Considerable speculation is abroad at
the present time as to who the candidate
for State Senator on the Democratic ticket
will be. We have two candidates mere ID

are rather in favor Of MIR. Donehoe, as
far as we can learn.
The late cold snap has not hurt the
fruit. The prospects are very tiattering.

For some time past your correspondent

people on the question Of "iusion'" we
have talked to quite a number, and the
sum and substance Of their views Will De
found to be about as follows: They say
that the Republican party is party Oh
principles; that It's course has been pro-
gressiye; that since 1856 We have oeeh
taking one step after the other, always ID
the advance, while the opposing parties
have been reactionary; that whatwe were
irving to build up and make q beneht iot
The people, they have been trying TO tear
down: that the Republican party gave Us !.
,bs new State OF West Virginia; also II
cave v ns the Union preserved, and that its
5rinciples are popular and becoming more
~. and That we have about 46,OOO or SV,'
al voters in the State, and every yeai We
see recruits coming to US. A..
Our strength and our bulwark IS the
free schools, dotted over every NIL aho
vale of our State. Though We are in a mi,
nority, vet, let us cling TO the principles oil
the party and not sacrifice them, even
thoueh Il might give US an office or Two
for the time being. The doors oil the ne Y
publican party are open, and We VIII wei
come either q Greenbacker. or Demo
Graf to the fold, and try and bring him VI
in the true light OF our principles. Ihese

congressional committee in favor of with

miles west of the Tooth meridian, and de.
cided the report to be untrue. On the mo.
tion OF Prof. Wilbur. it was resolved this,
