John w. English. ESQ.

The nomination of John w. En-
glish for Judge of the Court of APP
peals was one of the best that could
have been made. The Convention
would have made great mistake if
the Fourth District had failed to
receive the recognition it was en-
titled to. For the convenience of
the public it is but proper that the
Judges should be selected with an
eye to location. The friends and
neighbors of Mr.. English are greatly
elated over his success, knowing
that ne will, if elected, fill the posi-
ton with dignity and ability. Be-
sides, the honor was richly merited,
as a reward f r years of uaremit,ing
attention to his profession. During
his long residence in Point Pleasant
he has built up a lucrative practice
in this and adjacent counties, and
in all that time has born the repu-
tation of gentleman of the highest
character. AS a lawyer probably
the most salient feature of the man
is his pains-taking disposition, which
is an essential requisite in Judge.
He has held for years a leading
position at the bar, and is success
full practitioner in the Court of APP
peals. He is a native of jackson
county, this State, and is about 55
years of age. When a mere boy his
father settled in Kanawha county,
consequently his early education
was received in that county. After
having acquired the benefits of a
collegiate education his first bust
ness venture was to engage in the
manufacture of salt in the Kanawha
V alley, and during that time he
st udied law by the light of his fur
ace, receiving occasional instruc-
ton from Judges Summers and
Warth, and the Hon. Chas Hedrick.
Finding law more congenial than
salt-making he came to Mason coun-
ty to commence practice bringing
a license as an attorney bearing the
signatures of Judges Summers, Ed
mi nstOn and Bailey. From that day
to this his whole life has been that
of a thoro ughly systematic business
man. In politics, he has never
been an office-holder, or an Office
seeker, but at all times a true and
consistent Democrat without varia-
bleness, or shadow of turning.

The fiarors of the fight are with
the Democracy, but that is no ex-
cuse for not fighting every inch
of the ground whether your State is
considered doubtful or not. This
applies especially to West Virginia
Democrats.

CHICAGo's CONVENTION.
The Allotment of the Tickets of Ad-
mission to the Hall.

mission to the Hall.
CHICAGO, May 2l.-The subcommittee
of the National Republican Committee has
been in session in Chicago for two days, ar
ranging the details of the convention and
deciding upon the distribution of tickets and
the allotment of seats to the press. and
other matters of detail. The seating ca
pacity is 1000, thus necessitating a smaller
apportionment of seats than heretofore.
The committee decided to give to each dele
gate three general tickets for distribution
and one press ticket to each delegate, thus
enabling delegates to take care of the local
press in their district and State.
THE WORKING SEATS.
One hundred and forty-seven working
seats at tables are provided for such of the
larger daily newspapers as will make up
and send out from the hail special tele-
graphic reports to supplement- the verbatim
report of the Associated Press. No other
papers excepting those sending out such
special reports can be given representation
at these tables. In the 147 seats are IN
cluded the seats required by the Associated
Press and official stenographers.
THE LOCAL PRESS.
The local press committee a as directed to
carry out these provisions, and also notified
tnat the largest number or working tickets
or seats given to any paper should be three
The greater portion of the daily papers
taking reports will have but one
seat. Alternate delegates will have
no tickets except their one
or none for distribution. 1t has been the
usual custom to give to the city where the
National Convention is held 15 per cent of
the tickets. The committee has reduced
this for this convention to 10 per cent The
remaining tickets will be divided between
the press, members of Congress, Governors
of States, and other distinguished guests.
