A CORRESPONDENT in another column
suggests that as the time is near at hand
when our party will meet in convention to
nominate State ticket ii would be well
to look over the field and pick out our
strongest and best men," There is cer-
tainly no lack of the best possible timber
in the Democratic party of West Virginia
and in fact il would be hard for an ordi-
narily intelligent convention 70 go astray
in selecting from the list already presented.
But We want to enter the coming campaign
with the very pink Of our perfection at the
head of the ticket men who will command
the enthusiastic support Of tue party in
every section of the State. Such candi-
date oar correspondent above quoted,
thinks be has found in the person Of that
finished orator, Col. WIN. II. TRAyERs, Of
JrfTzrson. Col. TRAvERs would make a
brilliant campaign, a strong candidate and
an excellent Governor. So far so good.
Now, gentlemen, waltz out your favorites
and let the party eye them over. Bring
forward your very best material.

The throwing up by the prosecution Of
the cases of COUGHIIN and ROBINSON, the
alleged Ravenns rescueTs, who were con-
victed on their first trial, is q forcible
illustration Of the fact that hastily formed
public sentiment, or prejudice, may do
irreyOcable harm to the cause of justice.
COUGHLIN and ROBINSON by the mere
force Of this blind prejudice were convicted
and sentenced to hang, with practically
no evidence against them. Suppose the
Judge had not decided TO override the
verdict of the jury, which judges are gen.
orally adverse to doing. Two men who
were innocent of the crime charged, at
least before the law, wOuld have been
hung and law and equity set al naught
because public prejudice demanded q con-
viction. Ga the second trial OF these men
the prosecution, not being backed by this
powerful ally, was forced to throw up the
cases from sheer lack of any evidence on
which 10 continue them. There seems 10
he no manner in which to overcome this
difficulty in the way of arriving ut Just
verdicls in q certain class Of criminal cases
usder present regulations, but Il would be
a step in that direction if judges were 10
especially instruct juries A. to their duties
aud warn them to not overstep them.

Gas viewed ut present, l do. l think
the rank and file of the Democratic party
in our State are in very good condition,
and have certainly lost nothing of heart or
hope, and could only be defeated by dis
cord in our ranks and in our councils,
which is not now to be anticipated, and
certainly, if likely 10 occur, should be
avoided by every means in our power.
Aside from such local questions az always
enter more or less into contests, think
the paramount issue of the campaign will
be the subject of revenue reform in cOnnet-
ton with the administration Of President
Cleveland. These, think, will form the
chief topics of discussion"

candidate. He is an eloquent speaker and
an elegant gentleman. With Col. Travers
selected as our standard-bearer the election

SIT per ton tariff $5O0,0OO, per annum,
over and above the legitimate profit to
which his capital invested in that line is
entitled, says, yes, reduction OF tho tariff
does increase imports and he has attempted
TO prove il in a recent newspaper article in
which he undertakes to join battle with
Mr.. CLEVELAND and criticises the Presi,
dents tariff message in the following man

1.-The President proposes to avoid 3 sRr
Mus by reducing the duties upon imports,
a policy which is sure to increase it.
He says substantially that great care must
he taken not to ipiure the manufactures OF
the country. A reduction must be made,
but it must be such rs manufacturers can
stand.
He desires no sudden shock to the present
system, but soberly, judiciOusly to bring
it nearer and nearer to new conditions
which he thinks would be more beneficial
20 the country.
"Well, let us see: Ten per cent. reduc-
ton upon anything at one step is pretty
atrong pull. A reduction in the Presi-
dents vote of fraction of one per cent.
might have rendered this article unneces-
sary. But suppose that reduction of du-
ties of 10 per cent. were decided upon,
how would this reduction affect
the surplus? In 1856 we collected from
imports SiSS, OOO, 900, but SIS. 900, 600 of
