Hon. Robert White for speaker.

A Wheeling correspondent to the Brax-
ton County Democrat pays the following
compliment to Col. White: Would it not
be q graceful compliment, on the part ofthe
Democratic members of the State, to their
metropolitan city, to allow the final session
of their body in this place to be presided
over BY one OF the four Democratic mem
bers elected 10 represent the county of Ohio?
The city OF Wheeling, and more especially
the Democrats of the city Of Wheeling,
would keenly appreciate such a compli-
ment And, besides, among her delegates
is one whose parliamentary experience and
general State representation would seem to
single him out as the very man for the place.
| refer to General Robert White, q
former citizen Of the county of
Hampshire, aud now delegateelect from
Ohio county. No man in the State has
sacrificed more, worked harder and accom-
plished more effective service for the Demo-
cratic party than General White In 1876
he was nominated without seeking the
nomination. for Attorney General twill
be remembered that at the election Of that
year he received the largest majority ever
received BY Democratic candidate in this
State, He was then q citizen Of that grand
old Democratic county of Hampshire. How
faithfully, earnestly and ably he discharged
the delicate duties Of this high legal office
is known to every lawyer, politician
and business man in the State. The
records attest how much he saved TO the
treasury of the State out of the wrecks left
by absconding or dishonest officials, When
bis term Of office expired on the 18th Of
March, 1891, he declined seeking reuom-
ination, despite every assurance his trienis
could make Of easy success. Since then,
he has quietly pursued his profession in this
city, meeting with an almost unprecedented
success More than once, without sugges-
ton on his part, he has been urged for a
place on the Bench Of the Court Of Appeals.
While Attorney General he prepared, or had
prepared under his immediate supervision.

This year, the Democrats of Ohio county,
recognizing the special importance Of Sc
curing for their county an able representa-
tive, conferred upon General White one Of
the nominations for the House. without any
effort or wish on his part to secure the same.
The wisdom of the choice was shown By the
result of the election-White receiving q
majority considerably beyond that of the
State ticket
In he prime of life, active end robust,

eide, well grounded in parliamentary usage,

There seems to be no means too vile
nowadays to be adopted in pursuit of the
mighty dollar An analysis of New York
confectionery was made the other day By
DR.. CYRUS Epson, of the Sanitary Depart
nent His report reads:

SPIRIT OF THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The Sun: Now the South calls on all to
come and see for themselves, to study for
themselves its social and political spirit and
to observe its industrial temper and capaci-
ties and the wealth with which nature has
endowed it. The season, too is one in
which travel southwark is always grateful,
even when no such extraordinary induce
ments are offered, ard therefore we expect
to see the invitation accepted by many
thousands whose visit to New Orleans will
doubtless help to strengthen the growing
community of feeling between the two parts
of the Uuion.
The Times: The National platform
adopted BY the Republican party at Chi
csgo last summer contains a resolution de-
claring that appointments by the President
to offices in the Territories should be made
from the bonafda citizens and residents oil
the Territories which they are to serve.
The President yesterday nominated B. Plat
Carpenter, of this State, to be Governor
Of Montana, thus showing not for the FIRST
tine that his views concerning what is good
for the Territories do cot agree with those
Of the party at large, as expressed in the
last convention.
The Tribune: Figuring on "Mr. Blsines
plurality" after speaking of the "disfran.
chisement Of |, 200, 700 colored men in the
South" says If there had been or could
now be a free and fair vote in obedience to
the Constitution OF the Uuited States, and
an honest count of The votes freely cast, the
result would be substantially as follows:
For Blaine, 5000, 900; for Cleveland, 4, 9O0,-
900; for all others, 1000. BY the great
est crime against free government that has
ever been perpetrated il this country, a
candidate having real aority Of a mil
lion and half against him has been elect
ed under the forms OF law.
The World Mr.. Blaine's libel suit in
Indiana served its day, as it served its day
in Maine several years ago. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Blaine has made his last
appeal to the courts for campaign purposes.
