prominent Republican leaders say moth.

The independent press Of the country is
rapidly educating the voters Of both PSF
ties to "bolt" whenever by fraud CT
trick the popular will is defeated in
nominations. The great bolt Of the
Democratic psrty in this State in 1872
was the most wholesome lesson
ever administered in West Virginia
politics. 1t will do good for many
years to come. A lesson OF the same sort
among the Republicans Of the Washing
ton, Pa, District seems just now to be
needed quite IS badly.
