| wayne News-Hon. p G. Eastman, of
Mason county, was here a few hours last
Thursday. Mr.. Eastman is known as the
| Farmer candidate for the Democratic nom
ination for Governor. The Ncrs has been
| favorably disposed toward Mr.. Eastman
because it believes him to be one of the
most available men the party can name
He is an extensive, practical farmer, and
| his candidacy ought to be fayorably re-
ceived by the farming element. In add
tion to this he is well posted on public mat
tiers, and can make as good political speech
as the lawyers and politicians can make
Mr.. Eastman Is worthy gentleman in eve.
( ry respect, and the party will make no mis-
take in nominating him.
Weston Democrdt-We notice from the
| Buckhannon Banner the name of H. A
Rebrooks suggested as candidate for the
State Senate from this District, which is
certainly very gratifying to his many
| friends Of Lewis County. Mr.. Rebrook is
a Democrat OF the Jeffersonian school of
the strictest type, and possesses the ability
to make good Senator. His extended &C
quaintanceS, together with his association
with the laooring men, makes him form
liable candidate, and should he decide TO
enter the race for the State Senate, he
would make it exceedingly interesting for
| his opponents. His brilliant campaign of
| 'sS, when he made the race in Harrison
| County for the Legislature, where he sue
ceeded in reducing the Republican major
| ity Of $50 to less than go votes, shows that
he is not only an able campajgner but a
great hustler.
West Virginid Argus.-Hon. James B.
fancy, manager of the Wheeling REGISTER,
is receiving quite boom for delegate to
the National Democratic Convention,
| which is very meagre reward for the
services which he has rendered the party.
The zeal and fervor with which the REG
IsTER has fought the enemy is something
which the Argus has always admired, and
If the party is not ungrateful it will elect
him without opposition. The honor would
be worthily bestowed, and Bro. fancy
would come back after helping TO nominate
the next President prepared to renew his
iampooning Of the enemy, which would
strengthen our faith and deepen our love
for Democracy.
Weston Democrdt-Gilmer county, in pre-
senting the name of Spencer Collins as
candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, offers
a very deserving young man for the consid-
alton of the voters. BY his own persever-
y,
many obstacles, has succeeded in his pro-
fessionRl life TO the rank OF one OF the
prominent young attorneys of the State.
| He has devoted q full share OF his time,
| too, in advancing the political principles OF
the party whose cause he espouses, and II
the faithful are TO be rewarded the Democ-
racy Of Gilmer will elevote him TO the office
| TO which he aspires.
Moundsuille EchO-Mr. Camden's publish
ed card in the REGISTER Of Wednesday,
| over his own signature, settles the question
beyond all cavil as to his candidacy Tor
seat in the United States Senate. Mr..
Camden's withdrawal from the contest
leaves an undisputed field open for Mr.
| Faulkner to enter Mr.. Camden has a
| legion Of admirers In the State that will
regret TO hear of his withdrawal from pol
itics, but his retirement may be only tenn
porary. Mr. Camden is comparatively
! yeung man yet, and some time in the future
he may have his private business in shape
to enter the political field with the boys.
Fahmont West Virgintdn.- Remembering
with what alacrity the esteemed InteIlf-
gencer Joined the Harrison procession, we
are a little surprised it hasn't ere this
| caught on to the other one-we mean the
procession headed by State Senator Nor
/ ris. The esteemed journal aforesaid GER
tainly sees that the tide is steadily going
in the direction of the Richie county
statesman. Come on and so with the
crowd.
Buckhdnnon Bdnner-Camden Sommers
Of Clarksburg, is Gin the race to VIM can
didate for the Democratic nomination for
| Auditor Mr.. Sommers is lawyer, a
practical business man, and has had eX-
/ perence in the newspaper work, when or
course endears aim to the craft His
] do ha nudn
the full strength of the party in this
county with additions from the tioaters."
| Fairmont Inder-They are trying Presi-
| dent Cunningham, of the Kanawha County
| Court, for drunkenness. If they will add
another count to that indictment and in
clude poker playing, they would not only
scare the entire judiciary Of that section,
but make IT, mighty uncomfortable for the
leading gentlemen of the entire valley.
B,ckhannon Banner-Everett G. Smith,
for nine years editor of the Jackson Bugle,
published at Ravenswood, has sold out his
plant to ID. M. Morris, formerly Ct the
! CIarksburg Nelps, and publishes his valedic-
! tory in the current issue Of the Bu9le He
was compelled to quit the business on ac-
count of i'll health.
Kinolrood Argus-The Browns are still
getting there, as usual. Russell Brown
has lust been elected Governor OF Rhode
Island on the Republican ticket. There
are so many Browns that they can't all
belong to one party, and those born in the
dark of the moon are Republicans.
Fai,1nont er.-Colonel John @. Vance,
of Clarksburg is receiving quite boom
for the Democratic nomination for State
Treasurer. Colonel Vance would make
strong candidate for the place, and Major
Rowand had better look after his fences.
