Governor Wilson has apl ointed II. B. Dav-
enport ESQ. of this county, as Delegate al large
for the State Of West Virginia TO the Farmers
National Congress. to meet at St. Paul. Mime
sofa, August 25th. Excellent appointment
IirgiHil Free IrcSs.
The foregoing is made the occasion by the
editor of the Vest Virginia Democrat for the
following fling at Mr. G.. F. Cross:
An excellent appointment. The contrast
between the men selected by Gov Wilson and
the men selected by the Ring is very striking.
For example: The two most recent appoint
ments are Mr. Cross by the Ring and Mr.. Day-
export by the Governor
Mr.. Cross was removed from the position
in the Senate for no other reason under the
sun than that he was a democrat. His eff
cheney as an official was recognized by the
Sergeaut-at-Arms of the Senate and he re-
tanned him as long as he was permitted to
do so. He was appointed recently to a
Treasury Agency by democratic admins
tration at the instance of nearly every dem
ocratic senator. If there is any Ring a.
bout IL it is the ring of genuine democratic
metal. Weeks ago we saw a number of let
lers commencing him, written by the very
flower of the democratic side of the Senate
endorsements such as any man IN the
land might covet. Mr.. Cross represented
this county in the legislature with credit
and the place he has filled since then Is but
meaere reward for the service rendered his
party. At time when this lCharlestown)
district of five hundred voters was reduced
bv republican rule to a bakers dozen
when eleven truly loil " voted and elected
themselves to thirteen ofiices-Mr. Cross
did much, more than any one man, to get
our shackles Oft. Itill becomes a citizen OF
Charlestown to say a word detrimental to
him. In the matter of general and Politi-
cal information. of knowledge Of the needs
of this people and how TO develop the ways
aud means to secure the good in govern
mental affairs, he is the peer of any here
and superior to such as malign him.
When q democrat gets government
place by the aid Of Senators Camden and
Kenna. the editor of the Democrat sits on
his hind legs and bowls about henchmen.-
If q republican gets a place that couldn't be
secured for democrat, possibly by the oc-
qpiesceace-not request or recommendation
of senators, he howls like a kicked hound
about that. too. fla senatorial district sees
proper TO hold an early convention OF ITS
democratic representatives, as in the Mason
county district. aud makes nomination
even though it be so good man as Mr.
Eastman farmer and whom the farm
ers were ON the eve of making their candi-
date for Governor few years ago-he
squeals like pig under gate. So it goes
nothing is worth continental in the es-
timation of the editor of the Democrat that
hasn't on it the seal of his appreciation.
