voters can register. Union menl see
every delinquent friend and neighbor 4
to-day. Get their names on the books.
In speaking Of the probable demo-
cratic candidates for Governor in this
State on yesterday morning, the types
made us to speak of Gen. Jackson, of
Parkersburg, as General Johnson.
QUIZ Union friends In Triadeiphia
township are moving energetically, as
we are glad to know, in the matter of
the election ON the 9th. We expect
that township to give good account of
itself, as It did last fall at the
time the expectations of the enemy
were so badly disappointed. We hope
our friends there will not Rbate their Ia
bors as long as the name of a single
Union man remains unregistered, and
after that make sure that every voter
turns out on election day.
In the city we need to follow the ex-
ample of Triadelphia township. We
fear the same kind Of work is not being
done. And yet only two days remain
to-day and to-morrow-in which TO
get our3vote ready for polling on cleo
ton day. Can not our friends see the
vital necessity for their best efforts
throughout these two daysf Unless
those who expect to vote the Union
ticket ON the oath are first registered,
they cannot vote when that day comes.
And they cannot be registered afterto-
morrow 5g.5ss.se s..iz
THE true character of the so-called
"conseryatiye" papers of this State is
well Illustrated by the last issue of the
Weston Herald, the editor of which
berates Governor Pefrpoint for refus-
ing the use of the Hall of the House of
Delegates at Richmond for the delivery
OF eulogy ON the life and character of
Stonewall Jackson. The editor taunts
Governor PeirpoIhtwith not being able
10 appreciate "the character Of the
Christian Warrior"
lsrhe difference in a thing, " said Sam
Patch, .sisin the way you look at it. !"
And thus arises the difference between
Governor Peirpoint and the tconserva-
tiver man who edits the Weston Her
aid. The one views StonewalI Jackson
as traitor to his country, who is in a
large part responsible forthe blood of
thousands of his conntrymen, while
the other, looking through rebel-con-
sentative spectacles, sees the bloody
rebel in the light of Christian
warrior.
In case West Virginia should fall
into the hands of such conservative
gentlemen as the Weston editor, we
should soon expect TO hear In our
House of Delegates eulogies on the
character of Stonewall jackson. and
on every other prominent rebel liy-
ing or dead. e
