The IrrepresSibIe Conflict Between
the Two Wings Of the West virginia
Democracy.

Democracy. ...s.
We publish this morning q leading
article from the organ Of the Jacob De-
mocrscy at Charleston, showing that war
hiss been declared between them and the
Bourbon branch Of the party in this State.
As has been already announced the
chiefs of the Reform or Jacob wing Of
the marty held a little sort Of an Ecumen.
icsl council down at Charleston Q few
days ago, at which some Of their leading
spirits from different parts Of the State
were present, and at this council II was
resolved to cut loose from the corrupt
Bourbon Ring that has been running the
Government and trying to compel the
Governor OF the State to abdicate his
rights in their favor, because he would
not become their tool. What this move
ment amounts to in the way OF a popular
following we have at this time no means
Of determining with anything like exact
ness but, taking the voteo 1879 as our
basis Of conjecture, we may safely assume
that i. Is strong enough to excite the most
lively approximations of defeat in the
minds Of the Bourbons. ,E..alaGl
The people Of West Virginia, like
people generally these times, are very un.
settled in their politics. They are 80 be-
cause Of the fearful developements Of
political corruption that have come. TO
light in the National and Ssste Govern.
uents within the last year or SO, and
they have been SO far alienated and
lisafected In their attachments as
10 become not only Indifferent but un-
uually suspicious of all sorts Of politics
and politicians. The consequence IS that
no one can tell how generally the people
will either remain at home or respond to
anew departure in politics at time like
the present. There is very little
doubt however that a general dis.
gust prevails throughout this part
Ol the State at the dolngs Of Charlie
ston, and were an election to take
plsce tomorrow great deal Of feeling
would be manifested against the Bourbon
wing Of ths Democracy. The people be.
lieve that Gov. JACOB is personally . pure
man; that he belongs to no ring; that be
cannot be induced 10 Join in any scheme
Ol spoliation; that he has conscientiously
waged war against the WALKER ring; and
thus believing they sympathizs with bis
determination not to be degraded in office
by bis enemies. They are therefore dispos.
dto.dsy as they were IN 1879 to spouse
hl. cause and to send men to the Legisla.

point certain man Public Printer, viii

Their Pronunciamento Against the
Bourbon Ring.
IFssR assaa 'ro k'nawhl Chronicle, Gov. Jacobs
: II will be seen from the announcement
which we make in another place, that the
True Democracy Of the State has taken
Initiative steps to reOrganite the party
upon the basis of the time honored prin-
ciple and policy Of the party, as handed
down 10 II by the wise and pure men who
first organized It. We congratulate the
people on this movement. 1t Is a step In
the right direction. 1t has long been sp-
parent that 1t would be suicidal to follow
the leading Of the CORRUPT AND sELFIsH
RING who have got control OF the
party machinery In this State. They
have already given the most ample
proofs OF their unfitness to lead. They
have brought discredit and DIsHoEoR
upon the party; and made the name oi
Democracy TO be almost term ol re.
proach upon the party. Yet while all this
and much more has been done by the
leaders to bring the party inlo disrepute,
we still believe In the ultimate success Of
our Democratic principles. There may
be a departure, for 0 time, from those prin.
ciples; but we believe that the best inter
ests OF the country are 80 bound up in
them, that we must come back 70 them In
tho end, even though they may be known
under some other name. :.
We hail this movement, then, ,as an omen
OF good. We believe that the people de-
mand q return to the old traditions ofthe
Democratic party. They are tired Of see.
ing the party used In the interests Of
ring, and only for the benefit Of iew
small politicians. Hereafter let the motto
Of the party be, "wise measures, and hon.
est men" ."l7i .-,t a7a .-'-- "A

orally enlarge their circumference and
importance in this world, while those
who are neglectful, and inefficient

out. One Of the troubles with the
P. & A. was that II could mot
get INTO the habit Of sending messages
either promptly or correctly; another was,
60 far as this city was concerned, that It
buried itselfin an obscure place and was
comparatively unknown to the public. 1t
is a matter. for regret that there can not be
two great and well appointed telegnphic
