TIE Jacobips, inspired with Radical
ism and supported by salary grabs and
back-pay stealiogs, have recently starts
ed little daily paper in Clarksburg,
called the Conservative, which ia he
most outrageous perversion Of good
name We have ever known. This daily
Radical. Conservative is the special
organ OF the John J. Jacob and John
J. Davis Radical party. With the back
pay s,eslings OF John j. Davis from
the United States Government, il is
cnntem plated to stsrt and build up an
organ which will Influence the voters
10 the next election and aid the Radical
party in their conspiracy against the
OF the State.
A few weeks ago this Jacob Davis
organ Issued q proclamation, calling
upon all the independent Jacot Dem
ocra,s to organize aud prepare for ac-
ton. We have one Of the original
J Jacot" Radicals in this community, who
stuck to the regular Radical party as
long as be thought there WAS any
chance TO get an Office; failing in that
he became a Liberal Republican, and
ran that as long IS he thought there
was any thing in it. aud failing in that,
be undertook TO manipulate the Demo-
cratic party, in which he met
with no better success, and now
we understand he proposes 10 try the
Jacobin- dodge. He is JUS!
the man for the times, and we have no
doubt but that the business will suit
him-tbat is, for swhile-until lie be-
comes satisfied be cannot get an Office,
then he will try something else.
The Jseobin party Of West Virginia
is composed Of Just such material. In
fact, Jacob has GO party. Even the
Radicals have repudiated him. and be
now stands almost solitary and alone,
with now and then a John J. Davis or
a bogus Radical Democrat TO support
him. m.-Parkrsburg Examiner.
