TIE Baltimore Sun of Monday last
contained the following from its Wash
ington correspondent: "Much interest
Is manifested here in the result of the
approaching election in West Virginia.
One of the best.informed politicians in
that State, who is a staunch friend of
Senators Camden and Kenna, was in
this city yesterday on official business.
Speaking of the coming political con-
test, he says he never knew the West
Virginia democracy to take such an &C
tive interest In an election on an off
year as at present. They are working
with as much enthusiasm as if they
were In the midst of presidential cam
paign. Nearly all of the members of
the Legislature who have thus far been
nominated are pledged to Senator Cam
den, and there is but little doubt but
what he will be his own successor. Be-
fore the county conventions were held
there was considerable bluster and tai K
Of defeating Senator Camden, but the
anti-Camden strength did not material
lie in the convention. In the mining
district the laboring people will insist
on having one of their representatives
In the Legislature, and their wishes In
that regard will be respected. Their
candidate will. however, be of the dem
ocratic faith. 1t may be that several
members OF the Legislature will repre-
sent the labor element, but they will
also be democrats when party questions
arise. The democratic leaders in the
State have no fear of Representative
Goa being elected to the Senate in the
place Of Camden; on the contrary, they
claim that che democrats will sweep the
STATE and send four Representatives to
the npkt Congress Instead Of three. AZ

The County Institute held in Charles
town last week was attended by 81
teachers, who took much interest in the
proceedings. The usual method OF con-
Quoting these institutes is to make them
places of amusement and entertainment.
This would do very well. if the teach
ers had not to pay so dear for the pleas
ure. According to the school law the
object had in view i'm establishing the
institutes was to instruct the teachers in
the branches taught in our primary
schools and in the best methods Of teach
ing these branches, so that the teachers
may be prepared for the examinations
that follows Immediately after the in
stitutes. We learn that the conductor
of this institute kept this last object in
view and endeavored to make the insti-
tute school of instruction, so that the
teachers who attended might get some
return for the great expense to which
they had been put in attending it.
