FAIRMoNT, W. Va, June l9-When the
news of Blaines nomination reached this
place. there was great rejoicing among the
faithful. A crowd of men and boys num-
berlng perhaps thirty, marched down Main
street to the court house, when the cam
paiCn was opened by blank load from 7.
H. B. Staggers What the orator said
about Gods green co"9PH" stretching
from "Oregon to California;, needs not to
be repeated, no more than the peculiar cir
cumstanccS under which it was said. The
time seemed auSpiciouS and movement
toward a Blaine and Logan club was male
Last Saturday night meeting was held in
the court house here to effect perma-
nent organization and committee ap.
pointed for the purpose named b. NJ.
Shinn. Of the West Nirginian as perma-
nent chairman This appointment was not
acceptable to few of the enthusiasts, but
Shinn was elected and it only remained for
the dissatisfied parties to submit gracefully
or kick. They chose the latter alternative,
and ex-governor Pierpoint, 4. NJ. BoggeSs
and "White Fox" all sQuealed. Pierpoint
will support Greeley and Staggers will (for-
tunately for Blaine) refuse Ia ConkIing, to
give the nominee that cordial support that
he would have given him under other cir
cumstances These dsscnsions in the g, o.
p, together with the shaking up that it will
get this tall, will so completely annihilate its
great moral ideas" that IngersOll Dorsey
and even the Fox" will be ashamed 20
claim the dObris
The Democracy.
The Democracy of this place have ia ken
the preliminary steps toward the organiza-
tion of club that will be properl named
after the Chicago convention meets. Head
quarters have been opened in the Conner
ford building, opposite the Mountain City
House and adjoining the Index office. Good
literature in abundance has been supplied,
the room has been comfortably furnished,
and on next Saturday evening the organizs-
ton will be completed and work will begin
in earnest. The Democracy of Marion was
never in better condition than now All the
people are awake to the necessity of the
case, and there is widespread determlna-
tion to nip in the bud the attempts of pOlitl-
cal trimmers to attain control Of our State
and county. Maxwell is wonderfully OBJ
noxious to our people and Sturm is
stencil in our nostrils. OF course
We all have our preferences as to what can
didatcs the Wheeling Convention should
nominate, but whether pleased in the
selection or not the support that any good
man will receive from the Marion County
Democracy will be cordial, earnest and
hattering in the extreme. We are wide
awake and ready and eager to do good ser
vice for the cause. and there will be no
bolters.

In this connection it might be said that the
teachers in the Normal School this year

eral desire that no material change shall be
made in the faculty Of the Institution. 4
