BOREMAN AGAIN A CANDIDATE!
That strange creature, A. I. Boreman, who has the endorsement of the radicals of this county, led on by Balch and Chapline, is again a candidate for Gubernatorial honors. The radicals were too well pleased with his official rascality to permit him to retire from his giddy position, without giving him a chance for a second heat, and it is a matter of little consequence to them whether he is beaten or successful. Balch doesn't care a straw about him, and only offered the resolution at Shepherdstown as some slight return for Boreman's kindness in conferring upon him the judgeship of this district—a position for which he never was fitted. Chapline don't want him to become too prominent, for he is himself an aspiring man. But Boreman, Balch, Chapline, and the whole crew must go under this fall, when the great ground swell of the people will hurl radicalism from place and power. Then exit Joseph to Iowa, to speculate in low priced lands.
