The county conven ton on last Sat.
urday was a credit to the county and
to the Democratic party. The delega-
ties were good representatives citizens,
they were not bossed by any man or
set of men and were all bent on put
ting up ticket that could win, and
they have done it. The candidates are
all men of the highest integrity and
responsibility and those for the most
important positions were chosen with
out opposition. For Messrs Gardner,
Noll and Henshow there was the
most perfect unity and everybody
was for them with enth .siasm.
For the other positions while there
were several names presented there
was nothing but the. best of feeling
shown and an earnest desire mani
Tested everywhere to get the strongest
men.

Conditions are quite different in
this campaign to what they were In
1896 and and 1900. In those cam
parc MS there was no nope for Bryan
IN the east because the independent
vote a d the great newspapers OF the
cas-. wefe against him. All the great
dally papsts in New York are out
Tor Parker excepting the Tribune and
the Sun. In Baltimore all the papers
are out for Parker excepting the Am
erican. and every indication points to
the cordial support of Parker by the
independent voters. This will be a
Democratic year.

]. !. CORNWELL.

In the last issue Of the Hampshire
Review Mr. J. ! Cornwell, Its editor
and the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, appeared the following editor
ial:
The result of the Democratic state
convention, held at Parkersburg last
week, in SO far as the gubernatorial
nomination is concerned, . as great
surprise, not only to our people here,
but to the editor Of this paper as well.
He was not a candidate for the nomi
nation and had, at different times,
when the matter was suggested by his
friends in different parts of the state,
declined to consider it. Hence it came
TO him most unexpt ctedly, but was
uusought. To secure it neither he ncr
his friends spent a single dollar, nor
was a single pledge or promise of any
kind. political Sr otherwise. enter d
into. Therefore the candidate goes
into the campaign unhampered and
n filtered, with no complications,
wearing no man S collar, the candidate
Of no individual or faction, but the
candidate alone Of his party, standing
upon the platform he las made for
himself during the service he has rem
dered in the state senate, as well as
that written by his party in conVen-
tic assembled. The assurances of
support have come to him already by
tier. and otherwise. from his Repub.
lican friends throughout the state,
lie ads him to believe that the result in
Hampshire county, at least, will be
most gratifying because the Demo
Gratis of the county always do their
duty. The demonstration given IN
his honor on his return to his home
t,re to spend Sunday was so f1at'er
~ aud complimentary as to be al
most embarrassing and whether elect
ed or defeated the most gratifying
thing in connection with his candi
dacy will be the reme mbrance of the
enthusiastic manner in which his
nomination was received by his neigh
bois both here and in the adjoining
counties.
The campaign, in so far as the can
date tor governor controls and con
ducts it, will be a clean and honor
able one. free from personalities and
bitterness. He will discuss as best he
i, able, the issues involved in the
campaign and.the public records OF
the candidates for all the various pc
sitions on both tickets. but no abuse
or SANDER will emana' ON him. II
ected he will be the governor of the
whole people, unhampered by prom
ises and unfettered by tactional ALI
ances. owned, controlled and dictated
to by no one, but guided solely by a
desire to do at all times that which is
best for his people and the state in
which he was born and reared and
which he is proud to claim as his
home.
