While at the Parkersburg convention we
met many warm and enthusiastic friends
of Hon. II. r. Howard for Governor, and
after the nomination of Judge Jackson, 1t
was generally conceded that MIR. Howard,
he being the only candidate in the Fourth
district, should have and WAS entitled to
the unanimous vote of the district for the
nomination for Governor. Should tins be
done it would 90 long ways towards pro-
duciug harmony and increasing the ma

oleOmargarine has become very large, and
this liz now one of the taxes that the Re
publican party proposes to abolish III order

Talking about fioppers, how does D. D.

for many years one of the principal Repub-
licans in the State, but has at last exper-
fenced conviction Of the truth and virtue
of Democratic ways, and the dark and
