gssions of the press in his favor:
The candidacy Of Hon. Louis Bennett
of Lewis county, for the Democratic
nomination for governor of West Virgin
ia. has been formally announced. The
editor of the watchmal hal the honor to
serve with him in the legislature of 1891
Mr.. Bennett was Speaker OF the House
of Delegates and has therefore had an ex-
ceptional opportunity to Judge Of his
character and mentality. We have no
Jon in saying that as governor of
L he would do honor to the Office
measure up to its finest traditions
Mr.. Bennett is every inch gentleman
cultured, courteous and courageous. He
was born and reared on West Virginia
soil and is genuinely devoted to his state
and her interests. He has had large
acquaintance with public affairs. an ex-
perience covering many activities and
usefulnesses, and is wholly unspoilt by
the shining success he has made of his
life. A lawyer by profession and well
equipped public speaker. he is also one
of the largest farm and land owners of
Lewis county, and pillar in the temple
Of business enterprise. Mr.. Bennett be-
longs to no cabal or faction. He is
sovereign of himself, taking orders from
nobody, on terms of amity with all and
willing to do injustice to none. He is
democrat with no quarrels to finish and
happily fitted to unite all elements of the
party. Firm without rashness, student
of duty, reverencing his conscience and
commended by stainless life. he would
make an ideal governor.

would welcome the opportunity to give
their votes to him as a relief to situation
which is growing intolerable. 1t is not
surprising that Mr. Benefits candidacy
is growing in strength in nearly every
quarter of the state.-Monroe Watch
man.
Being farmer himself his interests
would be to the farmers interests. Beng
himself successful business man and
6nancier, the business men of the state
could readily trust him. Not being allied
with any faction that may exist in the
democratic party, but wholly indepen-
dent of any possible connection. past or
present with any disturbing ambitions at
war in our party, both such factions
could, and would support him. Being
therefore free from any faction, indepen-

cal parties for selfish purposes. but pos
