CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. l2,--Thc
year Of 1892 will DO memorable one
in the political history Of this country,
and while it is possible that it may be
moro warmly conducted and interesting
in two or three states than in West Vir-
ginia, as perchance moro important
matters and measures may hinge upon
their decision, yet it will BIO rare, rich
and racy in this young state. Tho Dem.
ocrats haven't such grip Of the Rus
sian model as they, or some OF them,
may imagine. II the Republicans or

ticket II 1t is Of tho right material. The
Z Democratic fold OF this state has not
reached that utate OF peace, good will
and serenity described by the prophe.
Isaiah. The sheep will not lie down
with the wolf nor the lamb with tho
/ lion, neither will the weaned child play
4 with the cockatrice in this same Demo-
cratic sheep-wolf fold.
THERE Is NO PEACE.
There is to-day more real bitterness,
enmity and revenge among certain
leading Democratic elements than ever
before. Kenna and his cohorts have
it laid up for the Camden crowd.
When the memorable fight was being
waged against Camden in the legisla-
ture, Kennacame on TO assist his col
league. He staid long enough to set up
some Camden pigeon.stools, exhort the
faithful around the highly polished
counters behind the green screens, and
stimulate Camden men both inside and
out; write an editorial for the then
Democratic Star newspaper. setting
forth his ideas Of the "duty OF the hour"
to the celebrated kicking eleven, when
tho aforesaid kicking eleven informed
him that unless he made tracks TO the
high places of Washington he might
also be kicked out two years thence. He
made tracks. And Camden, ct. ais,
have been on those same tracks with
+ the logged determination, for revenge
for desertion, OF blood hounds. Camden
had stood manfully by Kenna when the
latter had deserted the people and gone
over to the monopolistic element that
dominated the West Virginia Democrat
ic legislative majority, in order to get
into the United States senate.
KENsA's ISGRATITUDE.
Camden's friendship was rewarded
by Kenna's selfish .cowardice. Kenna
is the most selfish politician in the
state, and the rank and file of the
Democracy is catching on to that fact.
Hewill be burden to them in the
coming campaign. But digress.
Camden won first blood when he
knocked out Kenna's inflated putty
man lieutenant, w. E. Chiffon, by
having Fleming appoint W. A. Ohley as
secretary OF state. He likewise downed
the Kenna element in all the COVER
: nor's appointments.
A vast majority Of the Democrats
who endorsed the Camden kickers are
now for Camden to succeed Faulkner,
and damning Kenna, not with faint
praise, but with big D's.
CAMDEN VS.. KgNNA.
The fight this year in the Democratic
party will be Camden vs. Kenna and

- The race for governor grows more in
teresting with every day. Colonel Mac
: Corklc is grooming himself for the race,
Z but is trying to gain the sunshine OF
Kenna's friends, as he possesses that
OF Camden's. This effort will likely be
n failure, as General Watts is being
groomed by Kenna. Kanawha, the hot
Z bed OF all that the modern word politics
can. convey, has another candidate in
the person OF C.tP. Snyder. As soon as
Colonel Mace orkle had SHE'D his cas-
tor in the ring, someone cast a shyster,

that he has any chance OF success, and
he knows it. He has drawn his life's

There was no such good luck for tho
people as his invocation set forth.
The rarty's voters arc tired OF sup
porting him, and he cannot cot it
through his head that he is not entitled
to q life term of office for party that
he has never been either u useful
or IN ornamental member OF. He goes
into the fight to defeat MacCorkle. To

Z make sure that Kanawha will split on

There is more of tho same kind OF fun
in other parts Of the state and for other
candidates.

Camden is candidate for the United
States senate, and will have to fight
combined Kenna and Faulkner. twill
be a glorious old Kilkenny affair to
n elect, not Democrats, but personal par
