STATE POLITICAL NOTES.
Tho Spirit ottho West virginia Press Re-
flseted,
We wish every self.respecting. law
abiding, voter would compare the rec
oris OF the two gubernatorial candi-
dates. Hon. T. 3. Davis, the Republi-
can candidate, ia and always has been,
a high-toned, honorable gentleman. He
was a brave soldier in the war, and has
always been a peaceable, gentlemanly
man, an active business man, setting IN
all respects such an example as 1t would
be well for all young men to follow. His
competitor Mac orklel max es his first
public appearance asa bully, making q
personal attack upon man much
smaller and weaker than himself, but
keeping himself safely out OF sight when
he knows that the man he has so bru-
tally attacked had prepared himsel II for
self defense. His next performance was
to attack and brutally beat Republi-
can editor who had expressed some
what unfavorable opinion Of his COM
duct in defending the memory OF jeff
Davis. On another occasion he Is re-
ported 10 have struck down the mayor
OF Charleston, man much older than
himself Whathe may be at home and
on ordinary occasions we do not know.
These three are his public appearances.
Do they commend him 10 the voters OF
civilized state for the dignified and
important Office Of governor ?-Keyser
Echo.
Jacob S: Flyer, the Republican nomi-
nee for auditor, Is a plain, unassuming
business man, yet mis- strength in the
convention demonstrated him 10 be one
of the most popular men in West Vir-
ginia. This place was the one most
hotly contested for, and yet he won 1t
easily against able and prominent OPP
ponents. He started in life in Braxton
county with nothing but his native
strength, ability and industry, but by
his close attention to business and un-
swerying honesty he has succeeded SO
well that he now superintends q large
mercantile, farming and lumber busi-
ness. The successful manner in which
he has taken care OF his own business
iinterests Is the best guarantee in the
world that he will prove faithful
guardian Of the peoples money. -1he

The Democracy Of this senatorial dis
trict held their convention at Littl eton,
Wetzel comfy, on Tuesday, ana the
Hon. Charles 4. Wells. ofithis county,
was declared the nominee. Capt. w.
B. Sine, Of Warrington, was his COM
petitor. Mr.. Wells has been twice
elected TO the house Of delegates. He
has always been a Democratic wheel-
horse, but when last hefore the people
he did not get the full support OF his
party, having run behind hiH ticket,
and II he ID as unfortunate this fall, he
Is sure to be our meat. Indeed, We
think Mr.. Wells is beaten at the start.
But his defeat depends great deal
upon who Is nominated against him.
The Warrington convention can name
a man who could win easily. II dirnloJt

II is said by the Democrats that Mr..
Davis, our candidate for governor, is no
orator. Well, We admit that when is
comes to making q windy, bombastic
speech, full OF "hifalntin" and moon
shine, there are a score Of young fellows
in both parties who can beat him out
Of sight. But when no wslnts 10 make
people understand his Vows on any
public question and his reason for hold
ing those views, making a convincing,
sensible talk that will influence sensible
people, he can do himself aud his party
credit every time. No, he may he NO
orator, but he knows something, and
knows he knows II, and knows how he
knows 1t, and can mako people under
stand all about it, MoRntaii Echo
Il behooyes us as r nblicans, in West
Virginia, 70 work hard II we hope for
success. We must got out our full vote.
In Republican counties We must make
the majorlties as large as possible, and
in Democratic counties we must cut
down to the lowest possible notch. So,
no mattor whether we need every vote
IN q county TO elect thecounty officers,
nor whether tho Democratic majority
is 90 great that there Il no possible hope
Of electing q single county officer, vet 1t
Is Of tho greatest imp ortance that wo
cast every Republican vote in the state.
II 1--we do SO we will be victorious. - Tyler

Hon. Edward p. RuclSer Is making the
most vigorous aud effective campaign
that has over been made in the Third
district He's carrying tho truths Of
protection into every county and hia
eloqnonce and logic are awakening the
people to their interest. We predict
that the Third district will roll up such
q majority for Rucker md protection
that Johnny and his Jug win be set
adrift on salt river without so much as
an oarsnan. - BfdniSpsH Monitor.
The enthusiastic reception rendered
Hon. S. B. Elkins at the Huntington
convention portrayed the fact that his
efforts 10 advance tho industrial inter.
