One State Exchanges on the BuckhannOa
Amalgamation.
Grafton Eagle: We place at the head of
our columns this week the ticket nominated
by the Greenbaek Labor party in conyen-
tim at Buckhannon on the 2lst inst, sub
iect Of course, TO the approval Of the Repub-
lican State Convention to be held at Park
ersburg the 30th Of July.
Richie Gazette: Verify the foundation
stone that was laid few weeks ago. BY
few wise Greenbackers and Republicans in
Putnam county, is already having reared
upon il structure of which the makers of
il nav be proud. The Putnam plan has
substantially prevailed.
Grafton Standard: When the Republican
papers of this State assume to speak by the
card in srrnying the great order of the
Knights of Labor against the Democratic
party. they show how few Of them belong to
this greatest of labor organizations No
man who has even entered the ante-cham-
Der of this body of American toilers could
so falsify the position and objects of that
order. The attempt of the Republican par
" of this State to cripple the usefulness
and distort the objects Of the knights of
Labor is a thrust at organized labor in
West Virginia that even organized capital
has hesitatcd to avow SO publicly. No
bright well-disciplined Knight Of Labor can
afford to allow this attempt at weakening
their loved organization gu UNPUBLISHED. Six
thousand able voters of that body in this
State will see to it that such unblushing
vindictiveness Shallbe punished.
Martinsburg Statesman: The Wheeling
Intelligencer, the Republican organ Of the
State, hastens to endorse the nomination,
and to laud the character of the aristocra-
tic, bigoted and proScriptiye Maxwell, thus
going back on the previous declarations Of
the party in favor of the nomination of
Flick, Haldeman, or some liberal minded
Republican. The result of this amalgama-
ton will be the total and complete disrup-
ton of the Greenback party as a separate
organization: Greenhackcr Republican pro-
cliyiticS will vote the fusion ticket and
those of Democratic an,cccdcutS will gravi-
tate back to their oil party, making the
coming contest a square stand up fight be-
tween the two old parties which, no sane
man can doubt. will result in the success OF
the bemOCratlC ticker.
Mountain Herald: If we remember
rightly, there was man BIZ the name OF
Edwin Maxwell on the Supreme Bench Of
this State once who made himself odiouS on
account of his partisan rulings and decisions
in regard to test OathS and other preScriptive
measures of the Radical party. Can it he
that this is the man whom the GreenbackerS
have nominated for Governor and the RAIDS
are to endorse? If so the old Third district
will roll up ten thousand majority for the
Democratic ticket this fall.
Philippi Republican: The Convention
was complete success. The Grcenbacker5
are jubEant. Harmony and good will pre-
vailed
Buckhannon Delta The result of the
BuckhannOn convention was very soon
known in most parts of the State, after its
adjournment, and has been pretty freely
commented upon by prominent men and
the leading papers OF the State. The DEM
ocratic papers, true to their instinct, figure
out sure success to themselves and defeat
l. the opposition, feeling or claiming to feel
sure that the entire Democratic element Of
the Greenback party will return to their for
mer political affiliations This they will
work for and endcavor to secure, well know
ing that their only salvation lies in this ac
CeSSiOn to their depleted forces. How well
they will succeed remains to be seen. If
they can bereachedby appeals to prejudice,
the Democrats canplay full hand at that.
FairmOnt West Nirginian: Everything is
lovely, and the webfoOtcd aScuine fowl
hangs at a gratifying elevation We will,
for we can. as we feel it in our bones, rcite-
rate our Oft-repeated assertion. The Bour-
bons must 90!
Charleston Times: The sooner the in.
dependent section of the Greenback party
gets together and dominates straight out
ticket the better That is the only medi-
cine upon which the invalid can depend for
relief
MouuI>ville Reporter: The Grccnback
contention /, over but their fusion caudi-
date-Iudgc Maxwcll-doc, not seem to
give entire satisfaction to both wings of the
tu>ioni,ts at this time. We suggest that
the claims of Col Cornelius H. Beall, of
Brooke county, be- considered for the
Gubcrnatorial chair. The Col Is well and
tayOrably known throughout the State. lie
i, man of large intellect and possesses
progressive. liberal ideas
Pan Handle News That there is no real
bond OF union between two parties differing
50 radically on all leading questions, and
that there can bcno fusion without an utter
abandonment of whatever principles thcy
may have is as plain as anything can be.
It only remains to be seen whether the
masses of the two parties will consider il
worth while TO carry ont this scheme Of the
hungry ofhcc->eekerS.
Raycn>woOd News Edwin Maxwell, the
nominee of the Greenbackcrs. Is a life long
Republican and in all probability will be
endorsed by the Republican party, for that
position.
