There is no surplus of love lost
among the Republican leaders in
this State, but the Democrats need
not bank on that for victory. There
must be a getting together and a
re organization on safe party lines,
or there will be heaps of trouble
ahead for US. We believe that there
will be a great change in popular
sentiment before the next election.
These political winds are tickle and
uncertain.-Wetzel Democrat.

The Republican papers are bit
terly opposed to the call for Dem
Ocratic State Convention, in Char
lesion, in June next This should
be one of the strongest arguments in
favor of holding the Convention. A
few Democratic papers are disposed
to oppose the call for a convention,
and notably among them is the
Huntington Advertiser. The Wheel
ing Register, which is known as a
gold bug organ, has not yet ex-
pressed an opinion rpon the ques
ton of q convention; and the Par
kersburg Sentinel, a paper always
ready to keep abreast of the times,
has shown a cowardice in this mat
ter that is unaccountable for pa
per usually so progressive and SO
aggressive.
Notwithstanding this opposition
and this lukewarmness, the Con
vention will be held, some time this
summer.
If the Democracy would save
itself in West Virginia and regain
power, it will have to meet in State
Convention and declare itself fully
and freely upon the great question
of free silver coinage. There can
be no lodging this great and i'm
pOrtant question now before the
people.
