Judge Thompson Said:
"Ien. Golf may not be a very able
nor experienced statesman, yet he stands
head and shoulders above any other Re-
publican who aSplres 10 leadership IN
this State. He is at least a popular
man, and he will be sincerely congratu-
lated by men OF all parties on his pro.
motion. Yes" continued the judge,
che may be continued in the Cabinet by
Gen. Garfield, but he may not. How
ever, Gen Garfield is too much OF a
politician to venture to humiliate Con
by throwing him overheard and substl-
tuting any other West Nirginian."
Judge Boyd
was of opinion that Mr.. Hayes bad done
well in his selection. He didn't see
how ne could have done thing that
would prove more popular in West Viz
ginia. H. thought all parties would
hel pleased. The Judge thought that
40 other West Virginian could hope Tor
a seat in Gen. Garfeli's Cabinet.
At the office of that astute Justice,
William Phillips, the emssary oil the
REGISTER found a group OF politicians,
all eagerly discussing the lttle GeneT-
al's sudden elevation To lame. 'Dldnt
tell YOU" repeated the justice, that
more hearts beat for General Coil than
anv man in the district? Little West
Virginia has done herself proud, and

party.
"Oh, | guess Archy can yet a mission
or consulate, but, OF course, West \lr'
giuia can't have two men IN the Ca0l'
net
"Archy will come into play yet" said
the third man. 81 guess therell be a
general overhaulng of the government
offices about here, before we're through
with it," but the scribe was in search OF
opinions more than predictions, and
bent his steps i'm another direction,
The smiling samuel Barnum MCCOl-
lorh was rs pleased as the best over
GJtf windfall. He thought Geoll Q
Caldwell would succeed him as District
Attorney.
Ei. Dunaway was John A Hutchin-
son for Gotfs Successor, and Bob Mar
shall suggested that would leave Jake
Kemple out in the cold, ana that was
not to be thought OF

taste in appointing Gof,' and now was
that for a neat compliment to Con, any
how?
Deputy Marshal Campbell stopped

there with HAYES" in GofFs elevation.
He was for John A. Campbell ior Dis
trict Attorney first, last and all the time.
