Col. d. OConnell of White SULPHUR

uation as follows:
MY own belief is that unless the
Republicans of West Virginia cease
their present chickering's and get to.
gether the Democrats will elect their
state ticket. The situation is lust
this: Owing to the hot fight for the
gubernatorial nomination between
Chas. f. Teter and w. M. o. Dawson.
agreat deal of bitterness has been de-
velOped between the followers of each
OF these, and it looks now as though
neither faction would give its support
to the candidate of the opposition fac
ton. Under these circumstances it
would be a wise thing, from Republi.
can standpoint. to drop both men and
pick brand new man for the head of
the ticket, one on whom all Il Republi-
Calls could agree and give hearty sup
port. 1t will be necessary to do this,
lnasmuch as the Democrats are apt to
nominate that veteran leader and solid
statesman,ex Senator Henry Ct. Davis,
Is their candidate for governor. 1t will
take united party to defeat him.
