MS again necessary 10 make public
! few facts about the Conservative and its
editor, although we are about lstigued
reiterating the same thing over and over
again. An impertlnent curiosity has been
eiIVeudered and We proceed TO unbosom
ouTself in Q manner which will be very
exnlicit and we trust satisfactory TO eY-
ervbodY While we recognize the insult
iefable impertinence manifested, the only
way 10 silence such busy.bodies Is TO make
"clean breast" ofthe matter and leave
them no good ground for evil surmistngs;
We have neither drawn the capital
prize In q lottery, been lett q legacy BY Q
delunct relative nor received Q cent Of
John ]. Davis 5000, consequently the
hue and cry about the pecuntary aid oil
Mr. Davis Is false IN toto.
To our energetic business manager and
publisher, we owe more thanks than we
can at present acknowledge.
II hard work and care Will place the
Conservative ON q substantial foundation,
its success 10 sure. If 1t Is necessary we
shall compose our own type, wash our
own forms and carry our own paper.
Il Is such wonderful thing for young
man to struggle out oil the slough Of
despond" and place in the public's hand
a Daily newspaper, without any other
capitol than the type and PresSesE Our
capital Is "pluck" and hard work.
It has pleased some who are concerned
In our our affairs, to call the Conservative,
John ]. Davis organ. To this we reply,
it SnOt 40! The C0nSerUdtiUe Is the organ
of c. w. Walters and no one else. No
man can or shall say he controls our col.
UmnS We are independent oil any per-
sonal or party patron age or restrictions.
We will not wear any political collar aud
weeAPOct 10 receive the SluTe and ridlcule
Of party tools, GsSNnse when we address
10 sensible and patriotic citizens, and not
office seeking, OHe.Sided men.
We were Graded In the dschOol
Democracy, and we would be untrue to
Our education and convictions II we were
aught else. Not this latter day DemoC.
raOy, which passes over It's honor 10 the
keeping Of Horace Greeley, whose first
instincts were hatred 10 tho very name OF
Democracy. Our political platform Is
based on jetterson's principles. We shall
support the men who are the most pure,
capable and honest; our allegiance shall
be given to the party who will best serve
the Republic, and whose ideas shall be
founded on honor and justice; we shall
give our adhesion TO the party who shall
make war on the den Of National and
State thieves.
In our own mountain State we see little
difference between the Radicals and the
so.called Democracy, and our sympathies
are with the heroic band Of men who
headed the forlorn hope Of Democracy
and stood out like brave men against the
political heresles and heretics upheld by
that VenRl organ the Register.
We shall labor 70 bring about the day
when all offices shall DO filled with true
and gallant men, when both State and
Nation shall be governed,
with cOunssls sAgs and patriotic zeal;
The veterans skill, Youths GEs, aud mAnhood's
heart Of steel"
We sum up our subject under these two
heads:
1st.-We are as poor as ever we were,
A.-NOman In the world Is rich enough
to buy the editorial columns Of the Con-
GeTpQEiUe.
