III Tildea wanta tho nomination; and
Payne, or whoever ia Tilden's lrgatee, can
get the delegation. Among Republicans
tho prevailing sentiment Is for Blaine. with
q kindly feeling Tor Edmunds and sone
strong men for Arthur, but not my OF
them. When l left home tho feeling Of
Republicans was for the man who could
win" l now see no reason 10 revise the
returns.
I fud that Republicans are very much
at sea about the State ticket. For G3yor.
nor there is kindly mention Of Judge
Brown, Of Kanawha; DR.. r. Ii. Logan, Of
Ohio; General W. II. II. Flick, OF Berkeley;
John P.,Jones, Ct Preston, and a hatful
more. Very lew have any. decided prefer

nominees on the Republican ticket is too
vague to indicate anything. q
K l-Iaa
The Democrats ara in better-or is it
worse?-shape. They have men who mean
to have standing room on their ticket or
have blood. Perhaps the winning man for
ti!ht place has not uncovered himself.
There u going to be q fight for %it--you may
rely on that. l think Boyd Faulkner has
the backing of the experts who control the
party machinery Joe Miller hasn't-they
are afraid Of him. Little matter OF rsas.
sess ment, you know. That is cowardly, Of
courBe, but politicians don't mind a little
thing like that. Willis Wilson would be
opposed by the railroads, and that would
jar fhe machinery. l don't mention the
aspiran's for the other places, because this
isn't a Democratic directory.
One day lest fall as I was taking a short
run up The @. & o. railroad, I met Mr..
Harry VI. Marston, OF the firm Of VIM.
Dixon 4 Co., Baltimore, Md. Mr.. Marston

conferred tho Red Gross degree on Pr 81
dent Garfield. La was out at Charleston
on II visit OF pleasure and business and told
me that the industries Of the akanayha
Valley absolutely overwhelmed him with
surprise. "Why," said he, II had heard OF
this valley betore, but 1 did not appreciate
what it was. Tho coal buaineas here is
immense. Aud scenery-I have travelled
BomP, but | never saw it excelled. This is
my first trip, but ahall, by no means, BIO
my last. Next summer. will see me here,
and I'm going to $50 aud enjoy everything"
About the same time l fell in with an
English dude or nobleman, on the train
one morning. We occupied the sams seat.

son Of his coming this way" According
to the schedule the train stopped ut that
point for dinner. In some way I missed
him in getting oil the train, but found him
bnsijy engaged upon entering tho dining
room. "Aw," said be, between mouth. |
ituls, II am SO awfuliy disappointed, YOU
know, over these kaEawha Falls. WHY.
they're nothing but a beastIy little dam
after all, YOU Know" The American blood
boiled and the Whispercr could not restrain
his-laugh.
Several times OF late I have been highly
entertained over certain pointers" that
have been given mo regarding tho coming
elec:ion-l mesn local elections. It is
generally conceded, l am told, that Major
John Mitchell will, on the Democratic
side, have the inside track for the Circuit
Court clerkship, owing 10 the prestige la
acquired by being appointed in q Repub|i.
cans place by two Democratic Judges. one
of whom at least owes his place on tho
bench TO Republican votes. Possibly his
nomination WAS in view when that was
done--at least some people believe that it
was. On the Republican side there are
said to be three young Republicans who
are industrlous'y working up their little
booms. Who arc they? Really now. |
