Time Coming.
1t has leaked out that Monongalia
is after the scalp Of others than A.
G. Dayton. IL will be remembered
that John j. Hetzel, of Martinsburg,
was asked to enter the race against
Day ton when he was in attendance
at the celebrated harmony" meeting
at W ashington. He refused to cou-
slider the matter.
Protfers of aid and comfort were
made TO him by Hon. George c.
Sturgss and others prominent in
the party. They want Dayton GUST
ed from Congress and are casting
around for some one to make the
race against him.
That others are also marked for
slaughter, if this county can accom-
plish this purpose,''is shown from the
fact that Mr.. Hetzel has been asked
to run for the place as Secretary OF
State to which C. w. Swisher is an
aspirant,
From whom these tenders of advice
and support cane has not developed,
but it is suspected that some OF the
same men who wanted him to get
after Dayton has Kissed him onto

GENTLY urged, What he says is set
forth in a special from Martlnsbarg:
Yes, oyertures were made to me
at Wheeling by those who would like
to see this section OF the State rep
resented on the ticket, and who favor
my nomination for Secretary of
State, but the. matter has not yet
assumed such shape as would permit
me to say what l will do. l have

and the proposition is as yet too re
cent for me to either accept or decline
the protier of assistance already

The honor of place on the ticket
is a distinguished one, and while l
believe, like many others, that this
section OF the State is entitled to
cor sideration, | am not ready to
announce my candidacy at this time
| ray, however, have something to
say later"
An effort was recently made To
secure Mr. Hetzel's consent TO enter
The race against Mr., Dayton for the
nomination for Congress from this
district, bnt the Martinsburg man
emphatically declined to oppose the
present representative.
Monongslia has been sore at
Swisher since the drubbing which be
gave to them in the Senatorial fight,
the bitterness of which still rankles
in their breasts. They are evidently
in the mood To do what they can to
down him in his new found ambition
to GO to the place as Secretary of
State from the Senate to which he
now belongs.
Marion and her gang are after
the sealps OF those who threw down
Meredith after they had promised to
support him in return tor his with
drawal from the race against Judge
Hagans. The history of this deal is
fresh and every one remembers it.
Marion is determined that Monon-
gala shall remember it for many
day and will go after every man in
the deal every time she gets chance
to take a crack at him.
Notice has been served on the local
rings.ers that no one but Col Nc
Dermott will be acceptable to them
for the Senate and that there is no
use OF talking of any other man.
Monongal,a may buck them ON this
proposition, but it will be fight to
the finish if it comes to this.
Thai. the fighting is to be pushed
from this side of the fence cannot ne
doubted from the moves which have
come to light recently, both in con
nection with the Hetzel matter and
along other lines not now ready to oe
announced.
