HINTON, ". VA, September 1S.-The
political campaign in this district has
now been formally opened by both par
lies aud the prospects for q Democratic
victory ara OF the brightest hue. ChsirB
.nao Jas. Il. Miller, Of tbs Democratic
Congressional Executive Committee,
seems very hopeful and says that Al
8erson will DO elected by a big MAORI
ly The Democrats are beginning 10
estimate the strength Of their Oppo-
bantS, aud are working hard TO send the
present incumbent back 20 Congress.
Hon. Jno. o. Pendleton, ex-Gov. E.
Willis Wilson, Hon. Jno. A. Preston
and Cyclone jim" Marshall, OF Vir-
Einla, are all stumping the district for
him and have been enthusiastically re-
ceiYsd by large crowds wherever and
whenever they have spoken. The Hon.
JnO. a. Preston, OF Greeubrlsr, was
Alderson's opponent for denomination.
and IL speaks exceedingly well for him
that he should have put aside all per-
Gonal 0lsappoiRtment and taken the
stump for his successful rival; 10 Is also
OF immense benefit 70 Anderson as II is
not only the signal for all Mr.. Preston's
friends and allies to lay aside all per-
sOual piQHe and use every effort TO fur
Their Mr.. Alderson's election, but also
because Preston Is a fine orator and able
speaker.
Gen. J. w. ST. Clair, State Senator OF
FayOtte, WAS Ia the city during the
week in attendance upon the Court and
be reported that the primaries held In
Fayetteville last Tuesday promised well
for the good cause Of Democracy. He
promises tH2t We vii, SEQ Fdyette,
which has hitherto been Q Republican
county, turn sUmmersauit tkis fall
and land In the Democratic rank. Ia
Mercer and Raleigh Counties tue out
look promises we'll for Democracy. The
farmers 10 Greeu5uer add Monroe, who
3 month ago were afraid 90 vote for
Anderson on account Of their wool
growing Industries. are all coming
rOund now with Jae nigh prices Jrcy
are getting for this product, and tce
grand old Democratic county wall again
roll up q handsome majority Tor the
Democratic candidate. To Nicholas and
Pochanontas Counties Anderson Will
have q walk over, while On most OF the
other counties no tue district he is gain
ing votes every day. Huling spoke, or
rather attempted 10 MAKE speech here
q few days ago which seemed TO arouse
general disappointment even among the
members OF his own party. 1t was so
evident thas he is rot out Of the ordi-
nary run in point Of talent and ability,
and after all is is br8ius and not money
. tbatthe people wait in their legislative
halls.
With the picking up OF business the
Democrats who were on the fence are
rolling OF on tie Democratic SIDE, and
il will not be long il this increased
prosperity continues until every dis
satisfied member Of the party is back
safe ia the Democratic fold.
The Hon. John o. PendletOn, Of
Wheeling, has made some tiue speeches
this year, and his oratOrical efforts are
helping along Democratic victory TO
no small degree. He seems Just the
sort OF man 20 rouse up the few luke
warm Democrats and fire them TO
action and stir up the active ones and
incite them 70 increased activity. The
Republicans are beginning to be less
aud less hopeful each day, and If the
Democrats will Ouly work as they
should, and they will do 1t, the grand
old banner OF Democracy aud free trade
will again wave iumphant on the ideS
Of November next
