ulated for his stand for Dawson. Sew
eral others of the delegates were pref

edged that they had been fooled by
the big bluff that Teter had put up.
If they had only taken the REGISTERS
advice, all would have been well.
One of the striking features of the
convention was the number and off,
ciousness Of the negro delegates.
From the smooth and subtitle Phil
Waters, of Kanawha county, to the
big black bucks from Fayette county,
there was motley crew, and they
stuck their oar in at every opportu-
nifty. At times they became often.

dividual Republicans feelingly ex-
pressed their disgust, the convention
gave them the glad hand and ap-
plauded them frequently. The Re-

negroes in West Virginia, and that's
why they are so loving toward them.

Ace of London Bridge.

London Bridge will be seventy-three
years old on August lst, for it was on
that date 1881 that it was formally
opened by the King and Queen of Eng
land. The famous American remedy
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is now in
its 5lst year, being first introduced in
1853, and when you consider the fact
that it has been before the public con-
tinuously all those years you must real
ize the merit it contains, without which
it would have failed long ago. Today,
however, finds it more popular than
ever, especially among men and women
who suffer from poor appetite, cramps,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation or malaria.
Don't fail to try it. The genuine has
our private stamp over the neck of the
bottle.

counties was half through the popu.

counties was half through the Popu-
larity of Scherr was so we'll estab-
lished and his nomination so certain
that Darst withdrew, and Scherr was
nominated by acclamatiop. For Treas.
urer T. T. McDougall, of Wayne coun-
ty, Newton Ogdin, of Peasants coun-
ty, and George c. Cole, Of Lewis
county, were named. Tommy Nc
Dougall got the most votes on the
first ballot, but lacked considerably OF
a majority. He fell back on the Sec
ond ballot, and on the third the NOM
nation went to Ogdin.
When nominations for Attorney
General were called for, an attempt
was made to stampede the convention
for Romeo H. Freer, but Romeo is a
name to copjure with no longer, and
he got less votes than any ofthe three
others who were named, Clark W.
May, of Lincoln county, Charles s.
Dice and H. C. Richards. Clark May,
a genial, manly fellow, typical West
Virginian, was he choice Of the con-
ventiou, and easily won on the second
ballot.
There was a very close fight for
State Superintendent Of Free Schools.
Those named were Thos. G. Miller,
the present incubent, W. N. Gorby,
w. H. Anderson, ]. R. Trotter and
Charles S. Brilles. After the first
ballot all dropped out except Miller
and Gorby, and on the second ballot
the race was excitingly even. Wood
county divided its votes so as to
throw the responsibility of an election
upon the only county that followed,
Wyoming. Wyoming had six votes,
and when it unhesitatingly gave them
solidly to Miller sigh Of relief fol-
lowed, quickly succeeded by the shouts
of Prof. Miller's friends. The total
showed 800 votes for Miller and 395
for Gorby, an uncomfortably close
margin. Prof. Miller had not only
to whip the other candidates for his
Office, but he had to fight Charles w.
Swisher, candidate for Secretary of
State, besides, it being presumed that
the convention would not name two
candidates from the same county,
Marion.
When candidates were called for
Secretary of State, c. W. Swisher, Of
Fairmont, got the whoop. Geo. F.
Evans, of Berkeley county, AMI M.
A. Kendall, of Wood, were named,
but it was evident that Swisher had
the convention with him, and tn
others withdrew. Swisher was nom
mated by reclamation, and the con-
vention made more fuss over him
than all the balance put together.
He's popular fellow and he had
made a rafting canvass. For Su-
preme Judges Frank Cox, of Morgan
town, and Joseph NJ. Saunders, Of
Bluefeld, were nominated. Cox is a
reputable lawyer and an excellent
man. The nomination of Saunders
for so high an Office is simply atrocious.
After naming j. A. Lenhart and
DR.. w. W. Monroe as electors at large,
and adopting the platform, the con-
vention adjourned.

BrutaIly Tortured.

A case came to light that for persist
ent and unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equaled. Jones Golobick of

dured insufferable pain from Rheuma-
tlsm and nothing relieved me, though |
tried everything known. | came across
Electric Bitters and it's the greatest

CONSIDERING the fierce factional
fight that the Republicans of West
Virginia have INDUCED in, they have
put up about the best ticket that
could have been named, under the
circumstances. 1t is pretty strong
list of candidates, and among them are
some very popular West Virginians.
1t will be well for the Democrats, in
the light Of these facts, to be extreme
ly careful in the selection Of their
State ticket, for it will take a good
one to win. Mr.. Dawson, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, is
not only a very shrewd politician,
but is on the popular side of State
issue OF great Importance. We believe
he can be beaten this year, but only
by the naming Of the very best sort of
a Democratic ticket, by the exercise
of the wieest political judgment, and
by a thoroughly united and enthusi-
astic Democracy.

AN enthusiastic meeting of the
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee Of West Virginia was held last
week at Huntington, when it was re-
solved to wage very aggressive fight
during the approaching campaign.
The disorganized condition of the
Republican party and the united spir-
it Of the Democrats give ground for
the hope that they will carry the
State next November. The State
committee completed its organization
by selecting G. W. Osenton, of Fay
cite, as vice-chairman Senator Will
liam Campbell, of Jefferson. secretary;
and Gen. T. s. Riley, of Wheeling,
treasurer. John T. McGraw was Sc
lected as temporary chairman for the

as mercury will surely destroy the sense

good you can possibly derive from them.
