The Register has private information
from a reliable sourc that Mr.. James
H. Miller, of Hinton, Summers county,
is an avowed candidate for the nomina-
ton for Auditor of State IN the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr. Miller has. accord
ing to the best recollection OF the
writer, been the Chairman of the Third
district. Democratic Committee for more
than ten years past, and as such con-
Quoted the affairs Of the party in his
section of the State through the sue
cssses of earlier and the rever- es of later
years, and no man is better Or more
favorably known among the people and
politicians of the lower end of the State
than he. 1t can be truthfully and en-
thorough business man, whose reputa-
I ton for honesty and probity is second
to that of no man in the State of West
Virginia, and mis- fitness for the Office
he seeks cannot be questioned in any
quarter. Mr.. Miller has never asked or
sought any official reward at the hands
Of the Democratic party of West Vir-
ginia, and the source from which the
i Register learns that his friends are
pushing him carries with it the further
assurance that while he is a candidate,
he will not be one of those who will
make a claim for personal ends solely.
If a majority OF the Democracy of the
State, in convention assembled, are of
the opinion that some other man is bet
ter fitted for the place, Mr.. Miller will
acquiesce c%heerfully in the choice made.
and viii take off both hat and coat in
the interests of the successful nominee.
1t may be suggested that this remark
is a stereotyped statement as to candi-
dates, but it applies with peculiar and
particular force TO Mr.. Miller. whose
loyalty to the Democracy at all times
and under all circumstances makes the
announcement applicable to him in full
measure.
Mr.. Miller comes from a section of the
State sturdily Democratic. and repre-
sents to an unusual degree all the ele-
ments of the party, and the people gen
orally as well.

Because only one great nation on earth

that nation can make these friendly repre-
