The Parkersburg papers had a
great deal to say last week about
Calhoun instructing her delegates
for Ed. G Stevenson for Con-
gress. We don't know where
this report came from, but there
is no foundation whatever for it.
We held our convention more
than a month ago and no in
structions were given the dele
gates to the Congressional con-
vention. Had their been any,
they would undoubtedly be for
Hon. r. F. Kidd, of Gilmer coun-
ty, who will take Harry's scalp
