from the names thus mentioned the Sc

satisfactory ticket is easy.
For Senator, Judge Geo. E. Boyd,
Louis Stifel, Gen. Alfred Caldwell, and
others are mentioned, and any one OF
them would meet all the requirements
of the case.
The Congressional situation Is nat
urally exciting interest, and the friends
OF Hon. John o. Pendleton are naturally
confident OF his hearty endorsement.
The many warm friends and admirers
OF Col. w. w. Arnett are not without
hope, however, and are doing yeoman
service In his behalf, not only here, but
in other counties OF the district, and
they insist that from both Hancock and
Brooke they have strong assurances oil
tangible support. Personally, Col. Ar
nett Is not taking an active part In the
matter, but it is known that II, by any
possibility, the nomination should be
rendered him by the Convention, he Will
accept the high honor and enter upon
an energetic and winning night oeiore
the people.
The fight for the Republican nomina-
ton for the House Of Delegates In
Marshall county, promises to be very
interesting. Geo. p. Games and L. +.
Bowman. who represented the county
in the last Legislature, are both candl-
dates for denomination. Hon. Josiah
| Sinclair, of Benwood is doing some tall
hnstling, and his friends are confident
that he will succeed. Mr.. Sinclair has
had some experience, and is shIewd
politician.
