WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Interesting Political Notes Cleaned From
Our State Exchanges.
A couple of weeks ago we said editorial
ly we were Of the opinion that Hampshire
county was entitled t. the Democratic AN
didate for Governor, and after clipping
our article, the Romney Reciea1 dds:
1--WE appreciate this recognition OF
brother Hawyermale and the manner IN
which he proposes TO reward the party
here for its ~faitbfulness. We know OF no
one who is especially aspiring to the gov
ernorship, bat agreed with the he'rs tnat
We have good material. While Hampshlre
would be glad to have the honor, and can
furnish a man for the place who will NIL II
with honor to himself and the party, enc
will give an undivided support 10 the NOM
inee whoever be may he and without re-
gard to the part of the State he may come
from. "-Berkeley Nerrs.
A correspondent suggests the name Of
Judge James Morrow, Jr., as q sultaole
man for Governor. He would make an
eellent Governor, and the Democratic
DaFLY GOuAU QOl uOAllublC o bSNNSA A
the place, but Judge Morrow Is not among
the ofice-seeking class, and 1t IS douotinl
whether he could be induced to give up nls
large and lucrative law practice, and pleas
ures of his delightful home for the annoy
.ances and diseomforts of an office even 80
honorable As the Go~yernorship OF the State.
He is a man of learning, spotless character,
eminent in his profession, dignitied IN
manner, and withal one of the best debaters
in the State. If Judge Morrow would con-
sent to become q candidate, the party
would make no mistake in nominating
him.-HgRtRgtOn Advertiser.
The Wheeling REGISTER, of the 11th
mat publishes q very sensible and timely
editorial under the head of THE Need OF
the Democracy" which we would Xix to
reproduce if space permitted. The REG-
IsTER is alive to the fact that the Repuoll-
cans are organizing and are going to make
q great effort to carry this State, and while
there is no need Of being scared, yet or
ganizAtion should be met with organize
tion, and it is suggested that the Demo-
Gratis should formulate some scheme where
by Democratic clubs may organize all over
the State. With an organized and solid
Democracy, the State is ours beyond a
question, and we very heartily concur IN
the REGISTERS suggestion, that We should
organize rs o as practicable. -NOands-

I The Wheeling REGISTER OF last week
contained the speech delivered by our Con-
gresham, W. L. Wilson, at the late ban
1uet in Boston. If we had space We would
reproduce his great speech on this occa-
sion. 1t is worth carefully reading. MIR.
Wilson indeed has . national reputation as
a statesman. 1t is o rare thing that IN
a great country like ours that a man in so
short a time in public life gains such q
reputation as statesman as Mr.. Wilson
has. West Yirginians ali can point TO the
Hon. W. l.. Wilson with pride.-IHcker
Democrat.
The Democratic meeting at the Court
House Saturday night was well attended,
and those present enter enthusiastically
into the work. A committee was appoint
ed to draft a plan of organization, which
will report at the next meeting, to be called
By the Chairman. 1t IS hoped that this
committee will get 10 work at once and
draft O constitution and rules Of order for
the club, and report at an early day. Let
the organization be effected as soon as pos
sible. Charleston Star.
A correspondent of the Huntington Id
reriiser suggests Judge James Morrow, OF
Fairmont, as a suitable man to be noml-
mated by the Democrats for Governor. We
agree with the Advertiser III saying that
Judge Morrow is q man of learning, spot
less in character, digniied in II and
eminent in his profession. He enjoys an
euviable reputation in the State, and would
be a strong candidate. - Greenbriar indie
pendent.
Judge Ira McGinnis and the newspapers
in his Judicial Circuit are having a tilt
over the question of holding a convention
to nominate u candidate for the Judge
ship Conventions used to be all right
with the Hon. liza, and 1t looks q little
strange that at this late day he has so
great on ~autipathy against them. We fear
there is a colOred gentleman in the Judges
Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.
The gentleman who wrote the hatehigeR-
Ger a week ago that the Democrats OF
Braxton condemned the Presidents Mes
sage, had no regard whatever for the truth.
We have never heard any Democrat speak
but very complimentary Of the message,
most of them saying that was lust what
they thought, but couldn't fix it up
right" The Message will not lose Cleve-
q single vote in BraXtOn. -BrartOR Democrat.
We recently heard of two politicians
~canvassing Marshall county in company,
one of whom carried a bottle OF whiskey
and the other q temperance pledge. II a
voter wouldn't drink with the one the
other secured his signature TO the temper
ance pledge. 1t is needless to remark that
this double combination carried the coun-
ty.-UOURdSriHe Sun.
How would James 4. Menager, Of
Mason county, do for GoyernOr?-Ldus-
trial World.
Why first rate. 1t is Just what we have
been saying down here all along and there
will be q mighty hustling for him all over
The State. Give US Menager.-R. Pleasant
Gazette.
The Romney hteligeRcsr hiss the name
OF u esteemed States Attorney, Hon. G.
Wood Daily at the head of its columns for
Governor. We would be glad TO see Mr.
Daley get the nomination, ~ no better
man than he could be found to preside as
the chief executive Of the State. -keySer
