Representative Cabel of Virginia regards the
outlook in the State as very encouraging for
the democrats. The party he says, Is IN good
shape and alive 70 the importance Of the APP
preaching contest. And quite as wide-awake,
too. are the Mahonites, though their alertness
partakes somewhat of the desperate, anything
to-save. our-skins element. Congressman CAB
eI evidently mistakes the spasmodie wrieglng
of a dying political remnant for healihIni ae-
tivitv-otherwise he could not attach 'ucn
prime importance TO the movements OF tAe Ma
hone crowd in Virginia. There may perhaps
be a sort Of lively scrimmage across the line
this Fall but the democrats will be wanting IN
native grit-not to say common chari'y-n
they don't give the enemy coup-de-goee which
shall mercifully end his sufferings.

- - Wayne lI.oeII..

From the Wayne d0f9clit-
The West TTrgniq Democrat, published at
Charlestown. is opening a vigorous cam
naigu against Senator c. mden's aspirations
for return 20 the Senate.
The manner of the attack bodies no good
to the Democratic party but promises dis
ruption and defeat If the tactics adopted by
the Democrat are taken as q precedent wor-
thy TO De followed by the opponents Of other
candidates.
We give the following as a specimen OF
the sty,eadopted by the Democrat itsays ;
Svcophants and parasites gather around the
millionaire politician as CarriOn crows swarm
about d carcass. and The immense wealth of
lfr Camden. coupled with prostitution of
Federal patronage has surrounded him with q
horde of >eryiic hcnchmen ready To black hrs
boots SD long as NE retains either his money or
hi, office and who viii be equally ready 10
llackel his name the instant ms power IS lost.
The l4tterv of his heuchmen doubtless mis-
lends the senator. These henchmen find IL
profitable to dattef his ambition, and are ever
an tine alert tO earn reward 10y vOciierously de-
uounciu- those who believe that West Virginia
should De represented by some one whose past
occupation and habits OF life give him train
ing .0r the Senate.
The effect of such unwarranted, impOlitic
aud impudeut charges against those whoare
friends of the Senator, will likely lead to
counter-charges against those n 'rhose Dl-
fsrs' such charges are made.
Doubtless the Democrat is championing
some incipient candidate in his own region,
but the inauguration of such campaign
will. beyond a question, prove disastrous to
him. be it whom it may. In such a conflict
the best interests of the party are jeopar-
died to subserve private interests and per-
sOnal plccn.
