MR.. CANIpBELL's DEATH.
SteubcnvlIle Gazette.


Hon. Archie W. Campbell, who died
near ST. Louis Monday, as the result of
a stroke OF paralysis, was chiefly known
in these parts as editor OF The Wheeling
1ntelllsencer, 10 which paper he gave an
established character by his .orceful
writing, though none OF his contempoc-
aries was more moderate In language
than he-lt was his solid way OF putting
things that countedand there was MOTH
Ing OF local interest that escaped intelli-
gent and thoughtful editorial notice
when he was In the chair. no matter
how absorbing were current affairs OF
national and general import. His at
tentlon TO Wheelings interests gained
him the confidence and regard OF his
fellow citizens In eminent degree, and
we feel 1t not detraction Of the merits
o. Others In saying that he was closer
10 the heart OF his home city than any
other editor inRhls section has been, and
there was sense OF proud ownership In
the feeling toward him that spoke well
for the appreciatlve reciprocity OF his
neighbors as well as for his own distinc-
tive merits. When he ceased his active

regret was universal among newspaper
men OF the upper Ohio valley. most OF
whom regarded him as n kindly mentor
as well as friend. In politics he was u
firm Republican. but Independent in
thought and expression. though never
unklnd. He opposed the machine on
more than one occasion and won ma
tlOlal distinction at one stroke nv his
assertion of individual sovereignty In
the Republican national convention Of
1850. He was II man so worthy OF high
regard In many ways that there Is real
pleasure in learning, along with the
sad news OF his death, that he was
native OF Jefferson county, though
