IMcGraw for Governor.

The Grafton Leader, published in
the home city of Col. John T. Me-
Graw, presents the name of that dis
tinguished citizen and sterling Demo
crat as candidate for the gubernator-
ial nomination of his party.
This suggestion will be regarded as
very significant on account of the
source from which II comes. Col. Me-
Graw would not onlybe almost certain
of election in the event of his nom ina
ton, but he would also make an ex-
cellent governor. West Virginia needs
a man of his conspicuous ability as it's
chief executive officer, and probably
no other nomination would contribut lie
more toward solidifying the party and
strengthening its ticket in the coming
ca mpaign,
Not only weuld the Grafton man re-
ceive the united and hearty support Of
Democracy, but he would be invulner-
able TO attacks from the enemy. The
opposition press, led by the morning
sheet of the Wheeling newspaper trust
has said so tmany complimentary
things about him since ibis defeat for
United States senator, that il could
not indulge in criticism of HIM with
out convicting itself of rank insincer-
ity. Col. McGraw would make an ideal
Democratic candidate for governor
from every point of view-Wbeeling
