We present our readers to-day with a good newspaper picture of Hon Ira E. Robinson of Taylor county, who is taking an advanced lead in the race for the republican nomination for Congress, having been already heartily endorsed by his home county. and having been given the privilege of selecting his own delegates to the Keyser convention. Monongalia county, too, neighboring on Taylor, appears to have fallen in line and on Saturday gave Mr. Robinson at least twenty-three of the thirty-two delegates to the Keyser convention. Barbour county, also neighboring on Taylor, held its convention last Wednesday, and gave Mr. Robinson eighteen of the nineteen delegates. From all of this it would appear that Mr. Robinson stands a very fine chance of receiving the nomination at Keyser the 26th inst., and if so, we are firm in the belief that he will conduct a progressive and popular campaign for election, His high ability as an orator admirably fits him to meet the most powerful factors of the democratic party of the district, while his success as an attorney at the leading bars of the state, coupled with his successful career in the Senate, create him a very formidable candidate indeed, and one who, if intrusted with the nomination will undoubtedly lead the party to triumphant victory.
