some interesting Chat About What Is
Going ON.

Going On.
State politics and State politicians
are vieing with the weather in the mat
ter of warming up, and it looks ASH the
candidates, and particularly the Demo
cratic candidates, and their friends,
eau give points to the current dog-days
in the way of raising the mercury In the
thermometer.
Just at present the town is full OF
prominent Democrats from abroad,
which reminds the reporter to remark
that Wheeling was always the popular
place for the representatives OF both
the great parties to meet and hold their
counsels. Whether it Is because OF the
loneliness of this good old Ohio river
town, its health-giving qualities, the
picturesque scenery, or the hospitality
of the people, or all COM
bined, is unknown. Certain 1t
is, however, that the town has
the reputation of being very healthy
place for the politicians to meet; the
fact that the heads Of the State Execu-
tive Committees of the two parties have
their headquarters here, may also have
something to do with 1t.
Just now the representative OF the
REGISTER notices like" Johnson, OF
Barbour, and Hon. r. +. Kidd, and
Sheriff McQuain, of Gilmer, are roast
ing the soles OF their feet on the side
walks. Mr.. johnson is most genial
gentleman, and delights to tell good
story, or have a chat with the boys.
While he Is a prominent candidate for the
Authorship. he says he is not here to
NEEDLE in Ohio county politics. Hon.
r. F. Kidd is prominent candidate for
the Attorney-Generalship, and has the
reputation of not only being one OF the
smartest lawyers in the State, but one
of the handsomeSt men as well. He is
feeling the pulse of the Ohio county
delegation to the State Convention, and
reports its condition very healthy.
Senator Eastman is still here. He
says it is so very pleasant that he can
hardly tear himself away. 1t is report
ed that Cam" Sommers, another can
didate for Auditor, has beard OF the big
attractions in the Panhandle, and is
on his way double-quick.
POLITICAL NOTES.
Hon. Robert G. Lynn, one OF the
leading lawyers Of Gilmer and Calhoun,
is here attending the session Of the
Supreme Court.
Hon. Robert Kidd left for his home
in Gilmer yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Kidd, although candidate for Attor-

political mission, but on business before
the Supreme Court.
Captain Robert Browse, of Peasants,
is in the city. Captain Browse reports
that there is not Farmers Alliance
lodge or society in Peasants county.
Peasants is probably one out Of about
ten counties in the State where the or
ganization does not exist.
Senator Eastman returned Yesterday
evening from short visit to Brooke
and Hancock counties, where he says
he met much encouragement. The Sen

erland friends assured him he would
get fair vote out of each county.
Senator Eastman left for Parkersburg
yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
w. A. Stricken, Esq, of Richie
county, who has been in the city for
several days on private business, re-
ports that the Republican stronghold
(Ritchie) is not "biling" over with en-
thusiasm for the Minneapolis nominee.
In fact the impression Democrats now
have of affairs in Richie are very IA
vorable to possible Democratic success
next fall.
