the last issue of the SUNDAY REGISTER our
friend Major Anderson declines TO be con-
sidered q candidate for the Senate: ms
does not, however, preclude his Hienus
from supporting him. When your corre.
spondent mentioned his name, IN the last
Communication, he had not even hsara IL
intimated that his friends were urging MN
that il is no Joke, especially from the fact
that his friends have been considering him
without consultation. Come now, MAJOR,
do not get scared at the mention OF your
rame for so exalted q position. FAINT
heart never won" &c. This is race Tree
for all. In addition to the fact that Sena'
tor Truth. of Marion, will not enter the
caucus, il is reported here that Senator
Dawson, of Morgan county, will not enter
the caucus, from the fact that he considers
himself the white Pilgrim" OF the Senate,
having no party. You remember he was
elected as an Independent oyer Senator
Butler, of Jefferson county. :.
BY the way, the Major is either canal
date for Governor or seat In the U. D.
Senate. He is solid in this end OF the
STATE especially since his famous bull
speech in the Senate last winter. Perhaps
III we cannot get a major from the Western
Pan Handle to represent us in the Tenth,
we can get one from the eastern. We want
n major and a major We must nave. NO
backing down, gentlemen. w y
our Young friend, Jas. w. Mchowen,
who was candidate on the Democratic
ticket in this county, is candldate LOT
Sergesntat- Arms Of the House, anu ms
friends will be on hand this winter to help
him in his fight Jim is aigOOd! Democrat ana
was defeated through no fault OF his own.
He is fully competent to fill the position,
and sbouli the members OF the
House elect him they will have no
cause TO regret their action.
We are glad to see that our friend Flem-
ing. of Morgantown, has quite boom
for a position in the Senate
The friends of Hon. b. +. Brady would
like to see him elected doOr-keeper OF the
senate. Ben represented old Berkeley
we'll in the last House. HAD he been re.
nominated his friends claim he would
have been re, elected, such is his POPULAR
~ here in Berkeley. Do not think Berk-
eley wishes to mOnopolise all the oiilceS IN
the State, but really we want just
q little share of the spoils. To show
that we are perfectly willing to divide we
are for Meigs Bland, of Weston, for a
clerkship in the House. Meigs is teaching
school in Weston, and q trip to Wheeling
this winter would do him good.
IL is rumored here that Ed. Pennabacker,
of Pepdleto? county, is a candidate for the
office OF Speaker lof the House, and it is
said by those who know him that he Is
fully competent and would make number
one speaker. We know J. j. Woods To De
a first class man in every particular, and is
competent to fill any position to which he
msy achieve. We are for Joe, and expect
to hail him as Mr.. Speaker of the House OF
Delegates.
] have looked over the field in the what
was) old Third Congressional district |
find great many good names mentioned
"a suitable to replace that OF Henry u.
Davis lpon the Senate rolls. 1t is strange
no one in that district has mentioned the
name of one of Cabells worthy sons. There
is a gentleman from Cabell who has been
honored by his party and who has been an
honor to the State. He has faithfully dis
charged the duties OF the office he now
holds, filled it so we'll in fact that he Is now
serving his second term. Lest he might De
frightened by the mention OF his name, |
will for the present withhold it, but will
teal the reader that he may be found in the
Auditors office; and when you open the
door ask the first man you meet TO point
out to you the handsomest man in the
Office, and you have him. He will meet
YOU with a smile, and hand extended, will
give you such q reception a. to make you
feel at home at once.
There has been great many new build
ings erected here this summer and fall,
which are quite credit to the town and
those who erected them. The old town
is steadily improving in the style Of build
ings. The old wooden structures are giving
place to handsome brick ones. Business is
good and all the laboring men about town
find no trouble in procuring employment.
The Hannis distillery at this place is run
ming on short time" on account OF the
agititation going on in Congress in relation
to extension of the bonded period. Pork
is selling for eight and nine dollars, per
hundred. Turkeys, gross, nine and ten
cents per pound. Eggs thirty cents per
dozen. Butter thirty cents per pound.
This is a good market for our farmers they
always find ready sale for their products.
We have market three times per week.
Wishing the REGISTERS editors, typos,
devil and their many readers merry
Christmas and happy New Year, Will
close for this year-lS82. BERKELEY
