ruEsLNAIoRIAL CONTEXT
In the Beimont.HGrrIson District Owe
the River.

In the decentralization District over
the River.
To The Editor Of The IHieltsemotr,
slR:-'The Republican candidate for State
Senator in the district composed of Belmont
and Harrison counties is likely to be selected
from Belmont county. The Republicans oil
Belmont county have had no candidate tor
eighteen years, Harrison county always
carrying off the nomination.
Harrison casts between tweniy-three and
twenty-Six hundred Republican votes while
Belmont casts between forty-seVen hundred
and five thousand.
By system Of manipulation as singlar as
1t is unjust, Harrison county has as large a
representation in the Senatorial Convention
asBemont, each having sixteen delegates.
Again, Belmont county is equally as ur-
jus! to her own heavy Republican precincts
IN selecting her Senatorial delegates as HaI :
rison is TO her. As the rule now Is, Belmont
being entitled to but sixteen delegate and
there being sixteen townships In the county
she gives TO each township q delegate, regard
less OF the fact that some townships cast FIVE
timts the Republican vote that Others do. To
Illustrate, Judge ]. y. Cochran. of Pease
township, and Mr.. EoI. Hogue, OF Somerset
township In Belmont county, are each car
didates for nomination for Republican State
Senator. Pease cast 1865 votes at the last
election for Secretary Of State, while SomeI
set cast but EOS. rnd yet Mr.. Hogue goes into
the convention with as large representation
from his township as Judge Cochran does
from his. We understand Harrison county
will cnncfde the nomination to Belmont, but
that the latter must come up with uuani-
nous delegation for one man.
This Is unjust Should Rhe desire to cor
form 10 the wishes OF mt tjority Of the kt-
publican voters OF Belmont, she Should vote
for that candidate in Belmont representing
the township having In the aggregate the
largest Republican vote.
Again, for illustration, let US suppose Judge
Cochran goes into Convention with the
townships OF PeaSe, .Pultney. Warren and
have 2,627 votes, a majority OF the Repub-
lican vote OF Belmont c0urty, and larger
vote than all Of Harrison. Yet u the decis-
ION be left to Belmont, under the present
manner OF representation, Judge Cochran
would have but four votes In Convention,
from his own county, while his opposing
candidate would have twelve and that twelve
representing but minority vote.
This system will not do, and sooner or
later 1t will beget dscorll. 1t bsboovss the
Senatorial Executive COMMITTEES 10 change
the mode Of representation, predica ing 1t on
tse vote OF the people.
This ia but Republican; and in these dsys
when the Independent voter is becoming
such factor In politics, 1t behooves US 10
consult the wishes OF all.
We are not 'quainted with the other car
didatet; we presume they are all good and
worthy men, but We feel warranted In saying
the convention could not elect mo- popu-
lar, able and efficient candidate than Judge
COChran. REPUBLICAN,.

THIS playful remark is from the Hinton
Hcrald "When the editor Of the Wheeling
ISrELLrGEScER gets through investigating
the crookedness in the United States Mar
shaTs Office he can turn his attention to
Marshall County 1nfrmary." The lNTELLI-
GExcER is not investigating the alleged
crookedne.s in the Marshals Office, but
since there have been charges there is no
objection to an investigation. The lNrELLI-
GEScgR has no knowledge OF the truth OF
the charges, but will publish evidence OF
the " rong doing OF any Republican official,
no matter by whom offered and no matter
whom it may hurt. The charges against
the Marshall County Iafrmary were
brought before the public through the In
TgLLldENCER before the Democratic press
became excited over the matter. An inves-
tigation is in order there, and the 1STELLI'
GExcEg will endeavor to keep its readers
advised OF its progress. None OF these
charges, ii true, will prove that the Demo-
CNtic party is giving the State OF West
Virginia good government.

GALVESTON, TEX, September 2.-The
Necs' Marshall special says: Late last night
occurred the sequel to the difficulty OF
yesterday, resulting from the attempt to
organize negro military company. A
committee went to the negroes rendezvous,
intending. to observe the proceedings OF
the colored men.
The house was found guarded by doz-
en- blacks, one Of whom after calling out
for the whites to halt, Immediately fired
both barrels OF shot gun. A gen.
eral firing then began, the negroes
shooting from the house and be.
hind trees. No one was killed.
Two cololed children were struck by stray
bullets but not seriously irjared. Asignal
was sounded and in few moments three
hundred whites were ready for action.
Committees were sent in every direc.
ton, bnt the negroes could not be
found. The town was strictly patrolled
all night. The negro who did the first
shooting is known, he and others were
looked for to-day but not discovered.
Feverish excitement prevails. Negroes
have threatened to attack the town, but it
is thought they will hardly undertake it.
