The committee on credentials did
not report until 5 o'clock, and the

evenly divided on the proposition to

MONTPELIER, Sept. 2-Notwith-
standing the slack canvass and the
lack of issues it is believed pretty full
vote will be polled. To-day's vote will
compare with that for governor in 1850,
when the Republicans polled II, SIS,
the Democrats 2l,945, and the
Greenbackers 10000. The Green
hackers and Independents both
have tickets. The independent
ticket is Identical with the Republi-
can, except for governor and lieu
tenant governor. Besides state
ticket two members OF congress and
the members of the legislature will be
elected. The new legislature will
elect successor to Senator morrill,.

The First District Puzzle.

The Democracy of the First Con-
gressional District are in a peck of
trouble to find candidate.
Cracraft is sick and out of the race.
Frame is an unknown quantity in pol
itics and they are afraid to risk him.
Beside Frame has no bar'l. Bran
non is better known and he has a
bar'l, but the fact that Brannon is
known is the positive assurance that
the bar'l will not be on tap.
The first district was we'll and ably
represented for number Of terms
by Col. Ben. Wilson. He had a
standing in Congress that few, if
any, representatives from this State,
have ever attained. He was decid-
edly useful man there, giving his
best talent and time to serving his
constituents, and successfully man.
aging all measures having special
relation to this State. Even his
worst enemies accord him the claim
of being good representative.
Beside, he had the first district
well in hand. He personally knew
every man in it. He knew the inAu-
ences that controlled the district and
how to set them to work. Give Col.
Ben. the nomination aud it was al
most an impossibility to beat him in
that district. No more shrewd and
energetic politician ever pulled the
wires in the First District.
But the time came when the De-
mocracy of the First District thought
it must have change. 1t was not
enough that they had a most excel
lent and faithful representative. 1t
was not enough. that Col. Wilson
could more certainly carry the dis
trict than any other man, and could
more efficiently serve them in Con-
gress than any new man.
They must have a change.-and
Col. Ben. concluded to allow them
chance for change. He voluntarily
retired at the end of his term and
the convention pominafod Good
The change was indeed good-it gave
the district to the Republicans.
Almost any Democrat now thinks
he can redeem the district, but the
strong probability is that they will
have to call in Col. Ben. and get his
diagnosis of the case before the pa
tient ever entirely recpvers.

day of April, 1884, convention was
called to meet at
WHEELING. JULY 23D 1884.
At 10 o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for State
offices to be voted for at the October
election next, and for the transaction
of such other business as may prop
erly come before it.
1t is recommended that the Demo
Gratis Of the several counties meet at
the Court House of their respective
counties and appoint delegates to
said Convention on the basis of one
delegate for each one hundred votes
cast for Governor j. b. Jackson

of fifty or more.

BY the time this issue of the New
DOMINION reaches many of its reaches
the Democratic Convention at Chi
cago will perhaps have settled the
question as to who will be the next
President of the United States.
If the choice be wise selection he
will certainly be the man. But if
named because of his geographical
location, or solely to appease some
faction the result may be defeat.
Blaine was nominated because of
his ability to carry West Virginia,
and if his election depends on his
success in this State he need not
give himself any trouble on account
of shaping the policy of his admin
istration. Somebody else will do
that.
Steve Elkins don't own this rancho.
He is only the son-in- law of his
father-in-law, that is all, and that
father-in-law has notified the rest of
mankind that he is not one of Steve's
cattle-the opinion of Gen. Golf to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Besides the nomination Of the
author of Test Oaths and much other
proscriptive legislation for the first
honor in the State will certainly set
tie that question in October. The
taxpayers Of West Virginia have
not yet forgotten the time when many
of them were excluded from the
polls by such Legislation, and they
will remember the author.
We think the man named at Chi
cago this week whether he be Bay
ard, Cleveland, Mcdonald or Thur
man will get the electoral vote of
West Virginia, as also the man who
is named by the State Convention
at Wheeling, will be cur next Gov
ernor.
West Virginia is Democratic and
Blaine cannot reduce the majority, if
the idea that he could carry it did
give him the nomination.

A Loud Voice for Co.Eaucatl6n.

At the meeting of the State Teach
ers' Association at New Martinsville
last week, resolution was passed
without dissenting voice, declaring
it to be the sense of the Association
that the University should be opened
to females.
That is a body which is compe-
tent to speak on this subject.
That is body whose judgment
upon this subject is deserving Of
respect.
1t was peculiarly appropriate that
such body should declare itself up
on this subject.
1t had a special right to speak
upon the subject.
This body Of teachers, who repre-
sent the educational sentiment of the
State, and were come together for the
express purpose of advancing the ed
vocational interests of the State could
not properly ignore so pertinent and
prominent topic as that of admit
ting the women of the State to the
privileges of the University.
That not one dissenting voice was
heard in that Association against
the proposition, is somewhat sig
nificant fact. There are very few
topics about which every member Of
such a body will agree.
But it is asserted that out of the
forty-three hundred teachers in West
Virginia, four thousand Of them are
in favor of Co education.
Not only so, but wherever you find
a man who is engaged in educational
work, in or out Of the State, who is
thinking along the line of education
al matters, who has had any practi
cal experience or observation in such
matters, nineteen times out Of twenty
he will be in favor of Co-education.
The tide is all that way-and it is
flood tide, too.
Would it not be strange thing if
the Board of Regents of the Univer-
sity should prove to be the only body
of educational men in the State-if
not in the United States-who are
opposed to Co-education?
But we don't believe they will be.
