Some Startling Political News Promised -
Marion County Democrats Wide Awake
News Other Than Political.
FAIRMoNT, W. Va, September 3.-The
political situation in this county Of fusion
continues warm and generally unchanged
The recent conference held here BY the
bosseS amounted really to nothing, for Uncle
George Manley could not be disposed Of sat
isfactprily, and it is probable that the slate
in IL county will remain unchanged.
Thers another matter, however, that gives
tie leadlng lights some concern 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the incubus which
graces the State ticket must be gotten rid of
in some manner or other and plan and a
consideration have been finally settled on.
In this connection it is certain that the
REGISTER will receive some startling news
soon and Spencer W. Sturm Will be greatly
surprised. This thing, Of course, is not en-
tirely new, but those parties managing
the affair have no idea as to how much Of
their doings are known to outside parties
We will do some effective campaign work
from this time forth and the enthusiasm Of
the average Democrat will
Boil Over.
Governor Wilson will be in this county
on the 10th and will address the people at
Fairview and Fairmont. Then, after about
the 18th inst, Hons William l.. Wilson
and B. f. Martin will make speeches at
several points in the county. 1t is much
desired that Mr.. Wilson shall meet his op.
ponent, Mr.. Reynolds, in joint discussion as
we all want to hear the issues of the day
fairly and ably discussed" The prospect
for the success Of the Democratic county
ticket grows brighter every day. The story
in the Virginian Of last~eek that that sterl-
ing Democrat, Van B. Knight predicted de-
feat, is repudiated by that gentleman as a
lie out of the whole cloth, and probably it is
lie.
By the way, the Virginian took some ex-
ceptions to the article IN last weeks REGIS
TER and intimated that the writer was
An Ass.
Now, the article may have appeared ASSN
inc tc the gentlemen who run that delect'
able sheet and the witer may be an ass,
but how ridiculous it appears for those
specimens to brav at decent people! The
truth is that that article contained the truth,
and the natural thing for the accomplished
editor to say was something on level with
himself
The Democrats in this county are run
ming decent campaign and their excellent
organ, the Index, is doing fair and effective
work, and there is no STOPPING to mean
little insinuations and indirect and coward
ly thrusts at good citizens. The reports
are cheering, and to-day a we'll informed
man made the remark that Thomas B. Car
penter would get more votes in his district
than any man had ever received before.
