Mr.. Editor: 1 note with pleasure
the reference the Wheeling Reoistey
makes of Hon. B. d. Gibson, of JEFF
ferson. He is a young man of great
worth to our people and above all
things they should return him to the
Legislature. Few young men COM
mand the high respect that he has in
so short a time. ! also see the same
old disposition cropping out to name
one of the schemers pets for the
State Senate. berkeley County Mar
ttns6urg) has a peculiar facility of
naming State Senators, &C., &c. I
would suggest that the good people
of Jefferson should at least bescon-
suited, as they do the efeetiag Of both
Senators and Judges. Berkeley has
some splendid material born and
raised in good old Berkeley. d. C..
Westenhaver would be a credit to
the district-and no jobber 6y ana
means. Let as have this business
stopped and select such men as
above, and we will have less dissen-
ton in the party, besides you will
have representatives able to take care
of the interests OF our people. Ihad
the pleasure of being a locker on at
the State Capital last winter and it
was with a great deal Of pride that I
saw the force and influence of our
young friend Gibson, and couId4he
have such help as Westenhayer in
the Senate, old Jefferson would be
well cared for. DEMocRAT.

The ''disgruntled office seekers, are

for the offices, and they bri6ed and
schemed and lied for them and it is
not strange that they now feel disap-
