO be destined TO
surpass them all in point OF numbers
and enthusiasm. The signs Of the times
are auspicious, and the average Demo-
crat is iubilant and happy. In the hi

the various offices, which We print be-

but the aim has been to treat all fairly

bear US out in this statement. The ma

his Office very acceptably during his
term and will rally all Of his old friends
around him. He has succeeded in re.
tanning all Of the popularity with which
he entered the Convention OF 1876, and
has since enlisted many warm friends in
his support.
From the length and character OF his
public services he is known throughout
the depth and breadth OF the State. He
is native of Monongalia county. but
has lived for some time past in Harrison
His early life was spent in commercial
life, from which he turned to accept the
position OF railroad mail agent, under
President Buchanan. In 1870 he was
sent TO the Legislature from Harrison
and was reelected for two terms subse-
quently. In 1879 be was elected TO his
present position by Q afiattering majority,
ably fulfilling the trust and justiiying
the faith OF his friends.
1t has been but short time since his
friends have urged
COL Thomas O'Hrien
to become candidate for this office,
having in view various reasons. The
Republicans doubtless intended one
grand coup d'do, when they nominated
Burke, for this position, He is q Catholic,
