"Clarksburg, W. Va, September 2, 1856
The Honorable, the Executive Commi.. zee
of the Peoples Party of Wes: Virginia:
Il have the honor to acknowledge formal
notice of my selection by the peoples party
Of West Virginia as its candidate for gov

sincere thanks for the high compliment.

Herr Most Describes His Platform.
DENVER, Col, September AIR c. w.
Varnum, a prominent republican of this
city, recently wrote Herr Most asking what
his position was on the silver question, and
has received the following reply: 81 have
expressed the opinion that at present gold
only can be used as a proper standard of
value, because its cost of production is
stable and alike all over the world where
as silver is getting cheaper every year. If,
hnr fhn loff f-Lx
money, notwithstanding facts stated above,
1t should be done according to its market
price, not 16 to /, but tat this momenD 30
to l, though that would render silver money
very inconvenient. Silver men had better
Invent some new articles of luxury, make
them fashionable, and flood all markets
That would be the proper way to get rid
OF all superhuity of silver and make 1t use
full.
Il am, otherwise, no politician, but an
anarchist, and, consequently, do not care
for any party in the arena of voting fights
which l regard as monkey-theater, good
for the amusement of big children. I be-
lieve in revolution, and not in humbug"
Chairman Hanna on the Nominees.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 4.-Na-
tional Republican Chairman Hanna, in an
interview, said, concerning the result of
the Indianapolis democratic gold standard
convention: Il think the action of the con-
senator
Palmer is a strong reliable man, and has
a heavy following among the democrats of
Illinois. His nomination, following that of
gold standard democrat for governor in
that state, will weaken the forces of the
other democrats in Illinois very material
ly."
Flow about Mr.. Buckner?"
The nomination of Mr.. Buckner will
also do us good. He is strong in Kentucky
and throughout the south, and will help
us very much.''
Regarding the Vermont election, Mr..
Hanna said: THE result of the state cleo
ticn in Vermont makes it appear that the
people exercised sound, sober sense in deal
ing with the questions at issue, and showed
their temper toward the Chicago platform
1t indicates that the people as a whole will
repudiate that platform
Mr.. Hanna leaves here this evening for
Chicago.
