UNDER A MISTAKE.
The Register Has Not Conspired to Defeat
Any Democrat.

Any Democrat.
POINT PLEASANT, W. VA, May &c.
To the Et:or Of tie Register:
1t is the belief of our Democrats down
this way that the REGISTER is conspirinG
with others to defelt the denomination Of
Mr.. Hogy for a second term in Congress,
and naturally there is good deal of com
plant among Democrats at the course o.
the REGISTER in publishing every extract
from exchanges and from Washington that
are uniavorabls TO Mr.. Hogg, while il
studiOusly avoids publishing any of the
complimentary notices about him.
There is nothing in the Gibson or the
Jackson boom. Mr.. Gibson, no doubt,
would like to run for Congress again, but il
is doubtful if he can command any consid-
cradle showing of strength in convention
against Mr.. Hogg. Down in his own end
of the State Mr. Hogg will have good
showing in the Parkersburg convention,
aud from there he will receive more votes
than will Mr.. Gibson.
Here in Mason he will have the solid
delegation, as will he also have Jackson,
Roans, Calhoun, and the most of Writ, If
not all. He will have q good vote in
Wood land if Mr. Jackson is not a candi-
date, he will get all Of Wood, will have
the most Of Peasants md fully two-thirds
Of Richie Up in Putnam they are trying
to turn the delegation in favor Of Gibson,
bat your correspondent has news from
there to-day that leads him TO believe that
there will be no serious opposition to Mr..
Hogg in Putnam.
As to Judge Jackson, have it from his
own lips that he will not be a candidate,
unless he sees that Mr.. Hogg is going 10
lose the nomination, and in that event he
will be candidate, and in that only. He
said he favored Mr.. Hogg's return for q
second term, and thought it was due him,
and that he had no desire or wish to oppose
him in convention.
A few newspapers, notably among them
the Parkersburg Sentinel, seems to have be-
come suddenly offended at Mr.. Hogg, and
are now trying to compass his defeat for
denomination.
The feelings Of the Democratic people
are for Mr.. Hogg's denomination for
second term, AZ he will be re-nominsted
and reelected despite these fault-fnders
and grumblers. Mr.. Hosg has made
splendid representative. He has been de-
voted to the interests Of his constituents,
and his constituents have confidence in
him.
The Democracy of the Fourth District
gave Mr.. Gibson two terms, and fixed up
on two terms as the rule, and to violate II
in the case of Mr.. Hogg would be an out
range and an injustice to that gentleman
that might be resented.
Our district is none too strong, and we
ought not to jeopardizs our Democratic
majority by violation of all precedents.
You can say to the Democracy OF the
State that they can count upon good ma,
iority in old Mason, and the election oil
two members to the House of Delegates,
who will vote for q Democratic United
States Senator. Respectfully,
DEMOCRAT.

All the wool markets lack activity anc
buoyancy. While the manufacturers an
taking stock from day to day to nee in the
production of goods under contract, the
amount called for is not considerable. Nc
purchases whatever are made for future
consumption, in view Of the new clip and
the uncertainties of legislation at Wash
ington.
The western producers of wool are as
usual holding their stocks several cents
above the views of buyers. The latter,
from all accounts, are more cautious tnan
for a number of years. In Texas repre-
sentatiyes of eastern houses are willing to
take the clip at about three cents under
asking quotations. The Texas output this
year Is comparatively free from dirt, but
will shrink heavily. The California clip is
in good condition, but not 30 bright as last
year. The season is late.
The foreign markets continue active
and firm. 1t is thought that spectators
are operating extensively, having in mind
the probability of an advance in case the
American duties are taken off. Current
quotations are as follows, in comparison
with last year and the year before:
