county held their primaries in the differ
ent townships on Saturday. Wellsburg,
at the Court House; Buffalo, atWaugh's
mill, and Gross Greek at Saunders mill.

siastic meetings. The meeting in town

These meetings were held TO select dele
gates to attend county convention in
Wellsburg next Saturday. Wellsburg up.

To say that our Greenbac brethren are
sanguine would be drawing 1t mildly.
They assert with seeming honesty OF be-
lief, that their party will be victorious In
West Virginia. In conversation with q
prominent member Of the party, he In
formed me that the next Governor o.
West Virginia would not be Jake Jackson
INQUIRY was made, "Who will then?'
"His name Is either French or Sturgiss
! am not certain which, was the reply
The pump being in good condition We ap
piled it again, with the question? Can yoG
tell us now who our Sheriff will be? Vel
sir, he looks very much like Mr.. 81. Q
Kimberland, our present county assessor
We kept the pump agoing, and brought
to the surface, "That the Green
back party expect to wipe ont the Bour
bon Democracy this fall. We do not wist
to make any false statements, to be thu
laughing stock OF the other parties. W.
have every assurance OF success"
Falling in with other members Of the
soft money party, well known Tor their de
votion to any cause which they may es
pouse, we discovered that they too were
more than hopeful. Said one: "rhe PEG
pie OF this county will be completely sur
prised at the turn Of affairs this fall. We
intend to give you good set OF officers
and they will not be made by any rings
or ring machinery either: Eyerythins
will be done on the square" .g II
Another said: "Why sir, the ex-con
federates in Mississippi are forming
Greenback clubs and have demanded O
the Governor of that State representa-
ton on the returning boards. They have
also informed him that they intend tc
have a fair election and a fair count, ant
the men elected installed, II they had "a
leave their dead bodies along the high
ways to accomplish it"
Such are some Of the views and expires
sions Of the prominent men OF the Green
back party. They feel confident OF being
able to wipe out the Borbons and probably
the Republicans. They seem to be direct
ing their heaviest Gre into the Democratic
ranks. The GreenbaCk club in Wellsburl
numbers over sixty.
Next Saturday the Democratic primaries
will be held and their convention two
weeks later.
The Republican primaries will be held
on the 14lh OF August and the convention
on the 2lst. After general survey and q
careful inquiry find that the Republican
party OF Brooke county is in excellent
working condition. There has not been o
single Republican, ora Republican soldier,
in the county that has declared his in
tention to support any other than the
nominees OF the Republican party. ltany
such there are, we have not heard OF them
Our Democratic brethren are full Of
hope. As concerns their affairs We only
know that which is visible and which
they may choose to reveal. find thai
they are very confident that Hancock will
be elected. Col. Alex. Campbell says
"We will bury the Republicans so deer
that they will not rise for thirty years
and that he can die feeling that his chill
dren will have pure Government to live
under" Alex. says further: THE Ohio
county Democratic primaries did more to
corrupt politics in West Virginia than
anything that has ever happened"
i After the tickets are completed the work
will commence in dead earnest and we
may expect lively time,
Mr.. James. Duprey and Miss Carllnda
McFee were married by Rev. W. A.
Mackey at the Hudson House on Saturday
last. They came all the way from Co
shocton, Ohio, to have the knot tied, be-
cause some one objected. The objections
could not have been on account OF not be-
ing OF age, as we should Judge that i'm.
poftant event might have been celebrated
several summers ago.
II the owners OF property, north oil the
old corporation limits and adjoining the
triver, would lay their grounds off into
town lots and throw open a good wide
street all along the river they would no
doubt realize very handsomely and start
one OF the best improvements towards in
creasing our population that has ever been
undertaken here. We hope to see this
suggestion laid hold OF by the parties in.
terested and put into practical operation.
Open up road, gentlemen, and your
grounds will be double the value they are
now.

Of Washington College and also Of ALE
gheny Seminary. He leaves in short
time Tor his native land, where he will pro-
claim the Gospel to his countrymen.
Rev. W. A. Mackey, Of the Presbyterian
Church, left to-day for Chautauqua Lake.
The Riverside Glassworks, after sus.
pension OF three weeks, resumed opera
lions again to-day. This firm reports bust
ness as improving and the outlook for a
great trade very encouraging. Five pots in
the furnace were found to be cracked.
They will be speedily replaced, as the
work on hand demands,the use OF every
pot. The firm has been very successful,
and We wish them continued prosperity.
