Webster EchO.-The latest addition we
have heard TO the list of candidates for
the State Senate In this district is II. A.
Rebrook, Of Lewis county. Lewis has
two other candidates who are also good
men, i'm the persons of A. A. Lewis and
w. w. Brannon. C. II. Scott, of Ran
dolpb, completes the list, so far as we
have learned. Mr.. Scott recently re-
ceived the instructions Of his county.
This is one of the most important mat
tiers with which our county has TO deal,
and we trust the delegates will look be-
fore they leap.
BUckhQppOR DiSpdtcl-We are graft
fed to observe that Col. K. w. Monroe,
OF KinSwOOd, is receiving very sub
Stantial boom for the Democratic nOmi-
nation for Judge OF the Supreme Court.
The party might do we'll 10 select him
as its candidate. IN him are combined
the qualifications Of an excellent man
and worthy lawyer. He would doubt
less add strength 10 the ticket.
M0rgGut0tW NClC DOminiOn-Judge
MoreIand, of M0rgautOwn, is being IA
vorably mentioned in many places as
candidate for the Supreme JudgeShip
TO succeed Judge Lucas. He is Il
learned gentleman, thoroughly qualified
TO an the position, and the Democratic
convention might 60 further and 60
worse than 70 nominate him.
Park. fSburJ JOJuUGI-A well-iniorm-
ed Democrat says that, judging from

For John Corcoran.
To tho Editor Of the Register:

To the Editor Of the RfgtStsr:
SIR:-The Democratic party is to select
its candidate for the office OF Sheriff TO-
dav For and in behalf OF very large
number of earnest friends-I had almost
said in behalf Of the whole party-and az
their request, it has been deemed not I'M
proper TO say a word in behald OF one OF
the four candidates. They are all gentle
men of such reputation that any Democrat
can feel pleasure in supporting either OF
them at the November election,
Ofthese candidates Hon. John Corcoran
is the one who, for the past several years,
has been, to his party in this county,
the "pillar of fire by night and OF
smoke by day. to help it TO success.
Against his own wish, and against what
he believed to be his personal interests, at
the urgent solicitation of the most intiuen-
tial men of mis- party, he was twice a can
didate for the Legislature, and was each
time elected by a larger majority OF the
voters Of this county than any Of his col
leagues on the ticket. How he has &C
Quilted himself as a legislator is matter
of public knowledge. No word but OF
praise has ever been publicly uttered OF
him in his conduct in that most responsible
position. His constituents know how faith
fully, earnestly and ably he performed MS
duties there.
John Corcoran, though but an artizan
in one of our factories, and familiar with
humble life and hard continuous work, has
shown himself, in this community, to be a
man of much more than ordinary ability.
The honest workingmen of this county can
make no mistake in supporting brother
workman, whose life, integrity and ability
have been and are credit to himself and
to them He grew up from young boyhood
in a glass factory, and always has beena and
is still trusted and respected by everyone
his employers as well as his co-laoorers.
His reputation as man, citizen and pub
lie Official has never been stained by any
breath of criticism. He does not appear TO
have an enemy politically, socially or in
any way. If any man deserves from the
people Of this county, and especially from
his fellow worSingmen, hearty endorse
ment, that man is John Corcoran,
who is able enough TO be wise,
and wise and humble enough
to be the associate of all of them and
sympathizer with each. There is no man
in this county who could be selected from
it's citizens more fairly representing all
classes, all honest interests and, especially,
all his fellow workingmen.
No one need fear any discourtesy, lack of
attention or want Of capacity in the Office
of Sheriff of this county under the manage
ment of John Corcoran. He has shown
himself TO be possessed of all these qualiti-
cations under circumstances known to
every Democrat in the county. He deserves
and in common fairness must get the NOM
ination Of his party for this office.

sold Dave" monster catfish weigh

deep hole of water in the Baker Bend,
adjoining the farm of B. j. McComas,
Esq, one mile above Barboursville, on
the Guyandotte river, was caught on q
trot line by James Nelson, yesterday
evening, having swallowed fish twenty
inches long. "Old Dave" was known TO
all our sportsmen, and was nicknamed
by reason of having been struck some
years ago by gig twice, in the hands
or Dave Ward, and made his escape the
gig marks being plainly to be seen:
''0ld Dave" has broken more hooks and
lines and caused more cuss words than
his entire eating qualities will ever re-
pay. Peace to his ashes.-Hunttngton
Herald.
"0ld Dave" is a minnow compared to
the Little Kanawha's noted fish, big
john" known by reputation to every
fisherman on that stream, who have
made many fruitless attempts TO capture
him. He was first discovered by Lem
Griffin in 1907, and has not only broken
trot lines by the thousands. but, tradi-
tion says, swallowed a cow once.-Pdr-
kerSburg Sentinel.
The Cooper brothers caught over 500
pounds of fish near Sylvan Mills last
week. They were mostly perch and
catfish. This is a remarkably large
catch, and was all done with trot-lines.

An Undisputed Test of Merit.

A medicine that has been household
remedy for over fifty years and used in
that time by more than 10000 per-
sons must have great merit. Such a
medicine is found in BBANDRETH's
PILLS. This fact demonstrates the value
Of these pills better than any statement
of the proprietors. 1t will be observed
that the dose required to cure is small.
One or two pills taken every night for
ten or twenty days will cure dyspepsia,
costiveness, rheumatism, liver COM
plant, biliousness, or any disease aris-
ing from an impure state Of the blood.
BRANDRETH's Pills are purely vege-
table, absolutely harmless, and safe to
take at any time.
Sold in every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar-coated.

an obstruction on the track caught the

NtfPUDz NEs11 IN - ASSACH UsfiA IT'S
The decline Of Republicanism and its
Causes in the Bay State is matter Of
controversy between Harpess WceklB
and the Boston Transcript. Massachu-
sets gave in 1865 Republican majori-
ty Of 1900. -Four years later it gave
74,91e. In 1876 it gave sl,2s6. In 1854
he Republican majority had shrunk to
94,379. In fsss it was s9,o57. The
State has ow Democratic Governor,
and it has been carried by the head OF
the Democratic ticket for two years in
succession, an achievement without pre-
cedent. Seven of the twelve Massachu-
sets members Of Congress are Demo
Gratis, and the Transcript publishes, and
HaTve's Weekly reproduees, a table de-
signed to show the Republican break
down ia detail and tho corresponding
growth and increase Of the Democrats,
particularly in the manufacturing cities
Of the Bay State. 1t compares the vote
Of these in 1850, when the Republicans
were at the food tide of success, with
the vote cast at the recent State cleo
tion.
This situation is very gratifying and
encouraging to Democrats everywhere.
The seed Of education is yielding good
fruit. IL may be alleged and with some
show Of truth, that the increase is IN
stable and cannot be relied upon in a
Presidential year Still that don't
matter at present. The significant
point is the fact that the majoritIes in
Presidential years have been shrinking
until it is nearly two thirds less than
what it was in '6s. At the present time
the State has not only a Democratic
Governor but a Democratic majority Of
Congressman.
There is no State in the
Union where the discussion of
tariff reform has exercised such
a widespread and damaging influence
upon Republicanism as in MaSsa-
chusetts. Even the ablest and most
widely circulated newspaper, the Boston
Herald, is a staUnch believer in freer
trade, and its sturdy blows are having a
powerful effect throughout New Eng
land.
IL may or it may not be this Presi-
Dental year that the old Bay State will
return to her Democratic mOorings,
but the time is certainly not remote.
She was among the first to drift away,
and she may be the first TO return to
her old love.
