The Democratic Conventions.

On next Saturday, June 28th, the
Democrats of Monongalia will meet
in the several districts to appoint
delegates to the State, Congressional
and County conventions. We would
urge upon our Democratic friends
the Importance of attending these
meetings and taking an active part
in their deliberations. The proceed
ings of the County Executive Com
mittee, published on our third page,
give in full the recommendation of
the Committee in regard to what
should de done.
Each district meeting is to appoint
eight delegates to attend the State
Convention which meets in Wheeling
on the 23d Of July; eight delegates
to attend the Congressional Conven-
ton which meets at Grafton on. the
22nd day of July; aud thirteen dele
gates to represent each district in the
County Convention which meets in
Morgantown on the 9th day Of Au
gust to nominate a county ticket.
The districts are also requested tt
appoint two Democrats to serve foul
years on the County Committee, and
also committee Of FIVE to act as I
District Committee, that will assis
in organizing the Democratic party
in the various districts. and cooper
ate with the County Committee.
1t seems that there is determine
ton tc organize the Democratic party
of Monongalia better than ever before
and to meet the enemy with an I'M
broken front. To this end not only
the Democrats but the liberal ele
ments OF all parties are invited tt
participate.

An assessor who assesses has been
discovered in Bucks county. Pa. This
phenomenal character has increased
the valuation of taxable property in
his district $4,000 and found TWEEN
ty-one gold watches that were always
missing before when the assessor
made his appearance. 1t is some
thing remarkable the way property
depreciates in value and how many
people who are supposed to we'll to do
are found to be just on the verge of
poverty and bankruptcy by the as
ssesor, and public officer who sue
ceeds so well in maintaining the val
ues Of property under such discour-
aging circumstances ought to be en-
couraged by that class of property
owners who have heretofore regarded
his appearance as something just a
trifie less than financial calamity.

Hon. Henry G. Davis publishes a
letter that will set at rest the ISLANDERS
circulated by Republican papers and
politicians that he would work against
his own party and in favor of Blaine
in West Virginia. Republicans
sliced this statement with avidity
and tried to believe it and also to
persuade themselves that they would
eventually come into possession OF
the promised political land of West
Virginia.

Let the Chicago Convention
Nominate Samuel ,. T'fldcn!

e
The American people will never
rest easy until the presidential fraud
Of 1876 has been effectually rebuked.
That native sense Of fairness and
justice which was violated in Mr..
Tilden's disbarment, will never be
satisfied till the people who elected
him have seated him in the cxccu-
tive chair.
Never while Mr.. Tildcn is alive
will this desire diminish or this de-
mand cease. 1t is stronger to-day
than it was four years ago. 1t is
more importunate now than then.
There has been no such unanimity
on a presidential candidate since
Washington.
These are facts that are apparent
to the whole American people. Mr.
Tilden could, by mere consent, re-
ceive the nomination at the hands of
the National Democratic Convention,
by reclamation. He would carry the
country by storm. There would be
no manner OF doubt abont his cleo
ton from the day of his nomination.
1t would be as certain as any future
political event could possibly be.
Is it not then, all things considered,
the duty of the National Democratic
Convention to nominate Mr.. Tildcn2
We mountain that it is--Mr. Til
den's declination to the contrary not
outstanding.
We maintain that, Notwithstanding
his physical condition, ho is the most
satisfactory candidate the country
can produce.
We maintain that neither Mr..
Tilden has given, nor will the con
vention be able to give the country
any satisfactory reason why he should
not be nominated.
Weprefer-the country prefers-to
bury him from the White House,
rather than that he should never oc-
cupy the executive chair at all.
Mr.. Tilden's old coat, swung upon
the back of the executive chair, would
draw an expression of reverence from
the American people greater than the
form of any other man who might
fill it.
1t is not imperative that Mr.. Tilden
should perform the duties of the
Executive if he were elected. 1t is
entirely practicable to put the next
choice Of the party after Mr.. Tilden,
next after Mr.. Tillen on the ticket.
Let the convention determine what
man it would prefer If Mr.. Tilden
were dead, and make that man Vice
P. esident.
The country demands the oppor-
tunity of electing Mr.. Tilden to the
Presidency.
We are bound to vote for him!.
We are bound to elect him once
more!
We are bound to seat him in the
executive chair if he don't live day!
Let the convention name Samuel j.
Tilden, and all the people will say,
Amen!

FIGHT FOR CHILD.-The TYLER
county Star has an account of fight
for the possession of a child in that
county that was almost tragedy, as
the father was shot down during the
struggle. 1t appears that Jacob
Myers, young and prosperous far
mer, and his wife being unable to
live happily together, separated. She
took her children, babe and two
year-old boy, and went to her fathers
home In Ohio, just across the river.
Wednesday last Myers got hold of
the boy and took him home. His
wife followed and overlook him, but
lie refused to give up the child. The
next evening Mrs. Myers and friend
of hers from Sistersville, named John
Summers, went to that part of the
county where Myers, had been stop
ping since the breaking up of his
household. The following morning
she went to see Myers, while Sum
mers loitercd behind. She represent
ed to Myers that she had come for
her "tllings," and he started down
the run with her, she carrying the
child. Refusing to go up the branch
to Myers house, he demanded the
child. when she called to Summers
to shoot him. In the melee which
ensued she dropped the child. Sum
mers fred two shots at Myers. one
of which took effect in Myers left
wrist, when he fell. Becoming fright
cncd the two took hasty departure,
leaving the child, Warrants have
been sworn out for the would be as

Judge A. f. Raymond, of Fairmont,
seems to- be formally in the field for
the governorship. That adds still
further tosthe uncertainty as to who
will be the nominee Of the convcn-
ton. But it will do no harm to have
all the best men Of the State before
the convention, to choose from.

The Blaine boom seems to have
collapsed in West Virginia about as
badly as it has in New England.
Bro. Hart's attention should be called

1t is none of our business but we
think primary election should be
conducted by candidates and their
friends with some prctention to fair
ness. If the half that is said of the
late primary in this county be true,
it is little wonder that scores of good
republicans decline to be bound by
the result.

West Virginia Republicans are not
INDUCING in as much braggadocia
as usual. Talk is too cheap to be
valuable and the course of events
proves many of their statements to
have no foundation. They have al
most ceased to boast that they will
carry West Virginia in the fall cleo
tion. The fusion scheme is failure;
Hon. H. G. Davis repudiates their
slanderous statements that he will
help carry the State for Blaine; the
organ of the bosses has suspended;
in fact the whole machine is out OF
fix. 1t seems they are doomed to
hopeless defeat. After this campaign
they may as well shut up shop and
try something less uncertain than
politics.

Every individual, North, South,
East and West, who voted for Samuel
j. Tilden in 1875 has a personal
grievance to satisfy, and the Demo
cratic Convention at Chicago should
not close the way. A majority of
those who supported him in that CEN
tennial campaign. were deliberately
and crimina,ly outraged by the party
in power. There is only one means
of redress, and that is for the Chicago
convention to re-nominate, and let
the people re-elect, and install him.
