The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1892-08-13


The state Convention at Parkers-
burg last week was great gather
ing Of young, earnest and enthusi-
astic Democrats. Every county in
the State was fully represented;
from Berkeley TO Wayne and from
Hancock to Mcdowell, Lustling,
fighting crowd Of party workers were
out in force. And the outcome was
worthy of such an earnest, patriotic
crowd. While on every Office there
was q hot contest, it was, neverthe-
less, she striving Of friends and work
ers in a common cause; no ill-feeling,
so far as the most keensighted could
judge, was engendered, but the ut
most good humor prevailed through
out.
The ticket is typical of such a
body; it is made up of young, new
blood; live energetic workers; and
the Republican who imagines that
it will be easily beaten will realize
his mistake next November. On
mature reflection, we can say in all
truth and sincerity, we believe the
ticket the best and strongest that
could have been made out of the ma
terial offered.
The head of it, Col. William A.
MacCorkle, is young man only "a
years of age. He represents the
push and pluck of our progressive
young State; true man of the com
mon people. When but four years
old, his father was killed in the Con-
federate army, and the young orphan
has educated himself, carved out his
profession by his own efforts, single
handed, and, besides contributing to
the support of widowed mother, has
by economy and foresight succeeded
in financial way. His canvass for
the nomination is the strongest and
most remarkable in the history of the
State; in fact,it was so able and com
plete as to convince even his enemies
that he would win if nominated. He
will De heard from in every nook and
corner of our mountain State before
election day.
The Auditor, l. V. johnson, Of
Barbour county, is an experienced
business man as we'll as a practical
farmer. The Republicans say that
he is the best man we could have
nominated and will add hundreds of
votes to the ticket in his own section.
The Treasurer is to be John M. Row
an, member of the State Board of
He is too we'll and IA
vorably known in this county to re-
quire an introduction. The State
Superintendent of Free Schools is
one of the ripest scholars and most
highly cultivated literary men in the
State, and, moreover, has had twenty
years experience in school work, ser
wing the greatest part Of the time as
County Superintendent of Mason
county. I. S. Riley was nominated
for Attorney General as an act of
justice for the four years of hard and |
faithful and thankless service rem
dered by him as Chairman of the
State Executive Committee. He rep
resents our Irish friends in the party.
Holt, for the Court of Appeals, has
proved his fitness by his service al
ready; while Dent has already been
on the peoples party ticket, and is a
studious and thorough law
yer, whose nomination could not be
well improved upon. G. Wood Daily.
of keyser, the young orator who has
fallen heir to the mantle of Henry S,
and S. S. Vinson, the elo-
quent farmer from Wayne, complete
the ticket as Electors at Large.
The Democrat who cannot cordial
" support the whole ticket is I'M
worthy Of the name. From top to
bottom it is practically fawless. If
our farmer friends did not get East
lam or Sydenstricker, they have got
,en all the other places that are non
professional, except one of the Elec-
,ors. OurRepublican friends could not
10 better than place the above names
IN their ticket.
