Bright and Newsy Notes From Our State

the interests OF any Inau VI haSivh.
resolutions to instruct the COMPRESSION De
lIegstes for G. Fl. Scott were adopted with
out dissension. Mr.. Scott's chances are,
we believe, daily growing better. Inc
fact that the nomination should come
west of the mountains this fall is becom'
ing generally recognized and Mr.. Scott nas
undoubtedly the strongest following ID
this part Of the trict.-RdRdolph Enter
prise.
The Republican Senate will not allow
West Virginia any larger share OF the ap
preparations that can be helped. The Item
in the appropriation bill providing for the
purchase of lock No. was stricken out
by the Senate on Mondsy.-Ne'0 Dominion.
We have waited patiently for that gen.
tleman who occupies the seat In congress
assigned to the First district OF this State,
and who exposes such a vast expsnse Of
shirt front and poses 30 gracefully Tor the
admiration of the gallery gods, to literally
wipe mp the floor with Billy Wilson on
the tariff question, but up to this date ne
has not been heard from.-Fdirmont lndef
81 will beat him or give the county over
to the Democrats next fall, " was the Ian
qu,ge of one of the bosses when talking
about the imported candidate for the office
of State Senator. --West Virginia argus.
Our friend James A. Brown is making a
determined effort TO capture the Preston
delegation to the convention that nomi-
mates the judicial ticket, and we believe
he will be successful in spite of the efforts
of the bosses TO defeat him. --Wtst Virginia
argus.
The Republicans Of this, the Fourth Ju-
dicial District, are well aware that we
have very small msjority, and that q
change of Go votes will elect q Democrat;
therefore it stands us in hand to NJ inmate
a man that we are confident can control
that vote. While we ara not Of the opin-
ion that T. p. Jacobs or Mr.. Davis can, we
are confident that p. w. Morris, OF the
Richie Gazette, can do that, and even
more; therefore, we deem it political
necessity to nominate Mr.. Morris. We
can say, concerning Mr.. Morris, what we
will not attempt to say concerning the
other two gentlemen, that if he receives
the nomination, he will be elected by a
larger majority than was ever polled by the
Republican party in this Judicial District
before. y ctzl Republican,.
A. w. Campbell, of the Wheeling Intel.
Rgencer, is just now receiving handsome
boom for Governor. The Republicans have
plenty of good timber for this position this
year-RdrsnSipOO Neps.
And none better than Mr.. Campbell, the
Posts candidate for Governor, and we be-
lieve he has the call for the nomination.
He is able, clean-handed, honest, digni6ed
and manly, and would give West Virginia
o brilliant Republican administration
MorgdRtOIrR Post
The name of Hon. VIM. II. Travers, of
this county, is being mentioned more and
more frequently in connection with the
GovernOrship. Mr.. Travers would honor
the position and be a Governor Of whom
West Virginia would always be proud
hepkerdStOpn Register.
Judge John j. Jackson, of the United
States Court for the district of West Vir-
GINA, is receiving quite boom throughout
this State as popular candidate for the
Vice Presidency. The Democrats Of the
Third Congressional District passed reso-
luton unanimously endorsing the Judge
rs representative West Yirginian, and
recommending him as fit candidate for
that poeition.-POim Pleasant Register.
In another column appears communi-
cation putting forth Mr.. Holly G. Arm
strong for Auditor. We are not person.
ally acquainted with Mr.. Armstrong, but
we notice many of our exchanges speak of
him in very high terms.-MOOrefeld Erdm
iRcr.
Speaker of the House, J. NJ. Rowan, has
decided to be a.candidate for State Treas
urer. Col. Rowan is Democrat, and will
abide by the decision of the State Conven-
tion.-KaRarhd Democrat.
The Moundsville Sun comments as fol-
lows on the suggestion Of Judge Jacobs
name for Congress: While we would re-
greet to have the honorable gentleman retire
from the bench, yet if he would consent,
we are unanimous, and the candidacy will
sweep ont the last vestige Of hope from our
opponents.
Randolph county Democrats have in
structed for Scott for Congress, and we
expect to hear his name placed before the
convention with blast of mountain orato-
~ that will exceed in eloquence Scott's
own best performances.-FdirmOm Inder.
Some Republicans seem to think Mason's
place on the Republican National Com
mittee from this State is little shaky.
0le thing is certain, the delegates from
Mason's own section will not grow red in
the face from their efforts in advocating
Mason's claims.-FdHmon Inder.
Who will the Democrats nominate in
this Senatorial district for Senator? We
believe that if the Democrats make good
selection that there will be no question but
that he will he elected. We are of the
opinion that the voters of this district have
had enough Of Republican State Senators
legislation. If such q Democrat as An
drew Edminston, A. A. Lewis, W. G.
Bennett, H. NJ. Dent, or Ruben Davisson
would receive the nomination either would
be easily elected,-Iaeker Democrat.
General Golf has made public announce
ment that he will 70 into the coming CAM
paign to carry the legislature, with the Ill
innate purpose of succeeding Mr.. Kenna
in the United States Senate. The little
General has mapped ont good sized job
for himself, but it Is kind in him to give
the Democrats warning that he is going to
tear them up.-MrtiRsburg Statesman.
The enthusiasm of the Republicans of
this State is cooling of to an alarming
degree, and the brethren are beginning to
modify pretty nearly everything they say.
They started off with their hurrah too
soon.-Shepherdstolcn Register.
Hon. John W. Harris, of Greenbrier, or
the Hon. James Morrow, of Marion, will
be the Democratic nominee for Governor.
Either will poll the entire Democratic
vote and be elected by 5000 majority
Tucker Democrat.
Hon. Geo. W. Atkinson has consented
to be candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for Congress in the First Congress
sional District. A better Republican and
sounder protectionist does not live in West
Virginia, and if nominated and elected the
Republicans of the First district will be
ably represented. Phiippi Republican.
