Dana were associated in the towboat
business under the name of the
Kanawha & Ohio Transportation Co.,
owning the steamers D. 7. Lane and
Oil Valley. After pleasant associa-
ton of six years the company diSsolv-
ed, Mr.. Dana taking the Lane and
Mr.. Sentz the Oil Valley.
About 1850 Capt. Sentz gave up the
steamboat business and has since
been living in comparative retirement
at his home at Spring Hill. His fam
lily relations are the happiest possible,
and as a good neighbor he is known
for miles around. He has been liber-
al in his gifts to deserving charities
but this is only known to few.
LET not your LETT hand know what
your right hand doeth' is a maxim
that has found thorough exemplif-
cation in Capt. Sentz. But the few
who know of them are those whose
words go far. The contributions have
been liberal and many, which fact can
be we'll verified by many of Charles
ton most responsible citizens. Capt
Sentz, during his business career, es-
tablished record that may possibly
be most briefly told by saying that the
local banks have not only been will
ing to loan him money but have re-
quested him to come to them at any
time, assuring him that his single
name paper" would be good.
Capt. Sentz is mentioned as a cam
didate for the Republican nomination
for State Treasurer. If his name is
placed upon the ticket it will be a
tower of strength. No one can attack
his record. If some other man is
chosen Capt. Sentz will be found
working for the success of the Re-
publican cause, as usual.

A Fair Divide.

The Governorship that will go to
the First district carries with it the
following appointments:
Secretary of State, with salary oil
81 900 and fees estimated at SI4, 900;
State Librarian, with salary of ST.
600; Adjutant General, with salary
of 81, 200; State Bank Examiner, with
salary of $500; Inspectors of Mines,
with salary of $1,000 each; Private
Secretary, with salary of 81, 200 and
Janitor of Capitol, with salary of 81
600.
IN addition to these the Governor
appoints the Boards of the various
State Institutions, carrying with them
all the many appointments to places
IN these institutions. We therefore
think we can with good grace insist
that the First district should not
claim the Authorship along with the
Governorship. This particular place
on the State ticket, the Second dis
trict will ask the party at Parkers-
burg to accord to it, and the Herald
believes that the delegates to the
State Convention will not turn down
the Second district for the second
place.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1896-07-18

on the ticket. That one and the
same district should monopolize both
of these is surely political impossi-
bility, unless all political presidents
are to be entirely disregarded, and
district lines completely obliterated.
The claim that the residences Of
the two candidates for Auditor from
the First and Second districts re-
spectively are about equally distant
in so many miles from the residence
in Wheeling of Mr.. Atkinson, while
nominally true, carries with it its own
complete reputation SO far as the
facts bear on the selection of a candi-
date from geographical standpoint.
Every politician knows that so far as
geographical selection goes, candi-
dates are selected with reference sole
ly to district lines, and nobody ever
heard OF mere distance being taken
into consideration. AS the candi-
date and representative of the Second
district in the matter of the Auditor
ship, Mr.. LaFollette, though living
in Grafton, is as much the candidate
of the great Eastern Panhandle as he
is of the western end of the district.
While he now resides in Taylor coun-
ty, he is a native of the Eastern Pan
handle, having been born in Hamp-
shire county. Throughout that Sec
ton many of his friends and rela-
tives still live, and there he has a
large influence.
To the east Of Taylor county is the
great portion of the Second district
extending over two hundred miles of
territory and claiming representation
on the State ticket in the person OF
the candidate for Auditor from Tay-
lor county, representing the entire
Second district. In the issue of the
Grafton Sentinel of two weeks ago,
containing a great number of press
comments on the matter, it was
shown in the most convincing and
conclusive manner that the Second
district ought to have the Auditor
ship, and with equal force it was dem
onstrated that i'll the personality OF
the candidate, and as a splendid type
of the young men of the party. no
better nomination could be made
from a personal and political stand
point.

few references and reminders of GER
tain facts bearing on the Authorship
may be highly pertinent to the situ-
alton. An appeal to spirit of fair

of the State will certainly not be in
vain when made to the Republicans
of the First and other districts.
It is now conceded everywhere that
the nomination for Governor will fall
to the First district beyond any ques-
ton. This being true it should be as
generally and fully conceded that the
nomination for Auditor cannot fall to
the same district. The Governor
ship is by far the best place on the
ticket both from the distinction flow
ing from its exalted character, and in
the emoluments that go with it. The
Authorship is the second best place
