So are all the other Republican papers
in she district, and The fact that the Re
publican papers are opposed to the Demo-
Gratis holding a judicial convention is one
Of the strongest ~easOrs why the Demo
Gratis should insist on holding one. The
Republicans are not likely to favor any
move that will tend to strengthen the
Democratic party. We are surprised, how
ever, to see "a few Democratic papers, so
called, so ready to assist the Republicans
in their efforts against Democratic OTgani-
Eatiou. The presumption Is, these Demo
cratic paper, are against q convention. Tor
revenue only Wayne NeWs.
We have it, on what we deem reliable
authority, that Governor Foreman will
consent to make the race for Judge in this
circuit, upOu certain conditions. We are
sure that We express the sentiment OF citi-
zaus Oh all parties when we say that this il
GOOD news. II Mr.. Foreman makes the
race, It will afford every voter the Oppor-
unity OF voting for an able, conscientious
aud upright man: one who would adOrn
the bench and he the rIrest of human OIL
G"ers-an impartial and Just Judge. No
one questions his ability or fairness. We
hail 1t ~ = GOOD omen when men OF such
character will consent to serve the public.

The Wayne .N,rs thinks that if the
Democrats come to Mason county for Il
candidate ion Governor they will nOmt-
nate Hon. Z. {. Eastman, and says not a
word about Tippett. But perhaps he had
not heard about him. Next to Tlppett
Mr.. Eastman is the best man the Demo
Gratis could nominate. Honorable and
straightforward in all business matters, it
would give us great pleasure to support
Mr. Eastman, but he is on the wrong side
ol politics to ever be Governor OF West
Virginia now. The next Governor will
doubtless he q Republican II the pcopl"

We have received numerous letters from
political friends in Cahell and Wayne, ask
ing what the attitude OF the citizen would
/ he in regard 10 holding conventions. To
all. We refer TO our editorial in this issue.
The citizen occupies no uncertain ground,
aud in view OF its past record we are sur
pUi>ed that some OF our friends should
question its sincerity. The citizen Is Dem
Ocratir clear through, in favor Of o~rgani2a-
ton. conventions aud all good Democratic
methods, and will battle bravely for the
party in the coming contest. Is this sutli-
cient?-LiuroM Citjs,R.
