THE INTELLIGENCER.

Although Mr.. A. B. Whites name has
been mentioned frequently in cOnnec-
ton with the Republican nomination
for governor. and sometimes with iR'-
piled authority. his candidacy has here
tOfOre been of a tentative character.
He. himself. has never given the public
a specific statement. He does so now.
In another column he declares that If
hOnored with the nomination he will do
his best to secure a Republican victory
at the polls next November but If it
should be the humor of the convention
to select another man 1t will Gbate
nothing Of his ardor for the success of
the ticket. In this we know Mr.. White
is sincere. He has ever been vigorous
fighter for the cause of Republtcanlsm
in west Virginia, and Republican in
whom there has been no shadow Of
turning. He deserves the fairest con-
sideration at the hands of his party.
He has ali the qualifications and char
acter to make a most acceptable COVER
nor. and If nominated he win be elect
ed.
Before the convention meets other
able gentlemen may conclude to have
their names considered. II SO, they
will lind none more considerate of their
right to go before the convention than

that with such men on the supreme

that their partisanship will get away

Mr.. paxton,a judicial BIZ.

The criticisms on the measure intro
duced in the house by Congressman
Dayton, providing for the division of
the state Of West Virginia Into two fed
eral districts. come from one source.
and the motives that inspire them are
patent to al! Thoughtful observers. Mr..
Dayton, in an interview with the In
tellIgencer's washington correspondent.
puts the matter In clear light. The
most active opposition to the bill comes
from Clerk Dellicker, who appeared be-
fore the judiciary committee OF the last
Congress, when the same measure was
being considered. 1t appears that on
that occasion he made anything but a
favorable impression on the members
Of the committee. Recently he has re-
newed his assault on the measure
through an interview in the press. Mr..
Dayton pays some attention to his as
sertions in regard to the business Of the
district court, and refutes his state
ments by quotations from the official
records in the attorney generals office.
The charges made by Dellicker that
the purpose Of the bill is to make places
for pack of hungry Office seekers is.
as Mr.. Dayton says. merely the opinion
OF the partisan clerk. Mr.. Dayton
gives some very good reasons why there
should be two federal districts in this
state, and the chief one has long been
recognized by those familiar with the
administration Of the business OF the
court as at present constituted. Dis
interested parties have given Mr.. Day.
toms bill the highest endorsement, and
it would Je we'll for interested parties
to frame their protests with more re-
gard to argument and the facts in the
case.
