EVANSVILLE, w. VA, MGrch D.
To the Editor Of the Register;
SIR: l noticed communication in
the REGISTER OF the 18th Of February
from the County of Wood, in regard to
the political atmosphere" in that
County. | would like to say that the
political atmosphere of Calhoun County
is not ignorant of its well founded
claims in the matter OF candidate for
Congress. If the two term rule was
broken when Hogg was turned down,
and Mr.. Capeheart is not to be renomi-
mated we want IL understood that CAL
houn County will have a candidate TO
offer. Gibson from the extreme lower
end of the fourth Congressional District
was in Congress two terms. Hogg
from the same neighoorhood
followed with one. Still along
on the father Of waters
I'D a little higher, the Hon James
Monroe Jackson received the nomina-
ton and was slaughtered. Now we go
back down the Ohio little, and the
Hon. Capehart received the nomination
and was handsomely elected. All the
foregoing named gentlemen live on the
banks of the Ohio, and in the Fourth
Congressional district. This district
extends back quite distance in the In
terror, and there are as brave and hardy
Democrats in the interior as ever advo-
Gated the cause of Democracy. Now,
what | desire most TO say is that | think
Mr.. Capehart should be returned to
Congress, and should it not be the
Measure Of the convention TO renoml-
nate him, / say let the upper
end of this district have show.
Calhoun county has certainly helped
and been faithful to Wood, Mason and
Cabell. all Ohio river counties, and we
think they should be willing TO come to
the front and give helping hand to
Calhoun In case Capehart is not renomi-
mated. Calhoun claims TO have good
timber in her forest in the way OF can
didate for Congress-a man whose DEM
ocracy is unquestionable, and whose ef-
forts for the party's good have certainly
been felt. A man who has shown great
ability in the legislation halls, and
whose political life has been one OF
purity. The man refer to is the Hon.
j. NJ. Hamilton.
In regard to Governor / would say
give US o pure energetic man who on
his merits and by unwearied energy will
carry the Democratic party and be
crowned with glorious victory in No
vember next. We must be careful and
select carefully cur men for the ticket.
We want a man identified with no fac
ton and as good men for the head OF
the State ticket l would suggest two,
Hon. w. G.. Bennett of Lewis County
and Greed Collins Of Richie, either OF
whom will make a mastery race, as
their interests are identified with The
farming and laboring class Of men.
For Auditor, l know Of no better man
than Mr.. Darrsh, from Ohio county.
For State Superintendent OF Free
Schools, Thomas Hodges, Of Hunting
| ton.
Now. as to State Senator OF the
Fourth Senatorial District, l could
name no better man than John ,.
Withers, of the county OF Gilmer.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l think that any
of the foregoing men can swamp" the
enemy in the coming battle. We want
10. as / said before, be careful in select
ing our men. Let Us nominate me1
who are pure and have the love and
prosperity OF the good old party al
beart. and whose energy will be poured
into the coming campaigns with the
shirt of a true Jeffersonian student
A CALHOUN DEMOCRAT.
