tho management OF this state until
in Lewis county nlonc at least fifty will
support tho Republican nominee for

no young men OF intellectually Gun
hope to occupy n lucrative oil hon

Hon. John d. Hewitt is moro than
likely TO be one Of the delegates-at-large
from this state to the national Republic
can convention. Mr.. Hewitt is one of
the most active and prominent Repub-
lican leaders in West Virginia, and de-
serves this recognition OF his services at
the hands OF his party. None have ex-
celled, and few equaled him in oreaniz-
ing the party and effectively working
for the cause OF Republicanism in this
section Of the state.-Nat Top Monitor

bar, IS q Democratic] candidate for the
Supreme Court OF Appeals. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the nominee will come
from east Of tho Alleghcnies, andIw

see many complimentary notices OF him

requests us to state hat the announce
ment that he is a candidate for Judge of
the Suprsme Court OF Appeals Of West

state press and emanating originally
from the Wheeling Register is wholly
un%warranted. He is not and will not
be . candidate for that position.-.Non-

1t seems that Capt. B. 3. Dovener
will lead the Republicans OF the First
district to victory this fall. We look.
upon him MS n sure winner. The nan
who knocked the sprouts oil OF Senator
Falkner in 1890 will have his W fun
with the sounding brass which now
misrepresents the First district in Con-
gress.-Berkrley Republican.
a Clarksburg correspondent OF tho
Wheeling lNTELLIGgNcER suggests Gen.
r. S. Northcott for one Of the delegates
from this Congressional district, to the
