The radical party IN West Virginia is in
full sympathy With that faction in Con
gress. Its course in the West Vir
gina Legislature is parallel to its
course in Congress. 1t thrives only mp

though they were ropes of sand The
conservative masses of the country are
striving in co operation with President
JOHNSON for the preservation of popular
lights and the sanctity of written Con
situations Let us show our sympathy
with the President and our devotion to
the principles for which he contends by
overtbrowing radicalism here. Our
work is at home. The President will
deal with national affairs; it is the duty
OF conservative men to caIry GU: his
policy in West Virginia.
