Special Correspondence Of The Intatigcncer.
HUNTINGTON, August l9.-Long, deep
and loud is the angry roar that goes up
among the faithful Of this district over
the nomination OF Lucas King of
the Kickers. Despite all that has been
said and done the old factions OF De-
mocracy are rs active and as bitter to.
day as ever they were. Notwithstanding
the TACT that it has been promulgated
that Camdenism was eliminated from
West Virginia politics, look at the situa.
ton and see. Flemin, was a Camden
candidate and his appointees, Secretary
OF State Ohley, Librarian 0xley, Super
intendent OF the Penitentiary Van Pelt
and the members Of the various boards,
are all Of them old Camden workers,
The kickers did not receive even a
co!onelcy under this administration.
And in face OF the fact that the Re.
publicans will control the next Lceisla.
ture, Fleming and his cohorts arc work.
iEg now IN every county to! secure
candidates for the Legislature oil both
Houses favorable to Camden. Poor old
broken down Democracy, with only &
precarlous hold on supremacy, is still
indulging in personal politics.
A DOSE or INVERTED GOLDEN EuLE.
Scores Of Democrats openly announce
their intention to give Lucas royal
dose Of his own physic, and a mighty
little dose Of physic is all that is neces.
sary to clean out the dying Democracy
Of this State. The feeling prevails
among the majority Of the party Of this
district that inasmuch as Lucas was
willing to sacrifice party organization
and party tenets in order to be n short
term Senator, that no combination OF
circumstances can make them forget to
administer to the pharisee dose Of in
yerted golden rule. Another week will
wind up the Congressional struggle
among the Democrats OF the Fourth dis
trict, and the situation is practically un.
changed. Farmer Capehart has soved
his influence" drilled in his forces and
is still cutting the widest swathe and il
his wind and his Influence" holds out
he will reap the straw harvest where he
sowed his golden grim, and get 1t In a
good condition for the Republican
threshiug machine that will ''sei" on his
premises in November. 51@
JUDGE IAcEsoN's CASE,
Very little has been said about OF udce
Mum Jackson, that snowy.bearded man
OF the old school Of honor, who persuaded
Governor Wilson that tho proper thing
to do was TO make twelve out Of "twe,h
Of add ten to two, that he might net his
seat in Congress and one year's salary to
help deiray his campaign expenses be.
fore he had retired to the practice Of law,
where the Democrats said by their votes
he should bs. At first Judge jackson
did not intend to contest Smith's elcc.
ton, He honestly conceded it, and
cursed Hcgg's partisan friends for his
defeat. But the idea struck him that as
he had spent over s., 900 in the campaign,
he might get back his money even at
the sacrifice Of selt.respcct. He journey.

He got in Congress for a time, drew q
years pay, and was kicked out, to return
home 10 nlsy the rolo Of martyr to Re-
publican partisanism. Hut The martyr
racket failed to hook on. Wise by e3
perience, Judge Jackson has kept his
mouth shut, but be is a candidate, with
the same consuming desire to go to Con
gress and hold office. That is heredi
tary desire Of his family, and his friends
