SIR; Enclosed end manuscript as
originally sent to the Intelligencer for
publication aad she same went into the
waste basket along with many others
from different sections OF the State ad-
vocatipg the claims OF favorite caadi-
yates. i Afterwards sent the same man
escript 10 Mr.. Waite, IL being the same
published BY him, except the few pencil
efaSures, which you viii please put Ia
italics, % enable your readers 10 see
just how Outrageous" IL would
have been had either Mr.. Hart or
Mr. White printed 10 as 10 was written
Mr.. While, for some reason retained
the pase which be SAYS be left out,
Whlcn was chiefly a criticism OF Mr..
mart. As do not desire 70 conceal one
tnlng' ask thar Mr.. White forward
tnat omitted page % the Register, so
thdt Republicans can know al the facts
@uu see now Infamous this game played
Oy Two ordve(?l editors has been, sim
ply because a iagman in the RsDubli-
can ranks sought 10 call attention TO
Tue merits Of gifted patriot statesman
not their favOrite. As all the manuscripts
are now az the command OF the pair OF
L.iSins' champions they can have no ex-
cuse for remaining silent. Such silence
viii only demonstrate % the minds OF
Al Ialr minded men that they are
towards. That they suppress the truth
oecaust they fear IT, One thing that
makes their actions more cOwardly Is
that they know that the Register does
not reach an Republicans VINO have
read their false accusations ana iuslaua-
tons. Very resoec fully.

zothe Editor tis sac J1gral}.
The press is powerful but the people are
paramount; che press proposes aud pre-
diets, but 70 is % be hoped that the peo-
pie Will properly perform through their
legally elected Representatives. Damoc-
racy was detrr0ned 10 this State by
ignoring the wishes Of the masses, and
II does seem sensible that we should
carefully consider aud make a special
effort 10 ascertain the real desires Of
the majority, who made Ii possible for
our party % elect Senator Camden's
successor. II their choice be Hon.
stephen b. Eikins, all say, so let il be,
but u they have 10 view another upon
whom they desire TO bestow the honor,
let their voice be Ooeyed.
Any thoughtful citizen who has close
~ followed the expressions OF some OF
the Republican newspapers OF the State
cannot help being impressed with the
fact that latent fear dweils in the
minds OF the editors thar some other
than Nh Eikius is the fayorite Of the
people, and it does not require ability
10 read between lines to see who that
gentleman is whose name is SO foDdiy
cherished.
Ii is not our purpose 20 speak dispar-
agingly or disrespectfully Of Mr.. Elk
las. His ambitions are cOmmendable,
he is worthy, upright man, upon
whom the Republican party can heap
hOnOrs and DO igsef credit Deferment
will not impair his Republication we
OJc. The leaders OF our pay have
a., met many disappOintments, out their
enthusiasm or efforts FOR success were
not lessened. IL Is 20 be regretted that
Mr.. Elkins reiterated Ia pub
llshed interview the tlimsy excuse which
has been made tbreadbare by its count
less Tepetiti0nS are I0 doubt % COR-
SciOUS UCGkRCsS Of position before the
people that Gen. Golf would
not should not, could not, or
ought not be considered in con-
nection with the SenatOrship, because
his promotion would vacate q Judge
ship which would be filed by Wm. L.
Wilson. It must be remembered that
the cuckoo element is not al this writ
ing very strong in the Senate, and from
present indications q reflective man
would not consider IL a violent DresumU-
ton that his name for confirmation
would meet the fate Of HOrnblower and
others. It is dollars TO doughnuts that
Grover the Great would not do as
predicted; be delights 10 surprises.
To is not question in fact OF what the
Republican party owes 20 aDy man. To
be a worthy member Of the party is and
al ways has been an honor; 20 spend time
ADD money il need DO for its success is
the duty of all who can subscribe 20 an
honest cause. There Is, we repeat, but
one thing for the Legislature 10 do.
Ascertain, IL possible. whom majority
Of the Republicans 10 the State want 20
Oh the position, and carry out their be-
hest. as individuals all Republicans
are entitled 20 a respectful hearing.
Much has been said and done to mould
public opinion ia favor OF Mr.. Elkins
and some newspapers have lent a will
Ing ear 10 every whisper in that diTec-
sion. Why, many are at a loss to know.
IL certainly cannot be- deemed improper
or impertinent az this time 10 cause 10
ma Driptei few OF the many reasons
why General Coils name should be
mentioned as a most suitable person TO
sit In the next Senate. lie is BY far the
most able statesman 10 West Virginia.
His reputation is based upon honorable
performance OF every official duty His
