The Man Wanted.

Our esteemed and valued cOntCm-
porary the Shepherdstown Register
referring to the many complimentary
things said of Judge w. G.. Bennett
in connection with the Democratic
nomination for Governor insists,
nevertheless, that the Governor this
year should come from the eastern
Panhandle, and names Hon. a. S.
cambridge and Col. Forrest W.
Brown, Of Jefferson, and Judge r..
Boyd Faulkner, of Berkeley, as
available men. We think, however,
that we do not misCOnStrue our friend
of the Register when we say that he
is evidently Impressed with the idea
that Judge Bennett is the most availa-
bic man the party can name for the
office in question. Mark what our
contemporary says:
elf we may take the liberty, how
ever, of making a second Choice--in
the event that circumstances should
prevent the nomination coming this
Wayne should not hesitate to name
Judge Bennett. He is man of high
character and great ability, and
would bring to the office of Governor
dignity and integrity most desirable
in such place. There seems to be
n growing impression in his favor
throughout the State. The people
generally express desire to see not
only change in the personally of
our Governor as required by law, but
complete revolution in the very
spirit and atmosphere. They want
Governor who will command re-
spect ut home and abroad, and who
shall be far above the level of the
common pot-hOuse politician who
sees nothing in public affairs but his
own personal advantage. We be-
lieve Judge Bennett is the sort of a
man who would fill the demand of
the Democracy of West Virginia."
We would feel reluctant to oppose
the wishes of the people of jefferson
county should they put up a candi-
date for the office of Governor, but
feeling satisfied that Judge Bennett
is the most available man we can
nominate, we suggest to the Register
to urge Col. Brown for the nomina-
ton for Attorney General.

a NEAT PARRN.-A few months
ago Secretary of Agriculture Morton
abolished the congressional seed bust.
ness. When Congress met, a num-
Der Of Senators and Representatives
delivered buncombe speeches about
the "pOor farmer" who had been
cut off from his supply of seed. rs.
pecially was the Secretary denounced
for having reflected on Congress"
by saying that he had bought back
from seed stores at a quarter of their
value packages of seeds that had been
issued to Congressman. a bill was
passed requiring the Secretary to be-
gin agaiu the practice of issuing seeds.
1t had not been long passed before
the true nature of the buncombe
speeches turned up; it was not the
" poor farmer" but the places in the
Agricultural Department to give to
their heelers that the Congressman
were after. 1t seems that several
hundred clerks are employed pack
ing the seeds, and these are fence
members appointed on the recon-
mendation Of Congressman. Secro-
tary Morton has announced that he
will employ no more persons to make
up seed packages, as it would he
cheaper to buy them from seed
houses ready packed. How the Con-
gressmen will get over this neat parry
Of the Secretary remains to be seen,
but they will manage it. For o
clever, artful dodger, a spokesman is
hard to beat Stanton Tindicator.

broad as the country he would rule :;
a friend Of the South, and the idol

an advocate of free coinage, but bal
anced on the question Of finance as
upon every question he considers ;
an extremist in nothing his polit-
ical record as clean as arctic snow ;
possessing convictions, and the cour-
age of them a man, above all, who
could unite the whole Democratic
party; and who can and Will, if
elected, give the country a pure,
healthy and vigorous administration
"a man who would hold the admi-
ration of the people, without intimi-
dating capital or disturbing business ;
VINO would command the respect of
OF his opponents without losing the

follow whom to defeat would be more
honorable than to follow Others to
victory. If the Democrats will
nominate him, he will be elected -

Of books TO suit themselves, ignOr-

two parties TO a contract. Suspect
ing that the prices fixed Ivy them
might not be satisfactory to the pub
fishers, they authorized the Gov
for books in the event the publishers
declined to enter into contracts with
the State Superintendent to supply
books as the law provides. 1t turned
out that the publishers would not
agree to the terms of the law, and

to secure the books i'm most general

appointed a bOard-GOv. Fleming,

board was in session, at Charleston,

make contracts with publishers for
the supply of the books needed

now refuses to furnish at the prices
