TEN DAYS IN WASHINGTON.
Third Popular Excursion to the National
Capital via. II. & o. Il. r.

Third Popular Excursion to the National
Capital via. b. & o. r. Il.
The third popular excursion to Wash
ington, via. B. & o. r. R., from Pitts
burg, Wheeling, Parkersburg, Lexing-
ton and intermediate stations to Wash
ington Junction, Nd, is announced for
Thursday, February 18th. The popu-
larity Of these winter trips to the
National Capital via. i. & o., is due to
the exceedingly low rates, the excellence
OF the train service, with Pullman &C
commodations, and to the fact that the
b. & o. is the shortest route.
The journey is delightful as well as
instructive, while in Washington are
more interesting sights than in any
other American city. The museums,
the art galleries, the White House, the
public buildings-to all of which admis-
sion is free-are attractions at all times
appreciated.
Tickets from Pittsburg, Wheeling,
and intermediate points to Martins
burg are valid TO Baltimore, and as
they are good for ten days ample time
is afforded for side trips to Mt. Vernon,
Old Point Comfort, and other adjacent
points.
Trains leave Wheeling at 6:10 a. m,
and 6:I0 D. NJ, and for these two trains
only will tickets be sold. Pullman Sleep
ing cars on evening train.
Round-trip rate, $1,000. Correspond :
ingly low rates from other stations.

The GuberuatOriaI Candidacy.
USf-sl Democrat.


We are not disposed TO say whence
comes our candidate. But II we were
looking for him, by a law OF natural Sc
lection we should endeavor to find him
in the First district. In this district
we find a possible three, any one OF
whom is good enough for US. Outside
of a political charity which begins at
home, we may further say that ony one
whom we may mention is good enough
for US, and has only TO secure the nom
nation TO receive our support.
Judge Bennett commends himself TO
our regard by his fitness for the place
and his sterling Democracy. We should
be for him hide, tooth and nail were IL
not for two others whom we shall now
mention. We have heard the name OF
Colonel Dan Johnson favorably men
toned. We are unable to give the
Colonel a geographical location. he
claims his residence in the First district
and his domicile In the Second. A man
may legally live at one place and reside
nj another. Col. Dan has been been be-
fore the people several times for several
Offices, and has won and lost as many
games as any man in the country. But
when we call to mind his service to the
Democratic party in the dark days OF
the war and aiterward, we are disposed
to concede TO the Colonel right to hold
Office all his life if he wants TO.
Last, but not least, except physically,
among the three comes Col. Robert
White. He has been engaged tor a
number of years in hard campaign work
and would run like scared hound down
in the. Democratic end of the Second
district. But Ohio county has two can
didateS for Auditor and one for Attorney
General, and has evidently undertaken
TO handle very big scoop. Some Of
these difficulties must be eliminated
from the canvass by subtraction, other
wise somebody will get left.

Duffy on the 'third term" or any other
pretext, we will give him a chrome.
The Free Press has not expressed an
opinion on the subject Of the third term

however, because it has not had opin-

Campbell for n Position.


Senator Alex Il. Campbell was in
Harrisvlle a couple Of days last week.
He Is now engaged in life insurance
rather more than politics, residing in
Wheeling and doing business from
there. However, Senator Campbell is
well posted in regard to the political
situation In this State. He is a live Re-
publican, a prominent business man and
an acute observer Of affairs in general.
In the State Senate he made a hand
some record as good speaker, au I'M
firing worker and live politician. The
Gazette would like to see his name on the
next State ticket. How would he DO
for Treasurer? His financial sagacity
and long business experience fit him for
the place. Senator Campbell would
strengthen the ticket.

The WetZel Democrat thinks that the
First Congressional district is entitled
to the office of Governor. We think so,
too. 1t is a singular and significant
fact that in the history Of this State
that this district has never had Sena-
tor Of the United States nor Governor.
These honorable offices have been
monopolized by other sections.
The Second Congressional dis
trict had a Governor in the person OF j..
J. Jacob for two terms and now has
Gov. Fleming. The Third had Cover
nor Matthews and recently Gov. Wilson.
The Fourth district had Gov. jackson.
and ex-senator Camden was twice the
nominee Of the Democratic party for
that position in the Fourth district
We, therefore, insist with all becoming
modesty that the First district ought
to be allowed to have the Governor just
once,
