The Democratic candidate for the
office of Supreme Judge, Daniel
BedInger Lucas, is one of the ablest
lawyers of the State and ranks high
as a scholar. lie is far superior to
the very ordinary attorney who is
running against him and will make
very valuable member of the high
est tribunal we have. lie has al
ready had considerable experience
on the bench and his eminent legal
knowledge will make him the peer
of any jurist on the bench.

Farmers Of Preston, il you want
approximation in our Legislative
body, vote for Camp, Martin and
Huddleson-all practical farmers
who earn their bread by the sweat
Of their brow. Capt. Dave Camp,
of Arnettsville, Monongalia county.
our candidate for the State Senate,
will make an excellent legislator if
elected, and should receive the vote
Of every Democratic and indepen-
dent Republican in the two coun-
ties. The only thing the Republi-
can papers have been able to rake
mp against him is, that he was in
the rebel army, etc.

TWO OF A KIND.

just now the Republicans are up
to every scheme to beat William L..
Wilson. Stump speakers are can
vassing the districts in every direc-
tior. Federal Office holders with
pockets loaded with Doodle and fat
fried from bloated monopolists who
paid for the passage of the McKin-
ley bill in good round sums are
travelling through the State and
beating up the bushes for doubtful
voters and the floating population
and buying them with the cold hard
cash in spite of all the stringent
laws recently enacted to prevent
this. The edict has gone forth
that Wilson must be beaten at all
hazards as he is too able man for
the brigetest stars in the Rcpubli-
can armament to cope with as even
Old Tom Reed himself found out
when Wilson bearded him i'm his
den and snatched him as bald head
ed as the American eagle. One of
these rascals who is now in this
district up to some devilment
against Wilson, is Sam Hooten one
OF the bitterest partisans to be found
anywhere and who was allowed to
remain in office under the Federal
Government all through Clevelands
administration and who is now
Post Office Inspector and located in
the South and has no business IN
here at all, bu. lets on to be sent
through here on tour of inspection
when it is really to distribute the
Doodle sent in here by the Repub-
lican managers. Democrats keep
your eyes on him and spot him for
the future. Another one horse
politician who is sucking gov
eminent pap and doing dirty
work for the G. o. p. (gone old
partly is l.. G. Baker of Indepcn-
dence who now has a little whiskey
lnspectorship down in the eastern
panhandle. In a letter written to
certain party whoshall be nameless
he talks about the great number of
Democrats he is buying up for Har-
man and claims flat Hampshire
county will give 200 Republican
majority this fall and that Preston
majority will be two thousand and
that he has money to bet on it.
Will Mr.. Baker please come to King
wood at once and bring this money
with him?

Ncw Era Of Aug. %.
When the fresh young politicians
who run the New Err of old second
hand Republican politics wrote the
above honest confession of their
opinion of Rev. GARNER" George
llarman, just before the Piedmont
Convention, they expected that
Dayton would be the nominee, but
man proposes and woman and the
devil disposes, and SO the Eru is
now in a very small hole and trying
to pull the hole in after it. 1t is
truly said that "An awkward friend
is worse than q malicious enemy"
and Rev. Hartman is probably con-
WINGED Of this by this time. The
Editors Of the Era, have now to eat
some very unsavory crow, but it will
be lesson to them to never tell the
truth or give an honest expression
Of opinion while engaged in Repub-

THE COUNTY cLERKsHsp.

We desire to call attention to the
announcement in this issue of
Squire Dave G.. Zinn, for the office
of Clerk of the County Court.
Mr.. linn is an Independent candi-
date for the Office and will use every
honest endeavor to be elected. lie
is we'll known to the people of Pres
ton and particularly the west side.
lie has served in the capacity of
Justice of the Peace and President
of the Board Of Education of Val
ley district, for n number of years
and has been reelected time and
again against his earnest protest
He is one Of Preston's most pros
porous farmers and is man of in
tegrity and ability and we'll quail
fed for the office. Mr.. Zinn only
decided to become candidate after
mature delibeIation at the urgent
solicitation of a number of friends,
both Democrats and Republicans,
from all parts of the county, and as
there is big movement in opposi-
ton to the Ring candidate, look out
for something to drop before long.

HOW Is THIS!

The papers of this district have
all been publishing the recent APP
preparation of Congress for the inn
provement of Cheat river and have
commented fayorably upon it, and
told OF the benefits to be derived
thcrefrom, but not a single Republic
can paper, so far as we know, have
given credit for this where it was
due. They have failed to tell the
people that William l.. Wilson had
this survey made and procured this
appropriation. Some of them 90 SO
far MS to claim that Mr.. Wilson vo-
ted against it, and this lie is now
being repeated by prominent Re-
publicans OF this town, who ought
to know better. We have it from
Mr.. Wilson in his own handwriting
that he had this survey made and
procured this appropriation, as of
course he only could, being the
representative from this district.
The value of this river improve
ment is incalculable to the land
owners of Preston, and particularly
those living along the river Cheat,
and now that an opening has been
made and Mr.. Wilson has taken IN
the matter, he will if reelected
push 1T to n successful issue and
secure additional appropriations,
still the Republican papers have the
audacity to publish this work of
Mr.. Wilson's and in the same issue
want to know "What has Mr.. Will
son done ?" Is this fair? Is it
honest? There are men in this
county who had tried for years to
secure pension and failed until
Dir. Wilson took up their claim and
had it allowed, and they were not
all Democrats either.
There are Republicans in this
county, and we can give names, who
will vote for Mr.. Wilson, because
they say frankly and honestly that
he is the ablest representative we
have ever had in Congress and that
1T would be a national misfortune
to remove him. Contrast Mr.. Will
son with Rev. Hartman, and We will
leave it to the common sense and
intelligence of any right thinking
man if there is not gap too wide
to be bridged over by the most iron
bound prejudice in favor of Harman.
