opposition 70 that regularly and fairly
nominated by the County Convention,
sort of comparison is invited. 1t is {
comparison from which the candidate
on the regular ticket have no reason tc
shrink. "'


At nearly every session Of the Legis
lsture for a number Of years past, th'
city of Wheeling and the county o
Ohio have asked for some special legis
lstiou or had some peculiar interests tc
guard. 1t devolved upon our repre-.
sentatives to secure this legislation and
guard these interests. Under the new
Constitution the Legislature is required
to pass general laws to govern the sub
jects upon which special legislation has
heretofore been had, and j: is therefore
of much importance that these laws be
80 framed as to protect the local inter-
ests of the city of Wheeling.


Notwithstanding his comparative
youth, Mr.. GEORGE o. DAVENPORT is
probably better posted upon these sub
jects than any other man in Ohio
county to-day. He has devoted espe.
cial study to the new Constitution and
is thoroughly familiar with its pro-
visions, and we seriously doubt whether
there is another man in the county
better qualified to discharge the imports
ant duty Of framing a code of laws in
accordance with its requirements and
the interests Of the people. His ex-


.;cn WAS valu-
able one and has Contribute" II, =. ~.
degree to his fitness as alegislator now. q.


Mr.. w. w. MILLER is also possessed
Of good degree OF Legislative expert
ence and was also 8 member OF the Con-
vention and is familiar with the pro-
visions OF the new Constitution. He,
too, will be able 10 render the people
of this county better service in the
Legislature than could be reaso pably
expected from any one who has not had
his opportunity Of Tearing the spirit and
meaning of the Constitution.


In The Constitutional Convention
last winter, there were few men who
exercised more influence than Mr.
PASNELL, now a candidate for State
Senate. His strong common sense and
his practical knowledge of business
affairs gave great weight to his opin-
ions. In the State Senate his services
will be invaluable. Having participa-
ted in framing the Constitution, and
knowing the meaning of every clause
and the reasons that procured its
adoption and the work it is intended to
accomplish, he is one Of the best men
that could be sent to the Legislature at
this time. In the Senate, he will exert
an influence second to that of no other
member of that body and the business
men of Wheeling need want no better
guardian Of their interests than he.


Mr.. ROBINSON is q plain, practical
aud sensible farmer. He Was q mem
Der OF the Legislature last winter and
did good service, and the experience
then acquired will render him all the
more valuable as representative next
winter.


OF the six candidates for the Legisla-
ture, we have thus enumerated four
who have had valuable legislative ex-
perience and who have already, in legis-
lative bodies, served we'll the interests o.
this community and qualified them
selves for even better service in the fu-
ture. Neither Of the remaining two
has ever been member Of a legislative
body, but both possess talents that will
abuudantly qualify them to serve a.
representatives Of our people and make
honorable mark.


DR.. NJ. F. HuLLIHEN is q man Of fine
natural talent and thorough education
There are few better classical scholars
in the State than he and few Of better
literary skill His education has been
of such Q character as will enable him
to very creditsbly discharge his duty in
any station in which he may be placed
and it cannot be doubted that in the
House of Delegates he will prove q
valuable and useful member.


ABRAx WILSON, Of Brooke county
candidate for State Senate, is an up
right and straightforward and sensible
farmer. He is known to many of the
people OF the district as . thrifty and
successful man whose whole life ha:
been characterized BY the strictest in
tegrity and who enjoys in . remarkable
degree the confidence and respect Of al
who know him.
