are Hon. W. l.. Wilson, Judgs Charles
James Faulkner, Judge Haymondy r ex-Rep-
reeentative Martin and Judge ArTstronS
each of whom will have go3i following
in the Convention. W. l. Wilson will not
be here, as he is taking no part whaieVer IN
the contest, Reis studiously engaged IN
his labors as Pr5sidentOf the West Virginia
University at M6rganUown. His coHnty
Jefferson, will
Vote SoHdly for Him,
and he has much latent strength through
out the entire district No one nc I'd be
surprised if he becomes the STANDARD. bearer
Of the Democracy in this district. J odge
Faulkner is a working candidate and WI!
develop considerable strength. 1t is sid If
Faulkner is nomm mated John Blair IIoge
will again be placed on the judicial bench,
to hold the position rhe hlled before he en-
tered the halls of Congress.
Judge Armstrong is another eastern can,
didate with strength. He has friends all
through Hardy, Grant Hampshire and
Mineral, and they would

will 90 into the Convention with some
western strength, aud is talked OF by his
friends as the coming man. A rumor is
cut that he will get the vote oS Barbour in
order that that c1unty's favorite soE
Samuel Woods, will have chance for the
Supreme Eencb, for which position HIS
friends6 have: long urged his claims. 1t

to
Capture the Prize.
and if so, member of the Supreme Bench
will have to be appointed to tTke the place
he now fills. In tnat event. it is claimed
that Gov. Jackson can find no more worthy
man in the State to don the regI' robes of
a judSeship than Hon. Samuel Woods.
Hon. James Morrow, Jr., the Chesterfield
of the last legislature, would make an able
and polished representative, ara he is fire.
