We understand that there is probability
that Judge E. Boyd Faulkner will be can
didate for Judge of this judicial district, an
office which he now holds by appointment.
He has proven to be so admirably fitted for
the place that there is great reluctance to
give him up, and pressure has been brought
to bear upon him. with the result that he
will perhaps yield and stand for the place.
Among the other gentlemen who are said to
be candidates are Messrs. d. @. Weston
haver of Martnsburg, and T. G. Green and
B. D. Gibson, of Charles Town.
If there is to be contest for the place,
Shepherdstown will in all probability have
local preference and present the name OF
Hon. Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover to the conven-
ton. For couple of weeks the people
here have been talking of him, and he will
undoubtedly be the first choice of this COM
munity. His well-known prompt and sys-
tematic business methods, his integrity, his
legal attachments and his high personal
character, would make him model judge,
and we are sure that the people would never
regret it should they bestow upon him ju-
dicial honors.-Shep. Regi,ter.

Special 10 The Free Press:
New YORK, May z, 1892.
For many years past I have been in the
habit of fOrecasting for the readers OF HE
FREE PRESS what appeared to be the prob
abilities of the campaigners in this city In
which national interests were involved. Ii
your readers will cast their eyes ever the
back numbers of your paper l think they
will find my forecasts were pretty well ia
ken, especially in presidential years.
We are again rapidly approaching the
great four-year national race, and the note
OF preparation is already sounding in the
Empire City. One of the first symptoms
of anti Democratic awakening is to be
found in the increased abuse of Tammany
Hall in which Republican papers indulge
as we'll as their Mugwump allies OF the
Republican stripe-for your Mugwump Is a
mixed breed and trains as camp follower
On both sides-Democrati and Republican.
He, too, hates and abuses Tammany Hall
simply because it is the home of Jefferson
ian Democracy in this State.
William R. Grace, who was the evil &C.
MUS of the Hancock campaign of 1880, is
again stirring about with perniciOus activ-
ity, spring and summer candidate for
mayor of New York. His candidacy for
mayor in 1880 cost the Democratic party in
this city twenty-five thousand votes and
nearly elected Republican, Mr.. Dowd, to
the mayorality while absolutely submerglng
the Empire State in the Republican column
and electing Garfield President over Han
cock. Mr. Grace is an enemy of Tammany
Hall. to which he is indebted for his polit'
ical start in life, the late Mr.. John Kelly
having nominated him and, although close
ly run by Dowd, Grace landed winner
with about one thousand majority-a most
surprisingly small majority in this Demo
cratic stronghold.
Mr.. Croker, the present leader of Tam
many Hall, is not so credulous as to be led
by Mr.. Grace, and consequently Mr.. Gro
ker and other good Democrats will have to
fight this Peruvian merchant of Irish line
age at the approaching election.
Let the South be assured of one thing
that Mr.. Grace has never kept political
faith with anyone, and that Mr.. Cleveland
had better have weather eye on this art
full dodger of New York politics lest he
cheat him as he did his inventor, the late
John Kelly Let the South be assured Of
one other thing, aud that is, it has friend
in Mr.. Croker, true, loyal, Democrat who
will lead the cohorts of Democracy in the
coming fray, and who will see to it that
they will all be rallied to the polls to vote
the national Democratic ticket, be the
standard bearer who he may. | know the
man we'll and again assure your readers
that truer Democrat and an honester pol
itician than Richard Croker is not to be
found in the United States.
Yours truly, j. +. Mol.

Louisiana is that the great Morganza Levee,

is such that it is utterly impossible to close
any breach. This leyee broke in 1884, when
