lsiaime's Nomination.

The curse is come. upon us, and the
gfeaat party that has so long guided
the nation may now indeed set its
house in order and prepare, for the
end is close at hand.
n And now, what remains
for us to do, who feel the indignity
that has been put upon MS? There
is only one. course to take and the
conscience Of the plainest man may
tell bim what that is. To swear in
our own souls that, whatever may be
the cost to our pride, whatever may
be the noise and ridicule of those
who can take their disgrace lightly,
we will fight by vote, by argument,
by speech, and by writing, by all fair
and honest means, against the consul
nation of the wrong that is proposed
by those who would put James Blaine
into the chair of Abraham Lincoln.
And If the great party must die, let
it die under the daggers Of its own
sons, who kill it to save it from the
worst dishonor. Puck.

CONTRACT AWARDED
Tho Capital VIII be Completed by Char
lesion Firm


Yesterday the Board of Public
Works, of the State, opened the Sc
cond lot of proposals to complete the
work on the State House at Charles
ton. Near the first Of the month sew
eral proposals were opened, but they
all so far exceeded the architects es-
innate, that all were rejected and new
ones called for. The, second lot
seemed more satisfactory. They
were as follows.
Henry D. Ruffner and James
Grady, Charleston. .$61, 500
John Fultz, Charleston....... $4,000
K. NJ. Stone and M. M. Rust,
CharlestOn....... .............. 66,S00
A. II. Sheppard, Charleston. 86,99l
The Board decided to award the
contract to Messrs. Ruffner & Grady,
at their bid of $6l, 500, being lowest
made. A bond of $4,000 will be
demanded of them and when it is
fled they will have the contract.
One of the bidders was A. II. Shep-
pard, who forfeited the first contract,
and it was matter of doubt whether
he could have legally received Sc
cond contract. However, as there
were two lower bids, the Board was
not called upon to wrestle with the
knotty question. Register Goth ult

A Few Plain Facts.

West Virginia occupies a position
of political prominence this year
which she has never before assumed.
Hitherto the State has been regarded
as safely, Democratic. Up to this
time no extraordinary circumstances
have arisen which placed her in the
list of doubtful States, and when she
rolled up reasonably good Demo
cratic majority it was nothing more
than what was expected. Now it is
different. West Virginia is to be
made the salient point of attack and
defense in the great battle of the
ballots. She is to rank with Ohio as
the two pivotal October States.
Blaine was the first choice Of
West Virginia Republicans for Pres
ident, and this triumph of itself would
give peculiar dash and vigor to the
campaign. Blaine is personally inter
ested in large railroad and mining
interests in West Virginia. He has
plenty of money and his friends, the
brokers and heads Of corporations in
New York and Pennsylvania, openly
avow their intention Of spending
immense sums in the Mountain
State
A careful estimate of the returns
from former elections show that on
an average there are no less than 80,
600 voters in this State who do not
come to the polls. We may safely
assume that no effort will be spared
this year to bring out the republican
part of this stay at-home vote. In
regard to the grcenback-republican
coalition movement, it is too early yet
to say how formidable it may be.
The political gamblers who are me-
gotiating the bargain and sale may
or may not be able to deliver the
goods, but at all events the out
look is not such as to particularly
induce Democrats to any great hi
larity.
The boasts Of a splendid Demo.
cratic triumph are all very pretty,
but it is best to look this matter
in the face, and having
done so we may safely arrive at this
viz: that if the Dcmoc
racy think the State can take care
of itself, and conduct the campaign
on the happy go-lncky plan Of form
err years, they stand very fair
chance Of being defeated; but if
they grid up their loins and make
such fight as they do in Ohio and
New York, glorious victory will be
theirs.
If we are to win in this contest,
then, there must be no child's play.
An absolutely thorough organiza.
ton must be maintained, and the
sooner Democrats come to n knowl-
edge of this the better it will be for
then.- Watchman.

People who live near the great
thoroughfares, where they have access
to two or three dailies and half loz-
en- weeklies, do not fully appreciate
the value OF a newspaper. They come,
indeed, to look upon them as necessi-
ties, and they would as cheerfully do
without their morning meal. But one
must be far off in the country, remote
from "the maddcning crowd" TO
realize the full luxury Of a newspaper
The farmer who receives but one pa
per week does not glance over its
columns hurriedly, with an air OF i'm
patience, as does the merchant or
lawyer. He begins at the beginning
and reads to the end not permitting
a news item or an advertisement to
escape his eye. Then it has to be
thumbed by every member Of the
family, each looking for the things
in which he or she is most interested.
The grown-up daughter looks for the
marriage notices, and is delighted If
the editor has treated them to a love
story. The son who is just about to
engage in farming, with an enthusi-
asm that will carry him far in advance
of his father, reads all the crop reports
and has a keen eye for hints of i'm
proved modes of culture. The younger
members of the family in for the
amusing anecdotes and scrapes of fun.
All look forward to the day that shall
bring the paper with the liveliest in

it fails to come, it is bitter disap-
pointment. One can hardly estimate
the amount of information which a
paper, which is not only read, bht
studied, can carry into family. They
have week by week spread before
their mental vision a panorama of the
busy world its fluctuations and its
vast concerns. 1t is the poor mans

food as he has time to consume aud

The Old Ticket.

Mr.. Tilden's declination does moth
ing more than take him out of the
list Of those spoken of as candidates
who would be willing to accept the
nomination.
But the peculiar circumstances
have deprived Mr.. Tilden of any
choice in the matter.
Every voter who cast his vote for
Mr.. Tilden in 1876 has a grievance to
redress, which demands that Mr..
Tilden again stand for the Office of
President.
The integrity and perpetuity of
our republican form of government
demands that Mr.. Tilden again stand
for the presidency.
The high sense of right and fair.
ness deep seated in the character OF
the American people, demands that
Mr.. Tiiden again stand for the presi-
dency.
Every consideration of public pol
icy, of public morals, of patriotism
and propriety, call upon the Chicago
Convention to make Mr.. Tilden the
nominee of the party.
Such being the situation we be-
lieve the Convention will respond to
the popular demand and give us the
old ticket.
There is 20 better ticket.
There is none that will stir up a
more genuine and general enthusiasm
from Maine to California
There is none other that possibly
can meet all the requirements Of the
situation.
