JEFFERSON COUNTY, W. VA.-
Mach % loo.

Marcn 70, lSUZ.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It is with much pleas
ure that notice the announcement Of
John J. Cornwell as candidate for the
State Senate from this district, for
know him we'll and favorably.
In the emergency confronting our
party by reason of the late Republican
Gerrymander, ii is of paramount impor-
lance that the Senator to represent this
district should not only be answering
in his Democracy and conversant with
the needs of this farming community,
but that he should be not lacking in ex-
perience and have the ability to defend
the rights of his constituents, whether
in committee or in open debate.
At the next session Of the Legislature
the scheme of taxation throughout the
State is to be revised, and if the corpor-
atoms are not to get an unfair advantage
at the expense of the agricultural inter
ests of the State, it will not be the fault
of the Republicans.
Mr.. Cornwell's candidacy should APP
peal forcibly TO Jefferson county, as his
earlier education was received at Shep-
herd College, of whose future progress
he is naturally solcitous He was large
ly instrumental in obtaining the $685.
900 appropriation for the school from
the last Legislature.
Because Of the devotion of his people
to the cause of the Confederacy, John
Cornwell was born with no silver spoon
in his mouth, but is self-eduCated son
Of the soil, who by hard experience has
learned the needs of farming people,
and his success in life has been due to
his good habits, industry and we'll
trained intellect.
Representing Hampshire in the Leg
isature with conspicuous ability, and
editing the chief Democratic paper OF
the South Branch Valley with vigorous
support of party principles, Mr.. Corn
wells reputation as an able legislator
and champion Of the peoples rights IS
State wide, and having stumped Jetfer-
son county in recent years for the Dem
ocratic ticket he is no stranger to our
people, many of whom have learned to
love and admire him for his many good
qualities of head and heart.
Since, owing to the admission OF Hamp-
shire county to this senatorial district,
the old rule of rotation in nominations
is annulled, it would be a graceful act
10 welcome the grand OLD Democratic
county of Hampshire to political af-
filiation with us by endorsing the can
didacy of her honored son by acclama-
ton, more especially as Hampshire has
always unswervingly supported Jetfer-
sons candidates for political office.
This say without derogation to the
claims of any other candidates, but be-
cause believe it to be good Democratic
politics for us to note the signs of the
times, and govern ourselves according
ly."
Put none but Democrats on guard
John Cornwell has been tried in the
balance and not found wanting, and he
can be trusted to safeguard the rights
of the people Of Jefferson.
Respectfully.
JEFFERsONIAN.
