Let the files of the Enquirer, for 1921, answer the
question!
The ruth is, Gen. Harrison is nst so much in
favor Of National Bank, as that he would not vc-
n an act of incorporation if the experiment 10 do
without su.l, an institution shall fail to fulfil the
PREDICTIONS of the quacks by whom II was Ins'itu-
,.d II, as in 1916, the country should b" threat
ened will, ruin and bankruptcy, and flooded with
,spurious and worthless currency, consequent up
on the increase Of paper money, the ovcr-ssucs Of
the countless local Banks which thcn infested the
country and Which, under the influence Of like
causes are again sprinsing from the ashes of the
Monster, Gen. Harrison will, Mr.. Mad
son did, in 1916, relinquish his objections to such
an institution, and agree I, lis in orpnr,ion. An,
in 60 dnng he " i'll be sustain d, IA, Mr. Madison
was in 1916 by the universal voice Of the country.
Those who may be deficient in the moral courage
10 apworc, will, as p. p. Barbour did, in 1916,
desert t'cI posts rather than oppose; or, as Il c
Enquirer, at the same period, did, will applaud
viii, lainl condemnation - or, rs Virginia did, will
aceuic>cr with trignrd reluctance, bu; in joyful
hope OF It's aIspcious influences.
O. The Enquirer calls hard names and
scolJs US Ike very drab, cxcusing itself therefor
by unjust iably charging with pervcrting its
meaning. II we had not quoted its very expression,
italics and all, then there might b,' reason in
the Enquirer's rage. Blu, We cited it's very words,
With the Editors peculiar emphasis, TO wit, "our
wishes, as mon, arc clearly in favor OF Gen. Ilar
rson against julie Wilhelm not being able
10 SEE tie lropricty of p"iaical journal, Wills,
discussing the merits Of candidates for poiuical
Office, openly expressing its Personal preferences
for a MN against whom ii va, continually charc
ing the most odoas and dangerous hrrr>irs, over
another, who, by its own admission, is polHcnHy
nncxccWionablc, commented on the remark
in terms which we then thought, and still think, it
mer'cd and justified. We very readily acknow-
ledge tia, man may respect some cf I,ls poliIl-
cal opponents more than he does of his poll
Teal aSsoca,cs-buf in a political contest, in which
vital principles are involved, cannot admit
that mere personal esteem jns,ies the expression
ola preference Of linn who cn,crtains hereical o.
pinons over another, less esteemed personally,
but whose political opinions are orthodox-espc
eialy when dislike of the latter as in the case of
the Enquirer towards Judge White, is the result
no, Of any dement, in the person of the candidate,
but Of mfounded prejudice in the other party.
With regard 10 the En1uircr's cpithets of abnsc
they may pass for what they worth. We
could rctor them, if VIC thought proper but,
though not quite so old as MIR. Richie, we have
lived long enough to know that he who comes off
best in such an encounter has no reason to boast
Of his victory.
u We suppose that the Enquircr's prefer
ence for Mr.. Van Buren, over Judge White is to
sdcrations-sncc most Of the charges which that
paper urges against Gen. Harrison are equally true
of MIR. Van Buren,, and do not apply to Judge
White. Politically, the Enquirer is bound, by its
own showing, 10 support Judge White but we
suppose " s wishes, as men, are clearly in favor
Of MIR. Van Buren,"
" We were quite amused to see, in the last
Enquirer, a Challenge from the " Republican
county of Boctourt," to Shenandoah. Halifax,
