and talented Wilson, al hsnawha county,
or the polished Faulkner, OF old Berkeley,
to spend time looEirg after the sterling
Democracy OF Cabell county. Joe Miller's
fences are in good condition down there.
The interest OF Cabell county IN the re-

ticket is not strong, as they have no desire
to ill any of them. II they see their
favorite SON, Joe Miller, at the head OF the
ticket they will be contented, well know

msiority in the State. but very few Of them
entertain the idea OF electing even single,
candidate On the ticket.
