WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.

Notes About Parties and Men Cleaned
From all Over the State,
Hons. James Morrow and John W. Har.
ris seem 10 be men most favored by the
people for Governor. Either would poll
the full labor As the Democratic vote. The
CRY of monopoly could not be urged against
either. Their tariff views are IN accord
with the principles of the great Democratic
party. They are honest and hrsiny men
and either would make q brilliant cam
paign.-IWeker Democrat
State Superintendent Morgan is q csudi-
date for reelection. We believe he will
have no opposition 10 the Democratic Nom
mating Convention. He has made 40 IN
usually efficient officer, and his intelligent
and conscientious administration of the
educational interests OF the State not only
merits the hearty endorsement OF bis party
but the warm approval, also, of ali friends
of public educatiou.-Nc1C DoiniRioa.

The Democracy of Wood, Writ and
Peasants counties will soon be called
upou to name a successor to Judge j. Nj.
Jackson. We would respectfully suggest
the accomplished jurist, the ripe scholar
and chiyalrous gentleman, the Hon. J. g:
McCluer, OF Parkersburg, who would
faithfully and fearlessly discharge the
exsctipg duties of the exalted trust, and
worthily wear the ermine, soon to be Iaid
aside without a smirch or stain upon It's
folds by the present distinguished lncum-
bent.-GraftOR Times.

Duffy for reelection as Auditor. Col,
Duffy has unquestionably proven the most
efficient and capable gentleman who mas

position. We do not think for moment
that it will refuse to do so.-KaRdrha Ga
