The Republicans Of this State are
trying TO get out Of q pretty bad
scrape, brought about BY their at.
tempted secret conference at Col
Iumba'. By trying TO create the i'm.
preston that the recent meeting Of
the Democratic Slate Executive
Committee at Petersburg, wa held
with closed doors, and only "a chos.
en- few" were admitted. This
charge is a base lalsehood. The
call and date for the meeting was
published in nearly every Demo
cratic paper in the State, and an
invitation to Democrats to attend
the meeting was extended. Lying
seems to be the Republican stock
in ttade.
The Mountain S'ate, speaks in
very complimentary terms of Mr..
D. II. SLeyenson's candidacy for the
House Of Delegates on the Demo.
cratic ticket, but adds that while
he is a "hustler," he will be beaten
by a Republican, if he is nomina.
ed, as will any Democrat. Our
neigbbor need not crow too soon.-
IfMt Stevenson is the nominee,
you caG bet your bottom dollar that
he will be elected. The Democrat.
ic,nominees Of this county will oil
be elected this fall, and our Repub.
licans might as well make up their
minds to that frst as last.
The Republican management 10
West Virginia is becoming very
obnoxious to the Young men, and
there is a growing disposition on
their par! to rebuke the party, be
cause they are trying to sell out to
anything that will help them beat
the Democrats, and elect GofI to the
Senate. We are glad to see nun.
Der Of young Republicans allyiug
Themselves with the Democratic
party of this county.
-----------s----
Let the Democratic Convention
nominate whom il will as their
standard.bearer for Congress in this
District, one thing is certain, that
the nominee will be elected to rep.
resent the District, by anywhere
from 1900 to $500 majority. The
RAIDS may laugh at this prediction
il they will, but they will find it to
be true to their sorrow, after the
ballots are counted.

In these days when nominating
conventions will soon be rife in the
land, and somebody is going to be
disappointed We would fuin give a
little gratuitous advice, Ifyou or
your friends fail to get nominated,
don't kick. 1t is an absurd and
undignifed pasttime, and you will
cut a ridiculous dgure, in fact make
a fool oiyourself' RememBefif you
go to cursing, yeRsgading and kick
ing you vii be sure to get kicked
some other time. A kick strikes
both ways, and is a dangerous ex.
pertinent, Don't try it.
The Radical Court House Ring
in this county, has commenced the
process Of whipping in" the mem.
bers Of their party who chow any
disposition to "muriny." Boss
Gibbons, issued the order, aud the
Ringstors must obey, you know.
The people Of this county are
commenting pretty severely upon
the action of the Republican Court
in doubling the salary of Prosecu.
ting Attorney Gibbons, in viola
ton of law. Let the people hold
Redmond, Forrest and Raymond
responsible.

President Cleveland has written
and caused to DO published, an ord
er forbidding Federal office holders
from participating in and assisting
in manipulating political conven,
lions, or using their official posi-
ton in influencing the nomination
Of any candidate. Cleveland is
President.
Redmond has written n letter
stating that he is not seeking the
Republican nomination for Con.
gress in this District, but that he
will accept the nomination, if ten.
dered him. That is u very polite
way Of announcing himself Il can.
