The Second Congressional District, as
well as the State at large, may justly feel
proud of the delegates chosen, at the Con-
venIion, at Grafton, 10 represent the
Democrats In the Cincinnati Competition.
For delegate at large Hon. II. q. Davis
was chosen, and while he was opposed by
majority OF the Preston delegation, II
was only upon the ground that the dele
gates should DO chosen from among the
people, and not from among the persons
now holding Office. No one however
questions the ability Of Mr.. Davis, TO rep
resent us truly. The District delegates,
Jsmos Morrow ESQ, Of Fairmont, and
VIM. l.. Wilson. of jefferson, are gentle
men of great ability and peculiar fitness
for the position. Those in attendance al
the Congressional Convention, at Ksyser,
in 1876, can meyer forget the ability dis
played by Dir. Wilson, US the presiding
officer.

AT the County Court recently held 10
tins county the Court refused 10 Grant IL
ceuse, not only TO sell ale and beer, but
refused to grant license TO any person
whatever to keep drug store. II cannot
be denied but that license TO keep
drug etore is sometimes used as covering
fcf the sale of intoxicating liquors, and
the Court taking that view OF the matter
C included it wise to refuse license to all
per5ons. This we think a mistake. There
ore few persons in the county who have
kept drug stores year after year and yet
NO indictment has ever been found against
them; the natural presumption therefore
is that they have obeyed the law and done
legitimate business. II this be true is it
not great mistake to punish them along
with those who have broken the Law

No, Col. Peterson, no comparative
answer. No, you do not want the Dem
,ocraiic party compared with that of the
Republican party.
ANY Judge now upon the Ckeult or
Supreme Bench of this State, elected by
Democratic voters, can reconcile the va
rious parts OF the Constitution indeed,
the Constitution 10 80 plain that even
Republican editor, or the President of a
County Court, should DO able 10 do SO.
and as 10 the codifcstion of the laws un-
der II, that has been so ably done by Mr..
hcely, of Wheeling. that our Republican
Justices of the county, setting as a fiscal
term, purchased the Keely code at the
expense OF the county, for themselves,
and every other ofscoT in the county.
The schools have been constantly improy-
cd by the democratic administration; so
wise have been the measures that even the
Republicans voted in the legislature for
Them and as for the cost of the Constltu-
ton, Brother Peterson, II IL had been
double and nothing accomplished but the
abolition OF th' iniquitous Boards of
Registration the amount would have been
Eell spent; but 30 many and 50 wise are
the Provisions Of the Constitution that even
the Radical press have not been able to
make an impression on 1t.
But his valiant .RadIca. has lodged the
question. What he propounds has been
passed upon by the people TO the great
satisfaction of the people and the Demo-
cratic party. and is now part OF the his-
tory of the past.

Yes, and through that very fact we see a
remedy for the evil-to so thoroughly in

books or our babies. Let us teach our
