Another Iustalmcut.

Another instalment of platform made
its appearance in the Intclligencer of
Saturday. 1t says:
We propose that this law shall be
corrected so as to guard against abuse
in every way possible, with the object
of securing to every man vote who is
entitled to one under the Constitution,
no matter what may be his political
opinions OF affiliations.

Mtelligencer had its way We would have
new issues presented every day, and ul-
timately We would see it stealing the
Democratic platform and trying to palm
it off as the genuine "loyal" doctrine.
Happily the Republican platform and
Mr.. HUBBARD's speech enable the voters
to understand the situation exactly.

The Lending Issue.

The leading issue i'll this canvass can
no longer be disguised. With those
who support Messrs. CAMPBELL and
HUBBARD, it is very well understood
that upon their election now may he
based Republican victory in Ohio
couRty in 1870. They expect to slip in
their present candidates as preliminary
to united effort to carry the county
next year. Every Democrat who per-
mits himself to be cajoled into aiding
directly or indirectly, the success ol
the Republican nominees is simply
strengthening the Republican party for
its fight next Fall. At that election
when all the county officers, including
Clerk, Recorder, Sheriff, States At
torney, &C., are to be chosen, we may
look for the hardest fight ever witnessed
in the county, if the Republican nom
inees are successful now. Every Dem
ocrat who gives complimentary vote
to either Mr.. CAMPBELL or Mr. HUB
BARD, gives that much advantage to the
Republicans, in the matter of controll
ing Ohio county in the future.

ton law, it asserts that which Mr.. HUE
BARD and the Convention which nom
mated him have disavowed. For these
reasons it matters little, so far as the
Republican candidates of Ohio county
are concerned, what may be The peliti
cal complexion of the next Legislature
At the same time, the Lntelligeneer de-
ceives the people when it attempts to
produce the impression that the next
Legislature will be opposed to an entire
"let up." In the various counties and
districts where genuine liberal Repub,
licans are running against proscriptives
they are running on almost the identl-
cal platform of the Ohio county Demo
Gratis, so far as registration reform is
concerned. The KITCHEN platform, IA
voring the repeal of the Voters Oath,
is a case in point. Hence it is that
whether the next Legislature be abso-
lutely. Democratic or not, it will prob
ably have a majority in favor OF the
immediate repeal of existing disabili-
ties. The Ohio county Republicans
know this. They want HUBBARD and
CAMPBELL in the Legislature to clog
tho movement, not to advance it.
1t is for Democrats to say whether
they shall be elected or not. Weeks
ago they insultingly repudiated all
utilization or coalition with the De-
mocracy." Now they denounce the
platform of the Democrats as an "im-
pudent demand and yet themselves
surpass all cotemporaneoues impudence
by insolently insisting upon Democratic
support. They cannot and will not be
supported by solid Republican vote.
They know that many honest Republi-
cans despise their trickery and repudi-
ate their nomination. Their only hope
is in Democratic assistance and that
they call for as arrogantly as if they
had, as of old, bayonets at their backs
and Provost Marshals guard to do
their bidding. Let not the Intelligencer
be surprised at Democratic "forgetful-
ness of the past" The Democrats re-
member the past all too we'll. They
see before them in the Republican
candidates two gentlemen whose
names can never be effaced from
Democratic memories. The pros
cription measures which have so
long cursed our State were matured
under their teaching. They welded the
lash and whipped their party into the
adoption of these test Oath infamies
which have disfranchised our citizens,
robbed them Of their dues, driven FROM
their professions, and finally forced
many of them to seek homes in other
States. The men who originated and
have sustained the relentless proscrip-
tive policy of West Virginia are not the
men to reform it. Every prescribed
West Virginian, whether socially and
politically degraded at home or exiled
in poverty by the damnable measures
Which Radicalism has enacted here, is a
living reminder of the conduct and de-
serts of such men as A. w. CAMPBELL
aud CHESTER d. HUBBARD. Let them
not be mistaken. Democrats do not

had new song in its mouth. 1t abused

Yours truly,
j, n. CAMDI

The time at which this offer was made
strengthens the charge against CARLILE
of recent intimate affiliation with the
Democracy. 1t shows that he was
was so thoroughly identified with the
Democrats as to be admitted 20 their
closest confidence and to know what
was not generally understood, that Mr'
CAMDEN would be candidate for the
nomination.
We have rendered Mr. CARLILE the
use of our columns to deny the charge
brought against him by the REGISTER.
He has pot availed himself of the offer
The conclusion is therefore forced upon
us that he has no denial to make. The
TelegrGph'S paragraph is a pitiful dodge.
1t sets off CARLILE's promise to pay
against Mr.. CAMDEN'S direct assertion.
People who know CARLnE and CAMDEN
will have little difficulty in making up
their minds that the promissory propo-
sition OF the former gentleman is as
worthless as the man who makes it.

That Carlile Business.
We find the annexed. paragraph in the
Clarksburg Telegraph of October 22d:
800 REWARD!

500 REWARD!
The Wheeling REGISTER has stated,
and it has been taken up and handed
around in Democratic circles, that after
Mr.. johnson n. Cumden was nominated
for Governor on the Democratic ticket
in 1868, Hon. John s. Carlile wrote him
letter proposing to canvass the State
of West Virginia in his behalf. 1t has
even been said that such letter IS IN
this town. Now, the above reward will
be paid in cash upon the delivery OF
said letter at this office. Let the letter
be forthcoming. The holder of the let
ter can get the reward.
This appears to be intended to meet
the charge that CARlLLE offered to
stump the State for CAMDEN in 1868.
But it is merely contemplate eva
sion. 1t is not asserted that Mr.. CARLILE
made his proposition "after Mr.. JOHN
son n. CAMDEN was nominated for
Governor" He rendered his services
before the nomination pas made, as the
following letter from Mr.. CAMDEN to
Messrs. LEWIS and DAVIS clearly proves :

But as Mr.. Carlile did on more than one
occasion make such tender of his ser
vices, which was known to others be-
sides myself-and in that way no doubt
has gained it's chief publicity-l deem
it due to those who have charged such
to be the fact, to state that Mr.. Carllle
did propose before my nomination that
if / was nominated he would come to
West Virginia and canvass the State for
me, and urged me to accept tho nomin-
alton if | should get it. | also had a

TIGHT TIMES.

We have known this fellow, Times,
for two and forty years, and during
that entire period he has been tight
He is always tight. A man named
Baldwin seems to have met him once in
Alabama when lie was Hush; but as a
rule, especially in Virginia, he is inva-
riably tight. During the war, he was
on a tremendous "bust,' and now he
is almost as tight as he WAS then. Some
times he is called Hard Times for short.
He is well-meaning fellow, aud at in-
tervals does his best to reform. But it
is no use--he will get tight again. He
has been getting worse for the last
month or 80, and is if possible tighter
than ever. Indeed, he is very tight. =
He is as tight as drum--tight as tick
tight as bricks--tight as the Emperor
Titus when he took Jerusalem. lie is
really tight. People abuse the poor
creature, but what good docs that do !?
He is on a henderson tcar--on high
old drunk. He has got the horrors--tEc
delir:um t,'iane les--and he sees snakes.
Fact is, Times is IN bad way; he can't
stand this much longer; he'll go up I;
it'll be the last OF him and we feel very
sorry for him. Poor old Times He's
