A Winning Ticket.
If the Republicans of Ohio county do their duty from now until November the ticket nominated by the convention yesterday will be elected from top to bottom. It would be very hard indeed to select a stronger one, or one which could command a heartier support of the entire party.
Every man selected has elements of strength peculiar to himself, and all combined compose an invincible ticket.
They were selected with deliberation and with the aim to do what the party would endorse. The harmony and enthusiasm which prevailed throughout the convention indicated the earnestness and good feeling that exists among the Republicans of Ohio county this year, and the united front they will present to the enemy.
With the selection of a good ticket the duty of the party does not end.
Earnest work and constant vigilance together with perfect organization, no matter how popular the candidates are.
The INTELLIGENCER believes that past experience has taught Ohio county Republicans to appreciate this fact, and they are alive to the situation.
The county committee should get to work immediately, and, aided by the rank and file, make a strong, steady pull for success. Success in the state depends much on what Ohio county does.
The importance of this fact cannot be overvalued. Four years ago a single Republican member of the legislature from this county would have insured a Republican United States senator from West Virginia; prevented the outrage by which the Republican governor's right to the office was stolen from him; made it impossible for the senatorial districts to be gerrymandered in the interests of the Democratic party, and made a Republican victory this year even more certain than it is.
Thus, it may be seen how important Ohio county's action is. We have the votes. Let us organize, get them out and carry the county for the whole ticket from President to constables.
