Editors OF the IntelliEcneer:
1t Is rather amusing to witness the
squirming and wincing Of the Ring or
gsns, and to read in the Bourbon press
about "Party Unity" "Organize," ETC.,
etc. These party appeals fall lifeess on
the ears OF the "Bolters" Of 1872, who
then pledged themselves to stand together
in resisting party fraud, party trickery,

OF 1879 assured the Ring Of the certain
defeat Of the nominee Of the Parkersburg
packed Convention, and promised the
Wheeling Register and other papers Of

assaults of the Ring papers and resolve
to defeat them, than they have to think
