How It Looked Last Summer TO Prom

How It Looked Last Summer 10 n Prom
inent West Virginia Republican.
The following interview took place last
summer between Mr.. Geo. Q. Sturgiss, OIL
Morgantown, and the editor ofthe Wheel
ing Register. At least we find 1t 80 reported
in the issue Of the Regista OF June 10th,
1870:
Meeting Mr.. Geo. @. Sturgi,s casually, l
proceeded to probe his political bump for
some Republican capital. Nr. Sturgiss Ia
prominent Republican OF Monongalia
county, q Radical among the Radicalest,
and generally alive to the situation.
understand, said |, that you expect 10
operate the Republican machine from this
end OF the State in the next campaign =
that, In fact, Monongalia will furnish the
candidate OF your perty for Governor;
who will he be, yourself or Hagans2
mot myself, assure you. l have not
talked with Mr.. Hagans on the subject,
He does not confde his political plans to
me.n
VIII he not be a cardidate2
"That l cannot answer. ] have heard
him spoken Of, but it Is my opinion that
he Is not aspiring to that particular posi-
ton"
Do not you Republicans count on him
drawing the Granger or Greenback vote
~ am aware that his affinity with the
Granger element in the last Legislature
was somewhat marked and matter OF
general comment, but / don't know the
purpose OF It. All that have heard him
say In reference to the measures Of the
Legislature was that he intended to
jump astride OF tie Constitutional amend
ment."
Well, II not Hagans, who do you think
will be the Republican nominee for Gov.

"without doubt"
Don't you think It probable they will
form an alliance with the Greenbackere
and allow them to name the candidateP
mot by any means. There 10 no nat.
ural affinity between the Republicans and
Greenbackers, and 80 far as myself am
concerned would rather see the Demo.

hacker. 1 will certainly not endorse or
vote with such coalition, and don't
think the Republican party will"
You know, however, that such coali-
ton 10 in the wind2
YES, but no prominent Republican has
favored II. The INrRLLiGEScER would not
support 1t, and in fact there Is no kind Of
consistency It."
What have you seen in the course OF
the 1STELLIdEScER that induces You to say
Il would mot support it-has Il not rather
encouraged the movement?

Is opposed to It, aud that he could moi be
induced to favor such a bargain. The Re.
publicans will undoubtedly make an indie

hope Of sharing In little triumph oyer
the Democracy?
~ am quite confident there will DO
three tickets In the Held."
But what can the Republicans hope
from the campaign under such circum.
stances2
"oh, as to that, regard the State as
Democratic, aud II don't mat

BdltoB lntellNeneaf
Ihear around the city Of Wheeling that
ten men, who are said to be leaders Of the
Republican party of West Virginia, have
come to the conclusion that they will IN.
dertRke to disbsnd the Republican party
as straightout Republican organization
and mix It with the Greenback party, and
by so doing do what they can TO defeat
Kenna in the Third Congressional district
and elect Henry s. Walker in his place.
This Is nice scheme-ior scheme II is
10 present TO the forty odd thousand Re
publicans OF the State. Let me say to the
schemers who are getting 1t up that 1t will
not succeed. There are men who do
not look with any favor on such a
coalition as this would be, and who will
either refrain from givingi 1t any support
at the polls or 60 over to the Democracy
in the canvass and give 1t their active OPP
position. REPUBLICAN.

ROGER A. Pryor, whose political dlsa-
bilities are removed by Congress, expects
to run for Congress on the Democratic
ticket in Brooklyn next fall. Pryor after
the close Of the war went to'New York
City and began practcing law in a small
way. He prospered. Business and &C.
quaintance came to him, and latterlY he
has given good deal Of attention to local
politics. A local boss like John Kelly or
Hugh Mclaughlin, the head of the Brook
lyn machine, finds it highly convenient to
have an absolute Southerner or two
around, because their acquaintance at the
South is very convenient thing in work
ing out the problems Of national Demo-
cratic politics. Pryor, q tall, dark man
with sallow face, a rapid utterance and q
Southern manner, is well known aud liked
in Brooklyn, where he lives in pleasant
house on the "HeightS."

Now that BeaconsGeld Disrasli steps
down and out, the New York Herald filings
this at him: DespisiDg him because Of
his humble birth, he, in turn, from the
lofty pedestal Of his eastern origin, spurn-
ed their modern patents Of nobility and
smiled at their claims Of long descent At
the head Of the destinies Of ono of the
most practical nations in the world, his
methods and his policy were imbued with
the spirit and the traditions Of the east,
whence sprapg his race, and to which he
again planned and plotted to transfer the
sceptre Of power. This was his idea OF
English glory and greatness and grandeur,
and the singular thing connected with his
administration is that he succeeded in
making so cold and unimaginatiye a
people as those he governed believe for SO
long time in such an Aladdin policy.

The Democracy :ailed to nominate
Colquitt for Governor by thirteen votes,
and the Convention, after recommending
him to the people Of Georgia for the Office,
