TIE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.
The Democratic squabbe over the Con.
gressiOnal nomination still bubbles and
boils with vigor. Leonar6's friends ARE
snnguine and Ut times little impudent.
The eugerness with which they sezu every
idle runior about Judge Jackson's with.
drawal reveals IN object uuou which their
ieurs nre concentrated, and it is whispered
that these said rumors are started by others
than the friends OF the Judge. Whatever
others may say, the Judge is on the track
aud will remain OH until the convention
decides the question. He will not resort
10 the little questionable tricks common
among struggling candidates OF going to
kissing voters anu "settin' 'em up" for the
boys in order to yet votes, but will main.
tain that good old Virginia dignity. which
since the war has SO degenerated and be.
come: well nigh engufed in the murky VII.
ter OF contending factions; und like Gin.
cinnatus OF old he will retain firm grin
on his pillow (a judicial onel until his coui.
try bids him come 1t is hard to predict
the result OF the struggle. Leonard and
Gibson will hive large majority Of the
convention, but each will BIZ strong enough
to beat the other and give the prize to the
dark horse. 1t is rum0red that Gibson
will throw his strength for Gum, OF Mason,
If three or four ballots shall demonstrate
that he cannot receive the nomination.
and it is also claimed that jackson has a
strong following in the Gibson counties.
In the event OF wreck the Leonard dele.
gates will probably unite on Jackson,
which, with the scattering votes gathered
from other delegations will place his nom
ination high up in the list OF possibilities S.
In my opinion Judge Jackson now has the
best show among the avowed candidates,
anu Judge Moore among the dark horses.
The convention will undoubtedly be a
strong one. The linen buster will be there
and will wave for Leonard-a reciprocal
service for Dawes heroic action on the pro.
hibitory amendment question last winter.
The responses from every portion Of the
district concerning Judge Loomis's candi.
dacy are OF the must cheering character,
and Indicate political revolution in the
ShOestring district that will result in Dem.
ocratic defeat next October. All the au.
guries are favorable. The nominee is mop.
ular, the people are FESTIVE and will endure
no more Democratic nonsense like the re-
assessment bill ind the slap in the face on
the prohibition question. Look out Tor
good reports from the Shoestring.
You should either call halt on Turner's
Tree trade gush or raise the tariff on that
class Of literature. Turner's midnight
thought and the mercury cavortns around
among the ninetieB in the day time pro.
duce an ennui that neither julips nor ice.
bergs can allay. Please suppress him.
Major McConnell's corps OF engineers
will be put on the W., 7. 4 G. route, be.
tween this city and Point Pleasant, soon ss
they have finished their labors on the Buck.
harmon road, which will probably be in
about two weeks. Then will commence an
active campaign in pushing the survey to
completion and securing the right OF way
and having all the preliminary work con.
cluded at the earliest possible day. In the
opinion OF your correspondent this line will
yet niateralize into full blown enterprise.
Without pretending to guess any OF the Sc.
crets OF the originators OF the enterprise, |
am inclined TO the opinion that Senator
Camden has been deceived rs to the prom.
lses and assurances Of some OF the capital.
lists who embarked in the enterprise at
first. But that some Of them still continue
with him and that others can be had soon
as matters are ready to commence necoti.
atoms, there is every reason to believe.
Senator Fair, the heavy man Of the syudi.
cate, expresses fuith in the enterprise and
proposes to stand by it 10 the end.
Some disappointment passed over the
spirit OF the Republicans hereabouis rs the
telegraph gave the result of the District
Attorney contest-Sot that Flick was mp.
pointed, but that Hutchinson WIS not.
would not be understood rs voicing any
sentiment Of opposition to Mr.. Flick. We
recognize in him the true Republican, the
able lawyer and the genial, pleasant gentle.
man, and one OF the iirmest friends PAR.
kenburs had in the memorable Capital
contest Of thirteen years ago. Flick will
have no stannchtr friends in the State than
the Republicans OF this section. At the
same time, veal feel the disappointment Of
llutchinson's defeat. lIepossessed the Gle.
